“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 34 – A Technocel PowerPak

January 28, 2010 by Dr. Macenstein
Filed under: Awesomeness, Free Stuff, contests 

This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Ronny.

On the Thirty-Fourth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Technocel PowerPak!

PORTABLE BATTERY AND HOME CHARGER IN ONE UNIT
This ultimate universal charging solution combines a backup rechargeable battery pack with a rapid home charger. Providing the extra juice when you need it, the PowerPak will recharge your handheld device at the same time as it recharges itself via the wall outlet. If you’re a frequent or long talker who constantly runs out of battery in the middle of the conversation, the PowerPak was designed for you, providing up to 3 hours of extra talk time. For those who are eco conscious, this solution meets Energy Star requirements by drawing very minimal power from the wall outlet when no additional power is needed. The easy to read, LED indicator lights reveal the remaining capacity of the PowerPak battery reserve with the press of a button. Interchangeable tips included in the packaging provide compatibility for 95% of all handheld USB devices. The PowerPak is also compatible with any other USB cable that might have been provided with your wireless device.

To enter: For gadget geeks like myself, there’s a certain comfort that comes from having a little extra power with you. And speaking of power, we’d like to know, if you had the power to switch lives with any person on the planet, who would it be and why? Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to ALL READERS WORLD-WIDE. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
