Innergie PocketCell™ charger – product review

Gone are the days when one carried one’s life in a Filofax. It’s much more likely that now it’s an iPhone. The advantage that the old paper-based life-carrier had over the high-tech version is that a traditional diary didn’t have batteries, and therefore no worries of running out of power. Now I need a charger!

I have tried, over the past year or so, several rechargers suitable for an iPhone but the Innergie PocketCell™ has the edge. Perhaps ‘edge’ is not quite the right word – it’s more hand-friendly, pocket-appropriate, high-end-PC-partnering curves and colours. At very first glance it ticks the ‘design’ box, having none of the pins and protrusions of some other devices.

The Innergie PocketCell™ is a universal rechargeable mobile battery bank that will recharge your iPhone or other USB-powered devices in a convincing fashion. It charges from a regular iPhone mains plug in the same way as one charges the phone. It can also be charged directly from a PC using the cable supplied, which has an Apple 30-pin connector plus micro- and mini-USB ports.

Innergie’s PocketCell™ has two USB ports: one is a micro-USB for charging the battery and the other a full-size USB for charging your device from the battery.

It’s a small and very neat device that measures only 90x28x20mm and weighs 70g. It comes in its own box but it’s sized to fit a small spectacle case if you want to look like the thorough ready-for-anything professional; a fashionable purse would likely be the choice for us ladies who’d like the technology on-hand but want to avoid the ‘gadget nerd’ title.

The PocketCell™ arrives pre-charged, and with a 3000mAh capacity it can fully charge your iPhone from flat in less than a couple of hours. Its thoughtful shape and 70g weight make this practical and portable, and one of the most efficient rechargers I have come across.
