Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for
0:05
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western
0:09
Digital now there are some similarities between what we're going to show you
0:12
here in The Patriot suite at CES and what we showed you at computex last year
0:16
so we showed you the fuel Plus at computex and that's available in a bunch
0:20
of different capacities it's external you know on the-go power for your
0:24
tablets and smartphones okay we've heard all this before but fuel plus does
0:28
actually have a couple of unique features so number one is that the higher capacity models have 2 and 1 12
0:33
amp charging ports meaning you can charge your devices particularly hyraw
0:37
ones that support it like tablets a little bit faster than even a 2.1 amp CH
0:42
uh charging port and the second thing is that they have their power pass through
0:46
feature that allows you to charge not only the fuel plus by plugging it into
0:50
the wall but also the connected devices so you can just plug the whole swack of
0:53
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
0:58
morning now they've updated fuel Plus to add more colors so now we have blue pink
1:03
green and yellow in several different sizes and capacities and that goes along
1:09
with of course the existing white ID they're also adding fuel active to the
1:13
mix so that's available in a couple of different configs number one is this
1:17
little aluminum job right here that I believe is a 2,000 milliamp battery it's
1:21
got your USB ports on the one side and it's got oh hey a flashlight look at
1:25
that on the other side so you can actually use it to charge your devices on the go or as an emergency flashlight
1:31
if you're camping because you know fuel active obviously the intention is you're
1:34
active we've also got a rugged one this is a 6,000 milliamp power unit and it's
1:38
got an integrated cable so you can use that one in order to charge a device or
1:43
it has a separate 2 and a half amp output so the little guy the 2,000 mamp
1:46
doesn't have that so that's got the high amperage output it's also got like kind
1:50
of a ruggedized case and then last but not least let's see if I can there's
1:54
like there's like a trick I think you have to like double click it or something oh this one's probably not
1:58
charged anyway it has an entire Bank of LEDs on the one side here and that one's
2:02
a dummy as well causing all kinds of trouble we'll get some b-roll of that
2:07
all right next up we've got something that's completely new this is the fuel
2:11
plus iPhone power case so it's for the iPhone 5 and it adds about a doubling in
2:17
terms of overall battery life to your iPhone without adding too much extra
2:20
bulk it's not something that we've never seen before but it does have their power
2:24
pass through feature which is again a very useful feature so thanks for
