Energizer Adds DSLR/Camcorder USB Charger

Energizer’s Energi To Go line has some pretty sweet stuff, including a solar battery charger for just $50. They’re adding another device to the line later this year that’s turning some heads – the DSLR/camcorder battery USB charging clip. I really hope they have a better name.

This nifty little toy looks great. Two prongs hang from the top of what is essentially a chip clip with a usb stick attached. The prongs line up with the contacts on most DSLR/camcorder batteries, giving you an ultra portable way to charge on the go.

The only setback is that the clip may require one of Energizer’s USB-equipped battery packs, but even so, it’s USB, and that’s awesome. Now if we could just get universal charging adapters for our cell phones.

Energizer has yet to release pricing and availability for the clip, but I’d guess it’ll fall somewhere around $20. Watch for it in Q3 this year.
