Each of these new offerings and technologies, including several new rechargeable devices, highlight how Rayovac products are shaping a new connected lifestyle.

7 Hours of Rechargeable and Reusable Power

With the unlimited capabilities of today’s handheld devices, it has become increasingly challenging to keep devices up and running all day long. Rayovac’s 7 Hour Power Recharge mobile device charger provides phones with a full charge without the use of outlets or electricity. The 7 Hour Power Recharge is powered by four AA batteries of any cell chemistry, providing instant, outlet-free power to any mobile phone and other USB powered devices. Use alkaline batteries that have a 10-year shelf life, or rechargeable batteries that can be used over and over. After 30 seconds of inactivity, the device will automatically turn off to save battery power. The 7 Hour Power Recharge mobile device charger has an MSRP of $19.99.

Give Your Phone a Boost with 150 Minutes of Talk Time

Rayovac’s Phone Boost 800 mobile device charger offers robust power and performance providing instant power for Micro USB, Apple 30-pin and Apple LightningTM devices. The charger, which can be attached to a ring of keys, utilizes a lithium ion rechargeable battery that holds 800mAh of power to recharge a mobile phone for 150 minutes of additional talk time. The Phone Boost 800 can be recharged and used over and over again to power mobile phones, digital cameras, portable gaming devices, MP3 players, and more. The Phone Boost 800 mobile charging device has an MSRP of $19.99 (micro USB), $19.99 (Apple 30-pin), and $24.99 (Apple LightningTM).

Power up Your Electronic Devices

Rayovac’s Power Packs are sleek and small and have been designed with the utmost functionality in mind. The 2000mAh power pack has enough capacity to give your smart phone up to a full charge. Not enough? Upgrade to the 6000mAh power pack and be set to charge your smart phone up to three full times. Easily storable, the rugged, durable and water resistant power packs can recharge mobile devices in any situation and can be recharged. Similar to Rayovac’s other improved mobile charging devices, the power packs include an LED battery gauge indicator that displays the charge and discharge status. Rayovac’s Power Packs have an MSRP of $29.99 (2000mAh) and $49.99 (6000mAh).

Double Up on Power in the Car and at Home

Powering one or more devices at home or in the car has never been easier than with Rayovac’s Car and Wall USB Power Chargers. Rayovac’s Car and Wall USB chargers have been designed with dual USB ports, making it possible to charge two devices simultaneously, including tablets. Providing travelers with fully-charged electronic devices to make emergency situations worry-free, these compact and powerful dual USB chargers have a maximum output of 3.4A and are compatible with all USB cables, including Apple LightningTM, Apple 30-pin, Micro USB and Mini USB cables. Rayovac’s Car and Wall USB Power Chargers have an MSRP of $14.99.
