Recharge your batteries with Duracell pocket charger

Duracell offer several types of rechargeable batteries but my favourite is the super portable pocket charger. You can keep it in your handbag and if you’re ever out and about and your mobile or iPod dies you can charge it up and away you go.  You get up to 100% charge with your Nano and up to 50% with your Blackberry. It comes with 2xAA ultra cells and is available for £19.99.

My gadget of the week on Talk Radio Europe: eco charger

The Carphone Warehouse have introduced an energy efficient mobile phone charger known as the “Eco Charger” which shuts itself down as soon as the battery in your phone is fully charged.

According to Carphone Warehouse if everyone used one, it could save the UK approximately 217 million kWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the yearly electricity usage of around 66,000 homes.

It retails at £22.99, and is compatible with certain Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung handsets. The new charger will be available at Carphone Warehouse from 3 March 2009.
