Power to the People and Their Portables

With all of the computer peripherals that need a USB connection and portables that require a USB port for power, there never seem to be enough to charge every gadget. That's why Scosche's powerFUZE chargers supply extra USB ports for charging at home as well as in the car.

The powerFUZE chargers come in two basic flavors. The HC12VV shown above ($29.99) is the top-of-the-line version and comes with a home charger that plugs into the wall and a car charger that docks inside it, each with its own USB port. The USB12VM is simply a stand-alone car charger version, while other variations are available that also include an iPod/iPhone sync cable.

The dual 1-amp charging circuitry of the powerFUZE is designed to supply juice to your USB-powered portables as fast as possible, while the car adapter fits flush into the 12-volt socket of most vehicles.

So if your computer's USB ports are constantly clogged with peripherals and you don't have a way to charge your portable devices at home and in the car, Scosche's powerFUZE offers extra docks for very little dough.
