Just thought I'd pass this along. This little battery charger for the Wing or Dash charges your phones battery with just one AA battery. It kicks up the voltage from 1.2-1.5v to 5.7v. Saps the hell out of the AA battery but charges the phone -- its really cool. I bought two of them.
I'm Not the seller - I have No interest in selling these. Just thought Wing users would like to know there's such a thing out there.

How long of battery power do you get for 1 AA battery?
If it has small USB connector, can I use it for TyTn II (Kaiser)?

I got one of those little portable chargers for mobile devices. It's a neat concept. Upon pruchasing one of those (in the US) for $19.99, it came with a cheap AA battery, and several adapters for different mobile phones. I used the AA battery that came with it and it charged my HTC Herald P4350 for 20 minutes. You can actually drain (and cause damage too) your phone battery it you have it plugged in (with a dead AA battery) your device (it said so on the package). This is my experience and others may be different. In a nutshell, the amount of time it charges depends on what kind of AA battery you use. Again, this is my experience.

Yes it does depend on the type of AA battery you use. A Lithium AA will give you much more than a rechargable NMHI. I put in an alkaline AA and talked with my brother for two hours today using my Bluetooth headset and this thing kept my phone to 100% charge the whole time.
I am not planning on keeping it plugged in all the time especially when its dead.
I am going to use NIMH AA batteries in my Solar Charger that sits on my Dashboard. Rotate them out and get basically free energy. Hey I know its not going stop the Icebergs from melting but its something.
Here are the specs from the package:
Input 1.2-1.5v
Output 5.7v
Standby 80 hours
Talk Time 2 hours
Charge current 850-2300m
Discharge 150-530m
*This one says nothing about draining your phone's battery in fact it says if using NiCads or NMHI to make sure it drains all the way down before you disconnect it. It says best results can be obtained using a Lithium AA but who can afford that.

Yes it has a mini USB connector and it should work with the Kaiser but you may want to ask the seller to be sure.
