A somewhat larger and bulkier Dual Auto Charger can handle 1A and 500mA and will take care of your portable GPS system or other electronics at a $30.00 price.

Duracell My Pocket Charger
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Portable Audio / Video, Storage,
Duracell is apparently trying to understand that there is a specific need for speed charging. Their My Pocket Charger needs two AA batteries that you load into the device, then connect to your MP3 player, cell phone or other electronic device and they rapidly recharge it. The portable power source comes with two of their Coppertop batteries and we found one of the iPod chargers at Comp USA for $19.99 after instant $3.00 rebate. We see a problem here in that you have to toss the batteries after they work their magic. Would that Duracell could stick to more environment-friendly products.
