Is it worth buying??

Was looking for a backup battery for my Surface Pro and found this one on ebay. It's available on Amazon US as well but doesn't ship to Australia.

$172.02+shipping($29.27) = $200+

As per the specs it can keep the surface alive for 12hrs (inc 4hrs of device battery) but is it worth buying for $200. Also it's huge in size and heavy.

Am thinking for that price it's better to get an additional android tablet and keep it synched with the surface.

Looking for suggestions.

    Holy freakin moly 34200 mAh!?

    Anyway reviews look mostly good, possibly some problems with QA: http://www.amazon.com/ss/customer-reviews/B00JQKUCHQ/ref=acr_dpxrating_see_all?encoding=UTF8&ref=acr_dpxrating_see_all&showViewpoints=1

    It's going to be really really heavy. You do know that right?

    For that much money, i'd buy a 12v battery and an inverter.

      Yes I know that's why wondering evenif I buy won't be able to carry with me all the time.

    Would a power cover be big enough for your needs?

    power cover on ebay

    Wouldn't be able to charge anything other than your sp2 though.

    ~ $190 AUD = 50 - 70 % more run time according to various reviews online.

      Yes thought of that but it doesn't extend the battery life for long. Thanks anyways.

    Oh shit you found me! small world and we think alike at least for the same device :P, anyway i am pretty much the only buyer of that eBay listing hehe and im using it currently i came across its bigger brother after buying the beastly 34200mAh http://www.amazon.com/Qi-Infinity-Powerplant-External-Capaci….

    But since you cant find that to ship from Amazon or eBay to Australia i feel a little better but that 52800mAh size and weight is way too much it even comes with a car jump start kit LOL.

    The 32400mAh powergrid itself is really good charges my surface pro 2 fully and more my iphone 6 and my sony xperia V phones and still has juice left.

    Recharging the powergrid takes a good 5-7hrs to charge up from 10% left.

    If you leave anything plugged in it will very slowly drain it but its hardly a deal breaker for me i forgot to take off all the cables and return it drained but i never measured it yet.

    I have both the surface power cover and this powergrid and can say its heavier but it does more and i hardly use the power cover anymore, i just love the freedom of lightness of the type cover and touch covers, the power cover just isnt that versatile as the powergrid imo.

      Too bad you are a boy, we cud have been together for life otherwise ;)

      Am now more tending towards getting a Samsung note 8 or 10 as a backup. Easier and lighter to carry around with surface.

      Thanks for your thoughts.
