Does the documentation give a stated shelf life?

Charge it once a week would be my suggestion. I’ve got it to charge my Storm and my Tour fully twice each.

Be wary of this product. I purchased this on December 28, 2009 and it’s February 13th, 2010 and it can nolonger power my iPod touch. They claim it can hold 4 charges for an iPhone, if it works. I think paying $99 dollars is a rip off if this thing can’t even last two months. Maybe a cheaper alternative would be better. I only used this thing twice, exhausting all 4 charges. So basically 8 times. I can only pray their warranty policy holds.

This is a great idea but I’d really love to see something with a lower price. Maybe if the offered it with several capacities with appropriate prices.

How about comparing its size to something more generic. A mac power pack is of no use to the vast majority who have not seen one.

Like the Fuel clip and this thing, I think we are going to be seeing a LOT of of these sorts of items in the near future. Smartphones and accessories in general are becoming more and more battery hogs, so keeping people mobile is becoming more and more of a market opportunity. What I like about this is you could charge practically anything from it, BT headset, iPod, BlackBerry, whatever.

6Ah is a LOT of juice, in theory that’s about 4 complete charges of the D-X1 battery common to the current crop of BlackBerry devices.
