I received this as a gift, and was quite excited when I first got it. It seemed to work very well, it charged from the lamps in my house, it had many different kinds of connectors and it was a very handy size. But, as soon as I started to use it, I realized how poorly made it really was. The seller claims that it will work for any BlackBerry, but it wouldn't work for my Curve 8310 from the beginning. On top of that, the BlackBerry connector broke after just a few attempted uses. I have tried it on my iPod, and it gets the job done, but the battery doesn't last very long and it takes about 7 hours if you want to charge from solar. It does charge from three sources, but charge time isn't very good. The quality of the product is quite poor also. I was reading the labeling on the device, and some of the lettering was upside down. The device will tell me that it is fully charged when I push the "Status" light, but I will then plug it in and it charges for hours. The thing really isn't well made. Don't buy it. The thing is more trouble then it's worth.

Purchased product from vendor and it worked for two charges before failing. I was not able to charge it up again with the solar option. Vendor exchanged device for another one. So far I've been able to complete two charges. It takes something to recharge the battery pack with the solar charge.

It's hit and miss with this one.




2 out of 5 stars Great idea, but...   December 19, 2009

A solar charger for cellphones and personal electronics is a great idea, but this product falls short of greatness in several important respects.

Putting power in: the solar charging aspect of this is kind of a gimmick. I guess if you knew were going to be out in the desert holding still for hours under a blazing sun you might be able to depend on the little solar panel for some juice, but for most uses you'll have to plug this thing in somewhere. Unfortunately, that requires using a special cable. So if you forgot or misplaced the only cable in the world that will charge it you won't be able to charge this battery. If you lose their power-in cable, you'll have to buy another one from the manufacturer.

Taking power out: you also need a different special cable to get the power out of this thing, since it uses a female mini usb out the likes of which I've never seen before. Normal usb to mini usb cables won't do you any good. If you lose their special power-out cable, you'll have to buy another one from the manufacturer.

Small design: I like the look of this battery, but that small size is deceiving since you can't do anything with it unless you have the special cables mentioned above. It's also slippery to hold on to.

Rapid drain: the battery drains all by itself very quickly, so you can't just charge it up and depend on it being charged when you need it.

Suggestions for the manufacturer: make this battery work with conventional cables for both input and output; figure out how to make the battery hold a charge better.

Suggestion for consumers: take a look at the Powersource Mobile Mini by Xantrex. It's not solar, but it holds triple the charge and has a built in mini usb output that's perfect for recharging RAZR's, etc, on the go.

I really like this product. I like the fact that this will give me extra battery for my ipod, cell phone,ect . It has many adapters that will fit many devices. It is especially great if you are going to be away from civilization for a few days.
It will give your devices a charge without electricity and you can recharge the Solar Power Boost with the sun to give another device a charge. A great product for emergencies (like getting stalled with your car and realizing your cell phone battery is dead)
