\nA new range of products designed to eliminate \u00e2\u20ac\u0153wasteful stand-by consumption, also known as vampire power<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, promises to do just that. They are produced by Bracketron<\/a> and feature what the company calls GreenZero Technology. Their eco selling point is that they don’t consume energy when left plugged into power outlets, like most chargers do.<\/p>\n

The GreenZero chargers detect when the device is fully charged or unplugged, and then automatically shut off. The chargers then consume zero idle power to save energy, while also lengthening the life of the device battery by limiting top-off charging time. <\/p>\n

Bracketron\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s GreenZero product lineup includes the Mushroom GreenZero and Stone GreenZero wall chargers for mobile devices, and the Stone Battery, a mini portable power supply that is available for both iPhone and microUSB-connected mobile devices. <\/p>\n

The GreenZero chargers and battery were unveiled at the International CES 2012 in Las Vegas on January 12 and 13. The line will be available at retailers across the U.S. in March 2012.<\/p>\n
