  • Energizer® Inductive Charger $89.00
    Next generation charging technology for smartphones has arrived with the Energizer® Inductive Charger. It offers an easy and convenient way to charge smartphones without cords and cables. This advanced technology features Qi (pronounced chee), the new universal standard for inductive charging, so it will power up devices like smartphones now and in the future regardless of manufacturer. The Energizer Inductive Charger is designed to work with Qi-enabled devices, whether Qi is built into the device or the device has a Qi accessory. It features two large charging zones that don't require locking the device into a precise position, so you'll be sure to have your phone charged and ready to go when you need it. It also features a USB port to meet additional charging needs.

    To work with today's popular smartphones, Energizer is launching the Inductive Charger with a removable Qi sleeve for the Apple iPhone® 3G/3GS and a Qi door for the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 (sold separately).

    Simply slide the iPhone into the Energizer® Qi Sleeve or attach the Energizer® Qi Door -- a one-time replacement -- to the Blackberry, and set your phone down on the charger for cordfree charging!
