Summer is the time for getting outdoors and wearing out the batteries in your mobile gear. I’ve been messing around with two Energizer-branded chargers for the home and car on a recent road trip.
Launched earlier this year, the Energizer 180-watt Cup Inverter and the Energizer Everything Charging Station are attempts at convenient charging designs and manage to do the job fairly well.
Made by Bright Manufacturing, the cup inverter is billed as the smallest of its kind in the world. It has a compact form that fits easily into a cup holder in your car or boat.
The size of a small mug, it can power up to five devices such as your smartphone, laptop, or camera with four USB ports and one AC outlet, with output at 120V/60Hz. It’s also got a silent thermal fan.
