It’s in order to help reduce that figure that the company produced the Visible Green Charger – an innovative device that automatically shuts off all power to a charger when the device is full.
When the Green Charger is connected to your iPhone or iPod you can see how fast it’s charging according to the visual flow down the lead. As the device approaches 2/3rd full, the flow slows down and when it’s fully topped off it, it kills power to the charger completely saving you money and helping to protect the environment. They’re available now for $29USD.

About Geekosity
Here at Geekosity we're dedicated to bringing you news you haven't read anywhere else. There's a hundred tech blogs out there, but have you ever noticed how they all cover the same stories, over and over again? We're happy to let them tell you about the latest iPad rumours for the 10th time you've heard it that day, or the news on Microsoft's profits for the 15th time that day. We look for equally interesting stories that have passed by the cloned tech news sites - stories about software, gadgets, science news - anything we think might interest like-minded geeks. The site is edited by Andy Hutchinson, a veteran tech journo with over 20 years experience in hardware, software, gadgets and free lunches with PR people. Thanks for dropping by.
