Schneider Electric has introduced the APC Mobile Power Pack range of high-capacity, high-efficiency external battery packs designed to provide mobile charging for smartphones, tablets and other devices charged using a USB cable.

The packs come in two sizes - M5 (5000 mAh) and M10 (10,000 mAh). The M5 weighs in at 142 g and measures under 108 x 65 x 15 mm, packing enough energy to charge the average smartphone twice. The M10 weighs 243 g, measures under 147 x 89 x 14 mm and provides either one full charge for a tablet or four smartphone charges.

The packs incorporate lithium polymer battery technology that can be charged twice as many times as lithium-ion equivalents. The APC Mobile Power Pack provides two output USB connections, which allows two devices to be charged simultaneously. The packs are charged using a supplied micro USB connector; charge times are typically 4 h for the M5 or 8 h for the M10.
