Product Description
Black & Decker introduces the new Pocket Power, a compact portable source with rechargeable backup battery that powers and recharges personal electronics while on the go. The new Pocket Power simultaneously powers and recharges mobile electronic devices such as cell phones, BlackBerry/PDAs, MP3-like devices, digital cameras, camcorders and more when a household AC power outlet is not available. The Pocket Power will provide up to five hours extended runtime for personal electronics. With its slim profile design the Pocket Power is thin enough to conveniently fit into an average size jacket pocket, or be tucked away into a briefcase or purse. Take the Pocket Power with you on business or away from home to have the confidence and convenience of power when you need it for your portable personal electronics. The Pocket Power battery fully recharges from a 120-volt household outlet in less than eight hours. A battery status LED lets you know 10 minutes before the Pocket Power battery is depleted and needs to be recharged. A built-in power/fault LED indicates the condition of the inverter. A draw-string travel bag keeps the Pocket Power protected while traveling

 Awesome back-up battery! April 26, 2008

I, too, think this battery pack works GREAT! I tried it for my Blackberry (I let it run down as low as it would go without it shutting off) and it charged my Blackberry enough for a whole day's use, and then some. A week went by without my charging up the B&D Pocket Power before I used it again, this time on my iPod. It was still able to charge my 80GB iPod. I use my iPod for music AND videos and, with the charge from Pocket Power, I even had enough battery power to watch my videos, which is energy-intensive. I have even tried charging my Canon EOS camera battery and it extended my use of the camera. I am buying another one for my trips to Europe -- not every hotel room there is equipped with as many outlets as we enjoy here and a travelling family can only stay up so long in the evenings vying for outlets to charge their electronics. It's not that heavy or bulky to take. However, despite all my accolades, remember that the sole function of this is as a BACK-UP (note the emphasis on back-up!); you should keep it fully charged when you have the opportunity to (because it does take many hours to charge) for those times in a pinch when you need it to charge something else that you forgot or didn't have the opportunity to. Hey, life's a juggling act -- it would be remiss of me to say that a little 5x3x1 box will end all our electronics charging woes!

Great back-up battery May 19, 2008

I bought three of these, and they are very useful. There is a USB port and a regular 110 plug, so you can use it with anything that will take a USB cable for power and can also use it with you regular chargers for things like cell phones, PDA's, and even the Kindle. It's a little heavy, but not bad considering that it is a battery. Nice back-up for use on an airplane if you think you might run low on battery power. I bought mine "dirt cheap" from two different vendors on Amazon. If you search for this item on the Web, you will find some outrageous prices. I think the regular list is something like $59.95, and I would never pay that. I got mine for less than $10 (I don't even want to know why they were that cheap).

This has to be one of the best product that
i have bought. Only bad thing is you cant hook up everything to it or it will overload.
Powered my DSL modem/router September 9, 2008
I was interested in using this 20 watt battery pack to power my modem/router during power outages so that I could have internet access. Testing a fully charged unit, I set my laptop to stream internet radio and the B & D device powered my modem/router (a Zoom ADSL X6) for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Since this product has a niMH battery and I was concerned about self-discharge, I ran another test after the battery pack had been recharged and then unplugged and left alone for a week. This time it powered the modem/router for just over an hour. I also used it to power the Zenith DTT 901 tv converter box and got over 2 hours viewing time with it. I also tested a second unit with nearly identical results.
I have seen numerous complaints about these units - underperforming or not working on various electronics, so maybe I was just lucky, but I am exceptionally well pleased with this product and have purchased several more for family members.
