A typical battery pack is a plain and bulky accessory that does one thing: charge your phone. That’s it. The Power Pack Micro can do that, but also help you find your keys or phone. First and foremost it can provide up to 7 hours (1500mAh) of extra life when you need it, and it looks good doing it. You can get it in 8 colors, and it has a handy clip and with detachable cap so you can hook it to your keys or bag.
That’s where the Power Pack Micro stops being a typical battery pack. With the built-in Motorola Keylink feature you can press a button on the Power Pack to find your phone, or use the companion app to find the Power Pack. Manufacturers have tried making cheap “Find Me” devices like this, but they lacked the extra functionality of a battery pack. Plus, if the Power Pack Micro is connected to a Moto phone it disables the lockscreen.
The Power Pack Micro is available right now from Motorola.com for $39.99. It is currently available in violet, royal blue, turquoise, lemon lime, and dark canvas. Are you buying one?
