Remember I once mentioned that induction technology would revolutionize “chargers” as we know them? No more plugs, no more heat, no more accidents, just place your device on a platter and... “let the Spice flow” (so as to quote Frank Herbert's Dune). Well, induction technology is slowly taking over. Today, the Energizer Power & Play from Energizer and Performance Designed Products LLC, tomorrow the world!

Jeff Ziminski, Chief Marketing Officer, Energizer, declared the following regarding the company’s latest endeavor to bring Wii players peace of mind (yes, it is for the Wii), “Energizer is always looking at innovative solutions to power people’s lives, and the Flat Panel Induction Charger does just that for everyone who likes gaming. […] Utilizing contactless charging technology, the Flat Panel Induction Charger makes charging your Wii remote simple and convenient.”

All that Wii players need is to put down the remote and... the charge pack will do the rest. Speaking of players, since most Wii players have four remotes at home, the charge pad comes in size 2 and size 4 depending one how many remotes you have. Quite a deal, right? You will also be happy to know that the gadget is currently available and you'll be paying 29.99 USD for the two-remote charger or 49.99 should you go for the full course and get the four-remote Energizer Flat Panel Induction Charger.

How about we listen to John Moore, Senior Vice President of Marketing, PDP, before ending this cute and entertaining article? “PDP wants to make charging your game controller as convenient and simple as possible so you can continue on with the important part – gaming. […] The Energizer Power & Play product line continues to grow, and new products like the Energizer Flat Panel Induction Charger keep the line on the cutting edge.”
