Energizer XPal XP18000 Power Pack

Listen to article

When I bought that Energizer portable powerpack for my phone a couple of months back, I think I saw a much bigger one that’s meant for laptops. Then last week, a rep from Energizer Philippines contacted me asking if I want to try one.


So I picked the largest unit they had which is this XPal XP18000 Power Pack that’s rate at 18,000mAh. I imagine my notebook’s battery is only at 5,600mAh so that’s like 3 times more capacity. I reckon it’s possible to run my laptop for 24 straight hours using this battery pack.

The portable battery pack also comes with over a dozen power adapters that can fit in any imaginable mobile phone unit, media players and laptops.

The Li-Ion battery weighs just about 0.5lbs, has a charge time of 4 hours and can then charge up to 3 devices all at once. The battery can be recharged up to 500 cycles before it finally gives up — not a lot but I think that will last you around 2 or 3 years.

Updated: Here are the retail prices from Octagon:
XP18000 – Php9,995
XP8000 – Php7,995
XP4000 – Php4,995
XP2000 – Php1,995

@bobong manong

anong can’t defend ur gadget anymore? e anlaki mo palang tanga! basahin mo nga mga posts, e ikaw yung nagmamarunong sa mga gadgets. anong mag-explain? anong respeto? lagyan mo muna laman ng utak mo bago ka mag post dito ha?

hindi purpose na mag post dito para magyabang sa alam mo sa gadgets lalo na kung di naman related sa original post. e di ikaw nga low-bat ang pag-iisip!

kahit wag ka nang umamin, kung saan saan mo pala sinasaksak ang cables mo kaya apektado na utak mo. :)

uy! namemersonal na siya… can’t defend ur gadget anymore? kung marunong ka lang sanang mag-explain kung bakit gusto mong bumili nito eh ka-resperespeto ka sana

bakit kaya napunta sa kabaklaan? i’m really sensing the real purpose of your gadget’s vibration.. kaya laging low-bat!

saan mo ba sinasaksak ang cable ng laptop mo? aminin!

ui at napipikon ka palang matandang bakla ka. ako, sure ako na hopeless ka na nga. kung ano ano pa ang pino post mo dito na alam mo sa gadgets para matabunan lang ang pagka insecure mo. off topic ka naman.

at di mo na kayang pa-check mo lang yang ulo mo. wala nang pag-asa. sige manong magbasa ka pa na magbasa dito ha nang magkalaman naman yang ulo mo at matuto ka kung paano ang tamang pag comment sa posts dito. hindi yung magmamayabang ka para lang may comment ka at sabihing me laman daw yang utak mo.

pwe! :)

e kung di ba naman walang laman yang utak mo. ang pinupunto mo ay wala ka sa punto. wala namang bibili ng bateryang ito kung ipapang charge lang sa samsung galaxy s o 8 to 12-hr netbook.

hampasin ko kaya ng baterya yang pagmumukha mo at baka magkaisip ka na, gago!

Now hold your horses before you get overhyped about this product.

Read the comment below:

http://www.amazon.com/review/RJTSZHN4VSL13/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

* It can only charge three DIFFERENT devices at once.
(no two laptops nor two mp3 players at once)

* You may have to buy a separate tip if the xpal doesn’t support it (esp. for legacy devices)

But aside from the two issues mentioned, it’s a very worthy buy mainly because of all the juice it packs in.

So much for the specs and stuff. Abe forgot to mention if this ‘battery pack’ is available to the market. Hey, he could be using a ‘prototype’ product.
