There were a ton of fantastic products on show at CES 2014 in January, many of which have us really excited about 2014 and beyond. One product that drew a lot of attention was the Modulo expandable portable battery created by IDAPT Barcelona, which was so innovative that it was awarded the Best of Show award in the iLounge section at CES. The basic concept behind Modulo is the ability to adapt your battery charging capabilities to your current situation and be able to have a modular battery system. As the next step to bringing Modulo to the world, IDAPT Barcelona has just recently launched their Kickstarter campaign; you can check out Modulo’s pitch video below:
As you can see, it’s a pretty impressive product concept; I particularly like the ability to stick the Modulo to the back of the device you’re charging. In fact, after just 2 days, Modulo has already hurdled its $30,000 target with 34 days to go, and looks like it has the legs to go a long way further too. Probably the best thing about Modulo is its incremental pricing: the full system of 5 Modulo units will provide 10,500mAh with each Modulo contributing 2,100mAh at $20 a pop. While it’s not the cheapest option for that much power on the market, no other portable battery pack offers as much flexibility as Modulo. In terms of output, you will be able to contribute a extra 1.2A per Modulo for a maximum output of 2.4A through one unit. For example, having 3 Modulo stacked up, this will give you a maximum of 3.6A available with the possibility of a 2.4A output and one 1.2A output (or three 1.2A outputs).
If you are looking at contributing to the Modulo Kickstarter, you can make your pledge on their campaign page here. Let us know what you think about IDAPT Barcelona’s product in the comments below
