Power on the go
you can count on
Welcome to Wireless Charging
Welcome to Duracell Powermat, the smart, easy way to keep your mobile devices charged. Our mission is to end your battery woes and unlock your phone and mobile device’s true potential with portable power and wireless charging.Sometimes it’s hard to keep your phone charged throughout the day. With phone calls, text messages, picture taking, social media updating, and more, the life of your battery can drain very quickly. The last thing you need is for your battery to run out while you’re at the store or running around town, inhibiting you from using that great coupon or from checking up on your kids. At Duracell Powermat, we have a solution for that!

| Powermat |
The Powermat is a new technology that allows wireless charging by placing your mobile device, or tablet, on a small mat, all you need is the Access Case and the mat.

| Access Case |
Powermat also offers a backup battery that clips directly onto the back of your Powermat Access Case on your phone and provides an extended battery life when you’re on-the-go and without a charger or electrical outlet. This backup battery can also be charged by placing it onto the Powermat and is very useful because it is not too bulky and you do not need to have it on your phone at all times, only when you really need it.

There are also a few other extended batteries that can be used for USB devices but require a small cable to use and charge, but once charged can last for days and days. These batteries are powerful enough to charge both your phone and tablet. The extended batteries include:
This product is primarily for making sure that you do not run out of power in times when you most need it. We are also in the process of installing Powermats into a growing number of public places including Starbucks, McDonalds, and Madison Square Garden so soon enough you’ll be able to pop in to your local Starbucks, place your phone on a mat installed directly into the counter or table, and recharge your phone as you recharge with a cup of coffee!

Our Thoughts
Duracell Powermat sent us the Powermat for Two Devices, GoPower Day Trip compact portable battery, Long Haul backup battery, and the PowerSnap Kit to review. Both my husband and I have iPhones and he has an iPad, all of which see a lot of use. We are new to the world of smartphones, just upgraded to them this fall. It was eye-opening to see just how much battery life these mobile devices eat! With my old non-smart phone, I think I charged it *maybe* once per week. Now I was charging once per day, sometimes twice per day! I use my new smartphone for my business, and I certainly don't want to be tied to an outlet when I need my phone on the go!
The GoPower Day Trip portable battery is nice and small, I keep it in my purse. It provides up to 1 full phone charge, which is really nice when I'm on the go around town! I can have my phone plugged into it in my purse, and let it charge right while I run errands, and I still have my phone available to me when I need it. The GoPower Day Trip can easily be recharged by setting it on the Powermat, as well as conventional methods.
The Long Haul backup battery is going to be perfect for our trips to the cabin! It's good for up to 4 phone charges and has two ports, so you can charge 2 devices at a time, great for both our phones, or a phone and the iPad. We have limited solar electricity up there, so anything that lightens our electrical load helps out a lot! Solar is of course, is dependent on it being sunny, and there have certainly been vacations where it's been cloudy/rainy almost the entire time so then we have to be really conservative, because our solar batteries don't recharge as fast. The Long Haul backup battery can also easily be recharged by setting it on the Powermat, as well as conventional methods.
My husband has been using the Power Snap Kit. His phone is used for work as well, and sees even more use than mine does. This kit includes both the AccessCase and the backup SnapBattery that snaps right to the back of the AccessCase. The Access Case can be on the iPhone without the SnapBattery - then you can recharge your phone right on the Powermat. And if you are away from somewhere you can recharge your phone, simply snap the SnapBattery onto the AccessCase and you've got another phone battery ready to go, already attached to your phone so you can use it like any phone. Or, just leave it on your phone all the time - it does make your iPhone a little more bulky, but then you've got double the battery power, which is great for when you're not going to be near a charger, or don't have room to take other charging accessories with you. We did notice that when using the SnapBattery, your phone's original battery will die first, and it seamlessly transitions to the SnapBattery. You won't even know it happened unless you look! When you want to recharge your phone with the SnapBattery attached, just place the SnapBattery onto the Powermat, or charge by other conventional methods.
Now for the Powermat! This thing is really cool! (LOL, like the others aren't??) It does need to be plugged in to a wall outlet. Then simply place the backup batteries, the SnapBattery, or your phone (with the AccessCase) right onto it to charge! You'll be able to tell when your mobile devices are properly aligned on the Powermat by feel - you'll feel a slight magnetic pull. You'll also be able to hear it, it makes a neat little noise, LOL!! And of course, it has a light indicator that turns on when the device is properly aligned.
Currently Powermat charging is offered in the following public places- select Starbucks & McDonalds, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Madison Square Garden, and coming soon to Delta Shuttle & Delta Skyclub. In time, I think we'll see a lot more Powermats in lots more public places; it's such a fantastic idea!
Overall, big thumbs up from me - these would make great Christmas/holiday gifts for today's mobile device users!

At SmartPlay I learned Ingenio is expanding the bilingual line to include English-French products. If this is the wrong question, at Duracell I learned The TravelMat wirelessly charges your smartphone as rapidly as a wall outlet. Or use its USB port to charge other mobile devices – even your tablet.
I love the alphabet blocks!
I love the whole bilingual aspect of it. In this day and age it's important to know a different language.
I learned that the Duracell Powermat's technology is a combination of magnetic induction and Duracell Powermat's own proprietary technology.

I love the bilingual capabilities (including my long lost French!) and I think it is oh so important and enriching for our children to be Bi - or MULTI-Lingual !

I never would have guessed that learning a second language is better at a younger age. That is an interesting new fact.
I learned that learning a new language has a positive effect on intellectual growth.
