Skiva SmartQuad is back! Yes you guessed it right, we are back on Indiegogo after a successful run on Kickstarter but you must be thinking why?
Well due to overwhelming response and suggestions on Kickstarter, we decided to do a second run on Indiegogo for those who missed out on this amazing opportunity last time. That’s not all, this time we are offering SmartQuad with Bundle Packs and a huge reduction in International Shipping from $25 to $15.
When you have an offer such as this, why miss out on it!
Why SmartQuad is best travel charger in World?
Compact, lightweight & easy to carry.
Charges up to 4 devices at fastest possible speed. (4 x2.4 Amps Ports)
Can charge virtually any smartphone, tablet, Bluetooth headset, GPS or any other USB based device irrespective of manufacturer.
Safe and quiet. (fan-less)
Built on solid experience of a highly successful Kickstarter project.(OctoFire)
Why we designed it?
With increasing personal & professional needs, now everyone needs multiple gadgets like smartphones, tablets or PC etc. We do purchase those gadgets to satisfy our needs but keeping all of them charged is a chore, especially during travel. Carrying multiple chargers is no fun and limited AC sockets can be annoying when multiple devices need to be charged.
There are many other chargers present in the market but they are not as smart. SmartQuad is unique because it can detect connected devices and output the optimal amount of current.
Earlier on Kickstarter we delivered a very successful 8-port charger product (OctoFire). OctoFire is a perfect solution for the desk, office, conference room, restaurants, charging stations etc., but in mobility it may not be the best.
We listened to our OctoFire Kickstarter backers and designed SmartQuad based on their feedback. Below are the key differences from OctoFire:
AC/DC adapter & charger unit are merged into a single unit to make it travel friendly.
Ports have been reduced from 8 to 4 to make it more affordable, lightweight and compact.
Per port current has been increased from 2.1 Amps to 2.4 Amps.
We started out by experimenting with intelligent detection of devices to optimized charge current. We also designed AC to DC unit as efficient as possible taking advantage of latest power IC technology. This enabled us to make a design that does not need a fan to cool it even at peak loads.
We are in the final stages of production of our first batch of SmartQuad to fulfill the rewards of our Kickstarter SmartQuad backers.

With our past experience of delivering OctoFire successfully and as we are near to shipping the first batch of SmartQuad, we are very confident to mass produce second batch of SmartQuad by November 2014. We have already confirmed with our supplier for the availability of components. Below is our timeline of production:
