CES 2010: Energizer sponsors the Gadgetell crew

A few nights ago, I and the rest of the crew from the *tell sites attended Digital Experience. It’s an event like all the rest at CES where we get a little more face time with the exhibitors. And naturally, we went to our sponsor, Energizer, first.

Energizer was kind enough to sponsor us for CES this year and hook us up with enough batteries to run the Las Vegas strip for at least a second or two. Thankfully, since our gear doesn’t have as many flashing lights for strippers and buffets, Energizer’s batteries kept us going. Here’s what I used for the show.

iPower2 – I doubt it would look so elegant in expanded form (iPoweriPower), but this is a great choice for iPhone users. It’s similar to a case, but since there’s no power switch, this battery isn’t meant to be on your iPhone when it doesn’t need to be charging. When you do decide to hook up the battery, just slide in the battery and it starts charging just like that. There’s a really nice power bar on the bottom of the case that is a display of remaining charge of the case. This is triggered by the power display button on the side, which also happens to be the only button on this guy. It recharges over mini USB, and will sync while in the battery case as well.

SP2000 – This is Energizer’s solar powered battery. It will harness the power of the sun, but will likely grab most of it’s power from the included power adapter. I’m yet to drain this one while out on the floor of CES. I’m also yet to open up the solar panels and convert some rays into volts, but I’m looking forward to it.

So in short, this is just my way of saying thanks to Energizer for the sponsorship. Thanks guys, you kept me powered while out on the floor.
