In today’s society and its dependence on constant connectivity, running
out of battery on your smartphone is a surefire way to ruin the day. Cue
the Chargerito,
which claims to be the world’s smallest phone charger. Essentially no
more than a micro USB or Apple Lightning port embedded in a plug, the
Chargerito allows you to plug your device directly into any wall socket
and is approximately the size of a car key fob, whilst managing to
incorporate a bottle opener into the design as well. According to its
creators, the Chargerito can fully charge an iPhone 5 in two hours.
Chargerito is currently crowdfunding the cost of manufacture, and will
start shipping units in January 2015. The Chargerito is available for
pre-order online for $19 USD.
