Just when you thought chargers couldn’t possibly get any smaller, along comes the Motormonkey by Powertraveller. The company postulates it is “the world’s smallest and lightest in-car charger.”
Unlike bulkier chargers with long chords, the Motormonkey sits right in line with the socket, which makes it unobtrusive. After all, the short cord means your favorite Mp3 player, cellphone, or game player won’t lie under tangled mess.
There’s no need to worry about draining your car’s battery either. You can leave the Motormonkey charger plugged in at all times, even when your car is off, because it automatically shuts down when not in use. It also senses when a charge is complete and turns itself off. Now that’s one smart monkey!
Motormonkey supports Apple iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPod Touch and other iPod series via a Motormonkey USB socket.
