Yogen Charger Review And Price

LAS VEGAS, USA--Having a flat mobile phone battery while traveling can be a frustrating experience, especially when you have no place to plug it in to recharge. The YoGen charger is designed to solve that problem as it requires only your hand action to juice up a portable device.

The idea is simple: Just plug in a device like a mobile phone or iPod and start pulling on the YoGen's string. This causes a disc in the body to rotate, which generates electric power for your device. According to the company, 1 minute of pulling is equivalent to 1 minute you charge through an AC charger. So technically, if it takes an hour to fully charge your battery. Pulling for 1 hour will do the job, too. But the point of the YoGen is more for emergency use, when you need to get enough battery power to make a flat cellphone work.

We tried it out and it seemed to charge our Nokia E71 fine. The only gripe was that the charging tip didn't fit securely, so it kept dropping out when pulling the cord. It is available from the company's online store and costs US$39.99.
