This could well be the smallest uninterruptible power supply ever — someone merged a 5,000mAh battery with a plug and added rather useful charging protections to produce a nifty gadget that's very different from your standard powerbank

Elecom DE-AC08-5000.

Japanese electronics firm Elecom, best known for inventing the first-ever oval mouse in 1988, has launched a new device that marries an AC charger with a mobile battery to produce an incredibly versatile power station.

The DE-AC08-5000 is ultra-portable, with a slim design that can easily fit into small bags or pouches. It has both a 5,000mAh battery and a plug, and supports USB Power Delivery 20W, allowing fast smartphone charging to ensure you never run out of battery unexpectedly.
