The outstanding team behind Forwrd is located in the lovely Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Sofia is considered a central hub for technology innovation and entrepreneurship in Eastern Europe. Our team comprises of design visionaries, hardware geeks, marketing gurus, sourcing experts, and...a dog. We are fascinated by the extend of technology penetration in people’s lives and how the same technology help our lives be a bit better and easier every day. Our mission is to bring simple and unique technology solutions to you that are both beautiful in design and great in functionality.
Here is what George, the co-founder and Business Development guy of Chargest, says about the idea and the product:
“I am an adventurer by nature and travel abroad often, both on business and pleasure occasions. I always bring lots of gadgets with me, including two phones and a laptop. During one of my trips abroad I said to myself - what if I could charge all these with just ONE device and also no longer bother about the outlet standards around the world? And that's how the idea of Chargest was created!”
Chris, our co-founder and Technical Adviser, also says:
“We designed and engineered Chargest with the typical user in mind - the traveler, the family man, the business person, the student, the list goes on and on. We create our products to be easy to use and to solve the everyday problems of our users. Chargest is the typical example of this!”
We are hustlers, that are never satisfied with little and always strive for more. Chargest is only the beginning of our entrepreneurial journey, there is much more to come from Team Forwrd! Please back us on IndieGoGo if you wish to see more great products like Chargest come to life!

After a year of hard work and dedication, Chargest is complete and ready to go into mass production. Our team has done its best to minimize all possible risks and to create contingency plans in case anything goes not as planned. Our final prototype is working smoothly, the beta testers love it and that gives us great hopes for the future. As soon as the campaign is successfully funded, we are ready to proceed into mass production in a couple of months time.
We identify several production related operations that may lead to delays in shipping of perks:
- Delays in the sourcing of input components and materials
- Delays in obtaining product certifications risk due to technical time requirements
- Delays in shipping due to scale requirements for international shipments
Please note, that for the purposes of manufacturing, slight delays in the products sizes may occur. We believe that we have developed a well-engineered and quality product, so we are offering a 1 year limited warranty for all of our backers. We will provide continuous and on-time updates for all of you and keep you in the loop with all developments of Chargest!

Product Functionality:
Q: How do I install and turn Chargest on?

- Plug Chargest to the socket outlet
- Connect the device you want to use to Chargest
You are ready to Go Chargest!
Q: How do I use the interchangeable power plugs?
A: All 4 interchangeable power plugs are safely located in the top 4 storage compartments on the back side of Chargest. You need to simply take the one that you need, depending on the country and electricity standard you will use Chargest in, attach it to the power connector below and close it with the UK prong.
Q: How do I use the Pin Adapters?
A: The Lightning and USB-C Pin Adapters are safely located in the bottom storage compartment on the back side of Chargest. You need to simply take them out and connect them to the Integrated MicroUSB Pin Connectors. The adapters automatically make a solid connection and you can start charging your device.
Q: What devices can be charged with Chargest?
A: Our product is an niversal charger, which means it support MicroUSB, Lightning and USB-C standards. All devices using one of these 3 charging standard are supported by Chargest. These include all newest Apple devices (iPads included), Samsung, LG, HTC, Kindle, and many, many more!
Q: Will Chargest work with my iPhone 4/4s or older versions?
A: We've eliminated the old Apple 30-pin chargers, however you can still plug your old charging cord into one of the 3 available USB 3.0 ports and stay fully charged!
Q: Will my smartphone have enough stability when plugged into the Integrated Pin Connectors?
A: Yes, absolutely! We have rigorously tested our prototype for months and no signs of instability were shown. The connection to your device, between the Pin and Chargest is tight so our Pins are designed to be both firm enough to fully support the mounted device and are flexible to facilitate easier dismount as devices are put on and taken off. Even our Beta testers were impressed with the stability of the Chargest Integrated Pins!
Q: If I load 6 devices (fully-loaded) on Chargest, would that be too much weight?
A: If the wall power outlet is correctly fixed in the wall there should be no difficulties. We did many tests with fully-loaded configuration and had no problems at all.
Q: I use a case for my smartphone, would that be a problem to charge it?
A: There is no such case! Our Integrated Pin Connectors are specially designed with adjustable tip height function, so you can fine-tune the height to be just right for your situation, with or without a case and we fit all but the thickest most industrial cases.
Q: How will Chargest stay current year after year in terms of charging standards?
A: Very simple - with interchangeable adapters. As new technologies roll up, new adapters will be made to accommodate your device. And yes we'll have wireless covered if it ever goes mainstream.
Q: What if I lose my Pin Adapters? Can I buy a replacement?
A: Yes, replacement adapters will be available for purchase. The sleek design of Chargest uses a neat housing compartment at the back side so the unused adapters are stored and easy to find when needed. When future adapters come out they will be available as well.
Q: What is the battery size in the Chargest Bank?
A: Our power bank has a total capacity of 6300 mAh. Put in simple terms, that means you can fully-charge your iPhone or Android smartphone up to 3 times. And all this can fit in your pocket or purse!
