Abstract

A mobile charging device includes an outer casing, an internal power circuit, an input port, and at least one output port. The outer casing includes substantially square front and rear panels connected by a central portion, and has rounded corners. Inside the outer casing, the internal power circuit includes a power supply and a control circuit. The input and output ports are designed to interface with several different types of connectors. In this manner, the mobile charging device has a compact form factor and a large charge capacity.

Claims

1. A mobile charging device, comprising:

an outer casing including a substantially square front panel, a substantially square rear panel, and a central portion having four faces, wherein the outer casing has rounded corners and encloses an interior space;

an internal power circuit disposed in the interior space and including a power supply and a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is configured to provide a variable output current from the power supply;

at least one input port; and

at least one output port.

2. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein the internal power circuit comprises a plurality of parallel circuit boards with a gap therebetween.

3. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein the internal power circuit is configured to provide power pass-through from the at least one input port to the at least one output port.

4. The mobile charging device of claim 3, wherein the internal power circuit is configured to prevent data pass-through from the at least one input port to the at least one output port.

5. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein the at least one input port includes a low-current input port and a high-current input port.

6. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein the at least one output port includes a two-amp, five-volt USB port and a two-amp, twenty-volt USB port.

7. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein the outer casing includes a notched corner between the central portion and one or more of the front panel and the rear panel.

8. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein more than one face of the central portion includes an output port of the at least one output port.

9. The mobile charging device of claim 1, further comprising a push-button power switch.

10. The mobile charging device of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of indicator lights.

11. The mobile charging device of claim 1, further comprising a removable rubber ring configured to surround the central portion and cover the at least one output port.

12. The mobile charging device of claim 11, wherein the removable rubber ring includes at least one opening, and is further configured to be rotated between a first state where at the least one opening is aligned with the at least one output port or the at least one input port, and a second state where the at least one opening is not aligned with the at least one output port or the at least one input port.

13. The mobile charging device of claim 1, wherein the outer casing has outer dimensions of smaller than 90 mm×
