I suppose one of the holy grails that scientists are looking for in this day and age would be a fast charging battery that is capable of holding a really large charge. Graphene have been cited to be one of the materials that could be used to improve batteries as well as a slew of other devices, but the number of products with graphene on the market are somewhat scarce – like water in a desert. Well, it seems that this might change with the Zap&Go, which is an Indiegogo project that requires your funding in order to become reality. Should it roll off the production lines after meeting its funding goals, it can be deemed ot be the first graphene supercapactor charger in the world.
Just what kind of performance does the Zap&Go deliver? Well, for starters, the team behind the Zap&Go claim that it requires all of just five minutes in order to charge itself fully, before it is used to juice up your exhausted smartphone or tablet in turn, traveling with you wherever and whenever required. The Zap&Go has a power capacity of 1,500mAh, which is more than enough to power an iPhone 5 to from completely empty to 100%.
Apart from that, the Zap&Go will also be accompanied by international power plugs so that it can be used worldwide without missing a beat. When fully charged, it will make a sound, and right now, the Zap&Go project requires $30,000 to take off, although it has smashed that mark and beyond already with more than a month left to go.
