Customer Reviews

Almost useful
If adding 10minutes of charge to your iPhone is useful to you, then this is the product for you. If you require more power, look elsewhere. This product advertises a storage capacity of 1150 mAh. I have a similar product rated at 1800 mAh that will fully recharge an exhausted iPhone. Duracell disappoints.

Useless
I love Duracell products. Won't purchase anything else. I was excited about this product as it seemed perfect for my needs. Gladly ordered it.

Unfortunately, it falls very short of expectations. To the degree that I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone buy it.

After a full charge, it will charge my BlackBerry for five minutes, then die. Repeated charges and attempts to make it work are unsuccessful, as are reviewing the instructions and all the troubleshooting I can think of. Obviously it is of no use.

Finally, I need to note that Duracell is completely unresponsive to numerous requests for help. This is also most disappointing. Time to revisit my allegiance to this brand.

Works great!
I've been extremely happy with this product! With the unit fully charged, it will take my iPhone 3G from about 1/4 charge to a full charge in about 45 minutes. It's an extremely simple design. It has a mini-USB connector on the bottom labeled IN which is where you plug it in to charge, and then a full-sized USB connector labeled OUT on the top where you connect your device's USB cable. The IN port has an LED indicator which is RED while the unit is charging and GREEN once it's fully charged. On the face of the unit near the "copper top" there's another indicator light that is GREEN while charging your iPhone/Blackberry/RAZR and RED once charging is complete and the unit is drained.

I would highly recommend this unit for heavy iPhone users on the go. It's not the most optimal solution, but until Apple makes an iPhone with interchangeable batteries, it's the best option we've got.
