Why did we design a power bank?

 

 

Like most of you, I use my phone far more than my laptop or desktop computer. But I was always running out of juice at critical times during the day. 

I checked out over 100 types of power bank phone chargers and found most were bulky, required separate charging cables, and were hard to hold. None had all the features I was looking for to charge my phone quickly.

Years of marketing research revealed that I wasn’t the only one seeking the same features. 

The proverbial wheels began to turn, and I decided to build my own power bank. I partnered with a renowned consumer electronics design company, PHD Energy, out of Austin, and created a high-quality, lightweight power bank with built-in charging cables (so you can’t lose them!).​

The result is the +[iCharge-it!]- power bank. 

This portable phone charger has all the features consumers were asking for, plus it magnetically attaches to the back of phone/phone cases and tables. 

So what? It magnetically attaches to a phone. There are power banks out there like that. Our answer is “not like ours,” and here’s why.

The +[iCharge-it!]- power bank has a magnetic hand-finished art charm. To date, 18 different charms are available. 

We honor our planet and wildlife with uniquely designed charms created by local artists like baby turtles and pandas. There are also basketball charms, surfer charms, and alien charms, and red dragon charms. Check ‘em out.

But don’t let the gorgeous charms belay how the +[iCharge-it!]- power bank performs. The power bank charges phones fast. How fast? It depends on the phone. 

For example, it will charge an iPhone 8 from dead battery to 60% in 30 minutes. And we do it safely. The power bank doesn’t get warm and can be recharged over 500 times using a standard micro USB cable. 

And it does that quickly too. 

Dead to 100% in a couple of hours using a standard USB wall charger. It has a rugged hard shell and, with proper care, will last years. I’m still using the prototypes well into the fourth year, and it’s working great.

Since we’re ready to broadly introduce the +[iCharge-it!]- power in volume, we’re happy to share a discount code ICHRG10, a $10 coupon you can use at checkout. Shipping is free. 

To date, we’ve sold hundreds with zero issues or returns.

And if there's an issue with the product, we will replace it at no cost under warranty.
