The FreePlay ZipCharge battery can give you extra hours of life with a mere 60-second charge. It’s not quite as sleek as some other battery chargers, but the FreePlay ZipCharge is for when you need juice and you need it fast.
The company claims that charging the battery for 60 seconds will give you 2-hours of iPod playback and 8 hours of standby on your phone, or 15 minutes of talk time.
A 10-minute charge will give you 10 hours of talk time or 20 hours of playback on your MP3 player. The kit comes with 8 different adapters for charging all manner of gadgets from big name brands.
The $80 super battery, which charges 4 times faster than a lithium-ion counterparts, gets its power from “clever nano physics”, though the 850mAh ZipCharge can only give your device one full charge.
The ZipCharge is only available in the UK for now, with a US-compatible version coming in the next few months. You can order it at CuteBitz.
