Shell’s suite of tools and accessories get you ready for any drive

Published

on

My love for Shell and sustainable energy began six years ago, when they released the Make The Future campaign.

I played their ads on loop, starting to understand their energy initiatives. All while I sang along to “On Top of the World” and “Best Day Of My Life” performed by various artists.

On my last day at COMPUTEX 2024, I stumbled upon TennRich Corporation. The company is an official Shell product licensee, showcasing its power supplies by grilling a BBQ inside the Nangang Exhibition Center.

Hanging around at the seemingly BBQ indoor party, I got to learn that Shell’s products have expanded to power banks, wireless solutions, and on-the-go lifestyle products.

Power Supply Stations with Solar Charging

Shell currently has a lot of portable power supply stations applicable for various situations. For most people, it’s used for camping to supply all the power needs when outdoor.

Each portable power supply has a high power capacity while still weighing only 8.9kg. It’s designed to be portable and easy to store or hide, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space.

Since it has an all-around use, it works as a charger for drones, electric scooters, home and car appliances within 1100W, and even medical equipment.

Some models also have support for solar panel, continuing Shell’s initiative for renewable energy.

For your on-the-go lifestyle

As an energy brand, Shell has various charging cables and wall chargers that suit different sockets.

They also come with car chargers so you can power your devices while in transit.

For those stationed in front of a desk, Shell has a 100W GaN Desktop Charger with multiple ports.

And of course, what’s an energy brand without a power bank?

Ready for any drive

As a trusted brand for most motorists, Shell’s suite of automotive tools are my new favorite devices. This portable air compressor has a small, carry-on design that uses an intelligent electric pump. It automatically stops when full!

It’s particularly helpful as a rescue tool for those using a motorcycle or bike in an island.

When driving a car, Shell also has a portable power jump starter in case of emergency. It supports power for 7L gasoline vehicles and 3L diesel vehicles, and features an SOS light display.

It’s housed inside a travel bag for easy carrying, and you can stash it easily with other emergency tools.

Now, there’s a 4-in-1 portable air compressor and jump starter for those who want it all.

There’s also a car vacuum to keep your vehicles clean!
