One Line of Universal Battery Chargers to Rule Them All

Online, May 13, 2010 (Newswire.com) - ShopXtreme.com is pleased to announce the introduction of the IUC line of universal battery chargers. ShopXtreme.com is the first North American distributor of the IUC chargers, which are truly universal in every sense of the word. Able to charge lithium ion and NiMH batteries, the IUC line of battery chargers use sliding connectors that adjust to fit batteries of all shapes, sizes, and types. Manufactured by Taiwan-based iWap, these truly revolutionary chargers not only charge a multitude of different batteries, but also serve as a backup battery source and can even revive over-discharged or "dead" rechargeable batteries.

Using their sliding connectors, the IUC-11, IUC-17, and IUC-23 chargers are capable of recharging up to 99% of 3.7V and 7.4V lithium-ion batteries. The IUC-17 and IUC-23 models come with the added benefit of being able to charge AA-size and AAA-size NiMH batteries, as well as an accelerated "Turbo" charge mode. A port on the front of the each charger allows for charging of up to 4 USB devices simultaneously, in addition to whatever battery is loaded into the charging tray. Each of the chargers features patented technology that automatically detects the polarity of the battery terminals, so putting a battery in backwards or upside down is never an issue.

Two of the most intriguing features, however, are the "Power Bank" and battery revival functions. The Power Bank mode allows you to charge a USB device using a battery in the charging tray, essentially turning the charger into a backup battery source. But the biggest selling point of the chargers is the Revive function, which rejuvenates "dead" batteries that have been over-discharged and collecting dust.

Dmitry Kaplan, VP of Sales & Marketing at ShopXtreme.com, explains that "The best part about these chargers is that they perform so many functions, and each of them so well. Whether it's charging lithium-ion or NiMH batteries of all sorts, charging USB devices, reviving dead batteries that are unusable, charging batteries in "Turbo" mode, or providing backup power on the go, the IUCs can do it."

The iWap IUC-11, IUC-17, and IUC-23 are available now through ShopXtreme.com for $26.99, $35.99, and $59.99, respectively.
