 Was Never Even Able to Charge AnythingJun 16, 2009
Do not buy this product. The light indicating that the charger is working only comes up about 10% of the time. When I am lucky enough that they light comes on and stays on, as soon as I connect the other end to my phone or MP3 player, the light immediately goes off. 2 HUGE, COMPLETELY UNRELATED PROBLEMS! The sign of a truly bad product. Save you're money and buy something you know will work well, like an extra battery.
Mimimally jump starts a BlackberryJun 02, 2009
I found this item at a warehouse club during Christmas and thought it would make great a stocking stuffer, so I bought several of them. The club store version includes both tiny connectors for the iPod and Blackberry (mini USB.)
I was eager to test this charger and had an excellent opportunity since my Blackberry was nearly dead. Upon inserted two AA batteries and connecting it to my Blackberry (Bold), the indicator light turned green and the unit became warm. It ran for about 15 minutes and then turned off. I thought it was defective since it only added one bar to the battery meter on my phone and turned off so quickly. I removed and reinserted the plug and the green light quickly turned on and then immediately off. Believing the batteries might be defective, I inserted an additional 2 cells nnd the process repeated itself, while adding another bar to my phonne. Thinking the unit was defective, I opened another new unit and tested it again with the same results.
I'm was surprised by the small amount of power generated by two AA cells, and using such a method for even emergency charging would likely take 8-10 batteries for a full charge. I tossed this unit and bought the Duracell USB Charger DR7000LI, which contains a sealed lithium ion battery and functions the same. The difference a lithium ion battery makes is remarkeable.
While this unit might charge small electonics like iPod (about 75% charge from 2 AA cells,) I cannot recommend this product, particularly if your intended use is to charge a Blackberry device.

Doesn't work with rechargeablesApr 29, 2009
This unit seems to have been tuned work only with disposable batteries and that is very disappointing. From what little I know of the technology being used here, it is pretty easy to find a DC-DC inverter that will accept 1.25V in as well as 1.5V and still put out 5V. It looks like a deliberate attempt on Duracell's part to sell more alkalines. Boo, hiss.

Beware: won't work with rechargeable batteriesJan 21, 2009
In a cynical attempt to get you to buy their alkaline batteries, Duracell has made this product so that it won't work with rechargeable batteries. In this day and age, for economic and environmental reasons, that is deplorable.
