i bought it for 20 bucks and and extra 10 for the tips..but i like about it mainly is that they have tips for almost everything...so this portable charger is very versatile.. but i barely use mine tho =\

I have used the Energizer version (emergency purchase from QFC at 11PM! :) ) and it worked like a champ!

The Lithium batteries charged me up to about 40% in the hour it took to drive home, with the phone on and also making a single 5 minute call. All-in-all I was impressed.

i'd use the lenmar ppu2100b...2100mah on it and very portable...u can charge it via usb or the tilts own ac adapter. if u want something smaller there's the lenmar ppumini with 750mah. those two are probably the most "elegant" options out there. check the reviews...

oh...and the other benefit is that it charges pretty fast...inbetween an ac and a usb connection...ime the aa battery chargers charge slllooowwww

I tried the energiser charger, it wound up burning out my battery, and destroying my mini USB port. I recommend you stay away from it for everyday use, only for emergency.
