Gear Review: Lenmar 2x USB Charger
December 17, 2011
Frank@OBOW in Gear Reviews, Tech for travel

Every now and then I come across a small item I like and will give it a quick review.

Today, it’s the Lenmar Dual USB Charger (ACUSB2/ACUSB2K). This is a small, portable USB charger for smartphones, cell phones, mp3 players, etc. (It’s probably not meant for a large tablet.)  It can charge two devices at once.

It’s dual voltage  (100-240v) so you don’t need a converter, and it has a fold down/flip-up plug.

Dimensions are 2.8” x 2.0” x 0.6” /70mm x 51mm x 15mm and it weights 2 ounces.

I have, and have reviewed, its larger cousin that charges 4 devices at once and comes with a set of propriety plugs so it can be used all over the world. I found I never needed to charge 4 devices at once and the set was bulky. This one is lighter, smaller, and I can carry a set of international adapters to use with all devices.

The charger retails for $14.99 but I got mine at Amazon, in black, for $10. They also have it in white for just under $14.

The Ipod Touch in the photos does not come with the device. I just put it there to give a size perspective.

I like it and it has now replaced the bulkier, larger and heavier charger I mentioned above.
