    Can anyone give any testimony to how these last on the shelf? I think I'd more than likely charge it up and store to take out when there's the possibility of a day out/camping. Just wondering if it'd lose charge drastically if it sits for a while? Wouldn't be much good if you got there and there wasn't any juice left.

      I can't give a testimony since I don't have one yet, but THEORETICALLY LiPo should leak at a very low rate. 2-5% per month seems to be the quoted rate.

      I'll admit I don't understand why Sony chose LiPo when LiIon would have been cheaper considering its shape.

    Thanks, just bought one, at this price, i doubt you will be able to buy any decent brand external battery bank like this. I was close to buy one the other day when it was sold 79 a pop, but didn't get it coz the price was just way too steep

    • piglet1 on 02/10/2013 - 20:36

      I'm using a Belkin 4000mAh for almost 2 years now, tried to look for it at TGG's website (was going for $25 back then) but can't find it anymore as I plan to get the same one for a friend's birthday. While checking out other brands, I saw this… but since they're "awaiting stock" i didn't get it and she's leaving this weekend! Got the 2800mAh instead for $30 .. :/

        • OhHeyA on 02/10/2013 - 20:59

          You don't need a genuine cable to charge the phone. This power bank will most likely be able to charge your iphone. It also doesnt matter if your software is ios 7 or not. Not sure where piglet1 is getting his information from..

        • mrnacho on 03/10/2013 - 00:05

          Sorry my bad… I was thinking of battery case for iPhone. In which case the new ios7 wont recognise my accessory which the previous ios was able to recognise easily. Anyways, if you are using the item in this deal, just used an official apple lightning cable for future-proofing since Apple is trying to take advantage of the accessory market and may roll out future ios updates that may not recognise non-official apple merchandised lightning cables.

        Ah that's a bit crap. An Apple device probably will be one of the intended uses for most I'd say. A pretty important factor.

          It will work, as long as you are using the Apple lightning cable or certified ones. iOS7 is only blocking third party lightning cables.

      • luka on 02/10/2013 - 23:40

        Apple chargers have slightly different voltages on data lines and the phone measures this to detect a non-genuine charger.

        I'm sure a battery bank that has a working sdcard slot is alot smarter than a battery that has no display what so ever.. just how do you tell how full it is; and when its fully charged? lol.

      You can take your chances with it if you want. I very much doubt it'll end up being 11200mAh though (or of general high quality, for that matter).

    • bzha515 on 02/10/2013 - 21:00

    • deltakilo on 02/10/2013 - 21:25

      Most likely a knockoff with much less capacity. I recently got a Yoobao in Kuala Lumpur during holiday. I was vaguely familiar with the brand but no idea on what the genuine price is/was. Seemed like good idea and price at the time thinking KL has lower priced electronics anyway.

      Wasn't until I got home that discovered this is a popular brand for cheap knockoffs. Yoobao site even has a verification page where you can enter serial number to determine if genuine or not. I bought a dud.

    • MrDixit on 02/10/2013 - 22:42

      If you get a real yoobao you are good, but eBay is covered in fakes. Having said that, dispute on PayPal and you will get your money back.

    • Djent on 02/10/2013 - 23:06

  • fryandlaurie on 02/10/2013 - 21:03

    Nice post OP. I think these should be good. It's not worth risking the cheap chinese brands on ebay and such due to not getting what you paid for and perhaps them sourcing the batteries through less than ethical means (e.g. crappy battery plants in China).

    However, if you want more control over what you buy and include as a part of your portable battery then I suggest you head over to www.fasttech.com and pick out:

    • a power pack enclosure link

    • unprotected cells (sanyo are good) of your choice. e.g. link

    Obviously it's a little dearer but I think you can be more certain of the capacity and unit you get etc.

    But honestly at this price Sony is the way to go.

    • scrimshaw on 02/10/2013 - 22:36

      I ordered myself a 1 amp Ruinovo 2port USB enclosure + 2 3400mah Panasonic cells about 2 weeks ago for $29 AUD. Kind of hurts a little to see a competing product at such a low price :(

      • ProspectiveDarkness on 03/10/2013 - 02:53

        That looks good, might buy one when (if, though it seems probable at this point) this falls through.
        Have you received it yet, and am I correct in assuming the total capacity is 6800mAh (stupid question, I know, but just checking)?

    • jeeg on 03/10/2013 - 00:17

      Thanks for that fasttech link. Interesting.

      So if one bought that power pack and sanyo cells, the total cost is also $30? I see the sanyo cell comes in a pack of 2…and the total capacity is now 2600mAH x 4 = 10,400mAH!

      I just bought the Sony one but can't help wondering if I should have bought this instead?

      • CheapCoffee on 03/10/2013 - 00:37

        I was just about to post Fasttech as well. This Sony Power Bank is certainly not a bad deal but it probably doesn't deserve this many positive votes..

        I recently got a 5200 mAh set from them and it is working great :) and it only costed $16.02 USD.

      • Frantic on 03/10/2013 - 01:11

        it won't be 100% efficient not even close (more like 70%.. maybe less), also careful with those cheap power packs that don't charge using cc/cv (constant current/voltage) not even close. Unless your into flashlights/vaping, would go with this one.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2013 - 02:47
          -1

          cheap power packs are fine as long as you get good batteries and a good case. the coolook power pack has been tested to be ~90% efficient up to 2amps.

          the problem now is getting it shipped as lithium batteries are now contraband. there is a chance it may pass if its installed into the case prior to shipping.

        • Frantic on 03/10/2013 - 04:43

          not sure about the coolook, but most of those still trickle charge (yep I realise the unit might have voltage cutoff).. anyone using those lithium cells and going diy out to have a multimeter handy as well.. if cells were ever removed or switched around.. and mismatched voltages inserted.. ouch. also ditto difficulty obtaining cells cheaply from o/s

          Another unit worth looking at is made by Anker (forget exact name) and uses a lipoly cell and slim form factor, can charge some laptops/netbooks too.. Also like Energizer XP series as well

      You need a Patriot Fuel + 9000 mAH. They are expensive, but they provide 2.5A of power which is needed so that you can use the Vita while this battery pack is connected.

      Plus 2 usb ports..always a plus.

    good reviews
    http://alatest.com.au/reviews/mobile-phone-reviews/sony-cpf2…
    http://www.amazon.com/Sony-CPF2LS-Portable-Supply-Battery/pr…

    pretty considerable charge (7000 mAh is enough to charge most smartphones at least twice, and even a large tablet like the iPad 4 or Nexus 10 can be charged from 0% to well over 50%)

    compact size (approximately 13.0 cm x 6.8 cm x 1.2 cm, or 5.1 in. x 2.7 in. x 0.47 in.) allows it to easily fit in my bag

    build quality is very solid, being made out of, I'm guessing, a very rigid-feeling aluminum, with hard plastic ends.

    will add about 30% to my Nexus 4 in only about 10 minutes

    Sony also says on the package that you can recharge this thing 1000 times and it will still retain 90% of its capacity

    I'm sold.
    Just ordered one.
    Fingers crossed.
    Just hoping it's not a pricing error - $129.99 instead of $29.99
    Item is $129 at Sony's website.
