The conceptual 'Share the Power' power bank is a splittable power solution for users who are looking for a way to keep their essential technology products powered up throughout the day for themselves and those around them. The product consists of the pill-shaped unit that can be powered up via USB-C and features LEDs on the lower section near the connectivity port to help users keep track of power levels. The unit can be used on its own by a single user, but is capable of being split in two to provide charging for a friend, colleague or family member for enhanced connectivity capabilities.
The conceptual 'Share the Power' power bank is the design work of Rudolph Schelling Webermann and features built-in connectivity cables to expedite the charging capability of the unit(s).
