14 DAY TRIAL // Mophie has announced earlier today the availability of its next generation of external portable batteries including the reserve, boost and powerstation, designed to be used with the Apple iPhone and iPad.
Compared to their predecessors, these Mophie accessories feature some new design elements as well as increased battery capacities.
Starting with the most basic of the three units announced today, the reserve, this includes a 700mAh battery, packed inside a device small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and is capable of charging all the version of the iPad and iPhone via a hideaway 30-pin connector.
Its older brother, the boost, increases the battery capacity from 700mAh to an impressive 2000mAh, which means that it provides enough power to charge an iPhone to 100 percent.
This time power is delivered via a pivoting connector-hinge that also enables the charger to act as a viewing stand while the phone is connected to it.
Finally, the third power pack to be introduced today is called the powerstation and is the most powerful of the three batteries, boasting a capacity of 4000mAh.
Compared to its smaller siblings, this is able to output as much as 2.1A (can also work in 500mAh and 1A modes) and can recharge all generations of the iPad, iPhone and iPod as well as a wide variety of USB-enabled devices.
"The juice pack reserve, boost and powerstation deliver a range of recharging solutions to mobile device users who need additional battery power but don't have the time or opportunity to plug into a wall or their laptop," said Ross Howe, senior director of product marketing, mophie.
"The first universal batteries were incredibly well received and we evolved the line to help consumer's get the very most from their iOS devices at all times with easy and convenient portable power solutions," concluded the company's rep.
All members of the juice pack universal line are now available in Apple stores and on the company's website.
Pricing starts at $34.95 (25.5 Euro) for the mophie reserve, while the boost and powerstation retail for $49.95 and $79.95 (36.5 and 58 Euro), respectively.
