Power Monkey
The Power Monkey is a clever idea that can be a real life saver. It comes with a little bag of adapters that fit most devices and charges from its own wall plug. The smooth exterior hides a battery that holds a powerful charge and some intelligent electronics to help avoid damaging the devices plugged into it. When out on the road, it can be handy in several situations:
- Forgotten charger - the Power Monkey can be a surrogate charger if you forget to put a particular one in the bag, or did not realize the lighter plug was broken when you rented the car.
- World Converter - although getting increasingly rare, there are still some chargers out there that won’t work in all the various world voltages, while the Power Monkey charger can still be used.
- Extend travel life during long flights - that 18 hour flight to Johannesburg can put a real crimp in even a beefed up IPod battery (another story) and the Power Monkey can give you that extra charge.
The Power Traveler company has also released some other products which we have not had a chance to play with yet, but the compact Power Monkey has a permanent slot in our travel bags from now on.
