The new myGrid drop-and-go charger saves up to 15 percent on energy costs. It is an innovative wireless charging pad device developed by Duracell to help private and business users to charge mobile devices.
The Duracell myGrid drop-and-go charging device is a wireless charger able to handle up to four mobile devices at a go. In order to make the mobile devices compatible to the charger a Power Clip or Power Sleeve accessory have to be added to the device.
According to Duracell, the charging system operates at the same speed as typical USB 2.0 connectivity chargers. The competitive advantage with myGrid is that it does automatically stop charging once the mobile device is fully charged. This will thus help to avoid over-charging and can help to save up to 15 percent on energy costs.
There are Power Sleeves ready for the iPod Touch, iPhone, as well as BlackBerry Pearl and Curve phones. All other devices such as Nokia handsets can be charged via the mini-USB port.
The myGrid Duracell charger does also have pre-installed safety features. The device is switch-off when something touches it. For instance, if a metal item like a coin or key touches the pad it will switch-off, equally if it detects moisture or a finger.
The myGrid charger doesn’t try to initiate a charging process on devices, which do not have a Power clip or Power Sleeve attached to it.
The myGrid cost around £69.99 while the Duracell Power Sleeves cost around £19.99.
This device is very new, but it has a rival known as Powermat, which is comparatively cheaper and priced at £55.55.
The key aspect of this device is that it helps to save energy as it avoids over-charging. It contributes to energy conservation.
