# Beacon-Enabled Battery Packs The Nomad PowerPack is Virtually Impossible to Lose By Joey Haar | Published 2016-12-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-powerpack References: [digitaltrends](http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/nomad-powerpack-tile-news/) & [hellonomad](https://www.hellonomad.com/products/powerpack) The Nomad PowerPack is an external device charger that solves one of the few problems that such a device might have. External battery packs are a great way for heavy phone users to recharge midway through the day and save themselves from hours of a dead device, but those packs are only effective if you have one around. The Nomad PowerPack comes stock with Tile's beacon technology to make it virtually impossible to misplace or forget at the start of a day. Remembering to grab even just one's smartphone before heading out for the day can be difficult, and adding another device like a battery pack only adds to the chance of forgetting or misplacing it. The PowerPack connects to the Tile app in seconds and will then show up prominently on the built in map whenever users open it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Beacon-enabled Battery Packs:** The inclusion of beacon technology in battery packs is changing the game in terms of device portability and security. - **External Battery Pack Integration:** The integration of battery packs into everyday items is creating new opportunities for businesses to offer practical and convenient solutions to consumers. - **Smartphone Accessory Market:** As smartphone users become more reliant on their devices, there is increasing demand for accessories such as battery packs that incorporate technologies to enhance device usage and security. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The incorporation of beacon technology in battery packs is transforming the consumer electronics industry by offering a practical way for users to always have a reliable power source. - **Mobile Accessories:** The integration of battery packs into everyday items, such as key chains or wallets, presents an opportunity for mobile accessory industry players to offer unique value and convenience to consumers. - **App Development:** The incorporation of beacon technology in battery packs also creates new opportunities for app developers to offer enhanced security and usability to users, with potential applications across various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Discreet Card-Sized Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-tracking-card.md) - [High-Power Item Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icetag.md) - [Ultra-Slim Wallet Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tracking-card-pro.md) - [Wearable Aluminum Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anypower-battery-pack.md) - [Trackable Magnetic Smartphone Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-leather-mag-wallet.md) - [Battery-Boosting Tracker Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevation-lab-timecapsule.md) - [Style-Conscious Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebones-power-bank.md) - [Durable Outdoor Power Banks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carabiner-battery.md) - [Sleek Modern Trackable Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tracking-card.md)
