Multi-Purpose Freecharge Weza unleashes the power of the imagination!
Power for literally any compatible device, whenever it is needed, is now available on the move with the new FreeCharge Wezaô portable energy source from Freeplay Energy Plc - a world leader in self-sufficient and clean energy sources.

The Weza genuinely changes perceptions of what is achievable without mains power. With its ability to accept 110V to 240V AC and DC inputs and a 12V output rating capable of 400 cold cranking amps, the unit is able to power a huge range of compatible 12V DC based electronic devices such as a mobile phone, PDA or a handheld GPS. In an emergency situation, the Weza is also capable of squaring up to some demanding and power hungry applications too such as powering a laptop computer, search light or even jump starting a car or motorboat.

Incorporating a purpose-designed foot pedal and corresponding, folding stabiliser arm the Weza's internal, sealed battery can be charged efficiently using human energy for totally dependable power and reassurance. It is also possible to charge the unit using mains power before leaving home or by wind or solar options for additional peace of mind and emergency preparedness. Where space or storage is an issue, the fact that the foot pedal and stabiliser collapse, enabling the product to be stowed away in a water resistant carry bag is a definite plus for boating or camping situations.

Rory Stear, Executive Chairman, Freeplay Energy plc heralds the FreeCharge Weza as one of the most significant products that the company has produced, helping to apply stored self-sufficient energy to an increasingly broad spectrum of scaleable power applications. He comments: "With a Weza, the user literally has all of the options. The product is relatively light and compact but capable of delivering a really serious power output when needed. It is the perfect complement to the existing Freeplay Energy range and incorporates a great deal of our very best technology in one appliance. We are very confident of the productís uptake in the sporting and leisure arenas, as well as applications in the developing world, and will be of great interest to retailers."

The name Weza can be loosely translated from Swahili as 'to be powerful and in control of situations'. The recommended retail price for the product in Europe will be £199.00
