UPDATE 3: USB-C charger Entering Production

UPDATE 3:  USB-C charger - We Are Finally Entering Production!

Hi everyone, just wanted to send a small update.

We have officially entered into production for the World's First USB-C car and battery charger!
We expect it to be available in about a month and we are looking to have pre-orders up shortly.

If you have been following our blog, you might have noted that our USB-C charger was originally going to be 87w.  For our current model, we had to compromise on the 87w power, dropping it down to 60w so as to maintain compatibility across all the larger devices like Macbook, Dell, HP, etc. Please be assured that 60w of power is still plenty of power (more then anyone else!) to charge and power your New Macbook Pro 15" from car or Battery.  Also, there are a lot of external batteries out there that do not support 87w power which could potentially cause overload conditions.

Stay powered up!

New Surface Pro 4 and Lind Car adapters

New Surface Pro 4 and related power supplies.

We have been selling Surface Pro Car accessories since the Surface hit the market.  More specifically, our Lind Candy adapters originally could charge the Surface Pro 3 and Surface Pro 4. But with the latest updates from Microsoft, it seems the Lind Candy adapter will no longer be able to power the Surface Pro 4.

As indicated by this thread:

http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/new-power-supply-has-65w.17858/

it seems that the adapter that currently ships with the Surface Pro 4 is a bit underpowered!  Also, looking at Microsoft's website, they only seem to be stocking the larger sized 65w replacement adapters and not the smaller 36w adapter that actually ships with the Surface Pro 4.

So, as of today, we are changing our store lineup and selling the Lind "candy" size adapter for the Surface Pro 3 ONLY.  The Surface Pro 4's Lind adapters will be shipped with a higher power Lind adapter comparable to the 65W Microsoft replacement adapters.  This larger size/higher power Lind adapter will allow users to continue to charge the Surface Pro 4 battery while the tablet is in use.

UPDATE 2: USB-C Adapter for full line of USB-C Macbooks! (Almost there)

I am so excited guys! We are almost there!

Final prototype in testing.

If all final testing goes well, we'll have pre-order up soon, so watch this space!

World's only USB-C car adapter and universal battery charger.

We recently tested our competitors, and we can safely say that we are going to be able to fully power a full sized Macbook Pro 15" from any External battery (within voltage output range of 12-24vdc),

Here are our some pictures of our prototype in final testing. (End casing will be white in color.)

(Pictures of our USB-C adapter after fully charging our MBP 15 from 0% charge.)

Stay tuned!  We will be announcing the launch of this great product first here!

Until then...

Stay powered up!

UPDATE: USB-C Adapter for full line of USB-C Macbooks!

Hi Everyone.

Thanks for emailing us your questions. We are still working hard on this project. 

USB-C is turning out to be harder than expected as getting it to work across all devices is not an easy task. One of the reasons why is because USB-C PD is a smart adapter which means there is communication between the charger and the device to adjust the voltage accordingly. Most of today's devices typically have one adapter to one device. 
Basically 1 to 1. USB-C is 1 to many.

The other delay has been our Courier unfortunately crushing our prototype during delivery which created a long wait whilst getting another one done :-(

Despite all of this, we are moving forward steadily and we will keep you all posted regarding our progress.
Thanks for your patience.

Battery Box conversion

Hi All,

Recently a customer came to us about converting their Batterybox. He was concerned that we might not be able to convert the Batterybox due to the software used to control it since removing the center pin on Magsafe end.

So this is what you read about Batterybox:

BatteryBox powers your laptop rather than charging it, keeping the battery at the same charge percentage - minimizing the number of cycles and stress on your MacBook. This way you get the most power out of BatteryBox without wasting any energy from it travelling through the MacBook battery first. ”

After reading this, the below was my response to his concerns:

There cannot be software managing the device in the way mentioned above.  In fact, your Macbook would behave EXACTLY the same as the above description if you disabled the internal chip within the Magsafe. In the early days of the Magsafe, there were a lot of knock off magsafe cable that lacked the charging chip. All the cable did in essence was power the Macbook and NOT charge it. In fact, we have even seen some customers see their internal battery drain during high CPU usage.

The bottom line is this: Think of a battery as a cup of water.  You either drip power into your Macbook, or you pour as much as you can into the Macbook, at the end of the day you'll still have the same run time.

So now that that is explained, lets show you how we converted the Batterybox with a Genuine magsafe cable with full charging functionality restored!

A little bit of additional tibit: this is how they are bypassing Apple Patent, but leaving out the control chip within the Magsafe!

Like it?

Let us know.
