ThinkGeek has come up with a huge 9900mAh battery called iGeek, which PhoneArena came across.  iGeek is designed to make power hungry devices run uninterrupted for hours together.  What’s more, the battery can be used to energize both Android and iOS gadgets. In fact, it can power the iPhone and the iPad at the same time.

Most smart devices including tablets and phones are power guzzlers. High-end applications like those centered on gaming and social networking use up a lot of battery power. As a result, most users have to keep an eye out for their devices’ batteries and keep charging them repeatedly. ThinkGeek has come up with the iGeek as a proposed solution to this universal problem.

 iGeek adds up to 50 hours of video viewing time to a device. On the iPad 2, it can add up to 17 hours of viewing time. The battery costs $62, approx. Rs. 3200/-, and is available from ThinkGeek. iGeek might just be the best power-saving solution in the tech world right now. The only catch is that it is bulky to carry around but as long as users don’t mind keeping their devices attached to its big frame, even that feature can be overlooked.

The iGeek’s popularity is a sure sign of things to come in the near future. Other power-saving solutions are certain to follow in its footsteps. Smart device manufacturers themselves might solve the batter issue with stronger, more capable internal batteries. Till then, the iGeek is here to stay, ready to solve all your battery woes.
