1.0 out of 5 stars Amp Capacity Incorrect, July 2, 2007

The listing says that it has a 1000 mA capacity. The box with the converter says 600 mA. It did not work for what I needed it to do and I had to return it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works great as advertised, amp rating shown on Amazon incorrect, December 20, 2007

As another reviewer has noted, the unit I received had a 600mA rating which would be consistent with what I expect for a device of this size. It was plenty for my purposes and the device worked great. Since I just bought one that worked like total crap, I still had my equipment out to test this thing in lab. Produces clean 13.0V all the way up to the advertised 600mA draw and even a bit over, though at some point the device cuts power (which is what it's supposed to do).

Giving a 4-star because of said disparity between specs. In defense of Amazon I think this may be due to a change in revision. The unit I received had a green LED to indicate it was plugged in, while the picture on Amazon does not show that. Perhaps at one time this device was rated for 1A.

I take this unit travelling with me when I don't want the weight and bulk of an extra AC charger and its long, entangling cords. The PowerMax fits neatly into a pocket and comes in handy when you want to charge your phone and don't want to make a trip to the car.
