Sounds like an energy drink, doesn't it?
In reality, when I talk of cell phone juice, I mean battery-powered, portable chargers. Of course, these type of devices aren't anything new. Back in February we talked about the Turbo Charge ($19.95) that charges your cell phone or PDA on the go. So, it doesn't surprise me that Energizer wants to play in the mobile-charging game, too.
Today, the company releases the Energizer Energi To Go: a portable device, powered by two Lithium AA batteries, that recharges many of today's cell phones using "a patented intelligent control chip that maximizes power transfer from the charger to the phone."
The company claims that after just 30 seconds of charging on the Energi To Go that a call can be made. Wow, that's pretty impressive! Sometimes I'll forget to charge my cell phone at night, and then have to save battery power for the important calls (you know, the ones from my bf). And then there are those times when I'll go away for the weekend and forget to bring a charger. So having a device such as this one would come in handy. Then again, it's not the end of the world for me if I do run out of cell juice. There are alternatives.
Phone tip connectors are available for about 100 phone models, including most from Nokia, Motorola, Sprint, and Samsung, even the BlackBerry.
The Energizer Energi To Go Cell Phone Charger will be available beginning September 1, 2006 for $19.99. The official Energi To Go Web site will launch on August 28. |
