Need a companion for your waterproof iPhone case? New Trent has recently unveiled a unique accessory – a rugged external battery pack.
The 12,000 mAh PowerPak Xtreme weighs in at only 9 ounces, but it can recharge a completely dead iPhone 5s around eight times and double the battery life of a third-generation iPad.
Dual USB ports also allow users to charge two devices at one time.
And the battery pack is designed to weather extreme environments. With a durable, matte exterior finish, the PowerPak Xtreme is waterproof when submerged in 3 feet of water for up to an hour.
The thermoplastic casing is also built to withstand drops of up to 3 feet.

You can snag the PowerPak Xtreme for a very reasonable $59.95 on either Amazon.com or New Trent’s site.
That’s easily one of the best values I ever seen for such a large battery pack. The rugged and waterproof design is definitely another plus, and users should be able to take it pretty much anywhere outside without having to worry.
