Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G (Black)
Customer Review: good while it worked
Summary: 3 Stars
update: have not been able to nail down the conditions, but sometimes if this is removed from thoe iphone it does into a frozen state where it will neither offer or take a charge. one of the blur status lights will stay on and it will not function. if left to drain itself, it resets and works fine....until the problem surfaces again. if i leave it attached until drained, no problems. if removed in certain cricumstances while still holding a charge, then the problem could recur.
i've had this for about 2 months and it just quit working. i have not tried the return process yet, so no review here on how amazon will handle, but past experience says it will be fine.
until this morning i used this battery at least 5 or 6 times a week and never an issue. all of the status lights worked fine, quickly charged the phone. a little bulky, but it was workable in most situations and stayed put on the phone while in a pocket or cup holder in the car.
one of the status lights is now on all the time and it will not take a charge or supply one, so apparently a bad circuit.
Customer Review: Best Charger For The Money
Summary: 5 Stars
After looking at Brookstone and at other chargers,I felt this one would serve my needs on my iTouch 3g. Nice sleek design. The think I really like is that on my iTouch, I don't have to take it out of it DLO case to use it. The docking station is that close!
It's so tiny too!
Customer Review: Stay away!

This was one of the worst purchases I have ever made. Bought it first in Best Buy Minneapolis - never worked. Then when I reached Dallas changed it at the Best Buy here. Even the replacement never worked! Kensington has some serious quality control issues. I am now very happy with a Griffin PowerDuo Reserve, its only been a couple of days but at least it works straight out of the pack.Customer Review: Should work for any USB-powered device
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought it as an external battery pack for an M-Audio Microtrack 24/36 since the built-in M-Audio battery is proprietary, non-replaceable, and has a short life. The Kensington battery pack works fine. The charge indicator is easy to read, the connectors are easy to access and pretty nearly idiot-proof. The self-discharge rate is quite low - weeks to bleed off even one tick from a fully charged pack. The form factor makes it easy to carry in your pocket or briefcase. It should work with any device that is intended to be powered off a USB port.Customer Review: good product

used it with my iPhone 3G without a problem, it charged from low battery of 20% to full within 30 mins!
