Vigilant Volt Forensic Data Preserving Power Bank
Add a Continuously Charging Portable Battery to Your Faraday Bag to Keep a Device Powered for Days After Seizure
12,800mAh and 19,200mAh Options Available
The Vigilant Volt Forensic Data Preserving Power Bank is a high-speed charging battery used for powering handheld devices, such as cell phones and tablets. These particular power banks continuously charge the device once it reaches 100% power. This is an important feature for digital forensics use, ensuring that the device stays charged. Standard power banks stop outputting power when they detect that the device plugged into them is fully charged. It is offered as an add-on item because it is often used alongside faraday bags to keep devices live during transport and evidence intake. The power bank will keep a device powered for days after seizure, until the point that it can be inspected and analyzed in a lab. Keeping the device live prevents lockout mode and reduce the amount of time needed to break a passcode, enabling the maximum amount of data extraction and unlocking capabilities with tools like GrayKey, Cellebrite, XRY, BlackBag, Oxygen, etc.
The power bank is available in two sizes: 12,800mAh and 19,200mAh. It is intended to connect to a device using a compatible USB cable tip (not inclded), then be placed inside of a faraday bag. Most Mission Darkness faraday bags are spacious enough to fit a device and power bank inside, although you will want to ensure you are able to properly seal your faraday bag with the power bank inside, and upgrade to a larger bag size as necessary. The power indicator LED lights on the power bank show how much battery power is available. If you are using a faraday bag with a transparent shielded window, you will be able to view the battery life remaining, otherwise you will only be able to view the battery life upon inserting it into the bag. It is compatible with most USB-charged devices, including iPhone 8 / X / XS / XS Max / XR (Lightning cable required - *use an MFi certified Lightning cable), Android smartphones and tablets (including the Nexus 7), USB-C MacBooks / iPad (USB A to C cable required). Purchase the Mission Darkness Cable Set separately if you require cables to connect a device to the power bank (a variety of high-quality shielded cables are included in the set).

Charging Capabilities
Various factors will determine how long each power bank will last (keep the device live), including the battery state of device when it is introduced, the type of device, etc. Below are common devices and the amount of full charges produced by the two power bank options to give a greater understanding of their capabilities.
Purchase the Complete Kit
The Mission Darkness NeoLok Faraday Bag for Phones with Battery Kit is designed to charge a device while it remains shielded from RF signals. The unique kit, purpose-built for forensics, includes a patented NeoLok magnectic closure faraday bag large enough to fit a cell phone and included accessories, transparent shielded window to view indicator light of battery, and an outer zipper compartment to store USB power bank (12,800mAh and 19,200mAh battery options available) plus cable tip kit. We include separate high-quality cable tips (Apple lightning, USB micro, USB-C, and USB extension) as opposed to a single multicable to increase effectiveness and reduce the chance of cable failure.
