Santa Fe, California-based, mobile accessory company, Cellet seems to have come up with a way to keep you running with a lipstick-sized charger that uses just one AA battery. Called the Emergency Charger, it will help you by trickling out enough “juice” to tie you over until a full-fledged energy source can be found.
Actually, it looks more like a cross between a Chapstick and lipstick. It consists of a cylindrical case (approximately 3-inches tall and about 3/4-inch in diameter) that encloses an AA battery (1.5 volt). Just unscrew the bottom to insert the battery. Then take the cable that’s included in the packaging (5-inch long, end-to-end), and plug one side into the Emergency Charger and the other into the Centro.
Just plug and go. I ran an experiment using the Propel battery gauge on my Centro. My initial reading was 56%. After being plugged into the Cellet Emergency Charger for 15 minutes, I gained 4%. I continued to use my Centro to monitor baseball scores and found myself at 64% after one hour. Guess it is the equivalent of what they call a trickle charge.
