[Review + Giveaway] SONY, Charge!

Looking for COMPACT portable gadget chargers?
*zhutz!*

SONY CP-ELS USB Portable charger is here to the rescue!

These SONY babies weigh a mere 87grams,
only 125mm long (that's only 12.5cm),
26.5mm wide (that's not even 3cm!)
28mm in depth (this is ALSO not even 3cm!).




We talk about COMPACT.

This is small enough to be fit into handbags, clutches, small sling bags, even waist pouches. Reminds me of those old School JPG waist pouches.    >^ o ^  <


Then we talk about PORTABLE.
THIS. IS. WHAT. I. CALL. PORTABLE.
You can bring it wherever you go!














With this charger, you don't need to ask around for smartphone chargers, specially iPhones! * roll eyes*, in midst of a meeting, while clubbing, chilling out with friends, or even having to snatch the usage of a power-point with your loved ones at home (should there be not enough power-point in the house like mine. Extension plugs not enough!). Unless you forgot to charge your battery, of course. >=.="  <

The SONY USB portable power supply battery is available in TWO colours:

SONY CP-ELS  = White
SONY CP-ELSB = Black


The black version is brand new and will launch at the IT Show on 8th March 2012.


All chargers come with additional USB cable.

Specifications:
USB chargeable
Battery Capcity: 2000mAh
Maximum USB Output Capacity: 5V, 1.0A
1st Charge: Approximately 6 hours.

Re-charging: USB plug-in
Additional: Micro-USB cable

USB chargeable with 3rd party USB cable.

Works on these following devices:

Besides using a USB port of my PC, I'm using my BB charger using the micro-USB side:







As well as my iPhone charger:


Using the same cable which comes in the box, all I have to do is to switch to the other side of the charger and charge my phone. It's especially convenient for micro-USB charging smartphones; you don't have to carry a 3rd party cable out!






Green light indicating that it's charging. :)
