Energizer showcases new power solutions at CES (hands-on)

Energizer is on hand here at the Mirage for Digital Experience, where it's demonstrating tons of power solutions, ranging from solar to induction. It's making some additions to its Energi To Go line that will surely appeal to most consumers. Our favorite offering was the new EnergiStick, which comes in both microUSB and mini USB varieties, and will keep your cellphone (or other micro/mini USB equipped electronic) charged for an additional 30 minutes. There's also a new induction charging unit set to ship this summer for around $100. Finally, Energizer's showing off its tree-hugging side with a new line of flashlights that employ a hybrid charging scheme -- they use solar cells and have manual hand cranks.

Power to the people through ubiquitous induction table-tops everywhere!

(No if only hotel rooms at least had power sockets near the beds!)

I really like that USB plug-in idea. If we wanted a manual hand crank for a cellphone, will we have to use a bicycle to give it enough power? I have one of those flashlights and they are a great idea.

Don't know if those handcranks are really that good. Have to crank for ages to really get enough juice into the battery to last. Heard bike generators are much better, more power.
