Through a partnership with XPAL Power, Energizer has expanded its Energi to Go line of portable battery packs in a big way. The newly branded chargers run the gamut from an iPhone 3G/3G S battery sleeve to a couple of solar chargers to a larger lithium ion charger that can juice up to three devices at once, including a laptop.

Most of the chargers include cell tips for various makes and models of cell phones, and you can get free new tips online as future phones come out.

Many of the battery packs are available already under the XPAL brand, but the new packaging should be appearing very soon in stores.

I'm not a big fan/proponent of solar (as current panels simply don't generate enough juice) but the solar models are very intriging. 6 hours is about how long my smart phone lasts me with the level of use I do, so a 6 hour solar charge would work pretty well.

Of course... I live in the Pacific Northwest so... sun's not exactly plentiful for most of the year. :)

Maybe it's just me...but I can't see the main picture of the product at the top of this article.
