Home-and-portable battery Mango Power Union launches for $2,799 featuring world’s first built-in dual PV Inverter

0

Mango Power Union, the most sought-after battery system of the year, will be available for purchase on November 23rd through Indiegogo.

“There are three things that have made Mango Power Union the most awaited product of the year for the home energy industry: It’s a two-in-one solution. You don’t need to pay twice to get a home and a portable energy system. Its capacity remarkably exceeds that of other solutions in the market, ensuring a robust and long-lasting energy coverage. Last but not least, it has the world’s-first built-in dual PV inverter, which promises some of the fastest charging speeds in the market, either through AC wall outlets or solar panels” says Steve Wang, CEO of Mango Power. 

As it’s customary in this category, sales open to consumers through offerings in Indiegogo. The super early bird price announced by Mango Power is a very competitive USD $2,799 for end consumers. For wholesalers, distributors and installers, inquiries can be made to sales@mangopower.com 

After this landmark launch, Mango Power will follow up with 3 additional products from its ecosystem in the upcoming months, Power Move, Power Home, and Power Home mInverter, setting itself to become a go-to renewable energy brand for consumers, providers and installers.

MangoPower Union: A long-term investment against power outages and towards the future of energy 

When looking at all the different home power options available in the market, specs vary a lot depending on the price. However, the Mango Power Union is a truly versatile unit that can solve a lot of different power needs at once, with a very attractive price.

Home and Portable, all-in-one approach: Beyond Power Outages

Power Union, the flagship product of challenger brand Mango Power, is a modular power station consisting of two parts: a large, heavy-duty home base and a smaller, detachable unit designed for portability. This one purchase can comprehensively solve not only outage scenarios but also the need for portable energy during leisure time as well as solar power energy storage.

The smaller module – “Power Move”–comes packed with an impressive 2,000 watts of power and 2,300 watt hours of capacity, and is designed to be carried wherever you might want power. When attached to the heavy-duty “Power Home” base module, they form the Mango Power Union and are stronger than any portable power station you can find on the market today. The Power Union also impressively integrate the backup gateway and dual PV inverter in the device. 

This combination of portability, heavy-duty power delivery, and ease of use make the Mango Power Union significantly different from any other modular portable power station currently on the market. When the family is out of power, you can use the main module alone or attach the power move to bring 4,000W/6,900WH emergency power to the family, enabling devices such as refrigerators, kitchens, heating or aircons to work as usual.

Hands-on Energy:  An app tracking energy performance and your environmental footprint

One aspect that makes Mango Power Union stand out from the competition is the rich amount of power data you can track with their app. Available for iOS and Android, you can track:

  • Available power
  • Charging rate
  • Temperature
  • Charging mode

Apart from that, the application has a series of social functions, such as a leaderboard sharing function that will allow you to compare how sustainable you are compared to other users of the app.

The app is also able to give you environmental data that allows you to track your environmental impact footprint. It displays the conversion of solar energy in KWh, Carbon emissions expressed in tons and tree planting equivalents thanks to the partnership of Mango Power Union with One Tree Planted. The app also estimates how much you’re saving by utilizing solar power, if you choose to do so, in comparison to just using the grid. 

Superb Design – Ultra-desirable looks add value to an ultra functional device

The way that most power units look like out there is rather clunky. Mango Power Union is the only product of its kind that makes an impact and leaves a strong impression with its design looks. 

Union focuses on tasteful design as a core element from the user experience. Apart from a modern look that can blend in most households, light indicators also have light pilots that provide information about your power situation.

All in all, combining the versatility of the product with its superb design and intelligent functionality thanks to the app, we can argue that Mango Power Union is an essential purchase for those who are looking at a long-term solution for all their power needs. Mango Power Union will be available on super early bird price for USD2,799 through Indiegogo. You can get more information on their website

Ball Hero is a promising game but it’s not even halfway finished

What starts out as a fun, promising game quickly becomes broken and incomplete. Ball Hero has the looks and the premise but the game is literally not ready for release. Hear what Scott thinks of the free game that snuck out in the middle of the night.

There’s a lot to like about the first few moments with the game but the enthusiasm dies before you know it. Perhaps this game was never meant to see the light of day — at least not yet.

BLUETTI Deals: The best Black Friday deals to power your home

0

Bluetti has some mind-blowing Black Friday deals on offer this year! Save hundreds on some of the latest solar generator technology deals out there.

As Black Friday is soon to arrive this November, it comes as no surprise that people around the world are hard pressed at searching for the best deals out there. 

For homeowners, vanlifers, RVers and campers, Bluetti has something special planned and we are sure our solar generator deals will be sure to impress. 

This Black Friday, Bluetti is offering the biggest discounts on their entire product line, they have ever offered.

And these three deals are the best on offer:

For the homeowner looking for unlimited power:

The Bluetti AC300 & B300 Portable Power Station

(Starts at $2,999 (originally $3,698) — save up to $4,000 with bundles)

A 100% modular power system, the Bluetti AC300 and B300 battery modules are some of the most popular solar products on the market. 

Each AC300 can accept up to four external B300 batteries packs, bringing the systems overall capacity to a whopping 12,288 Wh! 

Good luck running out of power… 😉

The major benefit of owning a modular solar generator comes down to portability. In the past, transporting that much power was a tedious task, if not impossible for some. Now, Bluetti has paved the road of innovation, making the transport of vast amounts of power, not only easy, but possible. 

