Energizer Introduces Two USB Dual Charge Products

Energizer has introduced the Dual Universal USB Charger for autos and the Dual Universal USB Charger for wall outlets. Both let the user charge two small USB powered devices at the same time.

The new Dual Universal USB Charger plugs into any auto cigarette lighter outlet and offers two USB ports, so that you can recharge two of your USB powered devices at the same time. It works with most devices, meaning it will not recharge an iPad. The charger is three inches long and two inches at the widest point.

The USB Dual Charger For Autos

The new Dual Universal USB Charger for wall outlets plugs into any live wall outlet and also offers two USB ports that allow recharging two USB powered devices at the same time. Like the auto charger, it will not recharge an iPad. The wall charger measures 2 x 2 x 2-in and is white with silver trim.

The USB Dual Charger For Wall Outlets

Both products have a one year limited warranty. The MSRP for each is US$19.99 although I found both at numerous places on-line for around US$10.

Using the products 

The auto charger — The charger works well. It is fast, even when charging two products. I went with my iPhone 4 and my iPod Nano, both of which were more than three-quarters down. Both recharged completely while I drove around town for about an hour running errands.

The wall charger — With most household wall outlets this product will cover the second plug space just enough that you can’t use it, but with higher end outlets and power strips that does not occur. The plug folds away when not in use which provides good portability. The recharge time for my second iPod Nano which needed to be completely charged, and a friends iPhone 3G which was sitting at 50 percent, was 40 minutes.

Do I recommend them? 

I do. It is extremely convenient to be able to recharge two items at once and the fact that these products are made by Energizer gives me confidence in their durability. Oh, and one more thing, the packages for both are easy to open. No chain saw required.
