Patriot Suite - Fuel+ & Tiny OTG USB Drive - CES 2014

The Patriot Suite coverage at CES 2014 focuses on Patriot’s Fuel+ external power banks and the new Tiny OTG USB drive, highlighting both ongoing and new features. The host explains that Fuel+ models include higher capacity options with 2.1 amp and 1.2 amp charging ports on select models, enabling faster charging for tablets and smartphones, especially devices that support higher amperage charging. A key feature is power pass-through, which lets users charge the Fuel+ itself from wall power while simultaneously charging connected devices, so a whole set of gadgets can be prepared overnight. Patriot has refreshed the Fuel+ lineup with a broader color palette including blue, pink, green, and yellow, in multiple sizes to fit different needs. In addition to Fuel+, Patriot introduced Fuel Active variants, such as a compact aluminum 2000 mAh unit with USB ports and a built-in flashlight, a rugged 6000 mAh unit with an integrated cable and a high-current 2.5 amp output, and a larger LED display bank on the side of the rugged model. There is also a new Fuel+ iPhone power case for the iPhone 5 that doubles battery life without much extra bulk, which also supports power pass-through for convenient charging. The segment emphasizes practical use cases, like charging on the go, camping, and ensuring devices are ready in the morning, closing with thanks to sponsors and a call to subscribe for more CES 2014 coverage.
