Philips launches new range of back up power devices

Designed for people on the go, the new Power4Life range of back-up power and universal charger products allows electronic devices such as mobile phones, PDAs and iPods to be conveniently charged through a single Universal USB charger, or re-energised by a handy back-up power pack.

Vincenzo Ventricelli, Director Customer Marketing - Middle East & Africa, Philips Consumer Lifestyle, said:

"Electronic gadgets are an integral part of the modern lifestyle. Whether it is a phone, portable music player or a PDA, running out of battery is one of the most common and frequent frustrations consumers face."

"By providing portable power solutions and allowing all electronic devices to be charged from a single charger, Philips Power4Life range offers clever and simple solutions to keeping us energized," Ventricelli added.

Universal USB chargers:

This range of compact chargers not only ensures you never lose touch with loved ones; they also cut down the clutter in your travel bag, office and home. Regardless of the location, the Philips Universal USB charger will keep portable electronics performing at their best.
