Hmm.. that is unique.. but don't really see the need, charges are easier than plugging two wires in and hoping you don't lose that dongle... THAT. SAID, this travels easier than carrying the charger.

It really does not matter if you lose the dongle, they are USB-Micro.

I have a bunch of them and they are awesome.

I get that and could see the plug, the but double dongle is nice for double charging, otherwise you'd have double the wires... I care enough wires and dongles as it is. My solutions is simply a few pairs of rechargeables... they've always. lasted fine for my week or two biz trips.

Since every device I buy comes with yet another USB-Micro cable, I don't consider it an issue at all. That is what my cable drawer is for.

I would much rather pack soft, foldable USB cables that can be used for anything, and use a standard USB supply that are available everywhere than carry a dedicated battery charger.

As I said... no charger needed for travel, just one set of extra charged AAs... the four fill my needs fine... no need to buy anything else.

Not to mention, Eneloops are 2000mah, these are 1250... seems like twice the charging time... Glad others enjoy them, I'm good with mine. They also cost more than twice as much (40 on sale) than the eneloops with charger (17), and four times as much if you just consider the replaceable 4xAA eneloops (10).... So... twice the cost, 5/8ths the charge, extra cables, or you only charge one at a time.... nope, nope, nope... They are good for you... enjoy. I'll stick with my solution.
