Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
Digital now there are some similarities between what we're going to show you
here in The Patriot suite at CES and what we showed you at computex last year
so we showed you the fuel Plus at computex and that's available in a bunch
of different capacities it's external you know on the-go power for your
tablets and smartphones okay we've heard all this before but fuel plus does
actually have a couple of unique features so number one is that the higher capacity models have 2 and 1 12
amp charging ports meaning you can charge your devices particularly hyraw
ones that support it like tablets a little bit faster than even a 2.1 amp CH
uh charging port and the second thing is that they have their power pass through
feature that allows you to charge not only the fuel plus by plugging it into
the wall but also the connected devices so you can just plug the whole swack of
things into the wall at night before you go to sleep and then it'll all be charged up when you're ready in the
morning now they've updated fuel Plus to add more colors so now we have blue pink
green and yellow in several different sizes and capacities and that goes along
with of course the existing white ID they're also adding fuel active to the
mix so that's available in a couple of different configs number one is this
little aluminum job right here that I believe is a 2,000 milliamp battery it's
got your USB ports on the one side and it's got oh hey a flashlight look at
that on the other side so you can actually use it to charge your devices on the go or as an emergency flashlight
if you're camping because you know fuel active obviously the intention is you're
active we've also got a rugged one this is a 6,000 milliamp power unit and it's
got an integrated cable so you can use that one in order to charge a device or
it has a separate 2 and a half amp output so the little guy the 2,000 mamp
doesn't have that so that's got the high amperage output it's also got like kind
of a ruggedized case and then last but not least let's see if I can there's
like there's like a trick I think you have to like double click it or something oh this one's probably not
charged anyway it has an entire Bank of LEDs on the one side here and that one's
a dummy as well causing all kinds of trouble we'll get some b-roll of that
all right next up we've got something that's completely new this is the fuel
plus iPhone power case so it's for the iPhone 5 and it adds about a doubling in
terms of overall battery life to your iPhone without adding too much extra
bulk it's not something that we've never seen before but it does have their power
pass through feature which is again a very useful feature so thanks for
