NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT TOPS THE LIST For those who love to get the newest gear and gadgets, Energizer has introduced some smart new devices that will give them a real charge.
-- Energizer(R)Inductive Charger $89.00
Next generation charging
technology for smartphones has arrived with the Energizer(R)
Inductive Charger. It offers an easy and convenient way to charge
smartphones without cords and cables. This advanced technology
features Qi (pronounced chee), the new universal standard for
inductive charging, so it will power up devices like smartphones now
and in the future regardless of manufacturer. The Energizer Inductive
Charger is designed to work with Qi-enabled devices, whether Qi is
built into the device or the device has a Qi accessory. It features
two large charging zones that don't require locking the device into a
precise position, so you'll be sure to have your phone charged and
ready to go when you need it. It also features a USB port to meet
additional charging needs.
To work with today's popular smartphones, Energizer is launching the
Inductive Charger with a removable Qi sleeve for the Apple
iPhone(R) 3G/3GS and a Qi door for the BlackBerry(R) Curve(TM)
8900 (sold separately).
Simply slide the iPhone into the Energizer(R) Qi Sleeve or attach
the Energizer(R) Qi Door -- a one-time replacement -- to the
Blackberry, and set your phone down on the charger for cordfree
charging!
-- Energizer(R)Recharge Smart(TM) Charger -- $19.99
If you're
getting ready to wrap a battery-powered toy, game or gadget, a smart
addition to the package is the new Energizer(R) Recharge
Smart(TM) Charger, because there is nothing more disappointing than
a great new toy running out of power! This new charger was developed
in response to consumers' interest in knowing more about the charging
status of their rechargeable batteries. It features a large LCD screen
with a countdown clock displaying remaining charging time, a fuel
gauge indicating the current level of power in the inserted NiMH
rechargeable batteries, and a bad battery alert that automatically
indicates if the batteries are no longer useful or if a disposable
battery has been inserted by mistake.
HOLIDAY "GREENERY" Solar is hot this year and Energizer has tapped into the power of the sun to deliver new solar-powered lights and solar chargers for cell phones, cameras and more.
