New Addition: EnergyBar 250

It certainly has been a wild ride so far with the launch of our SunSocket Solar Generator back in April 2013.  Our infomercial received an unexpected amount of recognition and ended up getting blogged on some tech websites like Gizmodo and Gizmag.  It also got some attention on Treehugger and RedFerret.  Or maybe this attention was indeed expected since the video was so ridiculous.  You can see it here:
 
Since then we have been back in our labs working on our next product which is the EnergyBar 250.  The demand for this product has been quite positive, especially now and we haven't even released it yet.  You can pre-order it online for a massive discount and be one of the first to own one, but lets talk a bit more about the specifics of this product.  The EnergyBar 250 is a lightweight, slim, high capacity portable battery pack. By high capacity I mean it is a 20Ah battery, or in other words, a 256Wh battery.  That's enough energy to keep your laptop powered for 4-5 hours depending on what kind of laptop you have.  The great thing about the EnergyBar 250 is that it really isn't just for laptops.  It has an AC inverter which allows you to power virtually any portable electronic device, a 12V DC cigarette lighter socket for those odd devices that you usually charge in your car, and then 4 high speed USB outputs that allow you to charge 4 tablets at the same time.  Great for tailgating, outdoor gatherings, picnics, camping or even working whether you want to take your office to the beach for the day, or work outside of a cafe.  Funny enough, I was at Starbucks last week and it was packed!  No tables available inside anywhere near an outlet and I was actually looking for a place to work for the day.  The EnergyBar has also been well received by the aviation and sailing markets.



So what makes this product stand out?  For one thing, the high capacity battery is NOT Lithium Polymer which is what you will find in every small backup charger, and at high capacity size, those types of batteries would basically be forbidden by any airline security and you would be forced to toss our your expensive charger or go home and come back.  The EnergyBar 250 is truly designed for versatility and multiple capabilities, and uses an advanced battery technology known as Lithium Iron Phosphate aka LiFePO4.  Not only is this battery lightweight and ultra thin for storage, it actually has a lifespan longer than any other type of battery available on the market.  It's not a deep cycle battery like the ones you find in your car, which need to be changed after a few years.  Even the Lithium Polymer needs to be changed after a few years.  Think back to all those times you have to get a new battery for your laptop or phone because it dies.  The LiFePO4 battery in the EnergyBar 250 actually has a 10 year life span, and a self-discharge rate of less than 2% per month which means you can charge it and then leave it in your closet and forget about it for a year and it will still be charged!  Another neat thing about the EnergyBar 250 is that it can be daisy chained either to multiple EnergyBars, or to a SunSocket Solar Generator, or to a wall outlet to charge multiple simultaneously.  You can pre-order the EnergyBar 250 now for $100 off.  We're producing a limited supply so jump on it now!   Pre-orders only at http://www.aspectsolar.com.
