Velvetwire, Inc. today announced that its next generation Powerslayer USB wall charger is available for purchase beginning January 30, 2015. Powerslayer Blu is a charger that integrates Bluetooth low energy (BLE) connectivity, allowing the device to communicate with an accompanying iOS app so that users can actually view the charging process, see how long it will take to reach a certain battery level and set alerts when their battery has reached a specified level of charge. The new Bluetooth connectivity further allows Powerslayer Blu to sync with other gadgets in the smart home ecosystem.

“Powerslayer Blu is the first charger that provides visibility and interaction with USB charging,” said Eric Bodnar, co-founder and CEO of Velvetwire. “In our technology-driven world, consumers are typically charging anywhere from two to five devices a day, yet many people don’t think about the quality of power their devices are receiving. With Powerslayer Blu, consumers can be assured that their devices are protected from surges and battery depletion. Now, using our new iOS app, consumers can view the charging process and be alerted when devices are fully charged.”
