iPowerRush Recharger Compatible With New 3G Version of Apple iPhone Allowing End Users to Save Time and Money

Posted on: Tuesday, 8 July 2008, 09:01 CDT

LAS VEGAS, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- iPowerRush announced today that its rapid power jump starter and internal battery recharger are compatible with the new 3G version of the Apple iPhone which will be available to the public on July 11.

According to Apple, the new 3G iPhone is twice as fast as the current Edge system and the user can preserve battery power by turning off 3G in the menu setting. This means a 3G iPhone user will be able to utilize twice the speed of the old Edge without worrying about power and use the iPowerRush to recharge.

"We are excited to offer iPhone 3G users a product that will help them save valuable time by charging quicker than traditional methods," said Larry Klein, president of iPowerRush.

The 3G version of the iPhone offers fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange and the new App store.

Manufactured in China, the iPowerRush is a slim white plastic case consisting of a 3 inch built in cable and 30-pin connector. The unit has a power on/off switch and battery light power indicator, high review kudos and is CE and RoHS certified.

The uniqueness of the iPowerRush is in its power source. It runs on six AAA batteries and provides instant power on for the iPhone while recharging the iPhone's internal battery at a rate of 50% capacity in just less than one hour. Most importantly, the iPowerRush delivers an unprecedented 500ma of current. This fact is what sets iPowerRush apart from all other chargers on the market. By utilizing two sets of three batteries and then regulating the output voltage iPowerRush supplies the current and voltage other backup units cannot.

Equally important, the ubiquitous availability of AAAs makes it easy to always keep the iPhone working. Because of the iPhone's unique high power internal battery, only a charger designed for the iPhone's power consumption will work effectively. Why would this be so? Many chargers exist utilizing from 1 to 4 batteries, most AA and a few AAA. However, these chargers are universal and once the user has laid down their money realize that those universal chargers are gimmicky and simply don't keep the iPhone powered for long periods of time. To keep the iPhone powered up, a charger must integrate with the iPhone's new internal battery. And the iPhone consumes power. Lot's of it. Furthermore, just hooking up any plain non-specific battery charger will usually result in three things: a message on the iPhone that the power source is incompatible and should be removed, overheating and damage to the charger itself within a 15 minute time, and finally a short power supply time. Many battery manufacturers are releasing generic battery packs with USB connectors alleging to work with the iPhone. And though they might power the iPhone, it is risky and usually insufficient in power reserve and very gimmicky.

The iPowerRush sells for $29.95 and is available exclusively at http://www.ipowerrush.com/.
