Untangle the Charger Tangle

We found some terrific solutions to the problem of all the stuff needed to charge our many devices in need of charging.


 
The new Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet (www.newertech.com, $19.95) is a simple, elegant solution: the A/C adapter goes inside the wall outlet. The device includes two USB charging sockets and two standard AC sockets in a single compact unit that neatly replaces a standard wall-type receptacle. A sliding safety shutter covers and shuts off power to each USB socket when not in use. Special circuitry provides only the amount of charging current required for each connected device.

Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet is available in four wall plate colors and installs easily. A reminder here: Be sure to turn off power to receptacle you are replacing before installation. Printed directions are included, and a video tutorial is online.


Fueltank (www.callpod.com, $49.95 UNO, $89.95 DUO) is ideal for charging in the field and provides two to eight recharges of your mobile devices before Fueltank itself needs recharging. A handy carrying pouch is included.
The Mohzy loop (www.mohzy.com) is a short, flat charger cable with a standard USB connector on one end and a microUSB connector on the other. The microUSB end will fit many cellphones, mp3 players, GPS, and other devices. An Apple adapter allows use with iPhones and iPods. The standard USB end can connect to any USB port capable of providing charging current, such as an AC wall adapter, computer, car lighter adapter and others.

Mohzy loop
has lots of colorful designs available, and magnetic ends serve as clasps for transforming the loop into a bracelet or for looping around purse or briefcase handles. Very easy to bring along anywhere and always be ready for charging.

Check out these charging devices soon. No need to put up with those tangles any more.
