Product Description
Medis Fuel Cell Xtreme Emergency Kit (Box): A better way to prepare for the next blackout. Power blackouts leave millions of people exposed and vulnerable every year. And traditional batteries may not help when it's time to power up the emergency essentials such as a flashlight and cell phone. The Medis Fuel Cell Xtreme Emergency Kit is built around the world's first personal fuel cell, delivering emergency power to a wide variety of devices when a user needs it most. Unlike batteries, the Medis Fuel Cell does not self-discharge over time, so it's always ready to deliver instant power. Users simply activate the Medis Pack to access 20 watt-hours of instant energy for charging a user's cell phone multiple times (Number of charges may vary depending upon phone/device and amount of energy available in device battery) and the powerful 14-LED flashlight (included) for up to 100 hours, along with other portable devices. The Xtreme charging cable is powerful enough to charge a variety of devices including smart phones like Blackberry and iPhone, standard cell phones like Samsung, LG, Motorola, Nokia, iPod, MP3 players, Bluetooth accessories and more. Thanks to the Fuel Cell's long shelf life, users can stock up on multiple Power Packs for the home, office, car and boat, knowing that they'll always be ready for use. The Xtreme has universal compatibility with the included multiple connectors to recharge or power your portable devices using the included standard USB, Mini USB, Micro USB, Treo, and Nokia tips. Bonus connector tips included for increased compatibility!

It describes the product as "Long shelf life", but the documentation that comes with the product gives it an 18-month shelf life. How many power outages do they think I'll experience in 18 short months? Most "emergency" batteries have shelf lives that range between 6-15 years. Also check the datecode on the package when you receive it, and you'll likely find many of those 18 months have already elapsed.
There is also nothing special about the advanced 14 LED Flashlight. First of all, there are no batteries in it, it doesn't accept batteries, and it needs to be plugged into the activated Power Pack to light (how are you going to do that if it's charging your cell phone?) Or perhaps you want to use a bulky fuel cell power pack and cord plugged into the small flashlight for an emergency flashlight with an 18-month shelf life? Well, the 14 LED head is no better than the LED flashlights that are sold at the local home improvement discount stores for $2, so my advice would be to buy one of those and spend $4 on lithium batteries for it: you'll have a 15-year shelf life and well over 100 hrs run time without having to attach a cable and expensive fuel cell to make it light!
I can see a certain application for this on a long airline flight or perhaps camping or hiking where power is not available, but the idea is a lot more cute than it is practical.
