It makes sense that Energizer would be in the charger game, what with disposable batteries going the way way of the dodo. What might surprise some is that they have gone out and created a product exclusively for Wii-motes, in this case a very cool one. The Wii Energizer 2x Induction Charge Station is a neat little unit that charges up your Wii controllers without taking the batteries out thanks to an induction charging system.

Price; $50 (Available from June 1) [Amazon via BBG]

If you your ever growing mountain of rechargeable gadgets is starting to get out of hand, it might be time to get a charging station. There are plenty to choose from, but I am a wood man and I love mahogany. It also hides the rats’ nest of charger cables that builds up around gadget charging locations; which is nothing if not a plus. Price: $99 [ via Geek Alerts]

If you are heading into the wilderness, there is no need to leave technology behind. A GPS can be a very useful device to take along with you. In the old days, a portable GPS would set you back a pretty penny, but these days they are becoming very widespread. It is usually possible to find some bargains, but if you spend a little bit more money, you can get something like the Garmin Rino 530 HCx and it is a rocking portable unit.

The 530 HCx packs a lot of different technology into one little unit. The GPS information is displayed on a nice clear color display. While color is not strictly necessary, it does make it easier and faster to interpret information. Where the Garmin Rino 530 HCx departs from lesser models is with the extra features it packs in. It operates as a two-way radio with 14-mile range and manages to pack in an electronic compass, barometric altimeter that monitors weather trends and NOAA receiver. It has a micro-SD card slot, the micro-SD is, of course, not included. You do get one lithium-ion battery, which is good for about 14 hours of use, if you are going for an extended trip and are really getting off the beaten track, it is hardly enough. Sure, you can conserve power by switching it off when you do not need it, but you might want to look into some additional batteries and perhaps a solar charging station.

The Desktop Family Charging Station is similar to the Contemporary Mahogany in one aspect – both are able to hide the charger cords, creating a more organized scenario when comparing to other situations.

The Mahogamy can charge 4 gadgets simultaneously, and if the space for each device on the top isn’t enough, there are extra storage compartments (read drawers) to put other stuff.

Its space-saving design easily recharges cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, and games via a surge-protected power strip concealed inside.

Price: $150

The Stormtracker Weather Alert device is good gadget to have especially if you live in an area that gets slammed by horrible weather. This little device can perform a plethora of tasks such as weather alarm, Black and white TV ( why does the image show a color TV??), Radio, LED Lantern, LED Flashlight and Cell Phone Charger all rolled into one.
from the site:

It sits quietly but continuously tuned to the national storm alert/hazard warning system, then immediately sounds an alarm if severe weather approaches your area, especially important at night when the family is asleep. It travels with you to safety where you can tune in the radio or 5″ black-and-white TV for more information. Powered by a regular plug-in power adapter, 12- volt car power adaptor or its rechargeable battery pack, you also handcrank to power up the radio, a 6-LED area light, 3-LED flashlight or cell phone charging station with included universal adaptor set. The storm alert warning system also includes scrolling text.
