Click here to view the embedded video.

Here is a quick video unboxing for the Griffin PowerDuo Reserve that I shot tonight. It was recorded using my iPhone 3GS and the iPhone you see in the video is a borrowed iPhone 3G that I used for the video. I picked this up on sale at Best Buy for $49.99 however it retails for $59.99. Keep an eye out for the review some time this week (school and work schedules permitting of course) as I put this battery system through its paces. I have been very satisfied with Griffin’s products in the past and hopefully the PowerDuo is just as good. After the break is simply a quick personal disclosure so feel free to skip unless you are into that kind of thing.

Griffin PowerBlock Reserve: It’s About Time!

Adam Wyss — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:43:51 +0000

Last night I was going through Google Reader and I found something on Gizmodo that made me think “It’s about freaking time somebody came up with this!” That product is the Griffin PowerBlock Reserve. Like most 3rd party chargers it features a USB port that allows you to plug in your iPhone or iPod USB cable and charge your iDevice. However the genius behind this charger from Griffin is that it also integrates a backup battery into the charger. Honestly there are so many 3rd party chargers and backup batteries that it was simply a matter of time before somebody merged the 2 together into one product and a company like Griffin is a great one to do it as it looks like they will have a winner on their hands here. The PowerBlock is a standard AC wall charger and there is also a DC version for your car called the PowerJolt Reserve which will both run for $39.99 each. You can also pick up the 2 together in a bundle called the PowerDuo Reserve which will run for $59.99. As of this writing the PowerDuo and PowerJolt packages were listed as Backordered on Griffin’s website and the PowerBlock was listed as Coming Soon however the press release says that they are shipping immediately.

PowerBlock Reserve – $39.99
PowerJolt Reserve – $39.99
PowerDuo Reserve – $59.99

All 3 are available for sale now at the Apple Store and will be available soon at Griffin’s website and other national retail stores.

Happy Earth Day From Boston-Power!

Jack Cook — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:51:41 +0000

Last month, Boston-Power announced that HP made available its new brand of eco-certified notebook PC batteries – the Enviro Series – based on Boston-Power’s next-generation Lithium-ion technology, Sonata. This marks the first time a U.S.-based battery company has ever sold battery technology to a notebook PC provider. The Enviro Series battery is compatible with more than 70 percent of HP’s consumer notebook models. As the world’s top provider of notebook PCs, that’s a very large PC user community!

Boston-Power is equally excited that HP is featuring the Enviro Series battery in its Earth Day promotion – providing customers with a great discounted price of $119.99. Information about the promotion can be found here. This makes it even easier for people to experience the great benefits of Sonata such as long life, the industry’s longest warranty (three years) and reduced environmental impact.

Clean Technology from Boston-Power

Jack Cook — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:59:42 +0000

Today I had the opportunity to hear a presentation from Dr. Cristina Lampe-Onnerud from Boston Power. She has pioneered the use of lithium-ion and other materials to deliver more powerful, longer lasting, safer and cost-effective batteries for laptops, PDAs, cell phones and other electronic devices.

During her presentation, she shared her thoughts and encouraged a dialog about where battery technology stands today, where it needs to be tomorrow and what the future holds. Simply stated, she was dynamic in her presentation and created a positive look into the future of batteries that we will be using.
