A TRULY 'SMART SUITCASE'

The holidays are a time for travel, and long waits in terminals, and smartphones going dead while you wait.
    
This is very where the Carry-On and ‘Bigger Carry-On’ suitcases made by Away Luggage make such good sense.

The reason: Each Carry-On/Bigger Carry-On comes with a removable, 37-watt rechargeable lithium battery. (It also has an unbreakable shell, retractable handle, and four wheels for easy rolling on terminal floors.)

The USB ports on the Carry-On’s battery (which can be accessed from the top of the suitcase) can charge any smartphone, tablet, e-book, and anything else that uses a USB-compatible cord. The battery comes with its own micro-USB cord and wall adapter for charging. A full charge takes up to eight hours. According to Away, one battery has enough juice to charge an iPhone five times, “and an iPad more than once.”

The Away carry-on battery can be left in your suitcase, or removed for use in the aircraft cabin; all with the blessings of the FAA and other aviation regulators. (Away says that both sizes are small enough to be taken on-board airplanes.) If you check your bag, you will have to take the battery with you.  ​
