CES 2010 Hands On: Energizer XP400 Power Pack

It’s extremely important to stay connected these days. At an event such as CES, or any activity that requires using a lot of battery power, having charged devices is essential.

During CES Digital Experience, my phone’s battery was on its last leg. I needed my phone to take pictures, accept calls and check e-mail. That’s when I got my hands on Energizers XP4000 Power Pack. The XP4000 can charge digital camcorders, cameras, phones, mp3 players, Bluetooth devices and portable gaming consoles right out of the box.

Included in the packaging are six charging tips which more than likely fit the device you need charging. Also included is the XP4000 unit, AC adapter, DC cable, USB charging cable, DVD tips, travel bag and an EZ Charger used for internal camera batteries.

Shortly after opening the box I found the appropriate charging tip for my phone and connected it to one end of the included USB cable while the other end of the USB cable plugged into the XP4000 base. After tuning the device on, my phone began charging.

One of the things I liked the most about the XP4000 is the size of the base. It’s less than half an inch longer than a MyTouch 3G and isn’t as wide as a Nintendo DS. Even while charging my phone, the XP4000 sat comfortably in my pocket without forming a bulge. It also fully charged my phone in less than an hour.

The XP4000 appears to be a great back up charger to have around on long trips.

Note: Special thanks to Energizer for supplying Gadgetell with its charging products.
