Power Gorilla from Scorpion

In the beginning there was Powermonkey, then came Powermonkey eXplorer shortly to be followed by the Powerchimp. Now the zoo just got a little larger and the Monkey's are scattering since the arrival of the silver backed Powergorilla.

This ultimate emergency charger has come from an unknown land far, far away, traversed stormy seas and scaled impossible summits to reach us here in the UK.


Powergorilla is the ultimate portable charger for your laptop and the answer to many maidens prayers. This Silver Back will give you an extra 2-5 hours of Laptop power, depending on your laptop's spec and over 20 hours on various other electronic devices

Powergorilla will work with devices up to 24volts - so from your laptop, right the way down to your mobile phone or iPod! Just select which voltage you require; 5v, 16v, 19v or 24v and the LCD screen will indicate which setting has been chosen.



Then simply hook up your gadget and away you go! You can even daisy-chain, so whilst the Powergorilla is charging your laptop, you can charge the Powergorilla from the mains power supply.

Or you can charge your laptop and your mobile phone simultaneously! One-touch button technology means the Powergorilla is easy to use and its sleek, aluminium casing with shock resistant rubber protection strips makes it totally robust.

Powergorilla also has many safety features including output auto-lock, voltage limitation protection, short circuit protection, over charging protection and over heat protection.

Whilst it didn't annoy the troops this Silver Back has been on field tests out in Afghanistan where it was subjected to extremely hot temperatures and successfully charged a Dell laptop without problems.

Power Gorilla Kit Includes:
Neoprene travel case
Tip pack containing 8 male and 7 female laptop connectors
Tip pack containing connectors for most small devices
12v car charger socket
Universal AC laptop charger

Powergorilla really does let you ROAM WILD just like the Silver Back.

Simply use it with our car charger socket (included with the powergorilla - available to buy for the solargorilla), and you can power your laptop wherever you are!

This useful cable is sleek and lightweight and will work with in-seat DC power ports that are now available on many commercial airlines (check your airline regarding the availability of in-seat power ports).



In the desert, on safari, up a mountain or simply on the move, the Solargorilla gives you power anywhere under the sun. Solargorilla's 24 volt and 5 volt USB socket make it the ultimate renewable power station for your laptop, mobile phone, iPod and many more devices.

Solargorilla works via two PV (photovoltaic) solar panels, which generate electric current when they are exposed to light. The green LED on the Solargorilla indicates the strength of charge - the more UV intensity - the better it will work!

The technically advanced solar panels ensure superb power and reliable performance, all housed in a tough outer casing. Solargorilla is compatible with most laptops, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs, handheld games consoles and Sat Navs.

You can even use the Solargorilla to recharge the fabulous Powergorilla - simply attach it using the 2m extension cable and the L52D tip. A total portable power station!

Solargorilla features:
Tough, rubberised casing
Portable, fold-up design protects your solar panels when stored
Water resistant design
Slot to allow Solargorilla to be suspended on vehicle or tent for outdoor use
20V power socket out
Standard 5v USB socket
Green LED charging indicator

Dimensions: 264 x 200 x 19mm

Each Solargorilla kit contains:
1 x Solargorilla
8 x male laptop connectors
9 "monkey nuts" mobile phone connectors
1 x female USB charging tip for smart phones
PDA's
Other powered devices

Note:
Solargorilla is a charging option. It relies on the UV intensity of the sun. Therefore, at this time of year it may not be suitable for use in the Northern Hemisphere unless combined with the Powergorilla. The Solargorilla has been trialled successfully in the Southern Hemisphere by aid agencies, emergency services, the military and adventure travellers, where power is a crucial element of their communications strategy.

The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation suffered communications problems in the past and the products have been hugely acclaimed as being a long overdue solution to power issues. Pre-production units have also been on field tests in Africa, Australia and even Afghanistan.

The Solargorilla was extensively field-tested in the UK earlier this year, where it powered a number of laptops for a week at a time. To use with Macbook, Macbook Air and Macbook Pro you will need an Apple MagSafe airline adaptor and one of our universal car charger sockets. The MagSafe adaptor is available to buy from us. please contact us if you require the universal car charger socket.
