The Maplin "Universal Portable Power Battery" is ultra light, but despite its small size, it packs in enough power to give a vital recharge for most digital cameras. This means that the next time you're taking pictures of a gorgeous sunset and your battery dies, you can simply plug it in to this device for an instant surge of power.
Set to become a favourite with professional and amateur photographers alike, the portable power bank has an adjustable output voltage of 3V to 9V, allowing the user to select the appropriate voltage for the camera being charged. The 49.99 price tag includes a mains power supply and a cigarette lighter lead so that you can recharge your camera whilst travelling or once you've reached your destination. It also comes complete with a sleek carry case, which slides on to your belt or waistline of your trousers, perfect for photographers on the go.

The Maplin Universal Portable Power Battery weighs in at just 200g and its dimensions are 135 x 45 x 31mm, so it will easily fit into a briefcase or handbag.
