Unfortunately it lasted for 5 'charges', then died. Swapped batteries, etc, etc, and still doing a very good impression of being dead.
If you are planning to go anywhere serious I would seriously think as to whether this is a suitable bit of kit, luckily we were not going to be in the wilderness for more than a few days so got by on bottled water...but it could have been so much worse!
This, in my view, is a pretty critical piece of kit, and it obviously is not reliable... I'm looking forward to seeing how and if I can get a refund!!

Beware!
