After a major weather event – whether a tornado, a hurricane, or even just a strong thunderstorm – you may find yourself unexpectedly off the grid: power is often the first victim of\u00a0bad weather. Of course, you’ll want to know what’s going on around you, and need power to access that information. If you’ve got a generator, you’re in good shape… until your fuel runs out. And if you’re relying on a solar-powered charger<\/a> just to get your phone, tablet, or laptop running, you’re also OK… as long as there’s sunlight available when the battery runs out. \u00a0The best battery charger in such situations would allow for charging regardless of fuel availability.<\/p>\n

If you’re moving and healthy\u00a0after the storm, however, you’ve got all the renewable energy you need for a Go Kin Pack<\/a>. Like some other\u00a0developments<\/a> we’ve covered in the past, the Go Kin Pack harvests kinetic energy – literally, energy created by motion. Take a look at the company’s video overview of the product to see how just by walking, you can keep yourself connected after damaging weather:<\/p>\n
