As a gamer in my mid-30’s, I’ve spent a lot of time traversing the worlds that have been created by Bungie: From Myth II: Soulblighter to Oni, and of course, countless hours in Halo and in Destiny.

With the ability to go from 0-100% in under 30 minutes, the Apollo Ultra could change the game for portable batteries.
