Product Reviews of Energizer Energi To Go Instant Cell Phone Charger, Mini USB
Product Review: Works for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I feel for the reviewer who had his Garmin fried, but I thought I'd add a more positive review since it has worked well for me with a TyTN II smart phone (AKA the "Tilt"). I've used it on long plane flights to get extra "battery milage" while I'm watching videos and listening to mp3s. So if you have a Tilt, you can be reasonably sure that one of these will work for you. If anyone finds otherwise, please post here. Also note that although the blurb says it requires Energizer E2 batteries, I just use it with regular Costco Kirkland brand AA alkalines. I haven't tried it with rechargeable AAs.Product Review: Works in a crunch
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up one of these Energizer Chargers in the middle of a business trip. I left my USB Cable for my Blackberry at home, and it was about to die mid-trip. I couldn't find an actual plug-in charger, so I decided to try this. I plugged it in to my Blackberry, and it fully charged the device in less than 2 hours. I'm not sure of the exact time because I wasn't watching, but when I checked on it after two hours, it was already charged. I didn't remove the batteries from the pack, and when I went to recharge again a few days later with the same batteries in the charger, it worked just fine.
I certainly don't plan on using this regularly, but I will definitely keep this in my suitcase going forward for those times that I forget to throw in the actual charger. AA batteries are much easier to find than chargers, so it's a very handy device and small enough that it won't take up any noticeable room in my bag.
I see some things in other reviews that I'd like to comment on. First of all, as for the comment about not fitting most phones, well, most phone chargers only fit one brand or model of phone. It's important to know what kind of device the user is using before buying any charger.
I also see someone else had trouble changing the batteries. I haven't had that problem at all. There are spots that need to be squeezed at the end of the charger, and then the end pulls off. It's actually quite simple. I also did not have any problem with the batteries draining when left in the device.
Product Review: love it
Summary: 5 Stars
Now I don't have to worry so much that my phone will die when I need it most. I carry this thing in my purse so just in case I turn on my phone and battery is low I can charge it anywhere. It does take long to charge fully and maybe the charge does not hold as long but its not supposed to be an everyday charger.
I bought this instead of a car charger because I am not always in the car long enough to get a good charge.
They have different types for different phones and you can try your phone out before you buy. So, if someone buys the wrong one its their fault and its not fair to rate this product low for something thats one's own fault.
So, unless I find out this thing is going to kill my phone somehow I will keep my 5 star rating.
