Ascent Solar Technologies Inc of Thornton, CO, USA, a maker of copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic modules, which it integrates into its EnerPlex series of consumer products, has released the Jumpr Stack (part of the firm's EnerPlexJumpr line of portable batteries).
Jumpr Stack is offered in a family pack of three 1600mAh batteries with a master power base. Each battery has the footprint of a standard credit card and is no thicker than a standard USB port. Jumpr Stack batteries are capable of boosting uptime for most smartphones by 50-80%, and they can be charged by simply stacking the batteries on top of each other, without the need of any cable connection while resting on the master power base.
"The Jumpr Stack's revolutionary magnetic and cordless charging capability makes the product perfect for family members to easily take them with them while on the go," says Ascent Solar's manager of Branding & Marketing, Justin Jacobs. "Unlike other batteries, the Jumpr Stack enables consumers to take exactly the right amount of power with them, rather than carrying more capacity than they actually need."
