Sanyo Component Europe is expanding its eneloop product range with Mobile Booster, three modernly designed reserve batteries for mobile devices such as MP3 players and portable games consoles. Once charged through a computer’s USB port or a wall socket, the Mobile Booster’s nickel-metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries bridge power shortages in mobile devices. While travelling or outdoors, the white Mobile Boosters provide emergency power when mobile-device batteries are exhausted and no socket is available. The three versions of eneloop Mobile Booster, each including a USB mini cable, have been available from retailers since the end of March for €29.90 for the KBC-E1S, €34.90 for the KBC-L3S and €39.90 for the KBC-L2S, including VAT at the recommended retail price.
