PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Zendure, a Silicon Valley company that specializes in mobile power solutions and flashy aesthetics, has raised over $150,000 USD from 2,000 backers in the first day of crowdfunding for Passport III, their latest travel adapter and "everything charger". With four USB-C ports, a USB-A port, and an AC output capable of delivering up to 65W, the company has branded the travel adapter as an "everything charger".
Zendure, a Silicon Valley company that specializes in mobile power solutions and flashy aesthetics, has raised over $150,000 USD from 2,000 backers in the first day of crowdfunding for Passport III,
Mark Sparrow from Forbes called Passport III "the Swiss Army knife of power adapter" and "the ideal travel companion", citing the new travel adapter’s versatility.
Like previous travel adapters from Zendure, the new Passport III has an auto-resetting fuse and press-and-slide controls for easy one-handed operation. But in this latest offering, the company has departed from the subdued charcoal and white exterior to add some fun and nostalgia to the design. With a metallic ombre faceplate and translucent enclosure, Passport III evokes design trends from the mid ’90s and early 2000s.
While the outside of the new travel adapter is a throwback, the inside is 100% modern. The primary USB-C port can deliver up to 65W, enough power to charge an iPhone to 50% in under 30 minutes or fully charge a 13 inch MacBook Pro in just two hours. Passport III uses GaN semiconductor technology to achieve high conversion power in a small form factor without overheating.
Passport III is, ostensibly, a travel adapter. After all, it works in over 200 countries and regions, with a variety of connectors and compatibility with a broad range of voltages. But Zendure has positioned their newest product as an "everything charger", with the potential to replace numerous proprietary charging bricks, whether you’re in the home office, at the coffee shop down the street, or halfway around the world.
Zendure’s Passport III travel adapter is now selling on Kickstarter, with shipping planned for April of this year.
