Might as well just take yer normal charger afaic. that may be you, others may have a different view of it's usefulness, after all not everyone is near a charge point, or want's to fit a power point on their bike, I know that when I am camping for instance no charge points are available, and if I forget to charge my phone, but I am off out, I can charge it whilst it is in my pocket, which isn't fitted with a 240v supply, even in the car, I can charge a couple of phones, whilst the 12v socket is in use for the kids DvD, or sat nav! But for you, with your wind up grandad phone, I can understand that you would have no use whatsoever!  |

Actually with the speed you can use up my Samsung battery I can see a use for this. A couple of days away on the bike with no access to AC (I don't have a 12V socket wired to the bike either) This could be really useful.

So long as you've remembered to charge yer charger, and from your reasoning that's not a given is it, you've already stated how forgetful you are. Must be yer age  |

Must be yer age but it only needs charged occasionally, and if I am going to use it, then I will make sure it's charged, just like I did when I used it on the January jolly! |

Mind ewe, the only place that thing was travelling to was 'Back to the Garage' * (usually on the back of a transporter)**.  *did you see what I did there, ** and there |

Have 'accquired' one of these, ( well two actually)
thought it would be a good idea to keep in the pocket, top box..charge MP3 or phone on the move !
it's ok carrying a charger around, but that needs mains, so a long stop required..

Thanks for the heads-up Ian
I, for one, saw the potential benefits of this and bought one which arrived today.
Apart from the joke instructions (when will the Chinese employ a proper translator ?), the unit itself seems to be good quality and it's already charged my new smartphone for me

Yeah, but is it any good at boosting dead bike batteries?

I have something similar, not quite up to the capacity in the OP, but the one I got was from Aldi, is rugged and is what I use to charge my phone etc. when I'm out camping. What with Mp3 players, BT helmets, speakerpods and phones all needing maintenance.....gadgets like this are always useful to have.
