User Reviews about Duracell Powersource Mobile 100
Bought the battery to go with the adapter I bought for my camera. I dropped my camera and broke a small piece where the door to the batteries locks. I could not keep the batteries in and use the camera at the same time. I was quoted $250.00 to replace the body; camera cost $400.00. I decided to try the adapter with a lithium battery that still allows me to be mobile. Tried the battery with my PC, but it only gave me 20 to 30 additional minutes. -- ProductReviewAAM
This Duracell Powersource Mobile 100 is a solid product, but don't expect spectacular performance. I can charge my cell phone twice, and an ipod touch twice, and that's about it; haven't tried it on a laptop yet. I initially thought it might not be a lithion battery, I bought mine this year (2010), and after a few months of occasional usage read the manfacturer's tag and saw that the date of manufacture was 2006. It is Li-ion, but perhaps of older technology.
The unit is a good size, but for powering laptops on a plane, or when traveling, compare this with other chargers/powerpacks that are juiced from AA NiMh, hybrids, or lithion disposables. This unit is a bit bulky for fitting in a laptop bag or backpack, although it will easily fit in a suitcase. When re-charging the powersource, a cooling fan kicks on periodically and it noticeably loud. However, this unit has the additional major feature of also functioning as an inverter for the car. I bought mine in the $30-$40 range here on Amazon. If you pay more than that, it may not be worth the price, unless you are looking for a small inverter that will also function as a battery backup powersource. -- Ok. Expected better battery life.
