Battery 2+ days heavy usage!

[Hoodeddeathman]

Okay so this is actually a review of the PowerGorilla but I didn't lie!
Edit - Just to be clear it'll actually do about 2 weeks

Bought this beast about a week ago for myself and my girlfriend, good idea as we are out and about away from home for days sometime with not a plug socket in sight. at USB voltage the battery has approximately 14 full charges of a 1300 Mugen battery at 21,000mah. With the HD2 on standby it delivers almost 700ma to the device (tried and tested) which is close to that of a mains charger and more than that of a usb from your pc. It has the added bonus of charging a massive range of devices from 8.4 to 24 volts 4A max, all controlled by a one click button (Click to change and hold to on/off). Which equates to an extra 6 hours on my dell studio! I've had my ancient portable DVD player hooked up which kept going for hours as well as my Belkin router for troubleshooting (N1 vision, terrible experience) bought mine at a pricey £130 but I love it. Simultaneously charges out of the usb and output for those other devices:

Also has a very robust design with a hard metal casing and rubber grips. Safety features include output auto-lock, voltage limitation protection, short circuit protection, over charging protection and over heat protection. All resulting in the device turning itself off to prevent any mishaps. The Gorilla also shuts down when a device has completed charging as it monitors the current, note the HD2 will continue drawing power when charged unless turned off. There is an option to lock the Gorilla on so that low input devices will not shut the Gorilla down.

Great feature too is that you can charge the Gorilla and other devices using the Gorilla at the same time! (The PowerMonkey expired in a cloud of smoke when I tried this) charging the Gorilla on the supplied 16v charger takes 2-3 hours but it also supports up to 24v Chargers so who knows maybe it can be charged even faster.

All in all great bit of kit with tonnes of charging options and a nice little zip case for it. Also has a female car charger!

Nice device. To me this is massive overkill (size and price) to charge phones. I have a £30 Just Mobile Gum Pro and in that my battery lasts on average 1.5 days medium usage with the supplied internal battery I can give you these figures:

1.5 days (fully charged phone)
3.75 days (2.5 charges from the JMGP)
=Total of 5+ days.

Also the JMGP is the size of a double pack of chewing gum and at that size isn't obtrusive and I can take it backpacking and can be charged from any USB port. I think this is a much better and cheaper solution for most people.

I've got a 1500mah clip on charger too, it is overkill for just charging phones but I charge my laptop on the go too
Also for a two week camp 3 charges just isn't enough

Thats a great bargain imo because people pay £45 for 2100mah and you're getting 10x that for £130 plus you can use it to charge other devices.

Kind of a misleading title, but that's a pretty good deal on the battery pack.
