You walk to your morning classes… This is one of those days when you are ready to tackle a full day of lectures and list of things that NEED to get done. Your friends and companions for the day will be your laptop, cell phone, and trusty iPod to put a soundtrack to this productive next 12 hours.
Skip ahead to lunch time. The morning is done and you are feeling accomplished. All classes attended and many tasks have been crossed off your mental list of things you needed to get done. Now, you glance at your laptop’s battery power, and it happens to be in the red. Your cell phone and iPod are both slowly becoming deceased with every click of their buttons. At this moment, you realize that you didn’t bring the chargers for your electronics because you didn’t want the inside of your bag to look like the Amazon rainforest. The rest of your day, you spend attempting to conserve power; as a result, your productivity and efficiency decreases along with the battery power of your portable electronics (which don’t seem so portable anymore).
Insert, a simple solution (that also happens to be a eco-friendly alternative). The Voltaic backpack offers charger ports for electronics that is ideal for individuals on the go. Any time you step outside, your electronics will get a boost of charge before your next task. 1 hour outside will power 3 hours of iPod play and 1.5 hours of cell phone talk time. In addition, the bags come with a battery that can be charged with a USB cable or even in your car!
There are 4 different bags that come in different colors. All bags include adapters for common cell phones and other handheld devices. The Generator also includes common laptop adapters.
You can even customize your existing backpack!
Voltaic bags use fabrics made from recycled PET i.e. soda bottles. Recycled PET fabric is light weight, extremely durable, UV resistant and water resistant. It even looks better than the nylon it replaced.
