CLOSER LOOK
HYPERMAC > EXTERNAL POWER FOR YOUR MAC COMPUTER
It seems that the life span of an internal
battery is not enough for all our wants and
needs. But have no fear, HyperMac is here.
Sanho Corp., the company behind the
HyperDrive photo back-up devices, has
introduced this external MacBook battery
pack that works with the entire Apple
MacBook family of notebook computers.
This one-of-a-kind device will allow you to
use any MacBook product for up to 32
hours. How does it work? Simple.
In comparison to the MacBook Air internal
battery that is only 37Wh, this external
battery pack comes in four capacities:
60Wh, 100Wh, 150Wh, and 220Wh. It is
capable of powering the MacBook,
MacBook Pro and all MacBook Air
models through long-haul flights,
extended outdoor shoots, expeditions to
remote locations or any situation where
electricity is not an option simply by
plugging in the original MagSafe
connectors from your MacBook to the
battery pack.
The HyperMac battery intelligently
determines which MacBook model is
connected and adjusts the charging
power automatically. The charging cables
use Apple MagSafe connectors that allow
the user to have maximum compatibility
among the MacBook family.
What if you are on the road? No problem.
The HyperMac car charger is the better
way to power and recharge your MacBook.
Unlike DC-to-AC auto inverters, the
HyperMac pure DC-only car charger does
not produce any dangerous high AC
voltages. It is twice as efficient, more
compact and produces a cleaner power
signal important for high fidelity
performance.
With the HyperMac car charger you can
power and recharge the MacBook directly
from the automobile cigarette slot. And as
if this little device did not do enough
already, the HyperMac can also power and
recharge the latest iPhone 3G
simultaneously with the MacBook. Power
your MacBook continuously for more than
a day or recharge your iPhone 52 times.
The HyperMac external battery comes
with a USB 5V/1A power port that allows
you to power any USB device. Your
MacBook regards the HyperMac
connection as a connection to the original
power adapter. Not only does HyperMac
provide power for the MacBook, but it
charges the internal battery as well.
"HyperMac allows the MacBook user to
easily extend their MacBook battery life,"
Daniel Chin, president of Sanho
Corporation, said in a news release. "With
the MacBook moving towards unibody
designs with built-in batteries, HyperMac is
the only viable option to extend the
unibody MacBook's mobile computing
time beyond the power grid.
"Using HyperMac external batteries will
also help to reduce the strain on the
MacBook internal batteries and extend the
overall life span of these difficult to
replace batteries," he concludes.
The HyperMac battery pack is what
everyone needs these days. With busy life
styles, and laptops becoming our new pen
and paper, we need to make sure to never
get caught without it. Check the
HyperMac battery level anytime with the
built-in-4-stage LED indicator and recharge
when needed.
HyperMac batteries use the same high-
end lithium ion cells that are supplied to
the U.S. military. And unlike the industry
standards, in which batteries can only
recharge up to 300 times and come with
a three-month warranty, the HyperMac is
rechargeable up to 1,000 times and it
comes with a one-year warranty.
The HyperMac is also aesthetically pleasing
and comes with the complete Applesque
look. The batteries match the MacBook's
silver aluminum color, they come with the
laser engraved logo, and all-white
accessories. Plus, this multi-functional
device has dimensions as small as 4.92 x
3.78 x .83'' and weighs .8 lb. So although
there is a difference in the life span of
your laptop's battery pack, you won't feel
the difference on your shoulders.
Now leave your original MacBook power
adapter behind. Each package comes with
the HyperMac external battery, plus one
MacBook charging cable and an AC power
adapter. The HyperMac car charger and
additional MagSafe charging cables
are optional.
