18 - 21 minutes is the normal charging time, it just depends on how much you have already depleted the battery.
The SIMPIZ also features QC 2.0 output speed to charge QC-compatible phones quickly and easily.
SIMPIZ has an amazing versatile and convenient hub + dock station that allows you to recharge the SIMPIZ while simultaneously charging multiple devices , like your smart phone and tablet. With the hub + dock’s three output ports to charge all your devices, it keeps everything all in one place and reduces outlet use. All your cables and devices will be neatly placed on a surface thanks to SIMPIZ. Lost cables and dead phones will be a thing of the past.
Instead of fiddling with cables the SIMPIZ hub + dock only takes a quick second to plug in. It's simple and efficient. The dock also features a blue light indicator that blinks while charging and turns solid when the SIMPIZ is fully charged.
Safe to use for charging SIMPIZ and your phone.
SIMPIZ is also one of the longest-lasting batteries, double the cycle life of standard portable batteries. We use special high-efficiency battery cells that are able to handle the power of DUBI 1.0™ and QC 2.0. The result is a speedy two-way charging not found in other chargers.
These special battery cells are similar to those used for electric cars like Tesla.
The smart DUBI 1.0™ technology also protects SIMPIZ and the smartphone to ensure a safer charge. When SIMPIZ is used to charge your smartphone, DUBI 1.0™ will optimize the charging so your smartphone gets the fastest charge allowed. Of course, SIMPIZ won't be able to charge your smartphone in minutes, but it can be more efficient.
It protects against 8 things that worry people the most - overheating, short-circuiting, overcurrent, undercurrent, overcharging, input overvoltage, and output overvoltage. It also maintains dynamic equilibrium.
What is DUBI™?
DUBI 1.0™ is a state-of-the-art chip developed by Simpiz R&D Power Lab. By using this chip, SIMPIZ is able to reach 100w output power and charge fast and steady, while controlling the charging heat.
How does DUBI™ work?
The special DUBI™ chip precisely optimizes four channels of electricity flow, thereby decreasing the electricity load on each battery cell. Essentially, it is capable of charging faster under the same battery cell load situation.
Only The Beginning
SIMPIZ is just the beginning. DUBI™ will change the way we use devices forever. One minute to charge a smart watch; three minutes to charge a smartphone; 10 minutes to charge a car — this is not a dream, but a reality made possible with DUBI™ technology. Daily tasks will become much more convenient than you have previously imagined.
From the activation light to the grooves and angles of its exterior, its design reflects a modern look that is as sharp and sleek as your smart phone. We've also made the design communicate with users -- SIMPIZ hub + dock comes with a blue light that lights up when it's still charging and when SIMPIZ is fully charged, the SIMPIZ's four little battery life indicator lights will shine. With a quick glance, you can easily tell the status of the recharging.
SIMPIZ spent considerable time on design engineering, to ensure a precision instrument for the modern world.
Included with SIMPIZ are the portable charger, hub+dock, hub+dock power cable, micro-USB cable and manual.
Note: The power cable will come in two versions: one compatible with Europe and one compatible with U.S.

Campaign Questions
If Simpiz does not reach their crowdfunding goal, will you still send us the product?
Yes, even if we don't reach our goal, we will still send SIMPIZ out to everyone. We appreciate the support given to this product and we do not want to let our contributors down. :)
Product Questions
What is the difference between the 7600mAh and 9000mAh SIMPIZ?
Both SIMPIZ are of equal dimensions and appearances, and the charging techniques they use are identical as well. The only thing that differs the 7600mAh from the 9000mAh is that marginally smaller capacity of batteries are used inside the 7600mAh SIMPIZ to lighten its weight. Most importantly, it also takes amazingly 18min or so to charge a 7600mAh from depleted to full.
Which phones are compatible with QC 2.0?
Although SIMPIZ does not use Qualcomm's QC 2.0 chip as the output, it uses a chip similar to QC 2.0 and will be compatible with phones that use Qualcomm's QC2.0 chip. To find out if your phone has that Qualcomm QC2.0 chip, please check here: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/devices/all?feature=Quick%20Charge%202.0.
How large is SIMPIZ?The SIMPIZ measures is 5” x 2.9” x 0.9” .
Can SIMPIZ do flow-through charging?
No, we do not recommend doing it because it's not safe. As an alternative, we created a hub + dock so you can charge multiple devices + SIMPIZ at the same time. However, using a regular micro-USB charging cable to charge SIMPIZ then attaching a phone charging cable to charge you phone at the same time is a bad idea.
How long does it take to recharge the SIMPIZ?The standard recharging time is 18 minutes to fully recharge the SIMPIZ. However it may take 21 minutes if the wall outlet's voltage that SIMPIZ's dock + hub is plugged to is inconsistent.
Is the QC port compatible with iPhone?QC isn’t compatible with iPhone, that’s why it takes 1 to 1.5 hours to fully charge an iPhone. But if iPhone used this technology, it would be fully charged in a few minutes.
What’s the capacity of the SIMPIZ? Why can’t it be larger?The SIMPIZ has a capacity of 9000mAh. We are trying to make the capacity as large as possible, while keeping it pocket-sized. Therefore, 9000mAh is the ideal capacity.
What’s the total amps it holds?SIMPIZ can hold 5 amps.
How does the battery remain undamaged with such a fast recharge? Wouldn’t it heavily degrade over time?SIMPIZ uses a special DUBI™ chip, which allows it to fully recharge in 18 minutes, yet without harming to the integrity of the battery. SIMPIZ also uses a high-efficient lithium battery that is able to handle the 20V of charging that the SIMPIZ can provide. DUBI 1.0™ optimizes the charging through four channels and protects against the overcharging, overheating, undercurrent, overcurrent and maintains dynamic equilibrium.
Will this charge my iPhone really fast?
Unfortunately, no, because the speed of charging a cellphone depends on the capability of the phone. For safety reasons, we only optimize the recharging of the SIMPIZ. As an alternative, we’ve made SIMPIZ speedier so at least you won’t have to wait for it.
How much battery capacity is SIMPIZ?SIMPIZ has 9000mAh, which means it can fully charge an iPhone 6s three and a half times.
What is SIMPIZ’s battery life cycle?
SIMPIZ has a battery life cycle over 1,000 recharges.
Shipping Questions
When can I expect it to be shipped?The first batch of SIMPIZs for campaign backers are expected to ship around August 2016. We will keep campaign contributors updated with our progress on a regular basis.
Why is shipping to certain countries so expensive?We've tried to have the shipping cost for every country be as low as possible. SIMPIZcomes with a hub+dock and the portable charger itself so the packaging might be slightly bigger than typical portable chargers that don't come with a dock. We have made the packaging as minimal as possible to cut down the cost without compromising protection.
How much does the package weigh?Total:28oz (794g)
SIMPIZ portable charger: 9.4oz (267g)
Dock: 10.2oz (290g),
Dock Cable:0.8oz (23g)
micro-USB cable:1.9oz (54g)
Packaging:5.6oz (160g)
Are there any countries you cannot ship to?Yes, unfortunately, we are not able to ship to Croatia and Guadeloupe.
