Energizer Energi To Go DSLR Charger Gives Paparazzi More Portability

Need to hide in the bushes for eleven hours outside Megan Fox’s house while taking the occasional super-zoom shot? Need to recharge your batteries but have no outlet? Energizer’s portable charger clip is there.

This DSLR battery clip charges via any USB source (like Energizer’s own portable battery pack) and clamps on to “any” digital camera or camcorder battery. The compatibility list is probably high, but we’re unsure if any actually means any, so check out the site before buying. The entire Energi To Go line will be available next month.

    I got something like list last year in Taiwan. It plugs into a wall outlet but has the adjustable little prongs you can adjust to fit any contact arrangement. The thing is auto polarity sensing and works on any single cell lithium battery. It's great for travel. I only need to take one charger for any cell phone or non-DSLR camera i take with me, this usually totals 3-4 devices for me.

    @Eric Swenson: Hmm....i am tired. I didn't notice that it used higher voltage than USB. Which makes it LAME. Whats the point of the usb plug than? FAIL.

    @jerrymedina: No dice my man. Your battery is too large and in charge. Or not, as it were.

    @D0rk: It's legit man I use this daily. The weight is negligible.....now if you bash into it...well same as a cable really....you just bust off the plastic inside your USB port.

    LOLOL This is just a re-branded Lenmar charger. I sell at least one of these a day to tard-bag tourists who flew 3,000 miles to Alaska and left thier chargers in Jersey. This charger completely and totally rocks my face off. Polarity doesn't even matter cause its all microchipped and shizzle. And no, it wont work on your huge ass battery cause your huge battery is 7.4 volts and USB is only 5. This only charges 3.4-3.7 volt batteries....otherwise known as 99% of compact digitals.

    Good to see that Energizer will sell this for Lenmar cause everyone is like Lenmar? Who? Wah? OOOOOhhh Energizer the're legit.

    No way this fits on my the battery for my 40D..its big.

    Also.

    DSLR batteries last a REALLY long time.

    I EASILY shoot over 1000 shots on one battery. I can't see this being too useful.

    And there's no way this will work on real batteries like the Nikon EN-EL4a batteries.

    Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but the charger looks to be about the size of the battery and i'm sure only an ounce or two lighter. Why not just by and carry a spare battery?

    I got one of these as a promotion in an art store a little while back. They work great, but they indicate you can only use them on lithium-ion, NOT on lithium polymer batteries. Energizer may have fixed that problem, or may not have. They are surprisingly sturdy and have worked with every battery I've tried. You can buy them now ultra cheap at a ton of places on the net.

    Is one example, I just searched google for "lithium ion usb keychain charger" without the quotes.

    Hmmm, connecting any lithium battery to this and expect it to NOT catch fire? I'd love to see this in action. Lithium polymer and lithium ion batteries have such a volatile nature that I wouldn't use anything but the specified charger for my best batteries.

    Then again, nothing gets a celeb out of his/her house than a fireball running across the back 40.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Yeah, dragging and dropping digital image files to a PC doesn't quite match the creepiness of an entire room dedicated to developing images of the love of your life, who just don't know you yet, and if they would only get to know you, they would know that you're just perfect for them and could meet their every fantasy, but alas, they don't even make eye contact with you, even though you have a posterboard that says "Megan Fox, I love you, please call me at 555-1234, I know you're perfect for me!!! If I can't have you, then nobody can...", yet she still doesn't even offer a glance, even when you leave her love notes on her bed while she takes a shower, or when you leave rose petals in her car waiting for her in the morning, or when you pick up her workout towel that she dropped while taking her daily 9:15am jog and leave it for her at her front door step, yet she still ignores me, I don't understand it because I know I'd be perfect for her...

    @dsh: When I camp outside of Megan Fox's house, I just carry extra batteries.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I agree. Watching a movie with a stalker printing the photos he took of his victim just doesn't have the same creepiness as a scene of the stalker developing film prints.

    @Kaiser-Machead: If i were a douchebag stalker i'd definitely develop my film at home. Stalking 101, right?

    OR, i guess you could bring extra batteries?

  • D0rk

    Seems a bit sketchy to have basically the weight of the battery pinched between a spring clip, all hanging off a low profile plastic USB connector. I certainly wouldn't want to plug that into the side of my laptop without a little extension cable.

    Film wins out this one, suckers. There's nothing that gives a creepier vibe than some douchebag developing his film of his stalkees.

    Pfft, amateurs. When *I* camp out in the bushes by Megan Fox's house with my super-zoom, I pack a portable generator. Solar, diesel, and manual. Also a week's worth of rations. At least 3 liters of water.

    The water can be recycled.

  • jerrymedina

    super zoom to the toe? (on her hand, not the other ;])
    No thanks!

    Still find this very useful. I do so hate to lose juice when working on my old but trusty 350D
