Portable Hybrid Charger and Travel Battery Line

Panasonic announces the debut of its new 2-in-1 Portable Hybrid Charger & Travel Battery line featuring a unique intelligent switching feature that charges connected USB-powered devices first before recharging the travel battery. Designed for the on-the-go consumer, the compact QE-AL201 (SRP $59.99) and QE-AL102 (SRP $39.99) offer long lifecycles when compared to most conventional mobile chargers. This lightweight ac adapter and portable charger system is perfect for use at work, school, business and travel. Its slim profile fits easily into pockets and fits neatly into any purse, bag or luggage.

Panasonic Hybrid Chargers plug conveniently into any compatible ac outlet to provide fast, easy USB charging for iPhone® and Android smartphones and tablet devices as well digital cameras. While charging, the Intelligent Pass-Through charging system automatically prioritizes your smartphone/device first, then switches to charge the portable battery.

Conventional portable chargers utilize a concurrent charge which requires that both the inside battery and connected device charge at the same time. This method incurs charge/discharge loss, wastes device battery voltage, and increases the charge time. Panasonic’s efficient Intelligent Pass-Through technology delivers less charge/discharge loss and faster, more convenient charge times.
