After AT&T's environmental-friendly charger built especially so that users can avoid vampire draws of energy comes Ventev with a similar solution designed to work with USB-powered mobile gadgets. Also portable, the Ventev EcoCHARGER Wall Charger is an even more energy-efficient and advanced solution for charging your gadgets, or so they say.

"The EcoCHARGE is a game changer in the mobile device charger market – both on the energy conservation and innovation fronts," said Jeff Lime, vice president of Ventev.  "In addition to being Energy Star certified and exceeding the 5-Star efficiency rating, the EcoCHARGE charges two devices at one time, is packed with user friendly features like our power strip friendly design, and gives our customers the confidence to leave it plugged in by eliminating the Vampire Power draw concern when no device is connected, or when the device is fully charged."

Ventev also boasts that their charger is up to ten times more energy efficient than other chargers available today and even has the corresponding Energy Star certification. The EcoCHARGER also comes in a slim design and a vertical plug positioning option so that it will not cover other sockets, a feature especially useful when employing a multiple socket adapter. One USB port is hidden and it can charge two devices at the same time; unfortunately, there are separate products for the Micro USB and the Mini USB port.

If you do not believe the EcoCHARGER's ability not to draw power while your gadgets are fully charged or plugged in, you can verify this information with the help of its LED that lights only when this wall charger draws electrical energy.

Ventev also announced the availability of the iPhone/iPod EcoCHARGER for April this year. The models designed for Micro USB or Mini USB-powered devices are available right now at $29.99.
