Father's Day Gift Guide: Duracell Powermat #Giveaway





Have you ever been waiting for a phone call, lost on the road, or looking to find someone, only to have your mobile device die when you need it most?

Duracell, the brand synonymous with consumer trust around the world, has just unveiled its brand new ‘Portable Charger Set’ of backup batteries for iPhones and other electronic devices to ensure that consumers are never caught powerless again! 

The Portable Charger Set is the indispensable modern day emergency kit that ensures you’re never caught powerless at the wrong moment. It’s the perfect gift for busy moms and dads, business travelers, recent grads or any avid mobile user.

Duracell now offers The Portable Charger Set in 600 Sam’s Club locations nationally!  With two dedicated backup batteries; one providing enough power to get you through a full day (The ‘Day Trip’ 1800 mAh) without plugging in and the other with more than enough power to keep you buzzing for days (The ‘Long Haul’ 8800 mAh)…this is the perfect ‘power set’ for anyone living today’s digital mobile lifestyle!

Priced at $129.99 for the set, you get a $60 savings right off the bat. In addition, Sam’s Club is offering a special in-store savings promotion from mid-May through mid-June that lets you receive the entire PCS for just $99.  That’s a $100 savings value when compared to individual backup battery pricing.

The PCS backup batteries are made from the same user-friendly materials as all Duracell products and are just as reliable!

Day Trip
Our Thoughts

My hubby and I are high end users of our iPhones and iPads. There is rarely a day that goes by that one or both of us don't end up plugging the devices in to try to squeeze just a little more use out of them. The Duracell Portable Charger Set is just what we need though.

The 'Day Trip' is small and is great for charging up my iPhone while I'm at home and moving around doing chores. It's small enough that I can fit it in my hoodie pocket or even in the back pocket of my jeans if I really try. There is honestly something to be said about a small charger that doesn't take forever to get your phone up and going. The main thing that I noticed, other than the speed that it charges my phone, is this device does not get warm while it's charging my phone. Every other device I've tried as a portable charger had ended up getting warm. I do have to mention this has an iPhone and a micro-USB cords attached.

Long Haul
The 'Long Haul' is another amazing device from Duracell. It has duel ports for USB cords. This makes it very easy to charge your iPad and iPhone. While testing the 'Long Haul' charger, I was able to charge my iPad and iPhone from a completely dead battery on it before the charger itself died. This is something that my hubby loves to keep in his backpack with his computer so when he needs his iPad charged on the go, he doesn't take the battery from his computer.


Both the 'Day Trip' and 'Long Haul' can be recharged using the USB input cable that comes with the chargers or with any Duracell Power Mat. They also have LED lights on the front ('Day Trip') and the top ('Long Haul') to let you know when they need to be charged. My kids actually enjoy watching the lights blink as it's charging!

These are two devices that I will not leave home without when we are on the go to the lake and on vacations this summer. I know that they will make our lives easier, especially with the kids since they like to watch a movie before bed on their iPad. I highly recommend purchasing the set if you're going to be on the move this summer, especially for Dad! You can find the Portable Charger Set at your local Sam's Club!
