Black & Decker introduces the new Pocket Power, a compact portable source with rechargeable backup battery that powers and recharges personal electronics while on the go. The new Pocket Power simultaneously powers and recharges mobile electronic devices such as cell phones, BlackBerry/PDAs, MP3-like devices, digital cameras, camcorders and more when a household AC power outlet is not available. The Pocket Power will provide up to five hours extended runtime for personal electronics. With its slim profile design the Pocket Power is thin enough to conveniently fit into an average size jacket pocket, or be tucked away into a briefcase or purse. Take the Pocket Power with you on business or away from home to have the confidence and convenience of power when you need it for your portable personal electronics. The Pocket Power battery fully recharges from a 120-volt household outlet in less than eight hours. A battery status LED lets you know 10 minutes before the Pocket Power battery is depleted and needs to be recharged. A built-in power/fault LED indicates the condition of the inverter. A draw-string travel bag keeps the Pocket Power protected while traveling

Summary: 350 mah
Comment: I bought this hoping to use it with my archos 630 video player. Sadly it doesn't even add more than 30 mins of playback time. Its made for less demanding electronics like phones, pda's etc... I wouldn't use this for portable dvd players or video players. Its rated draw power is about 350 mah.

Summary: Charges on the cheap, or not
Comment: It's a little bigger and bulkier than an SNES game cartridge. It's about the weight of a shoe. I tested it on my Zune 30 and my friend's iTouch 8gb. It didn't charge the iTouch at all, so don't count on that. It charged my Zune, but took pretty much two of these using the USB charging outlet to charge it from completely empty (non-functioning) to completely full (green battery icon). I plugged in my Zune AC wall charger into the pocket power AC outlet and had a little more success. It didn't quite take two. It didn't charge my laptop.
I gave it two stars based on the Amazon price. I got two for $15, and would give it three based on that. I guess I can only recommend this if you find two really cheap and you have a Zune.

Summary: Works with the iPhone 3G
Comment: This battery pack has a USB port that I can confirm works with the iPhone 3G.
The battery is a 1200 mAh NiMH battery that should just about charge an iPhone 3G from 0% to 100%.

Summary: A Real Life Saver
Comment: This is a must have item for every home! I was without electricity after Hurricane Ike and I was able to fully charge my cell phone and iPod using the battery pack. When my electricity was restored, I was able to charge it and pass it on to friends without service so that they can at least charge their phones. This process will continue until everyone's service is restored. I am ordering some to give as Christmas gifts.

Summary: Powered my DSL modem/router
Comment: I was interested in using this 20 watt battery pack to power my modem/router during power outages so that I could have internet access. Testing a fully charged unit, I set my laptop to stream internet radio and the B & D device powered my modem/router (a Zoom ADSL X6) for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Since this product has a niMH battery and I was concerned about self-discharge, I ran another test after the battery pack had been recharged and then unplugged and left alone for a week. This time it powered the modem/router for just over an hour. I also used it to power the Zenith DTT 901 tv converter box and got over 2 hours viewing time with it. I also tested a second unit with nearly identical results.
I have seen numerous complaints about these units - underperforming or not working on various electronics, so maybe I was just lucky, but I am exceptionally well pleased with this product and have purchased several more for family members.
