Belkin launches portable and wireless power to keep you charged

Belkin have today announced two new charging products for the Australian market – one for Samsung fans and one for power users on the go.

The “Boost Up” Wireless Charging Pad uses the Qi standard of charging making it compatible with most Samsung phones from the last two years and comes ready to go.

Perfect for the bedside table you’ll never need to plug your phone in again – just place it on the Boost Up pad and you’re charging.

You’ll find this for $109.95 at JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys and Myer across Australia.

If battery anxiety is your issue worry no more, the Belkin Mixit Power RockStar is a 10,000mAh portable battery.

With 2 USB ports it will charge two devices if you need, but save all the power for yourself and you’ll get several full charges of your device.

In the box you get a lightning cable, and a MicroUSB cable with one of them able to be stored inside the actual device so you never lose it.

I took one of these to CES earlier in the year, and it’s ideal for days of recharging, my only feedback is that you have to keep the second cable in your bag to charge the brick back up if you’re an iPhone user.

Great value portable power at $119.95, also available at JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys and Myer across Australia.
