Help a new start-up company that focuses on designing innovative, problem solving products for today’s mobile lifestyles.
Boston, MA – February 4, 2014 -- An innovative product geared specifically toward travelers, the PLugg is the first USB battery charger that combines a USB mini generator powered by the suitcase wheel. When you plug your cell phone into the USB port on your PLUGG the phones battery is charged by the rolling motion of your suitcase wheel as you are walking or by PLUGGs internal battery if you are seated.
This
extra battery, located inside PLugg, acts as an emergency backup battery should
you need one, and it’s also automatically charged while you drag your suitcase. When you need, you just connect your device to the USB port. On full
charged battery an electronic circuit will stop the charging phase in order to
protect the battery.
A
mini USB port on the PCB and a supply cable will allow to recharge the Plugg’s
battery on a standard home plug in order to have your energy reserve ready
faster.
The goal for this crowdfunding project is to help raise funds
to put the PLugg into production. Funding is needed to buy all the components,
pay for the first production run, and pay for all the certification like CE,
RoHS, and WEEE. Next will be to complete all developmental steps, from tooling,
molds, parts procurement, certification, packaging etc., all this leading to
final production. PLugg is asking for $150k to complete the development and to
produce the first line run. There are many exciting discounts and offers
available to early backers, and PLugg hopes to turn this product into a
something special that consumers are going to love!
