The BatteryBox is a must-have computer accessory for anyone who requires his computer while away from home. Remote and mobile workers, those who take frequent business trips, and those who simply cannot part with their laptops while on getaways will be delighted by the portability and the power of this efficient device.

Made by Gbatteries, this product has length and width dimensions that are little more than those of a credit card. It weights 250 grams, can be slipped easily into a backpack or a carry-on suitcase and it has the capacity of 50Whr and 12,000 mAh. The BatteryBox charger can juice up any device with a USB hookup and any MacBook with MagSafe2. It can fully revive eight [iPhones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuxiu-k1) in one go and offer 12 hours of [MacBook Air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30w-power-adapter) usage in an otherwise electricity-free zone.
