Carrying around a plethora of accessories can prove to be a pain for anyone. It is especially more so for a professional who is required to travel extensively. And forget for a moment about a touring professional. Even for an intrepid traveler touring the globe, keeping all the gadgets charged, particularly in foreign countries with different specifications regarding voltage and plugs, can be a difficult proposition. This is where the PowerGorilla Portable Laptop Charger comes in handy. It’s a one-stop solution to all charging problems, anywhere in the world. In a nutshell, PowerGorilla is a high-capacity but sleek battery that can simultaneously charge two gadgets and — hold your breath — in over 150 countries globally.

PowerGorilla comes with a full set of adapters that can plug and play any gadget that’s powered by battery that includes video cameras, cellphones, iPods/iPhones, DVD players, Sat Navs and many more. The only thing that probably limits the PowerGorilla is that it can’t charge any device beyond 24 volts. But that is more than offset by the fact that on the road, the gadget doubles up as a power hub and as an added advantage, can be used to charge other devices while being charged from the mains.

PowerGorilla can keep a laptop going for six hours and for other gadgets which consume les power, it can turbo-charge those for well up to twenty hours. The six-pack includes overcharge and overheat protections, a slim LCD display to blink status and voltage information, surge buster and a set of AC adapters that can be used in 150 countries. There are fixed voltages spanning from 5v to 24v and the whole set weighs less than 1.5 pounds, making it truly portable and easy to carry.

But even if this seems like a weight to lug around, then one can go for solio magnesium, a universal hybrid solar charger for every gadget under the sun. The solio comes with a battery which provides instant backup power. One of the most advanced hybrid chargers in the world, the key advantage of this battery is that it can be powered by either the sun light or even via a wall socket. This dual function makes the solio an extremely flexible device that’s fit for regular use in any part of the world. Covered in a robust and attractive magnesium-alloy case, the solio boasts of three pivoting arms that are fitted with photovoltaic panels. And unlike most other solar charged batteries, solio has high-capacity battery that, like the PowerGorilla, will ensure that a traveler’s gadgets are charged throughout the day.

What’s more, this hybrid charger has the capacity to connect and charge any device that is USB connector compatible and is in sync with iGo Adapter Tips which have more or less all the proprietary plugs covered. The pack also contains a female USB adapter which is just the thing for iPod and iPhone, 5 x iGo connectors for Motorola, LG, Nokia, Samsung and Blackberry handsets, a hemp pouch as well as a Universal wall adapter kit.
