| Description: | Half the charging time you are used to Only a short layover at the airport? Or a quick break in between meetings? No problem. In just 30 minutes you can recharge your notebook to 80% capacity again! The time to get a cup of coffee and a sandwich and you are good to go for the entire second leg of your flight, whether you need to write e-mails, work on that spreadsheet or just watch your favorite movie. Battery capacity for the entire life of your notebook Forget being forced yet again into buying a new notebook battery. Not only does Sonata last you the lifespan of your notebook (on average 3 years), but it also offers you the same, unwavering capacity of a new battery that entire time. This means you can work and play; you can enjoy the hassle-free dependability of that 'new battery' feeling every day you use your notebook. Non-negotiable safety For Boston-Power safety is not negotiable, nor an item to be traded for added performance. That is why we use less reactive chemicals and apply multiple redundant protective controls. The product has been designed to meet and beat any safety standard it has to comply with. Sonata is recognized under the Component Program of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL). To receive component recognition, UL requires that lithium batteries pass a number of tests during which the batteries are exposed to abusive environmental, mechanical and electrical conditions. So yes, your notebook can remain switched on day and night and your children can play games without you having to be around or worry. What's more, the way our batteries are designed and manufactured also fosters a cleaner environment. More run time with a single charge for the entire life of your battery Introducing Sonata - the first battery from Boston-Power's proprietary lithium-ion technology platform. The only battery to match the lifespan of a notebook computer, Sonata delivers a 50% faster recharge time to laptop users while solving today's frustrating battery fade problem. Leveraging a whole-systems approach, Boston-Power provides OEMs access to an unparalleled innovation team with a novel approach to battery products, rapid prototyping, manufacturing and quality control. Assurance of safety underpins our entire product portfolio. |
