ImpactBattery.com and several of our Goal Zero solar panel and battery products were featured on a segment of Living In Style called "I Gotta Have That". Hosted by Rhonda Castagna, the segment shows how cool and functional it is to use these Goal Zero products and underscored (not in a scary way) how easy it is to have them available in the case of unforeseen disasters like Hurricane Sandy, earthquakes and similar events.

We love these products because they are fun and easy to use for daily living, like when we go camping in our pop-top tent trailer (or even without) and do not have electrical hookups. Check this out:

Hi, I'm Rhonda Castagna, and welcome to this special edition of Living In Style's "I Gotta Have That". Today we have some great products and services to share with you, so let's get started.

Now-a-days, everything we use on a daily basis needs power to operate, from laptops, tablets

If you’re looking for some stocking stuffers or practical gift items for that special person on your list, we have an array of charger, solar and battery accessories that will be certain to be used. Our miscellaneous battery accessories range from battery testers, marine conversion kits, car chargers, volt meters, and adapters. We also have items like quick connect alligator clips, golf cart charger plugs, and cable extensions.

Other handy accessories include rock-out portable speakers, a cordless spotlight, roadside emergency kit, lantern, ionizer air purifier, compact electric jack, high torque impact wrench, flashlight set and much more.

There is plenty of time to order and have your items arrive to your house before your holiday celebration. Not only are our prices and quality great, but we support a charity of your choice with every purchase. So it’s like giving two gifts in one!

And while you are looking, check out our array of batteries, chargers, solar panels, backups, inverters

A futuristic concept called “reverse electrowetting” could change the way we recharge cell phones and other portable devices, but don’t look for it anytime soon.

Engineers are working on a new method to harvest the mechanical energy in our day-to-day strides, meaning they are looking at shoes to serve as a source for powering portable gadgets. The concept would utilize a micro-fluidic device consisting of thousands of micro-droplets that move past a nanotechnology-based film. The motion of the droplets would then be converted into an electric current. The idea is that you would have the energy to power devices whenever you choose to take a “power walk.”

Creators envision equipping special footwear with tiny mobile hotspots that are powered by the electricity-generating shoes. Researchers say in theory the shoes could generate up to 20 watts of electrical power.

While this additional convenience may sound appealing, it will have a long way to go before it is actually on shoe (or electronics)

With today’s overly-hectic schedules and stressed out individuals, leisure time is more important than ever. Doctors will absolutely agree that having a way to forget about work and other lifestyle pressures through relaxation or leisurely fun can help maintain a better level of mental and physical fitness…and make for happier people overall.

And it’s okay to actually schedule in leisure time; in fact, for workaholics or schedule-driven individuals, setting time to enjoy life isn’t just a recommendation—it’s a must! Having a fun escape helps recharge us and make more life meaningful all around.

So what all have to do with Impact Battery? Actually, plenty. Impact Battery is your source for battery power of all kinds, and many of the products we sell are for leisure type activities. One way to keep stress low and to make sure your fun factor remains high is to make sure the battery of whatever equipment you plan to enjoy in working in condition. There’s nothing worse than to plan a day at

We’ve been talking about various battery news and the products we have featured at Impact Battery to keep you powered up with your battery needs. But we sell more than a variety of high-quality batteries for your laptop, scooter, boat, RV, solar needs, wheelchair, toys and more. We also sell battery chargers and even power inverters.

Power inverters convert DC voltage provided by a 12, 24 or 48 volt battery into AC current, which is similar to the current provided through your typical household electrical outlet. We sell both modified and pure sine wave inverters along with DC to DC converters in a variety of performance strengths to meet your needs.

If you’re not sure about inverters, why you may need them, and which performance strength you may need, our website features comprehensive product information to help make your buying decision easier. Not only do we feature the product we are selling with a zoom so you can really examine it more closely, we offer detailed product features,

Why do batteries get old and fail, and is there any way to avoid this? While it would be amazing to have a battery that will last the lifetime of your device or equipment, the truth is that no battery lasts forever. The key cause is sulfation.

Sulfation occurs when the electrolyte solution begins to break down. Sulfur in the solution essentially leaches from the electrolyte and sticks to the lead plates as converted lead sulfuric crystals. These crystals coat the plates and prevent them from doing their job the next time you power up. At the same time, the electrolyte solution becomes weaker because it then lacks the sulfuric acid that has converted to crystals, which then interferes with the ability of the battery to accept, hold and deliver a charge.

Stage One of sulfation may be an initial form that reduces quick starting but will be absorbed back into the electrolyte when charged. With more time, sulfation progresses and a battery may require a greater charge. The final stage is when
