Chirag 5 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 A battery-powered cellphone charger Rediff.com | A Ganesh Nadar | November 22, 2005 Finally here's something every long-distance traveller has been looking for: a low-cost, battery-powered mobile phone charger. BPL has launched a battery-operated emergency cellphone charger for Rs 200. The charger operates on two pencil cells which provide 90 minutes of talk time to your mobile phone. These cells cost Rs 7 each. The device comes with four different adaptors that can help charge almost any mobile phone in popular use in India today. It looks like a cigarette lighter and is very easy to carry. The charger, however, is not suitable for CDMA phones; meaning not for those who use the services of Tata Indicom or Reliance India Mobile. Meanwhile, Indu Loganathan, a user of one such charger says: "Such a cellphone charger is available in Chennai for Rs 100. But that is a non-branded, assembled kind" So to be on the safe side, go for a BPL branded charger which also comes with a three-month guarantee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
