Emergency Charger

Power up your essentials with a mobile charger

Product

Emergency Charger.

Promise

A handy little charger that takes normal batteries, but charges your most essential bits of kit that don't run on traditional AAs - like iPods and mobile phones.

Performance

The increasingly electrified world of the outdoors means disappointment when your treasured items run flat. We rely on them utterly these days, even our most basic of consumer goods can be aids to adventures: a mobile phone becomes your emergency line to the outside world; your iPod the one thing that keeps you going at the end of the day for the last hill-climb. These things don't run on normal batteries that you get from the village shops though. Specialist chargers and power sources are bulky and irritating to find. This Emergency Charger runs on a single AA battery (included) and is a brilliant jump-starter for your flat items. It comes with loads of adaptors for iPod, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. Just plug it in and start recharging your items, with not a plug or solar panel in sight.

Verdict

Great to stow away in your daypack, and runs on a power source that's available in every single corner of the world. Hikers, backpackers and festival lovers will need one of these pronto.
