SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. -- A company called MTI MicroFuel Cells announced a new fuel cell charger called Mobion, that will give you up to 25 hours of power for recharging cell phones, iPods, digital cameras or whatever gadgets need charging. The company claims it's the world's first with a removable cartridge.
According to the company, you can charge a cell phone ten times on a single charge. The Mobion charges pocket-size gadgets, and itself fits into a pocket. It's powered by a 100% methanol fuel-based chip, and is based on the proprietary intellectual property of a whopping 110 patents.
MTI MicroFuel Cells says the Mobion should ship by the end of next year. But a recent company regulatory filing says they have funds to survive only until the end of January unless they stop funding the fuel cell product (all current revenue comes from other business). The company gets funding from Samsung, and that company could inject more cash into MTI, or pursue an acquisition.
