It would be difficult for the Energi to have a more minimalist design. It consists of just two parts: a gray-and-silver oblong battery holder and a short power connector. Energizer sells adapters for most Samsung, Sprint, Motorola, and Nokia handsets, while a USB version is available as well. Energizer claims that 80 percent of cell phone brands are supported, but we weren't able to find a connector for a Sony Ericsson.
To use the charger, you first must put the supplied lithium AA batteries into the holder. The cover is a bit tricky to pry off, but it's solidly constructed. Once the batteries are in place, insert the cord into the holder and plug the adapter into the phone. In our tests, within seconds, the blue light on the holder started flashing and our Samsung SGH-D357 started receiving a charge. When we started the test, the SGH-D357's was about 25 percent depleted, but it was fully charged after about 30 minutes.
