There has been a flood of innovative, crowd-funded campaigns for portable powerbanks. Chargestand is yet another portable powerbank which comes with a whole lot of new nifty features others miss. Not only can it conveniently charge and sync your device, it also has a built in 3000 mAh battery, resulting in a convenient combination of phone stand and a travel battery. ChargeStand comes with lightening, micro-USB and USB-C tips that will work with both Apple and Android devices.

It would sound impossible if someone claims to have a technology which can instantly tap more energy from dead/discarded batteries and extending their life by up to 8x. A new crowd-funded project claims to do exactly that and has already gone funded 777% on Indiegogo, Batteriser is a micro-thin, stainless steel sleeve that extends your battery's life by up to 8x. The already patented technology extends the life of batteries and taps into the 80% that was previously unused. Batterisers are reusable on new and most “used” batteries and will be available in AA, AAA, C, & D. Sounds too good to be true, just have a look at various scientific tests done in videos shared below to believe it for yourself.

Batteriser is an intelligent voltage management and delivery mechanism device made of thin stainless steel that slips over your battery and fits neatly back into your device's battery compartment.

Significant number of batteries thrown away still has a lot of energy left in them. Using proprietary circuitry to maintain an optimal output voltage, Batteriser allows the end device to access the untapped energy in the battery and makes it last longer.

We have written about the world's fastest charging battery StoreDot a few months ago, earlier the Israeli startup demoed their product charging a Samsung smartphone to it's full-capacity in under a minute. Back then the size of the battery and charger were bottleneck for daily use, the company has now came over that limitation and have presented a much slimmer version of the technology at CES 2015.

While our electronic gadgets are evolving by the day, a common bottleneck faced is the outdated battery technology. Luckily, quite a few technological researches looks promising for the future battery technology - be it the COTA Wireless charging, the superfast NanoDot Smartphone Charger (Recharges in 30 seconds) or the all new ultra-fast charging batteries that last 20 years from Scientists at Nanyang Technology University (NTU).

The new lithium ion batteries can reach a 70% charge in two minutes and last for over 20 years. The change that did the trick was using titanium dioxide nanotubes for the anode (the negative pole) instead of conventional graphite which speeds up the battery's chemical reactions while offering 10,000 charging cycles instead of the usual 500. Since the mini titanium tubes are both easy to make and relatively inexpensive, the technology should not be far away from consumer usage.

Few days ago we shared the promising LithiumCard Indiegogo campaign which is now successfully funded, we now have something which seems better then that - don't forget to checkout the comparison chart shared ahead.

XS PowerCard is the name of the new portable charger which needs your support to become a consumer product, the small card is small enough to fit into your wallet but comes with features which puts every other power-bank to shame. The $34 portable charger comes with 2200mAh of juice, supports 8/16/32GB detachable data-storage, allows data transfer, has built-in cables (1 ft long) and fits into a credit-card slot inside your wallet.

There has been some exciting new developments in the battery technology which powers our mobile life today, the promising COTA Wireless charging and the super-thin LithiumCard portable battery pack are some such examples. While exciting they do not address the biggest hassle of using a battery - the long recharging time, but soon this is going to be taken care of thanks to the new "Nano Technology" powered smartphone battery which recharges in 30 seconds.

Based on the StoreDot Nanodot, the first bio-organic nano crystal ever discovered which are only 2 nanometers bio-organic peptide molecules in size, the batteries derived from these NanoDots are not only bio-organic but due to their size, have both increased electrode capacitance and electrolyte performance, resulting in batteries that can be fully charged in minutes rather than hours. The company has already released a public video demonstrating this ground-breaking development, showing a smartphone battery getting fully-recharged in 30 seconds flat.

There are a lot of battery packs and portable "power banks" retailing for cheap allowing users to recharge their mobile gadgets on-the-go, however brand new LithiumCard is the future of HyperCharging that is available right-now at affordable prices during their crowd-finding campaign at indiegogo.

This awesome must-have utility for mobile gadget users comes in a slim and sleek design with multiple trendy color options, is only 5 credit cards thick, has all the cables you ever need to charge your gadgets (micro-USB and Apple Lightning), generates the power of a wall charger using HyperFET drive technology which outputs over 2 Amps of fast and safe energy, can charge two devices at the same time, is tough enough to hold device weights on it's cables without any damage and can also stick to back of your gadgets using it's NanoStik technology.
