The pocket-sized devices, charged with 100% renewable energy, aim to help keep smartphones powered up and connected during worker shifts.
Lifesaver has already provided 1,000 power packs from the first round of fundraising, with devices delivered to hospitals in London, Surrey, Hampshire, Yorkshire and Cheshire.
Nic Verneuil, marketing director at Nissan Motor (GB), says: “Nissan and Lifesaver have previously partnered on numerous occasions to promotesustainable solutions. When this opportunity came to assist frontline workers, we didn’t think twice. For those working in high-pressure hospital environments without much downtime, keeping a phone topped up is a challenging but essential need.”
Designed originally to support commuters, office workers and event attendees from running out of smartphone power, a Lifesaver power-bank has a capacity of 5000mAh.
Archie Wilkinson, co-founder and CEO of Lifesaver, adds: “Many frontline workers are on their feet all day and therefore need a portable power source to stay charged up and connected. We have launched Lifeline To The Frontline to help medical professionals stay in touch with their family and loved ones during their long shifts in the fight against Covid-19.”
Members of the public can also donate the cost of a power pack (£10) through the campaign’s fundraising page.
