World’s Smallest Phone Charger Looks Snazzy

attachment

While smartphones are certainly indispensable today, they also have the annoying problem of running out of charge way too quickly. Blame it on using GPS too often or connecting to available 3G or 4G networks.

No matter what it is, the fact is that smartphones sometimes let us down in the ...

Fuel Emergency Charger Gives Your Phone Some Extra Power When You Need It the Most

Fuel Charger

There are a number of portable phone chargers currently available, but most of these are bulky and are pretty much a hassle to carry around–especially if you’re a guy (who doesn’t carry a bag) or a girl (who doesn’t carry a purse).

And then came the Fuel emergency charger. It’s creators claim that it’s ‘the world’s smallest cell phone charger’, and they might just be right. It’s the same size as your typical keyring–it measures 1.3 by 0.9 by half an inch–but don’t let it’s compact size fool you.

Fuel1

The Fuel has a 5C lithium-ion rechargeable battery inside that can provide you with an extra 20 to 30 minutes of talk time, or a couple of hours on standby. Of course, this figure goes up or down depending on your phone.

The Fuel is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $20 will get you one of your very own.

Duracell Powermat announces 24-Hour Power System, we go hands-on (video)

Duracell Powermat announces 24Hour Power System, we go handson video

Since Duracell and Powermat formed their wireless charging alliance late last year, we've seen the Powermat debut at CES and heard quite a bit about the company's vision for future battery tech. Today the company is unveiling a new charging system which, while not drastically different from the Powermat we've seen before, bundles a few useful products together. In addition to a Powermat for charging the iPhone or iPhone 4, the 24-Hour Power System includes a phone case (necessary for juicing a phone on the Powermat) and a portable backup battery with both microUSB and Apple connectors. The whole package will set you back $100, and it's available online and in NYC stores starting today. Though the system currently only supports the iPhone, the company says it will add compatibility with "an array of other leading smartphones" by this fall. Check out our hands-on demo with Duracell Powermat CEO Ron Rabinowitz below.
