2.0 out of 5 stars Takes patience and an open mind, February 19, 2009

To charge a device like a Blackberry, which requires 5 Volts charging input at about 3 Watts, you must connect the large conversion connector to the base fuel cell. The fuel cell alone can not put out sufficient power. Inside the connector is a battery, which must be charged by the fuel cell first for a few hours, then you plug in your device. So, my fuel call has to charge a battery so that I can charge my battery? As long as you do not expect this device to immediately provide a charge after you first activate the fuel cell, then maybe you will not be disappointed. Even with the connector, I was never able to get a single full charge to my Blackberry out of this device. I might try another unit sometime to see if maybe I just got a bum unit, but even a perfect unit will not do what I want to do, namely charging my device immediately when I need it.

I have been using the Medis Power Pack for over a year now. I have found it to be an amazing portable outlet to charge my cell phone and ipod. I have found it real handy when I realize in the morning I forgot to charge my cell phone overnight. I can just plug in and go. I have also used the power pack to keep my ipod going on a coast to coast flight where the kids are passing it around and it just kept going for the entire 8 hour flight. I only wish it was more available in retail stores. Also I would like to see Medis have some type of state of charge indicator so I know when my 20 to 25 hours (about what I get) are up. I would recommend it to anyone who's cell phone or ipod runs dead before the day ends. Be sure to also order the correct tip you need (ex: Samsung, Nokia, etc.)

I keep the emergency kit with a flashlight for the frequent power outages we get with summer thunderstorms. I actually got an older version late last summer through a friend, and sure enough, it saved me getting out the gasoline lantern for a night. At last I can easily get refills. What is best of all, I gave one to my daughter when she returned to college on the Gulf Coast this spring. I know that next time she faces evacuation, at least she will be in touch.
