Energizer Announces New Dock & Go Charger

ST. LOUIS, November 28, 2006 – For the digital dad, gadget guy and high-tech guru, Energizer, the No. 1 selling brand in rechargeable NiMH products, now offers the new Energizer Dock & Go™ Charger. The Dock & Go Charger comes with two portable charging pods that each hold four AA or AAA rechargeable (NiMH) batteries. It can charge up to eight batteries in sequence or four in a pod while the other pod is in use. Plus, the pods are small enough to slip into a pocket or briefcase and at just a few ounces, lightweight as well.

The new product from Energizer – already in stores nationwide – comes at just the right time to help families who are eager to record holiday events on their digital cameras and men who receive digital devices throughout the season. Since digital devices are known to drain conventional batteries quickly, the Dock & Go Charger is the ideal gift for people enamored with high-tech gadgets like digital cameras, MP3 players, GPS systems, etc.

The Dock & Go Charger comes with two pods, allowing people on the go to carry as many as four batteries with them in one lightweight pod, while another four batteries are charging at home or in a hotel room. The Energizer Dock & Go™ Charger typically takes 2.2 to 3.0 hours to fully charge a set of rechargeable AA batteries depending on its capacity and 2.5 to 3 hours to charge a set of AAA batteries. The charger unit has space for both pods and charges them in sequence or one at a time. The device also has a special LED charge indicator that changes between green, red and yellow to show the progress of the charge and indicate when the batteries are fully charged.

The Energizer Dock & Go Charger (retailing at US.99), comes with four Energizer NiMH AA batteries which, like all such Energizer batteries, can be recharged hundreds of times.
