    Anyone know up to what % it can charge an iphone?.

    The reason i ask is because the pocket usb charger states it 'Provides up to 40% charge for mobile phones'. But it doesnt say what % for the listed 2-in-one charger.

    That's the place where they are alright. There was none there half hour ago, only had the pocket accu charger not the 2 in 1 ones.

    Bought 2 of these today for €3.95 each.
    Are they really supposed to be much dearer?

    YES!

    Look at anything that is comparable to them...

    Now stick Duracells name on it.

    But but but, has anyone opened one of these up?
    ( iv a dead one at home that i intend to open once i return)

    1500 mah or something i think.... isnt that about the same as a mid level rechargeable AA battery?

    Could it be just one rechargeable battery in a decent case?

    ( i suppose it would have to be 3 smaller batteries to get that 4.5-5v for usb charging)

    EDIT: 1.25 for a rechargeble so 4 to get 5v

    I have a couple of these Philips battery backs. Handy for the iPod or DS.

    One thing I noticed is they seem to hold their charge for a very long time.

    I bought 10 of these in Dunlaoghaire SC before they pulled out thinking there was a mistake. Cheap Christmas presents. One dose an 80% charge on my IPhone.

    The battery is 2000mah 3.7V that has to be stepped up to 5v with a boost converter which is probably fairly inefficient and probably drops out long before the 2000mah battery is empty so there is 750mah available at the output.

    I picked up two more in tesco roscommon for 2.96 each they are twice the size and weight of the original one I got but only 50% more charge and I'm not that keen on the pushbutton on switch as I can see it going off in the glovebox/handbag/laptop case.

    The fat one has no problem powering my 2.5" portable hard disks which is hand for devices that can't power them like phones/tablets.

    Very handy little yokes.

    What cable do you use to power a hard drive? Or do you use a Y cable one to phone, one to battery.

    Yes, it seems the offer is finally coming to an end. Picture taken in Tralee.
