Executive Summary About Best Cell Phone by Kevin Stith

Cell phones have become a part of every day living. Most cell phones are equipped with a lithium ion battery. They are specifically designed for a specific type of cell phone that can be found at any major cell phone company. Lithium ion cell phone batteries are rechargeable and can be recharged in any power outlet using a power cord.

The battery need not be removed from the cell phone unless it needs to be replaced. Companies like Nokia, Samsung, Panasonic, Motorola and many other provide a charger as part of the cell phone package.

Can Your Cell Phone Charger Help Save The Planet?
Executive Summary About Best Cell Phone by Marc Ilgen

Although cell phone chargers are necessary for keeping your phone juiced and ready-to-go at all times, and are relatively small, they actually consume a small amount of electricity if left plugged into the wall socket after charging.

Although tests using a electricity meter show that basic cell phone chargers don't consume enormous amounts of energy, and manufacturers are getting better at improving energy usage, when you add up all the cell phone chargers in the world the total energy used still amounts to significant numbers.

Up-to-date chargers are usually "switched-mode" or "switching" power supplies, which means they contain tiny computer chips that manage the conversion from AC to DC, although bigger adapters of this kind that are found in computers still use electricity when the power is switched off. Other smaller adaptors typically use about 1 watt to a third of a watt of power.

Many people use a power strip for conserving power when appliances are not in use. Of course, the easiest way to save energy when using cell phone chargers is to unplug them when you're not charging the phone. As a result, the EPA is taking note and paying attention to the issue of cell phone chargers and energy preservation. Some chargers transfer less than half the energy they consume to the actual cell phone. Samsung already jumped the gun by introducing Energy Star Chargers last year.
