Lightweight Charger Brings Power to Devices When Away from an
Outlet
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 1, 2009--
iGo
(Nasdaq:IGOI), the leading portable power solution provider, unveils a
new travel-friendly charger, the iGo Charge Anywhere. The new iGo
Charge Anywhere is a wall charger that also has an internal battery,
allowing you to charge your devices in any location, with or without an
outlet.
Compatible with almost every mobile and gaming electronic device on the
market, the iGo Charge Anywhere allows users to simultaneously power two
devices while also charging its integrated battery to use when away from
an outlet. Available now at RadioShack as well as online at www.iGo.com
($49.99 MSRP), the new charger not only works as a wall charger but also
acts as a “transportable outlet” for maximum results.
“While we constantly develop new travel-friendly power solutions to
simultaneously charge multiple devices, this lightweight charger is
designed to be ultra portable for those who are on-the-go, especially
while in the air,” said Michael D. Heil, president and chief executive
officer of iGo. “This is a terrific power solution for use on airplanes,
where travelers are frequently unable to find an outlet to charge their
MP3 players, gaming devices, smartphones and other electronic devices
that they use during their flights.”
With collapsible wall blades that easily fold away, the iGo Charge
Anywhere stores enough energy in its integrated battery to provide up to
three full charges to most mobile devices without the need for
replenishing. Utilizing iGo’s interchangeable power tips, the charger is
able to power nearly every mobile device on the market including the
iPhone®, BlackBerry®, and Bluetooth® headset,
as well as MP3 players, digital cameras and/or gaming devices by using
the included iGo USB cable.
As luggage space becomes increasingly valuable, the travel-friendly iGo
Charge Anywhere is one simple product for all travelers’ charging needs,
in any location, whether or not there is an outlet. Instead of packing
one charger for each and every gadget, travelers now only need to bring
one small, compact iGo charger to power their devices.
