If you’re planning on going off-grid and exploring uncharted terrain, you’ll need rugged powerbanks that can take a few knocks as well as have enough power to keep your devices juiced up during your excursion.
NRGVault has unveiled two powerbanks – the NRGVault Outdoor Activity Powerbank and the NRGVault Solar Outdoor Powerbank – that target this audience.
