Ascent Solar introduces EnerPlex Jumpr, a multi-purpose battery pack

Ascent Solar Technologies Inc of Thornton, CO, USA, which manufactures lightweight thin-film photovoltaic modules based on copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) using flexible substrate materials, has introduced its EnerPlex Jumpr, a multi-purpose battery pack that gives users the capability to store solar power generated from their EnerPlex Kickr IV solar chargers or from a conventional plug in power source.

The Jumpr product line includes the Model 4400, rated for 4400 milliamp-hours, that can provide about three recharges to your smartphone. It also includes the larger Model 7800, rated for 7800 milliamp-hours, which will charge larger devices such as tablet computers.

"The EnerPlex Jumpr, with its power storage capability and compact design, is a great addition to our recently announced Kickr IV portable solar charging units,” says Ascent's president & CEO Victor Lee. “With these two innovative products everyone from backpackers to road warriors can virtually live life untethered and power their smartphones or other electronic devices off-grid.” 

In line with its previous Kickr IV announcement, Ascent will continue to pledge 10% of the revenues from Jumpr beginning today through the end of the year to support the American Red Cross in the continued recovery effort of Hurricane Sandy.
