Turbo Charge Your Cell Phone

When it rains it pours - there are some days when my cell phone rings off the hook and everybody and their brother calls me one after another, burning out my battery. When I’m having one of those days and out and about, my phone battery just dies. Sure, there are disposable cell booster chargers available for $10+ but I’m too cheap to buy those since you just throw it away, and they don’t last very long anyway. But now there’s a charger you can use over and over again with AA batteries.

The Turbo Charge is a reusable, portable cell phone charger that is powered by a single AA battery. It is about the size of a lipstick tube, and easily fits into your purse or pocket. It’s a perfect companion for a day at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or anywhere you can think of. Also if your power goes out, this device is an excellent addition to your home’s emergency or hurricane preparation kit. You could power your cell phone with a bunch of AA batteries if you had to.

Turbo Charge is guaranteed to not damage your cell phone or its battery. The device has a tiny circuit board with custom Dual AlgorChip technology to prevent overloading your cell phone’s battery. Once you plug it into your cell phone, the AA battery inside will give you about two hours of talking or 40 hours of standby time. You will know to change the battery when the blue light no longer illuminates. Since it’s so small, you can continue your phone conversations with the contraption hanging right off the phone. Never again will you lose a call to a dead battery while you’re taking in some sun at the beach.

The Turbo Charge pack includes one Turbo Charger, one AA battery and your choice of four adapters. The first package is for Motorola, Motorola Razr, LG and Kyocera. The other is for Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Nextel. Also hitting the market is the iTurbo, an iPod back-up battery booster. No price released was on this yet but you should see it around September.

Mr. Ink Plus is the only place in Hawaii to stock the Turbo Charge (and also the future iPod Back-up Battery Booster). Make your way there and find one for an affordable $19.95 (plus tax). Mr. Ink Plus is located at 670 Auahi Street (behind the CompUSA on Ala Moana Boulevard). You can also buy the Turbo Charge online (www.turbocellcharge.com), but it will cost you $29.95 plus shipping.
