Features: Great backup battery so far [Posted on 2008-09-23] I've used this only a couple of times and so far I'm impressed. It's very sleek and not boxy as the pictures might suggest. ONE fully charged battery serves to recharge the iphone TWICE, so it's great on long trips where you might not be close to electricity for a while. It's also great if your power goes out (as it did with Hurricane Ike recently) and you're on the phone a lot contacting family, electric company, etc.
Works as advertised. Great battery backup. [Posted on 2008-09-30] I ordered this based on a friends recommendation. It works great and is very light for a battery backup.
Worked Perfectly [Posted on 2008-10-09] I bought the battery as a backup for my ipods and iphone during long flights that I take for work. But a couple of days after it arrived, Hurricane Ike hit Houston. I was without power for 11 days and relied on this battery to charge my iPhone and stay in touch during this period. Charged it off my car power outlet. No compatibility problems with iPhone 3G, iPod Touch or other iPods. Highly recommended.
Really disappointed [Posted on 2008-10-14] I bought it to charge my Nokia N810 PDA and my daughter's Nintendo DS or PSP while on the road. It does not work on any of those! It only works for my verizon cell phone. I guess the problem is it has a very limited charging capability. Anything bigger than the cell phone shuts down the battery circuit.
I later bought a Duracell backup battery, which works great on all of my devices. But it has only 1000mAhour of energy, which is about half of the APC unit.
The APC unit looks good and has good energy level. But it is only good on paper. Big disappointment, especially considering the price tag!!!
Very useful [Posted on 2008-11-03] I bought this product because I was taking a long flight to Europe.
It did just what it was supposed to. You get about 2 iPhone charges out of it. It is very lightweight and sleek, so it is easy to carry around. Sometimes I even stick it into my pants pocket if I'm in a hurry.
Having to press the button a couple of times to fully charge my phone does become annoying, that is why I am not giving it 5 stars.
It would be nice if they came out with a thicker, double-duty version good for 4 charges. I would definitely buy that!
