As well as the all-too-familiar AAs, Varta has a pile of products (http://www.en.varta-consumer.com/en/Products/Portable%20Power.aspx) for the power hungry smartphone and tablet user. With the increasing popularity of wireless charging, it's not unsurprising that Varta is bringing a Qi charger to market.

Expected to arrive later in the year, the charger will priced a little over £30.
