Ascent Solar Technologies Inc of Thornton, CO, USA, which makes lightweight, flexible copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic modules that it integrates into its EnerPlex series of consumer products, has announced availability of its EnerPlex Jumpr Slate at company-owned kiosks, as well as online.

At less than 7mm thick, the EnerPlex Jumpr Slate is claimed to be the thinnest large-format power bank available on the market. Also, with a capacity of 10,000mAh, it can re-charge smartphones such as the iPhone 5 up to 5 times, freeing consumers from being tethered to the outlet. Equipped with dual 2.4 Amp outputs, the Jumpr Slate can simultaneously charge tablets and e-readers, such as the iPad.
"The Jumpr Slate 10k exemplifies the ingenuity and creativeness of the EnerPlex brand; the Slate's combination of power, thinness and weight provides a truly unique product proposition for those consumers who do not want to be burdened by thick and heavy traditional power banks," says Justin R. Jacobs, Ascent's manager of brand development.
