Pros: CHEAP!
Nice build quality.
It not only powers stuff but charges AAA nimh batteries too!

Cons: As other reviewers have said, the switch seems to be a little sticky.
charging through USB take a long time

Other Thoughts: great for an emergency power boast for devices that use USB power. I use it for my ipod and my cell phone all the time, it's great.

Bottomline: this thing does it all, charges powers, and has a LED flashlight!
i wish they had a AA version, because when using with an MP4 player on a plane 4 AAA doesnt last that long. if dealextreme could get a 4 AA version, i would buy one for sure, and im sure others would too!

Extremely useful

Pros: -All in one charger and backup power pack.

-Charging 2 color indicator light around the usb port.
(red = charging, blue= completed charging)

-Gives my psp slim 3hours more of gametime@333mhz from four powertech AAA 900mah batteries.


Cons: None. This product is top class.

Other Thoughts: I wouldnt recommend using 4 AAA disposable batteries in this unit to charge usb stuff like an ipod, because that will be 6V, instead of the 5V from AAA rechargables. Use 4x NiMH =5V to be on the safe side.

Other reviewers mention the switch on this a little dodgy, Ive found it to be a tiny bit fiddly to use, the switch itself is just long thats all.

Bottomline: Get this and add a usb multi end tips cable, a usb wall power adapter, and another 1-2 sets of AAA batts and you will have the perfect power solution to all your needs.

Its more flexible to use than a expensive xxxxx mah battery brick+tips.

Good Concept, needs improvement

Pros: Good, solid construction, good concept, small size, semi-bright LED.

Cons: No voltage regulation (even though it doesn't really matter for my usage), crappy battery life (as expected from AAA's), the Use/Charge/Off switch as tricky.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Good enough for the money. Nothing much better out right now, so i'd recommend getting it.

Handy little device

Pros: USB recharging of AAA, backup power supply for USB powered devices, and even a handy battery case for an extra 4 AAA batteries.

Cons: Not the most solid construction, have to think to keep "Charge" versus "Use" separate, and the switch doesn't positively lock into place.

Other Thoughts: Why have an LED flashlight?!? Somebody was bored and figured to add it during the design I guess because it doesn't fit the primary goal of the device.

Bottomline: Much better than a custom battery backup/charger. It allows you to also charge AAA for other devices, and carry or buy additional AAA to swap in for more power.
