Mobile power source manufacturer Jackery has launched a crowdfunding campaign for its latest battery pack, which promises to deliver plenty of power for people on the move. With its powerful 20,800mAh battery, the Jackery PowerBar includes an AC wall outlet, greatly extending its functionality as a portable power station. The PowerBar has enough capacity to recharge most smartphones anywhere from five to 10 times, or a tablet as many as four times. The device will also charge drones, cameras, GPS trackers, or just about anything else with a rechargeable battery as well.
In addition to its AC outlet, the PowerBar is equipped with a standard USB, USB-C port, and Quick Charge 3.0 allowing it to charge as many as four devices at the same time. It is also compatible with Jackery’s solar panel, allowing it to be recharged while off the grid, too.
The PowerBar is expected to sell for $199, although early bird backers can pre-order one now at a substantial discount.
