What is Vampire Power?
Just about everything plugged into your home and office sucks
power from the wall, even when they’re turned off. This is called
standby power, or VAMPIRE POWER. Even devices meeting Energy
Star guidelines suck Vampire Power.
The only true way to eliminate Vampire Power is to either unplug
all your chargers or manually turn off your power strips…until
now! Power products with iGo Green Technology shut off when
they’re not needed and provide full power when needed,
automatically. Only iGo Green power products drive a stake
through the heart of Vampire Power without you ever having to
do a thing.
