There’s nothing worse than seeing that dreaded red battery icon on your iPhone or iPod. During CES we’ll be presenting our new and improved PowerBlock Reserve.

PowerBlock Reserve & PowerBlock Reserve Universal

PowerBlock Reserve is a wall charger that can be plugged into any AC wall outlet to provide a quick boost of power. It can also deliver a charge even when it is not plugged into the wall, thanks to its built-in rechargeable 2,000 mAh lithium-ion battery pack. A ruggedized coating for durability and an included 30-pin Apple sync-and charge cable makes PowerBlock Reserve the ideal travel companion for iPod and iPhone.

PowerBlock Reserve Universal is similar in power and form factor, but is designed to quickly charge any USB device. Both PowerBlock Reserve models charge their own batteries at the same time they’re charging connected devices. A row of LEDs serve as a fuel gauge, indicating how much charge is left.

PowerBlock & PowerBlock Dual Universal

Another newly-refreshed member of the PowerBlock series is the ultra compact PowerBlock, an easy-to-carry wall charger for all kinds of USB devices, including iPhone, iPad, and iPod. PowerBlock puts out 10 watts of charging power for fast, safe charging on the go, and includes a detachable Apple dock cable. Other devices can plug their own cables into PowerBlock’s standard USB port.

PowerBlock Dual Universal is another new portable power option for charging two USB devices simultaneously. Two industry-standard Type-A USB ports each deliver up to 5 watts of power.

Gosh, it seems like just the other day that iLounge first reviewed our PowerBlock and PowerJolt Reserve. The AC and car charger and rechargeable iPhone and iPod backup battery has become a very popular product.

iLounge’s Jeremy Horwitz wrote, “…they’re great little packages with sharp-looking, well-made parts.” He added, “They’re worthy of our high recommendation…”

We’ve conveniently combined both products in one package called PowerDuo Reserve. Heck, we even have extra battery packs if you like.

iLounge’s Car Accessory of the Year!

We’re so happy to see PowerJolt has been selected as iLounge’s Car Accessory of the Year!

The good folks over at iLounge gave us an A- and wrote a fantastic review of our new Reserve line, PowerBlock Reserve, PowerJolt Reserve, and PowerDuo Reserve. We love A’s!

The concept is simple: buy a standard charger, get a Dock Connector-equipped, charger-fitting rechargeable battery in the same package, and charge both your iPod and the battery at the same time. If you don’t finish charging your device and need a little extra juice, pull off the battery and carry it around; otherwise, leave it connected so that it will stay topped off.
