About iPowerUp
Built To Stay Connected
iPowerUp began with something simple and deeply personal: a dad trying to stay connected with his four growing daughters. Missed calls weren’t an option. Dead phones weren’t acceptable. And the more he looked around, the clearer it became—everywhere, people were running out of power at the worst possible moments.
So we set out to fix that.
What started as a family-driven idea has grown into a mission-driven company: to keep smartphone and micro-device users worldwide powered-up —no matter where life takes them.
Our Why
Band-Aids Aren’t Good Enough
Traditional backup batteries promise peace of mind but deliver a burden: you have to remember to charge the device that’s supposed to save you. They’re temporary band-aids, not pain-killers. And they fail exactly when you need them most.
- What if mobile power could be self-sustaining?
- What if it could be always available, without the homework of constant wall charging?
- What if it could be intelligent, not just reactive?
Innovation At The Core
Convenience — Backup Power Reimagined
Solar Collection — Free Energy, Anywhere
When wall power fails, sunlight doesn’t.
Our micro-solar technology provides emergency and supplemental charging using free, renewable energy.
We developed high-durability solar micro-modules (see our blog post: Solar Panel Durability: Why Micro-Devices Require Higher Standards) to withstand daily wear, temperature shifts, and IR/UV exposure far beyond common consumer solar accessories.
Power Management — More Mileage Per Watt
Our patented power-management electronics are engineered to:
Capture
Solar Energy With Optimized Efficiency
Store
Energy With Minimal Waste
Transfer
Power Intelligently To Your Phone
Retain
Energy Longer Than Typical Backup (Packs) Batteries
Peace Of Mind Through Intelligence
The iPowerUp App gives users awareness and control that traditional backup devices simply can’t:- Case battery level
- Phone battery level
- Real-time solar collection
- Temperature solar collection
- Alerts for performance, charging, and safety

Doing Our Part
Designed For Performance And Responsibility
Every design choice at iPowerUp is a balance between maximum performance and minimal footprint. We continually push the limits of solar collection, battery efficiency, and rugged durability—while carefully evaluating materials, components, and manufacturing processes to provide sustainability and reduce long-term environmental impact.
Because a product built to last longer ultimately creates less waste.
Packaging With Purpose
Our packaging is made from 100% natural or recycled fiber materials.
It’s designed for:
- Easy recycling
- Simple composting
- Minimal environmental impact
We’re Just Getting Started
The world is becoming more mobile, more connected, and more dependent on personal devices. At iPowerUp, we believe people deserve power that keeps pace.
This is only the beginning.
Much more is coming—and very soon.
