Guide Review - A Review of the iGo Charge Anywhere Travel Charger/battery
The iGo Charge Anywhere is a nifty little device that makes it possible to charge your iPhone (or other small mobile device) without having to plug it into a wall socket. The iGo Charge Anywhere includes an integrated battery that charges up, and then can be used to charge your device on the go.
The iGo Charge Anywhere can also be used as a wall charger or as a battery backup charger for a wide range of mobile electronic devices: iPhones, mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, MP3 players, gaming devices, digital camera, GPS devices, and more.
The iGo Charge Anywhere fits easily in your pocket, it’s very portable, not that heavy, and is great for business users stuck on trips (or airports) where there aren’t power plugs and your smartphone, iPhone or electronic device is running out of juice. The unit has a foldable power plug that flips down for each storage.
I’ve used this on many trips and find it’s a lifesaver. It’s also great for those long airplane rides where there are no power outlets. It’s also great for devices or apps (such as GPS applications) that suck the power out of mobile electronics.
When used as a wall charger, the device also charges its internal battery, so it’s good to go at any point. The iGo Charge Anywhere also has two USB outlets, allowing you to charge two devices at the same time.
The unit also works worldwide, so there’s no need for a voltage converter when traveling. Since you can also upgrade/purchase new tips when you obtain new devices, there’s no need to purchase new chargers.
All-in-all, the iGo Charge Anywhere is a simply, practical travel charger for a wide array of mobile electronics and a great addition to a savvy business traveler’s arsenal of power tools.
