Energizer Energi To Go Instant Cell Phone Charger is powered by two batteries, and combines the power of Energizer(R) e2(R) Lithium(R) AA batteries with a patented intelligent control chip that maximizes power transfer from the charger to the phone.

"Managing power transfer from the Energizer Energi To Go charger to the cell phone provides maximum efficiency and consistent power performance in today's popular cell phones. Our intelligent control optimizes battery performance by supplying high power to the phone when needed and reduced power when demands are lower," said Tony Mazzola, Energizer Product Technical Support Manager.

The power demands on a cell phone have increased greatly as phones have evolved in how they are used. Many cell phones now are Web-enabled as well as able to send and receive email, take pictures, play music and videos, and serve as personal organizers. According to market research group Roper ASW, 20 percent of consumers lose cell phone power at least once a week.

The new cell phone chargers can power 80 percent of the cell phone brands available in the United States. (There were 170 million mobile phones in use in the U.S. last year.) Phone tip connectors are available to fit approximately 100 phone models across top manufacturers, and include most Nokia, Motorola, Sprint, and Samsung cellular phones and mini USB devices, including Razr, Slvr and the Blackberry.

The MSRP for Energizer Energi To Go Cell Phone Charger is $19.99, includes the reusable charger, the phone tip connector and two Energizer e2 Lithium AA batteries, and will be available at mass food and drug retailers nationwide on September 1 through mass market retailers.
