The battery is great. I have a first gen 16gig i Pod touch and it basically doubles the battery life.Customer Review: Not the best, but it's still a life-saver.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these portable chargers, one for myself for my BlackBerry 8900 and one for a friend with an iPhone 3GS.
Both work well, but do not deliver on the promise of a whole charge for any device with which I've used them. On my BlackBerry 8900, I might get an extra 2 or 3 bars of battery life, which is certainly enough in a pinch. On the iPhone 3GS, it gave the device an extra 70%. On my iPod 4th gen., I can get about 80% charge from nothing.
This product has worked with all USB chargers that I have.
From what I have read of similar products, this one is a portion of the price for only slightly fewer results.
Also, I have found that this product works slightly better after each use. Li-Ion batteries tend to do this, and they also have about a 500 charge life-cycle, which can take about 2 years to get near that number, for most users.
Overall, this product falls a bit short, but it's certainly better than carrying around an extra battery that must be charged in-device. Especially for my BB, this is nice, as removing the battery initializes a reboot, which can take away critical time. I just plug in this charger, and my phone charges quickly, generally within 45 minutes or less. I would certainly recommend this charger, but only keeping one's expectations in check. Don't expect this to give you a full charge, but it is great for those times when you just don't have a charger.
