If you have ever packed up your smartphone charger for a day or more on the go and wondered why it was so big and bulky, you aren’t alone. Chargers seem to be much larger than they really need to be. A new product called the Chargerito claims to be the smallest smartphone charger ever, and from the looks of it just may be.
The Chargerito is small enough to be attached to a keychain and has folding outlet prongs. When deployed for use it has a small USB connector on top that plugs into your device. It can also be had with an Apple charger on it as well.
The charger has no wire and is designed to hold your smartphone on top while it charges. The entire charger measures 53mm x 33mm x 18mm. This is certainly the most compact charger I have ever seen, but the compact design could be a nuisance for some of us.
For instance, if you are the sort who uses the smartphone as it charges, the Chargerito won’t allow that. Assuming you don’t want to hang out near the outlet anyway. Right now, the tiny charger is seeking funding via crowdsourced methods and the device will sell for $19. So far, it has raised around $80,000.

Tyghe Conway – It isn’t a rechargeable portable battery/power bank, so it doesn’t have a mah capacity. This plugs into a wall outlet to charge your phone, just like an OEM travel/wall charger does.
I’m interested in the Volt/Amp output, but I’m assuming by its small size it would be too low for my needs (Note 3 or 4 and Nexus 7). Looks like I’ll stick with my 10,000mah power bank….
