Tis the Season for a Phone Charger

At this time of year all of us are trying to think of creative gifts for our families and friends.  If you have done any traveling, you will undertand how important it is to have a working cell phone to check for directions, shopping centers, gas stations, and sleeping accomodations.  All this sounds great and dandy, except for when your phone dies and you have either forgotten your cell phone charger or left your charger at the hotel.  Cell phone chargers a a perfect gift for anyone and the great thing is that they are pretty cheap!

The really nice thing about cell phones these days is that most phones accept a USB type of charging station.  The best part about this is that they can use the USB cable to charge their phone from their computer, or anything that takes a USB connection.  USB technology is also unifying and standardizing cell phone charging ports.  Back in the day you had to search the earth for the right charger to go to the right phone.  Now a days there are about 4 main charging USB cables that most likely will work with most cell phones of today.  This has made buying a cell phone charger as a gift more practical and realistic.  Most phones takes a mini USB connection which is easy to find at such places as Best Buy, Radio Shack, and even Wal-mart. 

Prices are very low these days as most USB type chargers range from $19.99 to $34.99.  This makes buying a cell phone charging station an affordable gift for any loved one or friend. The great thing is that most cell phone chargers also work with other devices.  Some of the devices that also work with USB cell phone chargers include: bluetooth headsets, bluetooth headphones, and powered cell phone accessories.  This makes the gift much more useful and useable in any environment or situation.  When traveling you usually always take your laptop, which allows you to charge your phone or device with any USB charger.  This means that if you have a portable laptop, you can charge your phone or any device as long as you have your laptop with you.  The laptop deosn’t even have to be plugged into the wall to charge your phone or devices which make these type of chargers the top of the line chargers on the market. 

We hope you will consider buying a charger, charger station, or a cell phone charger this holiday season!

Cell Phone Chargers Are A Must!

Cell phone chargers are made in all shapes and sizes. We use them for everyday things, especially our phones, to make our lives a little bit easier while we are on the go.   Cell phone chargers are a must needed cell phone accessories for cell phones. Without it, your cell phone would be dead all the time, but with cell phone chargers, it will help keep your cell phone working throughout the day and those times when you need it most.

Motorola has become the first cell phone company to make all of its cell phone chargers are Energy Star certified. At first it doesn’t sound like too big a deal, but when the EPA added up the effects that a 40% increase in charger efficiency would have, it came to well over 1 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Motorola has some cell phones and Bluetooth electronic devices  that can use the same charger. The Bluetooth battery normally cannot be removed or replaced so a charger is an absolute must in order to have it function properly.

The coolest type of new cell phone charger is the solar cell phone chargers.  Solar cell phone chargers are powered through direct contact with sunlight; there is no need to use electricity. During an emergency, like a hurricane, earthquake or blizzard, often times power goes out, leaving the residents without ways to contact family. Solar cell phone battery chargers are a great addition to your plug-in and USB charger. They’re especially handy if you’re in your car all day. Solar cell phone chargers have the advantage that since they are connected to the solar panels , a battery back up is provided for storing the solar power . The Turbo recharge facility available in such chargers makes sure that the phone is not damaged or over charged unlike the conventional electrical battery chargers.

The Perfect Camping Charger

sidewinder

We are all used to the cell phone chargers that plug into the wall or the computer to charge our phone, but can we charge our phone using a wind up method?  YES!  Just like a solar cell phone charger the sidewinder is free to charge your cell phone as well.  Instead of using the sun, the sidewinder uses human power.

The sidewinder can be used for as long as you want.  It also never needs replacing as it will never lose its ability to charge because you are the one that charges the battery with it.  The way the sidewinder operates is by turning a handle as you charge your cell phone.  Manual power is the key here so you can charge your phone for as long or short as you want to.

This type of cell phone charger is handy in every sense of the word.  Lets face it, emergencies and bad things happen that need an immediate important call to receive proper help and medical attention.  The biggest application for this type of device is in camping and rural situations.  Most of us have either been camping or on a hike and have heard the horror stories of someone getting seriously injured and that someone had a dead cell phone and was unable to call anyone for help.  This type of device could save some one’s life.  Its small and easily packable for all sorts of different trips.

Another great feature is that any type of cell phone will work with the sidewinder.  The procedure of use is to turn the crank for about 2 rps (revolutions per second).  This generates enough current to charge your cell phone.  This produces 5 volts, which is enough energy to give your cell phone another 6 minutes of talk time and a standby time of 30 minutes. It takes approximately 45 minute of winding to entirely charge your cell phone.  In an emergency situation it is good to take turns with other people winding the charger as you may get tired after 10 minutes or so of winding.

It may sound a little strange that you can crank a charger to charge your phone but its the ability that’s the most important.  In a life saving instance you would not care if you had to crank something to make a call for help.  This is an absolute must device for anyone that loves the outdoors or who goes on nature expeditions.
