This time around, TCL has released a nifty new emergency charger for all Palm devices utilizing the Athena/MultiConnector plug type. The new TCL charger joins the existing TCL USB charger and utilizes either a conventional AA alkaline throwaway battery, a NiMH rechargeable AA or a higher-capacity disposable lithium battery such as this type (.pdf link) offered by Energizer for specialty photo applications. The chargers have built-in circuitry to give the correct voltage required by Palm devices so as not to over or under-charge their batteries. TCL are offering a total of four variations of the charger: $9.95 for the charger in silver or black without a battery and $10.95 for the charger in without or black and bundled with a disposable lithium battery included.

Just to clarify, although I did design the very first Emergency Charger for PDAs (pats himself on back ;) I sometimes come across products that are a great value and put them on the web site. This is one of those products, when I looked into designing a single cell charger a few years ago just the electronics required was close to $50.
For those that like to mess with electronics, the little circuit board could be powered by three silicon solar cell instead of the ten normally required to produce 5 volts for a solar charger.
