Summary: Brought my Ipod back to life

I thought my Ipod would be permanently connected to my clock radio. The battery was still sitting on a charger for the dead. I could not leave the house because they only last 5 minutes. Now, with this super handy portable charger my music is back with me. It pays off quickly from the box with the power supply and I was off and running. It kept going my Ipod while I took a long walk. The best part is when the battery is running low, I always have the sun to keep the camera.

Summary: Disappointing
I did this as a gift and was quite excited when I was first. It seemed to work very well, they are charged by the lamps in my house, it had many different types of plugs and it was a very convenient format. But once I started using it, I realized how bad it really was. The seller claimed that for every BlackBerry will work, but it would not work for my Curve 8310 from the beginning. In addition, the BlackBerry connection broke after a few tries to use. I tried it on my iPod, and it will be made to work, but the battery does not last very long and it takes about 7 hours if you are free from the sun. It is free from three sources, but the charging time is not very good. The quality of the product is also quite poor. I was reading the label on the device, and some of the lettering on the head. The device will tell me that it is fully charged, when I push the "status" light, but I will then plug it in and charging for hours. The thing is really not well done. Do not buy it. The thing is more trouble then it's worth.

Summary: Great eco / emergency product

This is a great idea for camping, hiking and) emergency kit (earthquake / storm, as you can power and charge your phone, MP3 players, handheld games, etc. They all have the common adapter except my Plantronics Bluetooth (headset will be my next, Micro USB, and also open). If you are loading from, it is also recharged solar. If some of the hikers had lost it with their cell phones they had been able to call help for the week. On long flights, it recharges the MP3 or games. Someone was thinking!

Summary: Great idea, but...

A solar charger for mobile phones and personal electronic devices is a great idea, but the product behind the size in several important respects.

Putting power: the solar charging aspect is a kind of gimmick. I think if you knew, would be in the desert still holds for hours under a scorching sun, you could on the small solar panel from a juice, but for most applications, you need to plug this thing somewhere. Unfortunately, requires that a special cable. So, if you forgot or lost the cable only in the world that it will not be possible, this battery charge fee. If you lose their power-in cable, you need to buy another by the manufacturer.

Taking power out: You also have another special cable to power in order to end this thing, because they have a female mini-USB uses the like of which I have never seen before. Normal USB to mini USB cable you will not look good. If you lose their special power-out cable, you need to buy another by the manufacturer.

Small design: I like the look of these wrong battery, but that small size, because you do not everything, unless you've mentioned above, the special cable. It is also plain to see.

Rapid Drain: The battery runs by itself very quickly, so you can not only be free and depend on it loaded when you need it.

Proposals for manufacturers: make the battery work with traditional cable for input and output figure out how to keep the battery rather a burden.

Suggestion for consumers: Take a look at the source of Xantrex Mobile Mini. There is no sun, but it is three times the cost and has a built-in mini-USB output to charge the RAZR's, etc, on the go perfectly.

Summary: Great Product

I like this product. I like the fact that it will give me an extra battery for my ipod, cell phone, type etc.. It has many adapters that fit many devices. It is especially great when you are away from civilization to be for a few days.

There is a charge your devices without power and charge enter the solar power boost with the sun, another device requires a fee. A great product for emergencies (as always, come with your vehicle to a stop and realize your cell phone battery is dead)

Summary: Powers by the sun

Great device for the iPhone. This is a backup battery and a little power factory. The battery can only by sunlight, it charged. On cloudy days or charged, but not so good. In this case, I can do it in the wall or the commputer plug to charge it again. Once charged, I can force my iPhone when the battery is empty

Summary: Solar power savings???
Product purchased directly from the manufacturer and it worked for two loads before failure. I was not able to load again with the solar option. Exchanging a device manufacturer to another. So far I have able to complete two charges. It takes a while to recharge the battery with the solar charger.

It's hit and miss with this one.

Summary: Terrible Waste of Time
At first it looked like it would work well, although there appeared to be made cheaply. It calculates fine and I plugged the first time she saw it in my iPhone it. So I left it for a few days stay and when it is time to really use it to my iPhone lasted for 30 seconds and then no longer work load was. My guess is something short-circuited from the inside. The website had absolutely no support what so ever. I get a refund from Amazon.
