Power up your portable devices – without batteries

c2e3a29c-16dd-428d-896b-2bf0274c06ab

You’ve seen wind-up radios and flashlights before, now cranking technology has turned its attention to more advanced devices.

The portable crankmonkey will reward five minutes of furious ratcheting with enough power to revive a dead smartphone in order to make a potentially life-saving phone call. The crankmonkey generates power for 5V devices independently of mains electricity or batteries by rotating the handle on the portable charger. It’s designed to power up key devices including smartphones, GPS and avalanche transceivers.

Jerry Ranger of Powertraveller says, "The ability to deliver infinite power independently of mains electricity or battery-powered devices is hugely significant. The crankmonkey could be the lifeline for anybody in need of power in a distressing or emergency situation and this technology finally brings infinite power to the palm of your hand.”

Designed with lightweight yet robust materials, the crankmonkey is packed full of features and has undergone a series of rigorous testing to ensure it functions fully in extreme climates, harsh environments and terrain. The ridged anodised casing provides a secure grip, even if hands are cold or wet and the strong cylindrical design gives the crankmonkey strength and durability to withstand the demands of extreme weather conditions and situations.

The crankmonkey is set to be hailed as the most environmentally efficient way to charge your devices. Instant power, a lifetime guarantee, ultimate peace of mind and solely reliant on your hand to generate essential, life-saving power.
The crankmonkey is available for £99 and you can find out more at powertraveller.com.
