RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Current mobile phones use more battery power for all of the applications and the battery life of the phone is depleted rapidly causing the need to recharge the device more often. Typically a person does not carry a charging device or a wireless speaker with them and if so they often may not have access to a power outlet. The present invention for charging mobile phones in public places will offer a much-needed convenience.
CHALLENGE: The main obstacle was to get the highly restrictive UL certification keeping the ergonomically adequate dimensions for a portable product and its multi functionalities.
