SANYO North America Corporation, an energy and environment conscious company reportedly announced the introduction of “eneloop music booster,” which is a rechargeable DC 9V battery unit for music devices.

 

Company sources added that the eneloop music booster rechargeable battery will be available in late spring this year at music specialty stores in the U.S.

 

“We are committed to providing energy and environment-related solutions for professionals and consumers, and the eneloop music booster allows us to do both in one package,” said an official from SANYO.

 

The eneloop music booster was displayed at the NAMM Show 2010, a musical instrument trade show last week.

 

Power is an important requisite for music devices including effects units, amps, graphic equalizers and multi-track recorders which is provided via an AC adapter or a 9V dry cell battery. When musicians are playing with AC adapters they can perform only where electrical outlets are present and still have problems due to noise interference and so on.

 

To eliminate such problems SANYO offers the solution in the form of the ‘eneloop music booster’ which is designed to offer stable, long lasting portable 9V power with a high capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This is expected to promote a music style that matches eneloop lifestyle of reusing and recycling energy for music devices.

 

“SANYO will reshape the way the music industry uses power, by offering our battery technologies like those found in the eneloop music booster for musicians to help them support a lifestyle that values reusing and recycling,” said Tom Van Voy, general manager of the Consumer Products Group for SANYO North America.

 

He added, “We are committed to providing energy and environment-related solutions for professionals and consumers, and the eneloop music booster allows us to do both in one package.”

 

The eneloop music booster provides stable voltage and features a three-stage power indicator which indicates battery level at a glance even during use by means of a LED display of different colors.

 

SANYO sources said that the eneloop music booster is water resistant as well as stipulated by the JIS IPX3 compliance level. This is a Japanese testing standard for water resistance which assures that there will be no damage when sprayed with water in vertical position at angles of up to 60 degrees on both sides.
