Overview
The way PRSRV works is very simple: you connect your USB cable to PRSRV while charging your phone. Once your mobile is fully charged the electric supply stops going to the phone & starts PRSRVing the energy within the power bank. PRSRV also has an ejectable credit card shaped battery that fits inside your wallet thus making it the first power bank in the world that can be used in two different locations simultaneously!

PRSRV is an 8,000 mAh power bank that you connect your phone with overnight instead of a normal mobile charger. Once your phone is fully charged the electric supply stops going to the phone and is redirected to the power bank. This preserves your battery life and keeps your phone from draining even faster over time.

PRSRV also has an ejectable credit card shaped battery that can be used away from the main power bank. This means you can take PRSRV where ever you go.

PRSRV is first power bank in the world that can be used in two different locations at the same time.

Do you charge your phone overnight?

Busy schedules force us to charge overnight, in turn causing damage to the battery and wasting electricity. Our current chargers are inefficiently charging our phones. The most efficient way to charge your phone is to unplug it when it is fully charged. The other way is using PRSRV.


Apple and Samsung both recommend taking off your phone cases while charging your phone – a highly inconvenient practice. The phone cases restrict the flow of heat and cause even more inefficiencies. PRSRV prevents overheating issues but redirecting electricity.

PRSRV stores surplus electricity for use later on. No other product effectively handles the problem of electric leakage while a mobile remains plugged in. 

Did you know?

Energy efficiency must be both large and small scale to overcome the biggest problem of our generation, the energy crisis.

Portability of PRSRV's removable battery:

If you are traveling and need lots of extra charge you can take the entire power bank with you, or, on a regular day you can eject the smaller, credit card shaped battery and carry it in your wallet.

and use it conveniently when you need to.

This feature makes PRSRV the first power bank in the world that can be used in two different locations at the same time. The removable battery can be used on its own, you can share the power bank with friends and family.

These days people carry way too many things, power banks and a bunch of wires...

PRSRV is simple....

1) You simply connect your phone through the USB cable into PRSRV.

2) PRSRV sits between your phone and the power source.

PRSRV does the rest...

Here's a breakdown of the perks you can choose from when you support this campaign (select your perk from the sidebar at the top of this page).

We are confident you will be able to enjoy PRSRV with your family and friends without a hitch. However, to cover our valued customers from any unlikely and unforeseen manufacturing defects or faults, every PRSRV comes with a 2 year warranty. 

A) One day while Hamza was forced into sitting next to a charging socket to charge his phone during the day he realized how inefficient this practice was in this high tech 21st century. He then pondered why this was not an issue for people and came to realize most people charge their phones overnight. Research led him to him believe there was no efficient way to charge your phone overnight unless one plugged the socket out in the middle of the night. His quest to start working on this idea ended in this first proof of concept working prototype.

B) Over the course of the next 6 months a team was formed and the conclusion was reached that educating consumers on this uneconomic and wasteful habit of over charging phones overnight would not be enough to get consumers attracted. After over fifty ideas considered to incorporate in this power bank; the team finally pivoted and decided to include an ejectable battery to carry just the right amount of charge with them - which according to research was 30%.

C) Over the next year the idea went into development and incorporating both an eco-friendly algorithm and the right amount of charge for a person to carry in the day. Our design experts came up with the most optimal solution. A credit card shaped battery that could be ejected out of the main power bank providing the optimal amount of charge to get by the day.

D) We hired the best product designers and indulged in different researches to provide the most optimal design for our consumers. It was this hard work and endeavor shown by the team that managed to help us raise our seed round of funding.

E) Our highly qualified research, development and design team have finalized the PCB's, schematics and components of PRSRV.

F) Final appearance of PRSRV 

With the help of our manufacturing partners we currently have a working prototype and we're now focused on:

  • Finalizing the engineering schematics for the final product
  • Getting product certifications
  • Tooling

We will soon begin the process of:

  • Designing packaging
  • Designing the supply chain process
  • Materials procurement
  • Production

PRSRV was created with the environment in mind, together our collective effort at the macro level can help address the energy crisis. PRSRV's energy efficient design also allows users to save money on electricity bills and phone replacements by preserving battery life. 

With PRSRV you are getting portability that no other power bank offers. Users can travel with the larger power bank which provides multiple full charges, or on a regular day use the removable credit card battery for convenient charging on the go. 

Do you remember the time someone borrowed your phone charger or power bank to charge their device? Wasn’t that annoying? PRSRV’s removable battery can be ejected and given to a person without needing to have them sit in the same vicinity. 

Why would I buy PRSRV over any other power bank?

PRSRV is a first of it’s kind power bank that uses eco-friendly technology to not only charge devices but prolong battery lifespan. PRSRV's energy efficient design protects mobile’s battery life and prevents overcharging by automatically cutting off electricity to the mobile once it is fully powered. Surplus power is then directed to charge the back up power bank, reducing energy consumption and efficiently charging first your mobile and then PRSRV.

PRSRV is the first power bank in the world that can be used in two different locations simultaneously, it includes a charging station as well as a removable battery that functions as a charger on the run!

When is PRSRV expected to ship?

PRSRV's estimated shipping date is end June. Depending on your address your PRSRV's should reach your addresses by July.

How will my order be shipped?

Depending on your location, your PRSRV will be shipped to you using different couriers. We will provide a shipping notification and tracking information for each order. Due to the changes in courier regulations on lithium battery products, our shipping methods are subject to change.

How can I get in touch with your team?

If you want to get it touch with the PRSRV team for anything to do with the campaign, send us an email over to info@innovation-101.com or reach out to us on our social channels. We will be happy to help.

Why have you partnered with Indiegogo?

Partnering with Indiegogo allows us to kick start our production & get PRSRV to customers quicker than traditional methods.  As an international platform, Indiegogo can also get us exposure to customers across Europe and the U.S, which is important to us.

Why is there a delay from purchase to delivery?

We are a small company without limitless access to finance to build a supply of stock.  By supporting us through our campaign, you will help pay for our first full production runs which we will ship to you as soon they’re ready on a first come, first served basis.

What will happen after the campaign?

PRSRV will be retailing at $99 after the campaign through our website - www.innovation-101.com. We will advise on delivery times for those orders at the time.

How much will PRSRV cost to buy on Indiegogo?

The sooner you buy, the less you pay!  We will be using a tiered pricing structure throughout the campaign with an initial price of $49.  Don’t worry though, for those of you who are a little late to the show PRSRV’s final campaign price will still be lower than the RRP after the campaign concludes.

I’m having trouble making a payment. Who should I reach out to?

We’re sorry to hear that! If you’re having trouble making a payment, please reach out to Indiegogo’s Customer Happiness Team at support@indiegogo.com. One of their payments specialists will be able to assist you within 24 hours.

If I have questions, how can I reach your team? 

Please read through the FAQ first to find your answer. We are receiving a lot of special requests, and are responding as fast as possible! 
For questions related to the Indiegogo campaign, you can contact support@indiegogo.com. 
For all other questions regarding PRSRV, contact us at info@innovation-101.com.

Does PRSRV come in any other colors?

PRSRV is currently only offered in one color.  Since the beginning of the campaign we’ve received suggestions for additional colors of PRSRV. Initially, our production capacity could not allow us to entertain the idea of offering new colors, but the success of the campaign could make it an option.

As we don't want to slow down production of PRSRV, we will initiate research for different colors after the campaign and will keep you updated on our progress and timeline for production.
