As our product is a new one, so there is no specific secondary data for us to use. Nevertheless, we found some articles about backpacks that include chargers, even if the product has a different concept the main idea is the same, and we can use these opinions as guidelines for our business.

The first one is an Article griten by Seth Weintraub in which he explains the function of the backpack, but also gives some suggestions to improve it.

Review: Powerbag by ful is a device-charging backpack that looks too good for a geek

“Over the past month, I’ve been carrying around a Powerbag backpack from ful. The idea is pretty straight-forward. They put a 3000 mA battery inside a backpack complete with adapters for just about any device you’d ever want to charge. On heavy usage days, I have a mobile charge with me at all times. Instead of taking out all of my devices when I get home, I just plug in the bag.

Sure you could just buy a $42 5000mA USB Battery and pop it in your regular backpack and you’d get some of the same functionality as the Powerbag. But in this Powerbag, it is all integrated. Nothing to lose and everything is organized.

The battery sits in the front pocket and can be removed and charged externally, though I’m not sure why you’d want to (it is light enough not to notice when carrying around). Then, adapters run into a side pocket where you can fit small stuff like an iPhone or camera. In the main compartment, there is a 2.1A USB port for quick charging tablets or bigger devices like an iPad or Kindle.

The backpack comes with a 3000 mAh battery, with additional batteries (6000 mAh, 9000 mAh) available for purchase separately. I found the standard battery was able to charge up an iPhone 4 about twice or adds 5 hours of use to an iPad (about half a charge). It also has a powerful 2.1A internal USB adapter for quick charging the iPad vs. the slow charge you get from most USB batteries. What’s probably the best part of this bag is that you can just leave your devices (up to 4) in your bag when you get home and just plug in the bag. That saves some hassles.

It isn’t just a power plant, either. The Powerbag is also a well built, incredibly well designed backpack with lots of internal pockets (more external would have been helpful) which rides on your back very comfortably. The bottom is ruggedized, there is a front external pocket on the strap and there is lots of cargo space to go around. The material is strong, the sticking is industrial and the zippers are high quality.

This thing is great all around but there are some things that could be added/improved upon. Here’are some suggestions for v 2.0:

• Solar! Obviously you aren’t going to fill up a 3000mA battery in a day but it would be nice while camping (or in a pinch) to have
