ChargerGenie® evolved from Real Life Experience of Founder/Inventor Jeannie (aka "Genie")

As a working technology executive with plenty of gadgets, Jeannie spent her fair share of time in hotel rooms and on the road where she realized that finding a place to charge and losing chargers were a big problem.  Even in modern hotel rooms, the outlets were never ample enough - especially for family vacations. Tired of tripping over power-cords, crawling behind nightstands and charging her phone in the bathroom she began to carry her electronics in a plastic bag and kept a power-strip in her luggage. The plastic bag was soon replaced with a more durable canvas tote and she wondered "Why the two had never been joined before?." After much searching, she couldn't believe it had never been done --and ChargerGenie® was born!  Meet Jeannie (aka "Genie") in the video!

 FAQ

Question:  I know sometimes on crowd funding sites the product never gets made.  Will I definitely receive my ChargerGenie®?

Yes! ChargerGenie® is already being manufactured and soon shipping to the USA to our E-Commerce fulfillment partner, Fulfillrite in Lakewood, New Jersey. TakeCharger LLC has invested its own money to make the product before launching on Indiegogo so ChargerGenie® has been de-risked to ensure every ChargerGenie® order would be fulfilled.

Question:  Why is ChargerGenie® plugged into a wall and not a battery pack?

Answer: They do different things. ChargerGenie® stores and charges all types of devices so you would keep your portable battery charger in your ChargerGenie® when it's not in use.  While portable battery charges are useful and improving, they have capacity limits and the more powerful ones are expensive ranging in prices from $40 for a simple phone top-off device up to $200 for one that will add 5 hours to a tablet.  The portable battery has to then be charged itself.  ChargerGenie® delivers a powerful 1875 watts and can fully charge and power 8 devices at once including a laptop.  ChargerGenie® is light weight and at $49.99 MSRP delivers great value.  When on the road, you can carry your portable battery with you and when you return to your hotel or home - charge and store it in your ChargerGenie®.

Question:  Can I order this product outside of North America?

Answer:  ChargerGenie® has UL approval in USA and Canada.  We are not currently shipping outside of North America.
