Yeah, they're handy things to have if you find you run low on battery a lot. Don't expect a full charge out of one though, but you should get at least 50% per power pack charge.

I'd just buy a second battery, it's not like an iphone where you can't. They go on ebay for a fiver and they are generally very good and you'll get 100% charge out of it so twice the usage.

2 batteries and a charger for them here for £7

Thanks for posting this, I've been after for something like this for a while now, seen some others on the market but this Duracell charger is the best I've seen. I've seen the demo on their website and it's very impressive and at a better price than other chargers on the market.

The 1150Mah capacity will only give a top up, probably about 50% for most smart phones.

I have the a New trent branded version of this TeckNet charger. It has a much higher capacity at 5000Mah. The device is pretty small and shiny and can charge my Desire S a couple of times and with enough left for a little top up after that. It gives me a bit more flexibility for a weekend away from power or a playing games and listening to music on a long flight.

Not much more expensive than the Duracell and if you want a liitle more power there are 7000 and 11000Mah versions available too.
