Reusable Emergency Mobile Power Extends Talk Time on Mobile Phones by 16 Hours

Online, March 4, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Tustin, CA⎯Tekkeon has expanded its mobile power product family to include TekCharge™ MP1800, a reusable emergency power source to charge and power mobile phones and many other popular portable devices. This tiny, lightweight device is a rechargeable lithium ion battery that will extend the talk time on mobile phones up to 16 hours. TekCharge includes a voltage regulator so it won't harm the connected device or its battery

TekCharge connects to a device in two ways: via an adapter that mates with the power port, and using the USB device cable, bypassing the need for an extra adapter. Seven adapters for popular mobile phones are included with TekCharge, with many others available from Tekkeon.

"Like our popular myPower ALL line of external laptop batteries/chargers, TekCharge MP1800 is universal so it can be used with different types of devices, from different manufacturers," says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon, Inc. "That means that one external battery can be carried to power and charge mobile phones, iPhone, iPod, Zune®, MP3 players, portable CD players, and Bluetooth headsets, just to name a few."

TekCharge offers visual indicators that provide the battery capacity. As an added bonus, a small flashlight provides emergency light.

TekCharge comes with a handy tote, plus eight adapter tips for connection to:
• Blackberry (mini USB)
• LG mobile phones
• Motorola mobile phones (mini USB and Micro USB)
• Nokia mobile phones
• Samsung mobile phones
• Sony Ericsson mobile phones

Using the device USB cable eliminates the need for a specific adapter; however, additional adapters are available from the Tekkeon store for devices with a USB cable. The MSRP for TekCharge MP1800 is $44.95. Tekkeon products are available through retail and major on-line stores, and from the Tekkeon store at www.tekkeon.com. TekCharge MP1800 comes with a one-year limited warranty.
