New Options for Rechargeable Palms

The PDA Instant Power Charger from Electric Fuel includes a 2" x 2" zinc-based PowerCartridge that is activated when exposed to air, an adapter that connects the universal cartridge to a specific PDA model, and an airtight pouch designed to store the cartridge between uses in order to halt the chemical reaction and thereby preserve power for the next use. The whole package weighs about 3 ozs. and sells for $20. Each cartridge is good for up to three charges. Replacement cartridges are sold separately for $10.

There are versions availabe for the m500 series, Palm V series, Visor Edge, Visor Prism, VisorPhone, and several types og Minstrel modems.

VisorSolutions.com is now selling a charger adaptor and AA charger for the Visor Prism for $33. The adaptor plugs into the HotSync port and allows the user to plug the cradle power supply in for charging on the road. You can also plug in a car DC cord. The charger holds four AA batteries.

Another Prism Charger

If you are interested in the Prism Charger, you should also take a look at Tech Center Labs' Emergency Charger:
http://www.talestuff.com/
It doesn't offer the car adapter but is only $20.

My "emergency" charger only
costs $18 and has the hotsync
adaptor built onto the end of
the cable. You don't need any
extra adaptor. With TaleStuff,
you buy the charger AND
adaptor which is around $35
total.

I stand corrected. TCL charges
$20 for the adaptor, and $16
for the Emergency Charger, or
$34 for both. I charge $15 for
the adaptor and $18 for the
charger, or $33 for both. If you
just need the AA charger, I
charge $18 and they charge
$34.
