    pffft. 1800mah? my battery has got nearly as much capacity than that. i might as well carry around a second battery for my phone.

    • scrimshaw on 05/08/2013 - 18:36

      Might be handy for those whose phones don't have removable batteries..

      Either way this doesn't seem like good value, when you factor in the $6.95 shipping.

      Would rather this option

    has a massive 1800 mAh battery, just waiting to juice up your phone, camera, MP3 player or GPS!

    This wouldn't even charge a lot of high end phones to 75%. Pretty disgraceful capacity.

    Rubbish :/

      800ma good point. This is rubbish

      • linkyou on 05/08/2013 - 20:05

        feel sorry for those people who got it thinking this will be enough for extra battery.

          I don't think this can even charge a iphone. I thought those need atleast 2A to be able to charge properly.

        • eug on 05/08/2013 - 20:46

          500mA can charge any phone. The original USB2 spec was 500mA max.
          It'll just charge slower than a 1A charger, as long as the phone supports fast charging.

        • equinoxxx on 08/08/2013 - 08:30

          not so sure about that? I bought a 500mA charger off ebay, $11 delivered and it would not charge an iPhone 4s or 5…

          got pissed off after that experience so bought a proper device which I am happy with, this charges my iphone 5 three times flat to full.

          thinking about upgrading to the 10000mAh one now.

      • dustint on 05/08/2013 - 23:46

        800mA? it's close to 1A which is quite a standard charger… most wall chargers charge at 1000mA… i think you're confusing mA (charge rate) with capacity

    I got this varta v man professtional home station http://m.dicksmith.co.nz/home-appliances/varta-v-man-profess…

    for $15 during DSE clearance sale
    I did not post if because very limited stock.

    The link is DSE NZ as that item is not on DSE AU website anymore.

  • norkle on 05/08/2013 - 20:31

    Couldn't decide whether to +ve or -ve.

    This really is a pretty low-spec'ed power pack. As others have said, not much capacity at 1800mAH, and the 800mA output current is pretty low too. However for a brand you can trust, this is an ok if you know what you are buying.
