Romoss — Freedom to Travel, Anytime, Anywhere
In our fast-paced and incessantly interconnected world, it can be difficult to keep up with you laptop or phone battery levels. The last thing you want to do is get stuck on a business trip or on an expo floor with no way to contact anyone for help. Enter Romoss. The company has created a range of unique products suited to various digital devices — smartphones, iPhones, laptops and tablets, among others. The Romoss Sailing 5, which I had the privilege of playing with, is a high-performance external battery with a simple but much-needed function: to charge your device to full capacity while you’re on the run.
The Sailing 5 came to me at a particularly good time. My husband was leaving on a trip to Johannesburg and needed a charger he could use anywhere. So I packed the sleek, white Sailing in for him. Let’s just say he was pretty impressed with it on his return.
Not only is the charger an ideal size for popping in your handbag or carry-on, but its intelligent sleep mode eliminates the need for cumbersome buttons and helps reduce power consumption when not in use. Another great thing is its convenient size and shape. It is roughly the same as a high-end smartphone (with a few extra ounces), and has a single micro USB input port and two USB ports which also double as the Sailing’s internal charger.
When it comes to functionality, the Sailing 5 packs some serious punch. Armed with an original Samsung cell that guarantees longevity, its rapid charging function reduces the charge time of any given rating by 50%, which essentially doubles the portable power supply’s efficiency. To break things down, I managed to charge my phone, my husband’s phone and our portable wireless router at least three times before the battery gave out. And this was in the space of a couple of days while the Sailing’s power wasn’t even at full capacity. It also incorporates IR adaptive charging technology, which means that the power supply is compatible with most digital devices with a 5V DC input.
If that isn’t enough, the device offers protection from a range of everyday electrical problems we simply cannot control. These include over-discharge, overcharge, over-power, over-current, overvoltage and short circuit protection, ensuring everything you plug into the ports will be super safe all the time. Plus, with such a wide range of Romoss chargers available in SA through companies like Syntech, it’s not at all difficult to get your hands on one.
And the final verdict is…
If you’re a regular traveller with multiple business trips, international expos, trade shows and beyond, the Rosmoss Sailing 5 is definitely a gadget worth investing in.
