The Energizer Inductive Charger is a space saving, easy to use device for smart phones, cell phones, headsets, mp3 players, cameras or GPS devices. Sleek looking and using just one cord, this is a charger that you don’t need to hide.
Featuring Qi (pronounced chee), “the universal standard for inductive charging”, makes the Energizer Inductive Charger able to charge smart phones no matter the manufacturer. It also includes a USB port for the other devices mentioned above.
Features:
- Delivers easy, convenient, cord-free charging for the iPhone 3GS/3G and BlackBerry Curveâ„¢ 8900 via sleeve and door accessories
- Offers two large inductive charging areas with one additional USB charging port
- Is compatible with Qi-enabled devices today and in the future; Qi is an open source standard for products defined for 5 watts of power or less (e.g., phones, mp3 player, cameras)
- Provides freedom of placement within the two large inductive charging areas
- Does not contain magnets for alignment, so charging doesn’t require precise placement
- Features a sleek, rounded rectangle design with two LED charge indicator
Qi:
Qi is a type of wireless charging. Look for this logo on devices that you own to see if they are Qi-enabled -
In the future, manufacturers are expected to design more devices that are Qi-enabled. With the Energizer Inductive Charger, then, you are ahead of the game.
My Review:
Not having those dangling charger cords for the two iPhones in my house is a saving grace. I love that I can just plop down my phone on one side of the charger pad, no need to place it directly in place (I’m a color-outside the lines kind of girl). That extra USB port gets used as well. It’s a all in one charger for us. I have it in the den so we don’t forget to charge up overnight or when our phones are running low whenever.
The downside is the iPhone Sleeve, which is necessary for charging your iPhone 3G or 3Gs smart phone. You also need one for Blackberry Curve 8900. The iPhone sleeve is black and sturdy, but not my style. Plus it costs extra. I have to switch out sleeves so I can be stylish. For those of you don’t mind, the sleeve can be kept on all the time. As stated above, this will soon be a thing of the past when more smart phones are Qi-enabled.
Buy It:
You can purchase the Energizer Inductive Charger and the sleeves at Target, Best Buy and from Amazon.com – The Energizer IC2B-US Qi-Enabled 3 Position Inductive Charger (Black)
I was provided with the Energizer Inductive Charger and the iPhone Sleeve for this review. All opinions are my own. Affiliate links included.
I think the charger looks really cool – it’s perfect for us college students!

I would love a wireless charger! Anytime I can eliminate a cord – that’s a good thing. We have a whole drawer full of connectors and cords and can never seem to find the one we need.
Thanks for explaining Qi, I’m going to look for it in the future when I shop for a new gadget.
I love that the hubz and I can charge our phones at the same time! Thanks for sharing!

I love things like this that make our lives a bit easier and convenient.
Great review about it.. i didn’t know that something like this exist.. i am only familiar with the energizer battery.. thank you so much for sharing. I am completely updated about it
There are many batteries available. One time I bought one for my camera and much to my dismay for just one use of the flash it was already low bat. energizer batteries are good but very expensive. If you want something to last longer just bare paying the expensive energizer battery.
I haven’t know this product until today. I think this really looks beautiful and handy. I will order 2 of these awesome charger.
This is a great tool to pack when traveling.. I am planning to have a camping this weekend, I should buy this gadget..
my husband make a plan to have picnic down the lake just for the kids we spent time yes we should bring the gadgets never miss the special occasion..
Great post! Very handy and useful. Thanks for this post.

Good and very informative post. I will come back to your blog regularly. One thing: I do
not exactly know what do you mean in the second paragraph. Could you please explain
your opinion?
What a brilliant post. You should do a series!
I did a sort of blogging for dummies over
on one of the craft forums and I thought it was too simple for them, but the amount of
emails I got asking questions just like what you addressed was unbelievable. As young
people today we have grown up with computers, but it’s easy to forget that even people just a few years older have not! Really good post!
The upsides appear to outweigh the downside. This one looks really nice for a charger. Great review. Thanks!