The B300 battery modules use top-of-the-range LFP (lithium ferrophosphate) cells, making up 3,500-plus life cycles. In other words, some of the longest lasting solar generators on the market today. 

Furthermore, the AC300 can be charged with both AC and solar simultaneously, whilst being connected to two B300 battery modules. Additionally, the Bluetti AC300 also allows for the connection of the new Bluetti Fusion Box Pro, which will double the voltage, power and capacity up to 6,000W, 240V, and 24,576Wh.

For the unexpected power outage:

The AC200MAX & B230 Portable Power Station

(Starts at $1,899 (originally $2,099) — save up to $2,600 with bundles)

The Bluetti AC200 MAX the all-round upgraded version of Bluetti’s long-loved classic model, the AC200 (which was originally launched on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo).

The new AC200 MAX is powered by a 2,048Wh LFP battery, but can also take up to two external batteries including the B230 or B300, adding up to 6,144Wh with 2×B230’s, or 8,192Wh with 2×B300’s

The AC200MAX can also be charged quickly up to 80% with direct sunshine in around 2 hours.

For the perfect camping trip:

The Bluetti PV120 and PV200 Portable Solar Panels

(Up to 20% off — save huge with bundles)

Portable solar panels are great partners for portable battery power stations when wall outlets are far out of reach. 

The Bluetti PV120 and PV200 are foldable solar panels specially designed for campers, van dwellers and for small/medium-size off-grid solar systems. 

Bluetti’s PV120 and PV200 solar panels are made with monocrystalline solar cells that are arguably the most effective solar cells available on the commercial market today.

This is largely due to their ability to produce a high amount of clean power even when sunlight is at its truest form. 

With greatly improved shading performance, the PV120 and PV200 won’t significantly loose efficiency when part of the solar cells are blocked by any shadows, trees or any other sun blockers.

MediaTek unveils the new 5G Dimensity 9000 for flagship devices

0

Taiwan-based MediaTek has taken the wraps off its new Dimensity 9000 chipset for 5G flagship devices. The new flagship SoC (System-on-chip) has an octa-core CPU (one Cortex-X2, three Cortex-A710s, and 4 four Cortex-A510s), a 4nm manufacturing process, and a Mali-G710 GPU.

MediaTek’s new chipset is looking to make a more even playing field with the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. According to rumors, they feature the same octa-core setup as well as the same GPU power.

The Dimensity 9000 Details

MediaTek’s new chipset is built off the ArmV9 architecture and supports LPDDR5x at up to 7500Mbps. The SoC supports up to 320MP cameras and has enough power to capture 4K HDR on three cameras simultaneously

The SoC consists of a Cortex-X2 operating at up to 3.05GHz, 3 Cortex-A710s that operate up to 2.85GHz, and 4 Cortex-A510 efficiency cores.

If you thought 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz looked great in your hand, wait until you see the next-generation stuff. Gamers will enjoy the new Mali-G710 processor and tech that supports up to 180Hz full HD+ displays. It’s also capable of WQHD+ resolution of 144Hz refresh rate. It is capable of raytracing using Vulkan for Android.

All of this is a fancy way of saying that your video playback, game experience, and mobile multimedia are set to take a big step forward.

Other notable features are Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 6E 2×2, sub-6GHz 5G, and 3CC Carrier Aggregation for downloads up to 7Gbps.

World Firsts

Expected to hit consumer devices some time in the first quarter, the new chipset is packed with a number of “world first”. Among them are the first mobile processor with a 320-megapixel camera, a triple-exposure camera with 18-bit HDR, and 8K AV1 video playback.

Moreover, it is the first to have a 3.05GHz core, Mali-G710 GPU, and an AnTuTu benchmark score of more than one million. And then there’s also Bluetooth 5.3, and other connectivity firsts as well.

Given that MediaTek has so many hardware partners in the smartphone space, it won’t be long before the handset announcements begin. Based on its current standing we expect to see players like Oppo, Vivo, realme, Xiaomi, and OnePlus stepping up first. Then, depending on how the US market shapes up in 2022, we could also see familiar brands like Samsung and Motorola locally.

The new MediaTek SoC Dimensity 9000 is shaping up to be a very exciting release. Let me know which flagship device should go for this new SoC instead of a Snapdragon SoC.

Boost Mobile launches the Carrier Crusher plans

0

This holiday season, Boost Mobile is coming out swinging. Beginning today, Boost looks to empower consumers with their first-ever plans to utilize the AT&T network. Boost Mobile’s new Carrier Crusher plans are here to show that Boost isn’t messing around.

The new plans take aim at the 85% of Americans who use under 10GB of data per month. Although most Americans don’t use more than 10GB of data a month, almost half of them are on unlimited plans. Boost plans to target those consumers who are paying for services that they don’t need.

Carrier Crusher Plans

  • For $100 a year, Boost will give you unlimited talk and text as well as 1GB of 5G/4G data.
  • For $240 a year, Boost will give you unlimited talk and text as well as 15GB of 5G/4G data.
  • For $25 a month, Boost will give you unlimited talk and text as well as 5GB of 5G/4G data.
  • For $15 a month, Boost will give you unlimited talk and text as well as 2GB of 5G/4G data.

Boost Mobile’s Carrier Crusher plans do not include taxes.

Boost Mobile was purchased by DISH when it entered the cellular marketplace in 2020. DISH is currently building out their own 5G network but operates off AT&T’s network for the time being. In time, DISH plans to cover the country with its own 5G network. Being new to the market, DISH may be looking to beat the UnCarrier T-Mobile at their own game.
