a first power connector operatively connected to the internal rechargeable battery capable of operating as at least one of a power input and a power output, wherein when said first power connector acts as a power input, an electrical charge current is provided from an external power source to the portable power charger for recharging the rechargeable battery when the portable power charger is connected to said external power source via said first power connector, and wherein when said first power connector acts as a power output, a charge is provided from the rechargeable battery of the portable power charger to an electronic device to recharge a battery of said electronic device when said electronic device is connected to the portable power charger via said first power connector;

a lighting element attached to the charger housing and operatively connected to the internal rechargeable battery; and

a motion detector attached to the charger housing;

wherein the motion detector is configured to activate the lighting element when motion proximate to the first face of the charger housing is detected.

2. The portable power charger according to claim 1 , wherein the first power connector is selected from the group consisting of a female power port and a male power cable.

3. The portable power charger according to claim 1 , further comprising a second power connector operatively connected to the internal rechargeable battery, wherein the internal rechargeable battery is configured to be charged when an external power source is connected to the first power connector or the second power connector and simultaneously charge an electronic device when the electronic device is connected to the other of the first power connector or the second power connector.

4. The portable power charger according to claim 1 , further comprising a power indicator configured to indicate a level of charge of the internal rechargeable battery.

5. The portable power charger according to claim 1 , further comprising a retractable AC plug operatively connected to the internal rechargeable battery, wherein the rechargeable battery receives a charge when the AC plug is connected to an external power source.
