very usefull!
(4 out of 5) by Daniella Tocantins on Jun 3, 2009 (Brasil)I bought it because my kids use a lot a portable DVD on flights and its battery are not long enough anymore. I bought this black and decker to have a little more DVD life while in the airplane. And it helped just perfect!!! The only thing is that it is a little bit bigger than I thought it would be, but anyway, it is ok!!!

Not too shabby
(4 out of 5) by Ares139 on Aug 24, 2008 (Charleston, WV)As others have noted, this isn't necessarily meant to power your laptop. It can, if it doesn't drain more than 100 watts (80 watts continuous). I get an extra 45 - 60 mins out of it on my laptop. It is, however, great for charging cell phones, mp3 players, etc. I already have a smaller model that I use for that purpose. I'm actually using this thing to power an aerator in a bucket of water, to keep the fishing bait alive. Works all day without a problem. My father was complaining about only getting an electric, non-battery powered aerator, and I suggested we try this B&D battery. Works like a charm!
In a nutshell, this can be used with a laptop in a pinch. It works much better with lower drain devices, however. If you battery just died, and you need to get a document off of it ASAP, this little device may save the day. Need an extra 4+ hours of battery life on your laptop? This probably is NOT for you. Get a spare laptop battery that is made for your computer.

Okay for $15
(2 out of 5) by Edmund Chew on Feb 19, 2008 (Cali)Bought mine at a clearance price of $15 and now I know why. The battery doesn't last very long. I am only able to pull 60 mins at 90% power out of it. I was expecting maybe 2 hrs. I'll probably keep it in the car for emergencys. For $15 its worth it. Otherwise, your better off buying a higher capacity laptop battery.
Black and decker should have estimated run times on the packaging. Pretty heavy battery to lug around.

Does not work well on laptops
(2 out of 5) by Jacob Levy on Jul 24, 2007 (Phoenix, AZ)I purchased the laptop power to go and expected the 9 hours of extended battery life on my laptop. Unfortunately the product is not able to power laptops for that long...or even close. It will give you an extra half hour of laptop battery life. That's it. I am returning this product tomorrow. The product works well for smaller electronics like cell phones and ipods but NOT laptops. Do not expect the world from this product.
