Samsung launches Animal Edition Battery Packs to raise awareness of endangered animals
It isn’t often that you can accuse Samsung of being warm, fuzzy and that it’s products are cute, but perhaps this is as close as a giant tech company can be described as such. As part of the Samsung’s ‘Charge the Life’ campaign to raise awareness about endangered animals, a range of battery packs has been announced that each carries an illustration of an endangered animal on the front.
The smaller battery pack has a capacity of 8,400mAh and should be good to recharge the Galaxy S6 more than 3 times. The larger 11,300mAh battery is said to be able to charge the Galaxy Note 4 battery twice over, with power to spare. Each battery pack can charge two devices simultaneously, and there is a clear power level display as well. The 8,400mAh pack is available with either a lesser panda or fennec fox illustration while you have the choice of either the giant panda or golden monkey with the larger battery pack..
Samsung has also released an interactive app imaginatively called ‘Charge the Life’ that will react to the mobile device being charged with a selection of animations and cute sounds. The closer the mobile device gets to full capacity, the more cheerful the endangered animal becomes. There is a download link below.
In case you would like to find out more about the 4 endangered animals feature in this range of battery packs, I’ve included some details below:
- Lesser Pandas are around 42 inches long and weigh 10 pounds (4.5Kg), featuring a long, bushy tail. There are fewer than 10,000 adults and the species is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
- Fennec Foxes are a small nocturnal fox hound found in the Sahara of North Africa. They are classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
- Giant Pandas are one of the most popular animals and a national treasure in China. There are fewer than 2,000 giant pandas alive in the wild and are listed as Endangered on the list.
- Golden Monkeys have a golden-orange patch on the upper flanks and back. They are also listed as Endangered on the ICUN List due to the gradual destruction of their habitat.
