4 Stars Husband kind of gift
A gadget for the men, even though women could get use out of it but nice to find something that they like and use. Carries with him in vehical all the time. He said it is something useful and a very clever item.
1 Star Unfortunately, too light for a doorstop.
Got one of these for Christmas, plugged it in to charge, and left it for about two weeks. Then I tried it with my cell phone charger- it would have none of that. Tried a very small table radio. Nope. Finally charged my iPod Nano… for about four minutes before falling over dead. Now it’s heading to take up landfill space.
1 Star I’ll rate this product when I get it.
The first one I received never charged itself, called Black & Decker directly and they supposedly sent me a replacement and I’m still waiting for that one.
So far, I’d have to rate this product as pure garbage.
5 Stars AWESOME product
I commute to NYC 5 days a week. I use this product to charge my MP3 player while I am riding on the bus. This way during the hour I no longer run out of tunes before my bus ride is over. Without tunes an hour on the bus can get very long. This product is well worth the money.
3 Stars Specs from Black and Decker
Looking that the three versions of this 10W, 20W, 100W, I found the technical details on the B+D site helpful:
This Model # CPI10B has a 700mAh battery, the 20W a 2Ah battery, and the 100W a 4Ah battery. It looks like they are progressively heavier, but I can’t find accurate figures on weight or dimensions.
Input – 7.2 VDC, 2.5A
Output – 115V AC 60Hz, 8W continuous
Battery – 700mAh, NiMH
USB – 5V DC (350 mA)
