We live in a mobile world, and one of the worst nightmares we might have is that of running out of battery exactly when we need our trusty handheld the most. As you already know, there are all sorts of mobile chargers available on the market, but today I'll show you yet another one, the funniest I've come across lately, namely the PowerMonkey from Powertraveller.

Why is it so funny? Well, maybe because the name fits the design perfectly, as the PowerMonkey looks very much like a banana, even if a hi-tech one. But, despite the looks, this device will help prevent you from going bananas whenever the battery of one of your favorite handhelds is about to run out, as the fully-charged PowerMonkey is capable of providing up to 96 hours standby on your mobile phone, 40 hours on your iPod, 6 hours on your Sony PSP, 2 full charges on your PDA and so on. Moreover, the Power Monkey doesn't require frequent charges, since the device is capable of holding its charge without leakage for up to a year.

Here are some of the most important features and characteristics the Power Monkey has to offer:

- dimensions: 8,8 mm x 38 mm x 37 mm;
- weight: 70 grams;
- color: silver;
- capacity: 2200 mAh;
- input voltage: 5V, 500mA;
- output voltage: 4.5 - 5.5 V;
- output max current: 1.2 A;
- the mains travel charger works in up to 150 countries;
- compatible with most brands of mobile phones and devices;
- comes with adapters for the most important types of handheld devices available on the market.

The PowerMonkey is available for around 52 Euro, which is not that big a price, considering just how versatile the device is and all the advantages it offers.
