External power source for MacBooks

With this clever add-on, you can multiply the uptime of all your MacBooks currently on the market.

In order to achieve longer battery life, notebook manufacturers have been constantly improving the batteries used in their machines for years, but the extra capacity achieved in this way is in most cases lost on the altar of increasing device performance. As an additional solution, companies optionally offer higher-capacity batteries for their products, but most of them require significant investment, and on the one hand, they even degrade the aesthetic value of the machine with its significant physical size. However, there is also a workaround for the problem, an external battery pack: the solution, called HyperMac, can only be used on MacBooks, but its various versions cover the entire product line. Available in four different capacities (60/100/150/222 Wh), the device is compatible with the MagSafe connector used on Apple machines, which is also interesting because the company has not outsourced its manufacturing rights. Nevertheless, according to Sanho Electronics, the manufacturer of the product, the solution used is suitable for charging any MacBook, and its built-in USB port allows the device to charge any suitable device. Devices with lithium-ion batteries can also be used as an inverter, meaning that they can be connected to the car's cigarette lighter to power the MacBook from the vehicle's electrical system, while also allowing the built-in battery to be recharged. A colored LED helps to check the current charge level.

The HyperMac isn’t cheap fun, as it costs nearly $ 500 to ring for the largest capacity model, though, so in exchange for that amount, even the largest MacBook Pro can easily reach 26 hours of uptime! The table below provides a quick overview of the full product range.
