Surface Pro cigarette adapter for Phorce Battery bags NOW available!

Please go here found at bottom

Update: Phorce bag users

Great news!

We are shipping he Magsafe cable for the Phorce bag.
Many have already received their order. If not, it's on it's way. If you just need status update please email us.

There are also some who asked if they can just buy the connectors and do it themselves. Here they are.

Finally, there are some who are asking if they can switch to using the Phorce bag with the new Microsoft Surface tablet. You cannot directly power the Surface directly from the Phorce unless you use an car adapter. The Surface requires less power.
That adapter can be found here, but you'll still need to have the phorce connector to Female Cigarette jack. Please check back as we are looking to offer this solution to you.

RePost: Mac Mini External Battery

UPDATE: Apple release new MacMinis that does not have external power adapters anymore. This will NOT work with the New MacMini with built in power supply. We have since modified the New MacMini with external power supply here. With that mod, an external power supply can be used.

How we estimate our external battery life

Hello,

Recently, we were questioned about our Ultimate Macbook External Macbook battery and did not quite understand what we mean by "2.5 to 6 times" the life of your Macbook.

First of all, you cannot expect the largest Macbook Pro to run 6 times it's internal battery. Because there is a range of MacBooks out there, from the Macbook Air's to the retina Macbook Pro's, we can only give you a range because our battery will support any Macbook model.

So in short, you can expect the Macbook Air to last approx 6 times whereas, the Retina Macbook Pro about 2.5 times.

Now. What do we mean by that? If your rMBP runs about 4 hours on it's own, it'll run for approx. 10 hours total from both internal and external battery when you start off with everything fully charged.  
4 x 2.5 = 10.

Let's not mention the other things too, such as the brightness, how long your hard drive runs, what background processes you are running, how often your Macbook goes to sleep, etc etc. There is not a exact science and everything is different from person to person (or laptop to laptop).

How we test our battery:
1) Fully charge both Macbook and External battery.
2) Wifi on, keyboard light turned on with automatic power on/off, Screen to 80% brightness, no sleep no dim for the duration of test.
3) Have about 10% load on CPU. (typical email processes, and background backup and syncing).
4) Run until laptop is forced to sleep.


Thanks,

Hello,



We were recently contacted by a user who needed a custom external battery solution for the Dell Venue Pro 11 tablet.
