Lilliputian Systems’ Nectar Power system is a unique, portable battery charger that uses fuel cartridges to charge Android smartphones, Windows Phones, the iPhone & iPad, tablets, MP3 players, cameras and more. That translates to not having to charge phones or traditional lithium battery-based portable power packs through cables before getting enough juice to get through the day. The Nectar device itself does not need to be plugged into a wall outlet, as it’s basically self-sufficient in activating the energy in each fuel pod. Simply pop in a single power pod, plug the USB cable to your handset, and then enjoy the benefits of mobile power through multiple charges until the pod is depleted – after which you can swap it out for a new pod.
Each pod contains 55,000 mW-hours of energy and fully charges the average smartphone up to 10 times, which is good for about 2 weeks of battery life. It’s essentially like having a wall outlet in your pocket! Consumers can pre-order the plug-less Nectar Mobile Power System from Brookstone.com now for $299.99 (extra pods cost $10 each). The release date appears to be set for July 5, 2013. Check out our hands-on demo from the 2013 International CES above and learn more about the system via the information posted below.
