About Zendure
Zendure was founded in 2013 with the goal of elevating the standard of consumer electronics. In their desire to develop and maintain a close relationship with their customers, they decided to use crowdfunding to raise the necessary capital to bring the A-Series External Battery to life. Their campaign quickly reached its fundraising goal and ultimately brought in over $200,000 USD to jump-start their new venture.
SuperTank is the culmination of Zendure’s research and experience up to this point. It is a high-capacity portable charger that delivers enough power to charge the latest laptops and can sustain a smartphone through a week of typical use after being charged for just one hour. SuperTank has many other useful features that emerged from careful consideration of consumer expectations and usage patterns, including pass-through charging, a low-power mode for compatibility with wearables, and an LED status/charge display.
