Everyone heard about the thousands of people who were affected by a great disaster in the USA recently. Of course, I’m talking about ultra-conservatives and the re-election of Barack Obama.
For all the people moving into Unabomber-style shacks and waiting for the inevitable collapse of American society, we have great news! Sugoi Battery is exactly what you need to survive a disaster in the wilderness comfortably!
The name is derived from the Japanese word sugoi, which means great, awesome, kick-ass, and all that. So you can imagine it’s quite the power supply.
How great is it? How about enough to power 75 mobile phones for 25 hours (on standby with the LED screens on)? Sugoi Battery’s 75,000mA capacity could also run a refrigerator for just under eight hours.
It has two USB inputs (5V) which should handle most modern devices but also is equipped with two MiniDIN ports (12V/5V) to which you can attach a 12V AC adapter cable for older devices. What do you think about that Maria?
That’s right. There is also a cigarette lighter socket for car devices but it can also be used for others with the help of an adapter sold separately. It can also charge by regular outlets, solar panels or a car.
With all that heavy duty power the Sugoi Battery is surprisingly light weighing in at 2.1kg (4.6lbs) or about the weight of some laptops.
A lithium Sugoi Battery which boasts 75,000mA cost 37,800 yen (US$467) but a cheaper lead-acid version is also available for just 9,800 yen (US$121). Despite the discount this battery still packs a punch and could charge 10 mobile phones at once.
