Brunton continues to expand portable power devices and gadgets with the new Brunton Impel 81-00019 battery hybrid portable battery power device. Brunton Brunton Impel 81-00019 battery features an internal lithium polymer battery that you charge at home, in your car or from your computer so you can then power your USB gadgets like portable electronics, Smartphone, gps, laptop, pda, review, android, iPad, Compaq computer charger while off the grid. Brunton Impel lithium polymer battery that has a storage capacity of 145 watt hours. Charges most USB gadgets including cell phones, digital music players, digital cameras and GPS devices; also charges 2-way radios and portable game consoles.

Most Laptop Batteries are manufactured by all the leading companies in the market like Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic, Acer, Compaq, Dell, Gateway, HP, IBM, Sony, and last but certainly not least, the new hot Apple iPad. OK, first the boring tech stuff. While the iPad is very power-efficient, it doesn't hurt that the iPad has a huge battery inside. The iPad gets its power by 3.75V rechargeable battery(X2 wired in parallel to get 7.5 volts), 24.8 watt-hour (6.5 Amp hour). The 25 watt hour lithium-polymer battery provides the iPad the battery power for the advertised 8 - 10 hours of use. For comparisons, the iPhone 3GS has a 4.51 watt-hour battery and the Mac Book Air has a 40 watt-hour battery.

Ten hours of battery life on a device like the iPad may or may not be enough depending on your usage pattern. The iPad "up to" 10 hours of battery life depends whether you’re web surfing, reading, watching movies or listening to music. When you hear the words "up to" it might cause you concern, but there would be no other way to word it since everyone needs a wide a range of iPod battery power draws. Anyone that’s ever used a mobile device knows that battery life varies depending on what you’re doing with the device. The iPad is no exception so... no big deal. Especially since this iPad battery review is about how to boost the existing battery. However, we should say that continuously use of Apple iPad Bluetooth keyboard, while playing music with the Bluetooth headset, cut the iPad battery life nearly by about 1/2.

The Brunton Impel 81-000019 145 WH 81-000019 rechargeable battery is a very cool compact portable device that Brunton just came out with. The additional 145 WH of energy will add about 38 hours of additional off-grid use of the iPad (Again, depending on what you are using the iPad for). You might remember from high school physics that when comparing battery capacities what really matters is watt hours, which is arrived at by multiplying ampere-hours and voltage. The Brunton Impel portable battery has a capacity of 145 watt-hours. That’s enough to light a 100W bulb for over an hour, or to boil 3 cups of water which is an incredible amount of energy for a small lightweight portable battery like the Brunton Impel.

Charging the iPad batteries takes some time. The 10 Watt standard power adapter will power the iPad in about 3 hours which is quite a bit faster than charging via USB from a laptop. There have been some reports of the iPad failing to charge when plugged in via USB. MacWorld offers a good overview of what's going on, mainly that some older, lower-power USB ports just don't have the juice to power the iPad. Suffice it to say that the 10 watt USB charger is your best bet for recharging in a hurry.

Though, in the interest of full disclosure we have not officially test the theory, charging the iPad from the Brunton Impel should be at least comparable to the 10 watt iPad power adaptor if not better. Amps X Volts = Watts. Brunton Impels' output set at 12V (output is adjustable) is 3.2 amps (3,200 mA) 3.2 amps x 12 volts = 38 watts. The energy capacity of a battery is usually expressed indirectly in ampere hours; to convert watt hours (W·h) to ampere hour (A·h), the watt hour value must be divided by the voltage of the power source. This value is approximate since the voltage is not constant during discharge of a battery.

The Brunton Impel has multiple adaptors that come standard. If we attach the extra battery to the USB port and then surf, the Brunton Ipel with a rated energy capacity of 145 Wh adds another 45 - 55 additional hours of usage to the iPods' standard 8 - 10 hour battery.

Charge the Brunton Impel internal rechargeable lithium polymer battery at home or in the car and then head out on an off-grid outing with enough juice to recharge your handheld devices.

Battery can be recharged from a home electrical outlet, car's power supply (adapter not included), a computer's USB 2.0 port or with a Brunton solar panel (sold separately).

Monitor your power usage with the LED display. 5 LEDs indicates 80 - 100% power remaining; 4 LEDs indicates 60 - 79.9%; 3 LEDs indicates 40 - 59.9%; 2 LEDs indicates 20 - 39.9%; 1 LED indicates 0 - 19.9%.

Automatic shut-off turns off the Brunton Impel when the charging of your iPad or other electronic device is complete.
