Shake-To-Wake With Astro3 portable Battery Pack That Could Charge Up Three Smartphones, Six Or Seven Times

Astro3 portable Battery Pack Could Charge Up Three Smartphones, Six Or Seven Times

It feels annoying when your smartphone battery is going to die and you have to check your mails, make some urgent calls but there is no power source for charging your device. Now, a company, Anker has found a solution to this problem by releasing a pocket-friendly backup battery pack, The Astro3 , with enough juice to charge up most modern phones six or seven times before needing a refill. The Astro3 sports three USB output ports, one of which can auto-identify the connected device and charge it at its full speed.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Capacity:               12000mAh
  • Output:                  Total 4A
  • Input:                     5V / 1.5A
  • Weight:                  10.6 ounces (300 g)
  • Size:                       4.4 x 3.3 x 1 inches (111 x 86 x 26 mm)
  • Energy efficiency:    80 percent
There are no buttons, sliders, knobs or switches to spoil its lines. Instead, the Astro3 is activated with a quick shake. This either starts a dump charge to a connected device or displays how much juice the external battery pack has left courtesy of a circular LED status indicator.

A micro-USB input for charging its own grade A cells sits on top, along with three full-size USB 2.0 output ports. The Astro3 can simultaneously charge three mobile devices, so long as they're not all iPads (the total output across the three ports does not exceed 4 A).

Two of the ports are described as max speed universal ports that are reported capable of charging most devices up to 1.5 A. The third provides full-speed charges up to 2.4 A, using smart chip technology to detect the USB pin signals and identify the device, then auto-adjusting the output to suit.

Though the universal ports feature custom circuitry designed to charge Android phones at full speed, an iPhone will only charge at 0.5 A, so you'll need to make sure the smart port is available if you want your prized Apple smartphone to receive a fast top up. When the Astro3 has finished topping up your smartphone or tablet, it will automatically turn itself off.


It is compatible with all Apple and Android smartphones, tablets and other USB charged devices with a 5V charge input but the iPod nano and some GPS and Bluetooth devices are not supported.

The Astro3 ships with a micro USB cable and a 30-pin connector. It has a list price of US$99.99 in United States, but is available now on Amazon for US$49.99 and has a list price of £99.99 in United Kingdom, but is available now on Amazon for £35.99.
