Much More Cell Master Legend

Much More Cell Master Legend

Yesterday we showed you the new Much More Cell Master Legend and power supply, today we have received the first studio picture of the device which while still not finalized regarding the specs, its essentially complete regarding the looks. One major feature we failed to mention yesterday, and something that we were told in Thailand at the World Championships last November, is that this new electronics range from Much More uses a docking system. As you saw in yesterday’s photos, there were 2 chargers atop each power supply, this is due to the fact that the chargers themselves are plugged into the power supply directly, like you would an iPod into a cradle charger. This eliminates the need for extra wires around the back, and frees up outputs which would normally be used for powering the charger, to be used for other devices.

Updated with picture of Power Master legend, showing the connection points for the docking.
