Omnicharge has built their name on reliable, smart charging power and now they’re back with a huge power bank – the Omni Ultimate. This whopping 40,300mAh capacity power bank is the largest battery allowed on aircraft. Good news for those road warriors, frequent fliers and Pokémon Go addicts, the Omni Ultimate can charge up to five devices at once and has FAA approval.
With its 120W Pure Sine Wave AC outlet, you can charge your laptop, or indeed anything with a plug. It also has adjustable voltage and amperage on the DC output – an industry first. No more hunting for multiple wall-warts, you can use the Omni Ultimate to run/charge them all. USB-C and two Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 USB ports round out the options.
This is a big battery, here’s how you recharge it
You can recharge from the wall, or just leave it in the sun as Omni Ultimate has a solar panel. That’s great for recharging your drones off-site, your cameras, heck even your phones. There’s an OLED display that lets you monitor everything going on in real-time, and it’s splash and dust resistant. It’s also ruggedized, so daily wear and tear shouldn’t be an issue. It comes in at a healthy 3.1 pounds.

As devices become more powerful, they require a higher capacity battery strength and that’s what we’ve developed with the Omni Ultimate.

The most robust portable power source available just launched on Indiegogo with an MSRP of $599. Currently, you can snag an early bird discount which makes the Omni Ultimate $325.
