Does exactly what it says on the tin! It knows how much charge is needed. In addition its light and easy to carry in my bag and it works with both my iphone and blackberry.....love it !

Taking the charger for what it is marketed as, this lightweight battery basically extends the life of your iPhone and iPod battery by means of an external battery. This may be charged previously via the mains and then used as a source of power to the iPhone/iPod ideal for long journeys.

For that, it serves its function well. However, what particularly impressed me is that it in fact serves as a charger for a multitude of products. Using a series of adapters (all with USB at one end) the other end of the cable supports mini 5-pin USB, micro USB and iPhone connectors. With this flexibility it is far more than just an iPhone charger.. it's a charger for all your mobile devices in one handy pack

Using the mains adapter it also means you can connect some devices directly to the USB connector as a means of charger, thus reducing the number of mains plugs you need to take on your travels.

So... that's the good news. What's the catch? Well, there's only one really... for £50... you can buy a lot of batteries!!

Glastonbury has just finished and it's a long plane ride to places such as the United States and Australia. Say you're doing one of those three. You have your phone or your ipod with you, but the battery is on its last legs and you're not even close to finishing your journey. The Dexim battery pack saves the day (granting you have that fully charged) by providing you with the simple plug in device that can give you more than well over 24 hours of extra time with your phone (if you're not playing movies constantly).

In this pack, it contains a number of different leads that can connect the backup battery pack to your ipod/iphone or blackberry or any other device with the same connection sockets. The battery itself is light and mobile that comes with a handy and neat carry case that will let you keep all the equipment together when you need it. It's a great gadget, but only really worth the purchase if you regularly travel long distances or take long vacations in which you would be unable to recharge your phone or ipod and would need to.

This is a very well made, solid product. It is not too big and coems with al lthe cables to get it working. It is small enough ot easily carry around and works very well.

There are lights on the side to tell you how much charge is in it. You can then see if it also needs charging before going out anyywhere.
If you use an iphone, touch or even an ipod a lot without access to mains power then I would recommend it. It is nto cheap but it was so useful on a long trip when I was heavily using my Ipod Touch.

Great product and worth it.

Absolutely brilliant, not only is this small enough to fit in the smallest of compact handbags but will fit in the pocket of most guys jeans as well as a iPhone. This managed to re-charge my iphone more than twice.

Aside from having the ability to charge your phone it come with a built in single LED torch that works off the same battery, press the button once it states battery level left indication and keep it held it to light up the torch.

The plug has dual USB cable to it and a small jack that charges the terminal in an our or so and if you wish to use a laptop or desktop pc to charge the unit you simply ditch the plug socket and plug in the two USB cables to the computer (can use 1 but 2 charges it faster).

The charge will remain in the unit for a good period of time and thus far have yet to find fault with it, it is slightly expensive for what yu get but if your out and about with out the ability to charge your phone then this is absolutley ideal.
