Tiny phone charger uses AA batteries

You simply cannot afford to have your technology go dark because it ran out of power. No matter where you are or when, it simply must work.

Nipper is a small, easy-to-carry phone charger that can keep you going when your battery is drained. It’s small enough to be your backup’s backup.

Its makers claim Nipper is the smallest phone charger ever made. It’s just two squares held together by magnets and a small leather strap. Combined it holds two AA batteries and a micro-USB connector compatible with leading Android phones like Samsung, HTC, Nokia or LG. An iPhone Nipper is in development.

Nipper attaches to your keychain or can be stashed in a pocket.
