R2-D2 USB Car Charger

So you need to charge up your gadgets on the road, but your car has no USB port? There’s a maintenance droid for that! The R2-D2 USB charger sits neatly in your cupholder, and plugs into a 12VDC cigarette lighter jack, providing your with a pair of USB charging ports. Each one offers 2.1 Amps of juice, so they’re good for both smartphones, tablets and other gadgets. Though it’s likely not enough power to recharge a lightsaber.

Of course, what makes the R2-D2 charger better than some cheap USB car charger is that a) he looks like R2-D2 and b) his head lights up, turns and he utters bleeps and bloops when you connect him or start charging a gadget. Of course, he might make you want to paint the center console of your car to look like an X-Wing Fighter to complete the effect.

Hyperspace on over to ThinkGeek, where you can grab the R2-D2 USB charger for $39.99(USD).
