Congrats to the Winner of the Autosavant Portable Power Contest!

Congrats to the Winner of the Autosavant Portable Power Contest!

By Chris Haak

Congratulations go to commenter Scott, whose answer I liked the best, in Autosavant’s Portable Power contest.  Under the very vague rules of “I’ll pick the answer I like the best,” I happened to like Scott’s combination of commentary and a comprehensive list of uses for the charger.  His comment said, “Great giveaway Autosavant! I would use this in my car for roadtrips to keep all the extra electronic stuff the family carries around humming! Cell phones need to stay charged, portable nav system to help us get where we’re going, laptop, refrigerated cooler for drinks/snacks, it never ends. Most cars today don’t have enough 12V outlets, and very few have built-in AC outlets, the more the merrier!”

For his enthusiasm and great answer, Scott gets a new Black & Decker 100-watt portable electronics charger shipped to his door.  Black & Decker is providing the prize and paying for shipping to the winner’s home.  Congratulations, Scott!  One thing, though:  I wouldn’t try plugging in all of those devices at the same time.  I don’t think 100 watts will cover all that, but remember that B&D makes much more powerful inverters as well.

Thanks to all who entered, and stay tuned for future giveaways.
