Energizer 10W Apple Charger

I bought several of the 10W Wall Chargers for use with iPhones and iPads. I was pleased enough to place another order for several more. I like to have several chargers in multiple locations such as the bedroom, living room, at work, laptop bag, and luggage for traveling so I never have to worry about forgetting a charger.

Size:

From the photo, these appear to be similar in size to the Apple iPhone charger (only 1 Amp.) They are not. They are about 50% larger. This is OK as they are still relatively compact, but in a power strip you won't be able to get them in adjacent outlets. I tested this in a wall outlets and because wall outlets are spaced further apart than on a power strip, you can just get two of these in to the top and bottom outlet if you flip one over upside down. This shouldn't be a problem if you're plugging them in to a wall, but I only mention this because I imagined these being a little smaller than they actually are.

The Apple iPad charger is a larger rectangular brick that is designed to stick out more but not obscure adjacent outlet plugs which is a more efficient design. I'm not sure what Energizer was going for with design, but it seems like form took priority over function.

Folding Prongs:

The plug prongs fold in for travel which is a nice feature.

Performance:

Short of connecting a meter up to this, I have observed very similar charging speeds with this as compared to the Apple 2.1 Amp iPad charger, so it appears these are delivering a full 2.1 Amps.

The iPad and iPhone charges as fast as it does with the Apple iPad charger.

Faster charging with iPhone:

The iPhone charges faster with a 2.1 Amp charger than it does with a 1 Amp charger taking advantage of the additional power output (up to 80%, after 80% iPhones turn to a slow charge to protect the battery.) This is true with this charger as well as any 2.1 Amp charger including the Apple charger.

I shopped around a bit for a 2.1 Amp charger that was less expensive than the Apple charger. I found a lot knock offs with questionable reviews (such as that they don't deliver an actual 2 Amps of power.) I trust the Energizer brand and the price is about half of Apple's price. I would recommend this charger so long as you're OK with the size and shape.

I'll try to post pictures.

Charges the new Ipad (2012) very fast, as fast as the original Apple charger.

Well built, sturdy, does not feel cheap.

This comes with 2ft Apple Dock Connector cable, not 1.70 cm like listed in the product information.

I got mine from Amazon directly.

This is a great little car charger for multiple devices. We used it to charge my son's iPod and it worked fairly quickly, and very easily. It has a general USB port, so it can charge anything that will utilize that type of port.

The single complaint I have is that the cord is not very long at all. It certainly reaches to charge something placed in a center console, or stretched to the limit on the passenger seat, but would not not reach any further.

A longer cord would be a nice option for road trips where the passengers in the back seat could have something plugged in, or to make front seat charging a bit easier (the device could sit more safely at the back of the front seat rather than at the edge).

Generally, I think it is a handy device with multiple uses if you are going to use it close at hand.

I have an iphone 4s and I noticed when using apple and 3rd party power adapters I would get static in the background while playing music or in the phone audio. The energizer was a step up for me. It charged my iPhone but I did not notice the static. I also used it to keep an ipod touch 4 charged while on a road trip.No complaints and the included cable is really well made. Not like some of the cheap *#($%X^& cables I've tried elswhere. It will charge many USB products like my Kindle DX! So I think this is a 5 start worthy product.

First, I like how this comes with its own cable, so I can keep my cable at home. The charger fits perfectly into the car lighter and I can charge up my IPHONE4 on the go!
