Kodiak Mini 2200 and Kodiak Plus 10000
Building on the success of the Kodiak 6000, Outdoor Tech is launching the Kodiak Mini 2200 and the Plus 10000. These bomb-proof battery packs are fully waterproof (due to a silicone outer shell and cap) and very resistant to trauma due to drops or falls. While I can’t speak to the new versions – the Kodiak 6000’s 2.4A USB output is capable of charging my iPhone 5s three times from nearly dead.
Check out the new versions and maybe score a deal, or even a Buckshot (Outdoor Tech’s versatile bluetooth mini speaker) for backing the indiegogo campaign.
