At last a simple easy to use portable laptop computer charging solution (can be topped up with Solar power using the Solar Gorilla - not included) for package deal see Combo

Ever wanted a portable charger for your laptop / notebook, sat nav, iPhone, PDA, hand held games console or mobile phone? Well fear not - we've answered your prayers. Note to use with the iPad you will need an additional tip and the setting must be 8.4V. It will reduce down to a high voltage USB out.

The powergorilla will give you an extra 2-5 hours of power, depending on your laptop's specification, 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, youcan 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.

The powergorilla has also been on field tests out in Afghanistan, Madagascar and Zambia.  Being subjected to extremely hot temparatures, the powergorilla has succesfully charged numerous laptops without fault!

High density Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery.

Power your notebook and recharge other digital devices at the same time.

Safety features:

Voltage limitation protection

Current limitation protection

Short Circuits protection

Over-heat protection (powergorilla will auto shut-off if the internal battery overheats due to prolonged exposure to sunlight or other heat source).

Power gorilla can be charged fromt he AC/mains wall socket, which comes in your kit as well as the AC/mains from your laptop.  You can also recharge the powergorilla from the sun using the solargorilla (not included).

Powergorilla New Features:

1-    Input voltage auto recognition - if you their own laptop AC charger with the Powergorilla (between 16v – 24v) the Powergorilla will automatically detect the voltage level and set the LCD display out accordingly.

So what does this mean?!
So by using the an ‘L’ shaped tip included with the ‘Gorilla’ products, you can actually convert your Laptops own power supply to become compatible as a source of power IN to the Powergorilla. So, when you do connect your own laptop to recharge the Powergorilla –the Powergorilla will now automatically detect the input voltage and set the output to match.
This feature is directly linked to the daisy chain functionality. The Powergorilla outputs the exact same voltage as what is being put into it (i.e. if you are to daisy chain, and the input is 19V – but you wanted to output 12V – this will not work. Daisy chaining will ONLY output the exact same voltage as the input i.e. 19v in = 19v out. Only exception to this is via USB – you can always use the USB whilst daisy chaining as the technology prevents the wrong output from being output via the USB).
 

Also by using your laptops charging cable with the Powergorilla, you will find that the output from the Laptop charger is HIGHER than the standard power charger supplied with the Powergorilla. Hence the daisy chain output is higher, allowing you to recharge your Powergorilla and laptop at the same time (whereas with the Powergorilla supplied charger you would not be able to do this as max input to Powergorilla is around 12V i.e. not enough to charge out most laptops). Also, with a higher input of power into the Powergorilla via your own laptops charger, this will speed up the recharge time of the Powergorilla (increased efficiency).

2-    Solargorilla auto recognition - when the Solargorilla is connected to the Powergorilla, it will automatically detect & shut off unnecessary internal circuits to improve charging time by up to 2 hours. This feature is confirmed by displaying a solar logo on the LCD screen.
 
So what does this mean?!
When the SolarGorilla is connected to the Powergorilla, the Powergorilla overrides all other functionality, and will automatically shut down power out from the Powergorilla,  EXCEPT power out from USB. The input from the Solargorilla is not strong enough to power out and recharge the Powergorilla at the same time. Hence now this feature automatically overrides all other power out functionality and in turn speeds up the recharge time of the Powergorilla from Solargorilla by approx 2 hours (i.e. normal time to recharge Powergorilla from Solargorilla = 16 hours, this feature reduces recharge time to 14 hours).

3-    Permanent on feature - when the Powergorilla detects it has been connected to a device the screen will flash. At that point the user can then double click the on/off button to permanently lock the Powergorilla on.
So what does this mean?!
Like the powermonkey explorer, the Powergorilla can now supply an endless supply of power out, until it goes dead. Sometimes in very niche circumstances (aviation etc) there is a need for endless supply of power out and you do not want the powergorilla to auto shut off when the device is full. Hence this feature will allow power out until all power is exhausted.

4-    USB permanent on - by selecting 8.8V on the screen the USB will be locked permanently on.

powergorilla FAQ's

Q: How can I connect my powergorilla to my Macbook, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air?
A: The powergorilla is compatible with Apple Mac laptops using the MagSafe type connector. You will need an Apple MagSafe Airline Adaptor, which you can purchase either from Apple directly. This plugs in to the 12v car charger socket that comes with the powergorilla.

Please note, the MagSafe cable is only suitable for Apple Macs incorporating the MagSafe style of connector. The MagSafe adaptor will only POWER you Mac laptop, it will not charge it.


Q: How do I work out which voltage setting to use with my laptop?
A: You will need to look at the sticker printed on your laptop's AC Adaptor / Mains charger.  Match the output voltage as closely as you can with the option on the powergorilla e.g. 19.5v laptop will require 19v from the powergorilla.

Q: How do I charge my iPhone/iPod from the powergorilla?
A: Connect your white sync/charge cable that came with your iPod/iPhone to the USB port on the powergorilla.

Q: What performance can I expect from my powergorilla?
A: In most cases, the powergorilla will run your laptop (similar to an external battery). If your laptop is switched off, the powergorilla will begin charging it.  With lower consumption laptops, the powergorilla can charge and power your laptop at the same time.

Q: My powergorilla will not charge my laptop
A: Please ensure you are using the correct tip for your laptop.  Once you've confirmed the tip is correct, read the instruction guide that came with the powergorilla and make sure you have selected the correct voltage.  If the powergorilla still does not charge your laptop, please remove the laptop's internal battery - details on how to do this will be in your laptop's documentation.


Q: My powergorilla shuts down unexpectedly - why?
A: This is safety feature of the powergorilla.  This could happen if the powergorilla is being put under too much strain, is too hot, has run out of power or has finished charging your laptop.


Q: My powergorilla shut down and now will not turn back on - what's wrong?
A: Your powergorilla may have activated a safety feature and will need to be connected to the powergorilla mains charger to give it a "soft reset".

Q: What is the life expectancy of my powergorilla and does it have a user-replaceable battery?
A: As with all of the primate power range, Powertraveller recharged the powergorilla 1,000 times without any significant decrease in battery performance.  The powergorilla does not have any user replaceable parts (including the battery).

Q: How can I charge my powergorilla?
A: You can charge your powergorilla from the mains charger included, from your laptop's standard mains charger (using one of the converter tips included in the tip pack) or from the solargorilla (available separately).


Q: How can I get my powergorilla to offer maximum extra power to my Netbook/laptop?
A: You should either ensure that your netbook/laptop is fully charged before connecting powergorilla, this will enable powergorilla to power your device rather than having to increase its workload to charge it too. If its convienient you can also create the same effect and prolong the extra power available by removing your internal battery.
