Elecom's New Portable Power Station: The Game Changer for On-The-Go Charging

Elecom, the Japanese electronics giant, has unveiled a new innovative device that combines the functionality of an AC charger with the convenience of a mobile battery. The DE-AC08-5000 is a compact and versatile power station designed to keep your devices charged on the go.

This ultra-portable gadget boasts a slim design, making it perfect for slipping into small bags or pouches. It features a 5,000mAh battery as well as a plug and supports USB Power Delivery 20W for fast-charging capabilities. Elecom assures customers that their smartphones will never run out of power unexpectedly, providing enough juice to charge a typical 1,800mAh smartphone around 1.6 times and a 3,000mAh smartphone about 0.9 times.

What makes the DE-AC08-5000 unique is its ability to function as a regular charger when plugged into an outlet, while also charging the power bank itself. It prioritizes charging the connected device first before topping up its own battery.

Stylish Design with Practical Features

The device comes with a convenient swing mechanism for the power plug, allowing it to be hidden within the body when not in use. Users can easily monitor the battery level thanks to a four-stage LED indicator. Available in both black and Shiro-chan, a white version with a cute cartoon face, the DE-AC08-5000 is priced at around $37.

Elecom emphasizes safety and longevity in this product, noting that it uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery capable of about 500 charge cycles. It comes with five protection functions including overcharge and short-circuit protection, and is also compliant with air travel safety standards.

Whether you're a busy professional always on the move or a traveler seeking a reliable power source, Elecom's latest offering might just be the perfect solution.
