One of the problems with many power banks is that they require their own power cable in order to be charged which can complicate the process for users, so the new Mophie Powerstation devices have been created to change this. Featuring an integrated Apple Lightning connector port, the batteries can be charged with your existing smartphone cable to only require users to carry a singular wire with them when out of the house or office.
The Mophie Powerstation power banks come in several different options including the 'Plus,' 'XL,' 'Plus XL' and the 'XXL,' which all provide portable access to energy as required. The 'Plus XL' is also compatible for recharging with Qi-enabled charging pads to ensure it's simple to power up between uses.
