Simple Recharging

VARTA’s V-Man Home Station is a multi-charging unit for multiple types of mobile devices. Whether it’s a mobile phone, a digital camera, an MP3 player or Sony’s PlayStation Portable – VARTA’s versatile unit can simultaneously recharge up to four gadgets. VARTA’s V-Man Home Station is equipped with eight adapters, which can be used in any desired arrangement on the charging station. While VARTA’s device is charging your favorite gadgets, it can also recharge mignon (AA) and micro (AAA) rechargeable batteries – and it can do all this without the frustrating tangle of cords that so many other chargers have. The V-Man Home Station is available in retail stores for €49.99 (manufacturer’s recommended retail price).

Because VARTA’s charging station is so convenient to use, an international jury of specialized journalists and market professionals have now awarded the V-Man Home Station this highly desired prize. This award entitles VARTA’s V-Man Home Station to take its place in an elite series of products that have won this prize in past years. This latest award is the fourth such commendation earned by one of VARTA’s products.
