Two things from the website : >We created Trontium to drive humanity forward Ok I cant discuss the reasons why you created trontium and driving humanity forward is indeed a great goal but wow this is just a (rather cool) battery.

Plus I think the keyboard (a yamaha psr E403 I think) featured in the pictures is not usb powered.

Other than that I'm impressed by the 8 charges you can make with the dewalt drill. Great to build something far from power outlets.

You're right. That keyboard is not USB powered. That's why we're making adapter cables. I'll be posting a tutorial on the site later today with pictures, but the general idea is that you can buy an adapter cable for whatever device you have and then set its voltage requirements in an app.

This is going to create some unexpected excitement and lots of magic smoke for a lot of people...

This (nice) feature should be more heavilly advertised on the website. Would the app also allow to schedule power off / on?
