EcoCharge may just stomp on AT&T’s Zero Charger. The economical charger claims to almost completely eliminate vampire draw while there are no connected devices. Vampire draw (or standby power, phantom load, vampire power or leaking electricity) is a term for the electric power that is used by electronic devices or gadgets when they are on standby or switched off.

The asset that EcoCharge has over AT&T’s Zero Charger is that it has one port for a mini USB and one port for an additional full-sized USB that would allow two devices to charge at the same time. The company also claims to minimize the leaking electricity more efficiently than the AT&T charger. Jeff Lime, VP of Ventev, had this to day about their charger:

“The EcoCharge is a game changer in the mobile device charger market, both on the energy conservation and innovation fronts. In addition to being Energy Star certified and exceeding the 5-Star efficiency rating, the EcoCharge charges two devices at one time, is packed with user friendly features like our power strip friendly design, and gives our customers the confidence to leave it plugged in by eliminating the Vampire Power draw concern when no device is connected, or when the device is fully charged.”

The slim, portable charger also has a vertical plug position option that will help it squeeze in with other sockets. Just like in other chargers and electrical devices, the EcoCharge has an LED light that indicates when the charger is sucking up electricity and when it is idle. An iPhone/iPod version of EcoCharge will be on sale this April. The bottom plug for the Apple version is, of course, going to be a dock connector but the USB port will remain behind the flip cover. Currently on sale is the micro/mini USB version.
