Patch-Style Smartphone Power Packs

The Conceptual 'Battery Pods' Offer Small Boosts to Power

— January 11, 2022 — Tech
The conceptual 'Battery Pods' have been designed by the PS Design Studio as a mobile power solution that takes a different kind of approach to providing much-needed charging capabilities when out of the house. The smartphone charging system consists of seven 1,200mAh patch-like batteries that can be simply connected onto the rear of the smartphone to provide a quick boost to power levels. Each of the patches are kept stowed in an accompanying storage case that is slim and compact to make it easy to keep on hand.

The conceptual 'Battery Pods' take a decidedly more clever approach to smartphone charging and would provide users a total of 30-hours of additional usage without ever having to search for a nearby outlet.
