The days of scrambling for a charger when your phone battery hits the dreaded red zone may soon be over, thanks to a groundbreaking innovation by Galway’s own Pádraic Connolly. His latest creation, Swippitt, is revolutionizing the way we power our devices, offering an ‘instant power system’ that delivers a fully charged battery in mere seconds.
Swippitt eliminates the need for customary wired chargers or bulky power banks. Instead, it features a specially designed ‘Link’ case, which Pádraic describes as being similar in size to an Otterbox. the real magic, though, happens inside the toaster-sized Swippitt Hub. This compact device houses five batteries that can be swapped with a depleted one almost instantly. Simply place your phone into the top of the hub, and within seconds, you’ll have a fully charged battery ready to go.
“I worked really hard to make it simple for the consumer,” Pádraic shared in an interview with the Tribune from New York, where he’s been making the media rounds due to the overwhelming interest in his product. Swippitt made its debut at the CES tech show in Las Vegas, where it earned a spot in the ‘Top 10 best new devices’—a testament to its innovative design and practicality.
The journey to create swippitt began three years ago, driven by Pádraic’s lifelong passion for invention. “I was always messing with stuff—pulling things apart and putting them back together. Building a tabletop dishwasher was one of my things,” he recalls with a chuckle. His tinkering spirit has now culminated in a product that could redefine how we think about device charging.

World Today News: swippitt – A Game Changer in Portable Power
Senior Editor (SE): Today, we have a interesting discussion lined up with [Guest Name], an expert in futuristic technology and battery innovations. Welcome,and thank you for joining us!
Guest (G): Thank you for having me. I’m excited to discuss Swippitt and its implications in teh tech industry.
SE: Let’s dive right in. Tell us about Swippitt, a groundbreaking innovation set to revolutionize how we power our devices.
G: Swippitt, created by Galway-based inventor Pádraic Connolly, is an ‘instant power system’ that eliminates the need for wired chargers or bulky power banks. It consists of a ‘Link’ case, similar in size to an Otterbox, and a compact, toaster-sized hub that houses five fully charged batteries.
SE: that sounds incredibly convenient. How does it work?
G: Its remarkably simple. You place your phone into the top of the Swippitt Hub, and within seconds, you have a fully charged battery ready to go. The hub swaps the depleted battery in your ’Link’ case with one of the five fully charged ones it holds.
SE: How did Pádraic come up with this idea?
G: Pádraic has always had a passion for invention,tinkering with stuff since he was young. He wanted to create a solution that would simplify and streamline the way we charge our devices. After three years of work,Swippitt was born.
SE: Swippitt made quite an impression at CES,earning a spot in the ‘Top 10 best new devices.’ What do you think sets it apart?
G: Swippitt combines user-pleasant functionality with a sleek design, making it highly desirable. It addresses a common pain point – low battery anxiety – and offers a convenient, instant solution. Plus, it’s compact and blends into home decor easily.
SE: Let’s talk about the environmental impact. With five batteries, isn’t there potential for more waste?
G: That’s a great question. Swippitt batteries are designed to be rechargeable and long-lasting, reducing waste over time. Moreover, they’re standardized, meaning they could potentially be used across various devices, further increasing their lifespan and reducing e-waste.
SE: How might Swippitt influence the future of portable power?
G: Swippitt could pave the way for more modular, replaceable battery systems in devices. This could led to longer-lasting, easily replaceable batteries, extending the useful life of our devices and reducing electronic waste.
SE: Fascinating! Lastly, when can we expect Swippitt to hit the market?
G: While there’s no official release date yet, Pádraic is currently finalizing production and should have more information in the coming months.
SE: Thank you for sharing your insights with us today. Stay tuned, folks! Swippitt is one to watch in the world of tech.
G: My pleasure. Thanks for having me.
