One of IOGEAR‘s newest portable power solutions is GearPower, GMP7K. This device is small, powerful and effective.

The Gear Power is charged via USB, it can be connected to a wall outlet or a PC USB port. Any ‘hot’, powered USB connection will also charge it. Most new cable TV boxes have hot USB ports on them somewhere and make for an easy place to plug something in for a while without keeping the computer on or leaving a charger in over night by accident.

When using the Gear Power make sure to follow these battery efficiency tips:

1) Periodically run the device to its absolute bottom (run it dry), then charge it to full capacity. This refreshes the battery’s memory and will lead to stronger, quicker charges and help keep capacity at its maximum.
