SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Jackery, a provider of premium rechargeable battery products for mobile devices, announced on Thursday the launch of the Jackery Bar and Jackery Mini batteries.

With 120 hours of extra operation time and a weight of only 5.4 oz., the Jackery Bar is the world's smallest power bank with 2.1A output operating at 5600 mAh. The bar is fast-charging, and ideal for users that need a powerful and compact mobile charging solution. It retails for $39.95 on Amazon.com.

The 2600 mAh Jackery Mini weighs less than three oz. and is currently the smallest external device battery in the world.

The Mini is capable of fully charging an iPhone 5 on one full cycle and currently retails for $29.95

Each Jackery device features a durable aluminum case, which can sustain the rigors of frequent travel. The products hold their charge for up to six months due to the company's unique power lock technology, which allows the batteries to operate in a standby mode for up to six months.
