VARTA Charge and Go : It takes only 15 minutes !
Usually I don’t blog about gadgets and devices because on this blog I discuss about arts, self help and anything that makes us feel relaxed. Today’s post is a bit special because the gadget I am talking about has greatly eased my 2-month backpacking trip in Europe. It simply made my traveling experience more relaxed so I feel the need to share such a wonderful stuff with you.
VARTA is a well known battery maker in Europe. Its head office is in Ellwangen, Germany. It is just 15 minute ride from my place. Another famous company near my place is Carl Zeiss, the best optical instrument maker in the world. It’s cool to live near these big companies.
Recently VARTA has launched their new product called 15 minutes Charge and Go !
Self-explanatory, it simply charges their special AA and AAA size batteries in just 15 minutes !
The coolest part is that the batteries outperform similar rechargeable batteries that take more than 8 hours of charging. I am brutally honest here.
A set of such AA batteries can last for more than a day in a digicam for a backpacker like me.
I got this stuff quite early maybe because I live quite near to VARTA headquarter.
In my first backpacking trip I have to charge my batteries for many hours and that is quite stressful for a person who has to move about frequently. Today with these VARTA batteries, I just need to charge them while enjoying my meals. Everything is just so easy !
Now I just need to bring an army of 8 VARTA batteries in my backpack adventure.
I will never look back again. No regrets, no problem, and there is only comfort and satisfaction.
* Update
OK guys, I have found out that the price for the double slot AA / AAA battery charger (exactly same as in the picture) costs only 30 Euro (batteries included) and a pair of AA batteries alone costs 8 Euro. The full 4 battery slots charger cost about 70 euro.
If you live near Kuala Lumpur, I might get it for you, for a little bit of commission of ccourse
