World's smallest cell phone charger

The Devotec Fuel Micro Charger is the smallest emergency phone charger, and its 220 milliAmp hour battery is designed to give you around 20 - 30 minutes extra talk time, or up to a few hours more standby, depending on how you use your cell phone. 




It is absolutely tiny - just 1.3 by 0.9 by half an inch. It's so small that
it can sit easily on your keyring, you can slip it into the 5th pocket 
of your jeans, or even have it hanging off your cellphone. 




The Devotec Fuel Micro Charger has a rechargeable battery inside 
that is recharged via its female micro-usb port at the bottom of the device.



Charge up the Fuel Micro Charger from the supplied cable or any 
AC micro-usb wall plug. Then just put it in your pocket, on your key 
chain or in your car and forget about it. 


On the outside of the case, you will see three LEDs. These help tell you 

if the Fuel is turned on, fully charged, or charging. 



The Devotec Fuel Micro Charger is an emergency back-up solution. 
The Micro Charger is fully rechargeable, and is able to keep it charge 
for at least 1 month before needing to be recharged.
