14 DAY TRIAL // Whether you need some battery juice for your MacBook Pro, or you're looking for ways to store your charger, here are the latest solutions for your problems.
First, we have found a way to keep your MacBook Pro AC power adapter plug close to your charger even when you are not using it. This little toy is called Duck Head Saver and you can get it for just $9.99 (€7.58). This little 3D-printed gadget sticks to your power bar and keeps the plug head in place when not in use.
Moving on to batteries, you know how useful an external power bar for your iPhone may prove. Did you know that you can buy a bigger one to help you with your MacBook Pro? The guys over at Hongkiat.com made a list of some of the most interesting products to power your Mac laptop on the go.
First one up is the GreatShield LuminousPower External Battery Pack. Going over the hilarious long name of the product, it promises 500 charge cycles so it should last for about half of the life of your MacBook Pro battery. This device comes with a 7800mAh capacity battery and it features a built-in circuit to prevent your Mac from overheating or overcharging.
Up next we have a huge battery that can power your MacBook pro for days. This device comes with a 52,800mAh battery pack and it can power your laptop and two iPads at the same time, all for the price of $450 (€341).
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, make sure to check out Lizone. This $200 (€151.79) outputs 15-24 volts and it lasts for days, as well. A much slimmer and more elegant alternative is the 12/16/19-100 battery pack.
The ChugPlug was described as the perfect companion for your MacBook Air. You can attach your regular charger to it and get some extra juice for the 45 and 65-watt MagSafe Power Adapters.
The Energizer XP18000 Universal AV Adapter can extend the battery life of a MacBook pro by 100 percent. You can get an extra 6 hours of battery depending on the software used on the computer in those hours. The device is more compact than others, but it has an inferior battery.
The last device we're looking at is the Hyperjuice 2. This comes with a much nicer design and, what is more important, an upgradeable battery cell. When you use it for a year and you feel it is time to get a new one, just replace it and the charger will behave like a new one. Depending on the battery capacity, this charger can be yours for $300 – $400 (€227 – €303).
