Posted on: Wednesday, 14 September 2005, 09:00 CDT

New Product Line, Featuring Anywhere, Anytime Power, Now Available at Retailers Nationwide

You're about to finally make it to the next level in "The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap" or "Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix" when your Game Boy or PSP dies. You think you can add another mile to your run when all of a sudden your iPod stops playing. The baby is about to take his first steps and the all of sudden your camcorder picture starts flickering. Your boss has sent an e-mail to your BlackBerry marked "high importance," just as your last battery bar disappears. You pick up your cell phone to answer a call from your friend who just got off a 12 hour flight when all of a sudden your cell phone battery dies.

The solution to all of these battery problems is finally here!

Compact Power Systems, LLC. (CPS), makers of Cellboost(TM) portable power solutions, today delivered an expanded product line including Cellboost for Apple iPod, iPod mini, and iPod shuffle; the new Sony PSP; Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP and DS systems; camcorders; and smart phones available now at Radio Shack and October 6th at CompUSA and Good Guys stores nationwide. Cellboost keeps portable electronic devices powered for one-to-eight hours when batteries die or are low and recharging is not an option.

"There's nothing more frustrating for today's consumers than to see flashing low battery alerts on their portable electronic devices, especially when they don't have the time or are unable to plug-into a charger," said Rodney Rad, director of marketing for CPS. "Unfortunately, today's electronic devices are powered by archaic battery technology. With no new battery improvements on the horizon, according to research data, consumers will find Cellboost the ideal solution for keeping their electronic devices powered."

Featuring the same patented technology as the company's popular Cellboost product for the leading cell phone brands, the newest products offer instant and inexpensive battery power for today's electronics dependant consumer. The pocket-sized new line of accessories, inserted into the same port as the standard AC charger, will restore power to dead or dying devices within seconds, without using electrical outlets, battery changes or cords. The Cellboost units simultaneously power and charge the devices; can be used in one charging session or several; and can be thrown away when the power is exhausted.

Additionally, the expanded Cellboost line also includes the company's first line of LiIon rechargeable solutions, iRecharge(TM), designed to provide alternative backup power for iPod, iPod mini and iPod shuffle. iRecharge will give an extra twelve hours of play time to iPod and iPod mini users, and an extra 40 hours of play time to iPod shuffle users, and can be recharged for repeated use.
