CHARGE2GO WINS 2007 CES AWARD FOR POWER STATION

November, 9, 2006 – Charge2Go a leader in AA battery power supplies for mobile electronics, announced today the November 28 launch of the Charge2Go Power Station, a 2-AA battery solution for external charging that offers wide compatibility and features. The Power Station units will be compatible with most Smart Phones, MP3 Players, Gaming Devices, Cell Phones and more. Units include a tri-mode LED flashlight. The Power Station just won the award of INNOVATIONS HONOREE in Portable Power from the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Charge2Go was the first single-AA battery charger for mobile phones. This product received an endorsement from Duracell, the largest battery company in the world, and many Awards including BEST OF AMERICA 2006 from Reader’s Digest Magazine, BEST OF WHAT’S NEW 2005 from Popular Science and BEST OF INNOVATIONS 2005 from CES. The single-AA unit was covered in over 60 media outlets and got tens of millions of impressions. Customers asked for more in the next product: more power, more features and, most often, greater compatibility for more products.

Charge2Go Power Station is just that, more of what customers asked for. At launch, the Power Station will have connectors for most mobile phones and, new to the line up, the largest brands in the Smart Phone market (e.g. Nokia, Treo and Blackberry) and USB power devices. In the months to come, connections for most MP3 players (e.g. iPod) and gaming devices (e.g. PSP) will be available. The number one added feature requested by customers of the Charge2Go Pocket Socket was a high-performing flashlight. The Power Station offers three modes: strobe, latched, and timed for its 2-white LED high-beam flashlight. Unlike cheaper LED flashlights, the Power Station’s dual light LED will not diminish in quality after multiple uses and the beam does not weaken during use.

The Charge2Go Power Station is based on patent pending microprocessor technology that learns and optimizes both input and output characteristics. Battery chemistry recognition software adapts the Power Station operation for optimal performance with alkaline, rechargeable or lithium AA battery inputs. On the output side, the software constantly monitors and adapts to the load requirements, allowing the Power Station to be the only charging device needed to power your Cell Phone, PDA or Smart Phone, MP3 Player, Bluetooth Headset or Gaming Device.

One user-operated push button controls all functions of the device, with a user friendly red-green LED interface. The Power Station includes a battery freshness tester, so that you aren't caught reusing old batteries or disposing of good batteries prematurely. The Power Station is at home in your pocket, table-top or palm of your hand. Its unique patent pending industrial design has elegance, yet is functional and robust with a rubberized textured outer surface. This is a designer product from the award-winning Scott Henderson.
