Duracell Powermat Keep Attendees' Phones Charged Throughout CES 2014

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CES -- Having attended CES for the past several years and witnessed first-hand the angst and frustration of attendees unable to maintain their phone's battery power throughout the show, Duracell Powermat will demonstrate how easy can it be to charge your phone wirelessly in public places.

"It's truly a win-win situation for us and the thousands of attendees who will be at CES," said Mr. Poliakine. "Everyone loves Starbucks coffee and everyone loves having their phones powered up!"
