Recently my husband went to China. This was his first time in that country so wasn’t sure what to expect as far as power goes. In addition, he has a 14 hour flight to endure. Instead of just praying that his iPhone and iPad would last through the flight, and hoping that the electrical outlets would be compatible with his electronics, my husband took my Duracell PowerMat with him.
All you have to do to use the PowerMat is pop the wireless care on your phone, then plug it in. Now you’re ready to drop and charge any of your enabled devices. The PowerMat comes in different sizes for different spaces and needs with mats to charge 1, 2, or 3 devices at a time. This unique setup allows you ditch the tangle of wires so you have a a single wire that can charge multiple devices.
In addition to the PowerMat and Wireless case that come with the iPhone 4/4s 24HourPower System you also get a Power on the Go portable backup battery. This backup battery provides up to a full extra phone charge to power you through your day, and is compact enough to fit your pocket or your handbag and comes with integrated Apple® 30-Pin and micro USB connectors. Same as a phone, just set it on the PowerMat when you need to recharge, and you are good to go!
Maybe you are planning on going camping though and you won’t be able to charge your phone for a couple of days? Don’t worry! The Long Haul Battery has enough power to provide up to four phone charges; enough to keep you going for days. It doesn’t just charge phones though, its also powerful enough to charge tablets too. The Long Haul Battery features dual recharging options. You can recharge the battery through traditional USB or for ultimate convenience, you can recharge it wirelessly on your PowerMat.
See For Yourself How it Works:
Drawbacks: There aren’t a lot of drawbacks to the Duracell PowerMat, but there are a few minor ones. The biggest problem I had was the case. I had had an Otterbox on my phone before, because I can be pretty clumsy with my phone sometimes and lets just say that I haven’t broken just one screen! Unfortunately the Duracell PowerMat case wont fit under my other case. It would be nice if you could use the PowerMat but still you your own cases.
The only other drawback is that right now the PowerMat is only available for iPhone and Samsung products. Luckily, we have an iPhone so we are good, but if you have any other brand you are going to have to wait a little longer until more phones are added to the list.

Um… all the time! But probably at the airport, or a Disney trip when you’re gone from an outlet all day long.
It would come in handy when all my kids visit with their phones, ipads computers etc
We have so many in the family any time would be good 🙂
It would come in most handy when we go to a motel.
at work and when traveling since there are never enough outlets!
This would be perfect for my husband for long trips, at teh office or when we are away from power supplies.

This would be perfect when we travel!
Any more with all we have, it would come in handy every day.
This would be perfect for the weekends were away from home and not near an outlet!
At night when we are all coming home from ball games (because for some reason all of our phone die at once). Thank you
The Duracell Powermat would be very helpful when my husband, daughter and I all want to charge our electronic devices at the same time.
