Sony has just unveiled a couple of new portable USB chargers, the snappily titled CP-A2LS and CP-ELS. The CP-A2LS comes with a 4000mAh capacity and includes two USB outputs, so you can charge two devices at a time. The device has four LED battery indicators to easily tell when charge is running low.
The CP-ELS is smaller and comes with 2000mAh capcity, which should be enough for a single charge of your Xperia smartphone. Both models can be fully charged via an AC outlet in around six hours. Also, a low self-discharge rate means that even after a year you should still have around 80% of your initial charge left. Pricing remains a mystery, but both models should be available from the beginning of November 2011. Click through for the full specs.
