More choice in portable power.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.     With smartphones and tablets getting more power hungry all of the time,  finding spots to plug in to stay charged can be a challenge.   Especially in cities…when you may not have a car…or in the great outdoors.    That has helped the market for portable batteries to grow and MyCharge has been among the leaders.   VP Julie Pickens…

“I think what really sets us apart are a few things.  One is reliability, safety, quality of our products.  We build all of our products with five layers of battery protection.  We have a lot of unique features.  We have built in cables and we really take a look at the individual and how they charge, what they need it for and we build products around their lifestyle.”

With some of the new big screen phones and tablets, users are running into issues trying to stay charged with older portable batteries and car charging solutions.   There’s more info at MyCharge.com.  You can find us at BootCamp.com.  I’m Fred Fishkin.
