coronavirus pandemic, new work styles and values are becoming established, such as hybrid work and free-addressing. KOKUYO believes there is a need for a mobile battery that is free from the constraints of power supply equipment and supports flexible working styles, such as ABW (*1 Activity Based Working). The newly released “Energy bottle” is a battery that is compact, lightweight, and highly mobile. We developed it in pursuit of a way for workers to easily carry it around and make full use of the space they have on hand. The size is about the same as a 500ml plastic bottle, and it can be inserted into a regular cup holder, allowing you to use a larger workspace without taking up space on your desk. Power can be supplied without
sacrificing mobility even when combined with variable furniture that can be flexibly adapted to layout and usage. The main body color is available in two colors: black and light gray. The battery capacity is 207.2wh, so you can use it almost all day with a 65W laptop. There are two power ports (USB Type-C): 65W suitable for charging a computer, and 18W port suitable for charging smartphones. The square shape of the charger, which can charge the main battery, makes it easy to place on fixtures such as shelves and counters, minimizing installation space. Through “Energy Bottle,” KOKUYO will make the working styles of workers more flexible and support the creation of a comfortable office environment. *1: A way of working in which a worker decides for themselves when and where it is most efficient to do the work that needs to be done. 2.
