Going off the grid is a dream many have, yet with all the amazing technology around nowadays, it’s quite hard to detach. Fortunately, an innovative new technology has been created that not only lets us bring our iPhone’s deep off the cliffs of civilization, but can help create your very own miniature smart grid. Here are five things about it that will make Apple fans happy.
1. ALMOST AS TINY AS AN IPHONE
Besides their ego’s, Apple fans love tiny things. All jokes aside, the BioLite BaseLantern is the world’s first flatpack lantern that brings a portable light solution and doubles as a miniature smart grid. It’s just a little bigger than your iPhone but can light large group settings, charge phones, devices and offer powerful real-time analytics.
2. BRING APPLE BACK TO NATURE
Technology and nature are usually seen as separate entities but that does not have to be. Don’t leave your Apple iPhone’s and MacBooks at home, bring them to the great unknown with yours. The BioLite fits in the palm of your hand and doubles as a portable power bank to charge all your devices. One can essentially bring their small home office team to Yellowstone National Park. It brings a whole new meaning to digital nomad.
3. 54 HOURS OF POWER
A weekend usually consists of Saturday and Sunday. That’s 48 hours. Perhaps throw in a couple hours for Friday night as well. Hopefully, when you go camping over the weekend, you won’t be using your Apple devices the entire time. However, if you do, BaseLanter has the power to keep up. Featuring 7800 mAh rechargeable li-on battery, a burn time of up to 54 hours is possible. That’s more than enough to power your Netflix machine nevermind that tiny iPhone for Snapchats of you throwing sticks at a bear.
4. APP PROVIDES REAL-TIME ANAYLITICS
The BaseLantern app for Apple iPhone and Android provides real-time analytics and feedback on battery life. This helps you calibrate energy use to help optimize the amount of juice you’ll need for the trip.
5. IT WILL HELP SAVE THE WORLD
If saving battery life didn’t make one feel good enough, BioLite has a mission to bring safe, affordable energy across to families who are energy starved. They’ve already helped distributed over 15,000 HomeStoves across the worlds and their aid will only increase the more they grow. Buying BioLite is really a win-win situation for all.
