“We believe that a universal standard is the future of charging, and by leading the way with one of the first Qi products – the Energizer® Inductive Charger – we are meeting a clear need for a product that makes charging devices easier by eliminating cords and clutter,” said Jim Olsen, Vice President of Marketing for Energizer North America. “This next generation charger is a natural extension of an innovative product portfolio that brings more freedom for people to live and to work using power that’s reliable and convenient.”

The Energizer Inductive Charger will required additional sleeve. It will be introduced with a Qi Sleeve for the iPhone 3GS/3G and a one-time replacement Qi Door for the BlackBerry Curve 8900. The suggested retail price is $89 and the Qi sleeve for the iPhone 3GS/3G and the Qi door for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will be sold separately for $34.99 each.

“Energizer is always innovating to meet the needs of manufacturers and consumers alike,” said Jeff Ziminski, Chief Marketing Officer. “As devices continue to get smaller and smaller, we see a greater need and relevance for the Energizer AAAA.” Energizer has been actively partnering with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) companies to help them design around the AAAA battery. Recently, GN, the world leader in innovative headset solutions, launched the AAAA battery-powered Bluetooth headset.

The AAAA is 42.5 mm long and 8.3 mm in diameter and weighs approximately 6.5 grams. This means that the AAAA batteries weigh 43 percent less, are 40 percent smaller in volume, and are 20 percent thinner than the standard AAA. The Quad A is currently used in flash audio players, Bluetooth headsets, laser pointers and LED penlights, remote controls, and home medical devices, like glucose meters and blood pressure monitors.
