As seen on the Discovery Channel and Today Show you can Save Money and Energy with the award-winning EcoStrip 2.0 USB Controlled Power Strip. Now On Sale At DepotEco.com, EcoBatteries.net and ProBattery.pro

The EcoStrip acts as a normal power strip/surge protector for your computer and peripheral devices – with one important difference: when the computer is turned off, power is shut down to the peripherals. Simply plug the EcoStrip 2.0 USB Controlled Powerstrip into any PC or Mac and begin to save instantly. Just turn off your computer and the EcoStrip 2.0 USB Controlled Powerstrip will automatically close the circuits to the five switched-outlets on the strip, eliminating idle energy drain. To turn the switched outlets back on, simply restart your computer. According to the International Energy Agency, the U.S. spends almost $11 billion annually on electricity lost to “Vampire Power”. A computer left on continuously uses 70 to 250 watts – nearly as much power as an energy efficient refrigerator.
The EcoStrip 2.0 USB Controlled Powerstrip is effortless to use, no programming or software required. Just plug your computer into the master outlet on the EcoStrip, plug your peripheral devices into the remaining five outlets on the EcoStrip, and plug the EcoStrip patented USB cable into your computer. Power Down and Save. That’s it! You just helped your pocketbook and the planet. EcoStrip, Inc. is taking an active role in generating conversation and motivating individuals to take action when it comes to improving the environmental status of our planet. If you have a computer, why not make it a green one? The USB EcoStrip 2.0 helps you to conserve electricity by turning power-drawing devices off when you aren’t at your computer.

For Immediate Release: May 30th 2009
We at DepotEco are adding something really exciting to our inventory this summer! We have the honor of being one of the first stores to offer the newest in innovative Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) battery technology from PowerGenix.
In the past few years, interest in PowerGenix NiZn batteries has skyrocketed as their reputation for producing the most reliable, highest quality NiZn technology has grown. Today the company is supplying NiZn cells into multiple markets including power tool, lawn and garden, consumer AA, military, and light electric vehicle (LEV).
In the exciting and quickly evolving world of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), PowerGenix and their NiZn battery technology is being recognized as a game changer and real step forward in terms of efficiency, power, environmental soundness, and cost effectiveness. PowerGenix’s NiZn powered Toyota Prius was showcased at the 2009 San Diego International Auto Show where the advanced battery vehicle was featured in the Eco-Center, the main feature of the 2009 show. As the Prius, the Insight, and other new hybrid cars battle it out for the top spot, PowerGenix’s NiZn technology is finding itself at the center of HEV innovation.
PowerGenix has also entered into a supply agreement with PowerEagle, the leading manufacturer of electric bicycles in China. Under the agreement, PowerGenix will supply its NiZn cells for pack fabrication into the entire product line offered by Veloteq, PowerEagle’s North American sales and distribution partner, beginning in 2009. In many other arenas PowerGenix has seen a great increase in demand and investment and has accordingly begun high-volume manufacturing.
For decades NiZn batteries have been recognized for their usefulness in applications demanding high discharge rate capabilities. With a high energy-density ratio and an open circuit voltage of 1.6 volts they have been heralded as the batteries of the future for high drain applications. Now PowerGenix- an innovative San Diego based company founded in 2000- has developed and is manufacturing patented NiZn 1.6 Volt Rechargeable AA batteries that make NiZn technology more effective, useful and available than ever before.
PowerGenix has improved already efficient NiZn technology by increasing cycle-life, lowering cost, reducing size and weight by 30% and improving low temperature discharge behavior. The small size and low internal resistance of PowerGenix NiZn 1.6 Volt Rechargeable AA Batteries enables the delivery of significantly more power during periods of peak demand than a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery of comparable size.
Another way that PowerGenix NiZn batteries have raised the bar is by their ability to completely recharge in less than two hours and achieve 80% recharge within one hour, a key benefit for cordless power tools, electronics and many other applications. These rechargeable batteries are also completely safe, non-combustible and easier on the environment than other comparable technologies.
Until now, NiZn 1.6 Volt Rechargeable AA batteries have been available only in limited quantities via one camera merchant. But we at DepotEco were so impressed by the efficiency and environmental soundness of these batteries that we were determined to make them available to our customers. We are honored to announce that beginning in late June we will be one of the first stores to carry these amazing batteries. They are now available online and in our brick and mortar store.
