**** CLOSED, WINNER = David ****
I was one of the lucky guys who won a price during the Top Bloggers award “ceremony”. Veeam was so kind enough to provide two of the exact same items so that every blogger who won a price could also give away a price to their readers. I am not going to make it more difficult than it needs to be. Leave a comment before Friday the 18th of April, make sure use your real email address in the form, and I will let my daughter pick a random winner on Saturday morning. I will update this blog post and inform the winner.
What can you win? (Funny, I was at the point of buying one of these myself as I always run out of battery on my phone and iPad during all-day events!)
Jackery Giant
– Large power capacity with 2.1A output
– The world’s most powerful external rechargeable battery
– 2.1A fast charging
– Size, style and speed make this most powerful external rechargeable battery to-dateThis large capacity portable external battery has dual output ports and 10,400mAh for lengthening mobile device battery life up to 500% for smart phones. Its compact size and stylish design has three LED charge status indicators with a two LED flashlight for up to 700 hours of illumination.

Dave Silvestri says
I’d love you to pick me. Discovered your blog about 18 months ago, and it’s still regualr reading for me even though I’ve moved into more of a management role than a technical one.
As for why you should pick me, I have an autistic son who’s only real release is his iPad. external batteries are essential when we go camping as we need something to recharge the tablet while he sleeps.
Good on you to be giving this swag away… and for making it so easy that anyone can enter.
