Today Sprint announced today that it is first-to-market with the Energizer® Energi To Go™ portable, battery-driven charger. This reusable, compact and lightweight charger is powered by one Energizer® e²® Lithium AA battery. It features a single-barrel design made of durable spun aluminum and a patented intelligent control chip that maximizes power transfer from the charger to the phone. It also works with 80 percent of Sprint Nextel phones on the market, providing Sprint customers greater mobility to continue to talk, be entertained and now charge their phone on the go! The power demands on a wireless phone have increased as phones have evolved in how they are used. Many wireless phones are Web-enabled, able to send and receive email, take pictures, play music and videos and serve as personal organizers. According to market research group Roper ASW, 20 percent of consumers lose wireless phone power at least once a week.

The Energizer Energi To Go is available at Sprint Stores nationwide. The Energizer Energi To Go accessory package is available for $24.99 and includes the reusable charger, three tips and an Energizer e² Lithium AA battery. The tips include a universal Sprint CDMA connector, a mini-USB and universal iDEN connector, enabling customers to charge a variety of Sprint Nextel phones while on the go. For maximum performance, Energizer recommends powering Energizer Energi To Go power packs with Energizer e² Lithium batteries. Energizer e² Lithium is the world’s longest lasting AA battery in high tech devices.
