A few simple tools are all that is needed to install a Power2U yourself.

Apple accessory maker NewerTechnology recently released a specialized electrical outlet, called the Power2U, that includes two USB ports for charging mobile devices. Available in four colors'to match any dÃ©cor'and coming in at just under $30, it seems like a handy upgrade for the home.

We installed one ourselves to see just how easy it is as a DIY project and to get a feel for the convenience it offers. We came away learning more about installing electrical equipment in a home than we expected, but once installation was complete, the results spoke for themselves.

The Power2U includes 2 USB ports that can output a total of 10W for charging mobile devices.
