In 2004 when I started Scorpion I looked for every option which I thought would provide a benefit to my customers. One most valuable asset was the provision of a series of cigarette lighter leads to enable customers to charge their mobile phones. This worked extremely well albeit the amount of cables I needed grew and grew.Then, one day a customer got in the car and unfortunately I had left my Blackberry charging cable at home. Without fuss he pulled out of his brief case something that could only be described as a Silver bullet. He plugged it into the side of his Blackberry and switched it on.
Being the ever inquisitive individual I asked him what it was. He advised it was a Powermonkey and I thought ask a silly question, of course it's a Powermonkey what else. He continued to explain what this Silver bullet did and I was impressed....
....and here it is, the Powermonkey Classic.
I then found out they are only a few miles away from where I live and hot footed it to their office. Without hesitation I purchased my first one and have never looked back. Immediately I realised I could get rid of the charging cables I carried in the car as it comes with a range of interchangeable adaptors or tips to suit a very wide range of mobile phones and more (see below).
"VOTED "BEST BUY" BY COMPUTER SHOPPER MAGAZINE, DEC 06" the Powermonkey will revolutionise the way you charge your devices. Imagine it's a portable petrol pump for your technology! Change the way you charge - forever!
I now market the entire range of products from Powertraveller as not only are they of the very highest quality, they are perfect for traveller's on the move.
As is usually the case your mobile phone or iPod goes flat at the most inconvenient times. that is when you need the Powermonkey. Plug it in, switch it on and very quickly you are back to full power again.

The Powermonkey eXplorer does the same thing but also has the benefit of a Solar Panel to enable charging whilst out in the field.
The pic on the left shows the eXplorer kit with the Solar Panel.
I have to say I prefer the standard Powermonkey for normal use as one has to be in better sunlight than we have in the UK for the Solar panel to work effectively. Of course, for those travelling abroad it can offer benefits.
In my VW Touareg I have Velcro on both mobile phone holders and my Powermonkey sits on either ready to leap into action to provide portable power for my customers and is constantly used.
Here the Powermonkey is connected to my Blackberry 8310, Curve. I have sold many units straight from the car once customers realise what it does.
We started with the Powermonkey, then onto the Powermonkey Explorer and now we have the new cheeky little chappy, the Powerchimp. This offers the same power portability but is powered by rechargeable batteries.
Powerchimp
Introducing - the brand new Powerchimp! A nifty little charger for most portable gadgets which can also re-juice rechargeable batteries! Use it to recharge your mobile phone, iPod / MP3, PDA, PSP and other digital devices! Choose from grey, blue, pink or yellow and you'll wonder how you ever lived without this little chap! The Powerchimp will recharge most mobile phones once fully before the batteries in the chimp will need
recharging.
They include the most popular mobile phone tips including the Sony-Ericsson wide connector, Samsung E900, Mini USB (motorola V3 Razr/Krzr,etc), LG Chocolate, Nokia and Mini Nokia.
If you need an alternative connector, you can purchase these directly from me as I carry them all.
Please note, the powerchimp will not work with Apple iPhone - if you require a charger for an iPhone, please take a look at the Powermonkey Classic or Powermonkey-eXplorer. These will provide approximately 2 full charges for an iPhone.
The clever little chimp will also power your Soundtraveller (see alternative blog) speaker should you be lucky enough to own one! Simply attach it to the speaker and play your tunes without the need for inserting batteries into the speaker unit!
The Powerchimp comes complete with a Made for iPod approved charging tip, so you can re-juice your iPod whenever you run out of power! You can use the Powerchimp with all iPods including the new iPod Nano as well as the iTouch - a total iPod solution!
Why let a little thing like running out of battery power on your Sony PSP stop you from playing your games? With the Powerchimp, you can recharge the PSP with the included DC4.0 charging tip! You can also purchase extra adaptors from me for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS-Lite portable games consoles! Game playing has never been such fun!
Use your Solarmonkey to recharge it...
Why not take advantage of our complete convergent charging solution and team up your Powerchimp with one of our Solarmonkeys? Use this compact solar charging unit to recharge the batteries inside the Powerchimp from the power of the sun! When using the Solarmonkey to re charge the Powerchimp, the LED on the chimp may flash red if the solar strength is low - continuous red LED means that the Powerchimp is being charged.
Once your little Powerchimp has used all its juice, simply connect it to your computer's USB socket via the included retractable USB charging cable and recharge its poor exhausted batteries! When charging, the LED will be continuously red, once it's fully charged, the LED will turn green.
The Powerchimp also features quick battery charging with over charge / discharge protection and a pulse charging technology system to ensure long battery life. Powerchimp will be fully charged via USB in 5 hours.
What better way to keep your Powerchimp in power than with our fantastic new Powertraveller rechargeable batteries! The Powerchimp comes complete with the requisite 2 x AA Ni-MH 1800mAh Powertraveller batteries, so you can use the chimp straight out of its box.
And it's a handy torch! What more could you ask of such a lightweight and portable gadget...? It will recharge practically all your small digital devices, comes in a variety of colours, has lots of tips with it and even comes complete with rechargeable batteries!
But that's not enough, we thought....let's add a useful torch to it as well! Yes - the Powerchimp has its own integrated bright LED torch located at the top of the unit. So you can use it to locate your keyhole, your shoes in the dark or even that five
pound note that you "just know" is at the bottom of your bag somewhere...
Power Traveller Rechargeable Batteries
Powertraveller AA 1800mAh Rechargeable Batteries - 4 pack,A set of powerful, rechargeable AA batteries you can use again and again!
Taking only 5 hours to recharge from USB, these batteries have a 10 year shelf life - and will still have 75% capacity remaining after 6 months. They can be recharged 1000 times - so plenty of power to be had from them!
