Panasonic Marketing Middle East and Africa (PMMAF) has introduced its new series of portable power supply packs, allowing users to charge their gadgets on-the-go.

This easy-to-use and compact portable power supply is compatible for users of smartphones (such as iPhone, Blackberry, and Galaxy), tablet PCs (such as iPad), digital cameras (such as Lumix), portable game consoles (such as PSP) and MP3 players (such as iPod).

The highest-capacity model in the series, QE-QL301, can provide enough power to fully charge a smartphone four times on a single charge, twice the capacity of the company's current model, a statement from Panasonic said. In addition, it is rechargeable and can be used repeatedly approximately 500 times.
 
Powered by portable reserved batteries via USB/AC power point, with built-in USB terminals and an associated micro USB attachment, the power supply is compatible with most electronic devices, the statement said.

Hayashi Noriyuki, manager, system solutions department, said: “The mobile phone industry has gone through a major revamp and grown exponentially over the recent years. It is a popular and demanding market and with this rise there has been a growing concern over the battery life among users.”

In line with this, Panasonic’s portable power supply offers an ideal solution to extend the battery life whilst enabling consumers to enjoy the benefit of easy portability, compatibility and convenience at all times.”
