3.0 out of 5 stars Comes in handy in a pinch June 20, 2011

By Laura

The packaging for this charger indicated 1.2x full charge for an Android phone. I have a Motorola Droid. When the phone was on, the portable charger charged the phone to 60% with 2 basic apps running (email, keyboard). When I turned the phone off, the portable charger charged the phone to 90%. In both instances, the phone battery started at less than 5% charged. Now clearly, I never got a full charge from this portable charger, but it certainly comes in handy when you want to take those last few pictures or you need that GPS on your phone to work for at least another 30 minutes. And it came in really handy when the rental car didn't have a plug to plug-in the car cell phone charger.

The trick to remember is, to always bring the USB cord that comes with your phone so you can actually plug the phone into the portable charger!!

For the price, I say it's a decent value. The packaging is a bit misleading, but I'm certainly glad that I have it.

I just wish that the portable charger could be re-charged with a plug-in wall attachment. There was an instance, when I wasn't around a computer to plug in the USB cord for the charger and I hadn't brought the "standard" plug-in wall charger that comes with the phone with me. All I had was the portable charger and the USB cord and no power source that would work... But it simply means, I have to plan better next time and bring everything with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars I purchased both ! April 12, 2010

By Joel L. Davies

The smaller of the two is OK in a pinch, but the Powerhouse charges my Zen X-Fi2 or my Motorola Cell Phone more than twice as fast. From empty, it charged my Motorola i425 in TEN MINUTES, four times and it still had juice to spare. I was able to recharge my Zen X-Fi2 twice, and could have charged it more. I didn't have enough time to empty the player and recharge it to find out just how many. But it was obvious to me that it was going to meet the needs I bought it for. It took more than twice as long for the pocket unit to charge my phone, and did so only once.
If you are buying one of these, I'd suggest the Powerhouse over any other.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a relief May 21, 2011

I bought this product because I have an EVO phone and didn't want to purchase the extended battery since it would weigh down my phone. I recently changed positions at work, which means I can't charge my phone like before; so my fiancee recommended that I purchase this. I love it. It fits in my drawer at work, no one knows if I'm charging my phone. I don't have to use it everyday, so the original charge lasts me a full week. I bring it home on Friday to recharge it for another week. I also love the size because on the weekends I carry it in my purse and it's great.
