Customer Reviews:

Would be great except for one bug.......2007-08-18

The device stops supplying power after 20 minutes unless you press the button on the unit. So, if you need to power a gadget or recharge something for longer than 20 minutes, you need to repeatedly press the wake up button on the unit. Other than that, it is a very nice device.

APC UPB10 Mobile Power Pack.......2007-08-12

I bought it for my son for his birthday and he charges his cell phone and Ipod on it. He is very happy with it.

Awesome.......2007-05-14

This device is fantastic. Just as it's description says it can charge and power any mobile device that can use USB as a power source. I've used it with my iPod, PSP, Nintendo DS, and even my GPS and it works beautifully.

Before I got it, I was expecting something larger and heavier that didn't hold it's charge as well as this does. I should have known better. All of the APC products that I use at home and at work are great and this is no exception to that rule. It easily fits into a pants pocket or a small bag that you might use to carry your other devices.

What has impressed me the most is how well it can hold it's charge when it's not in use. Other portable batteries I have tried usually get pretty drained rather quickly when sitting on a shelf or being carried around. I've gone weeks without using this and it still had a full charge when I needed it. That was a life saver. We were lost in another state and the battery in my GPS was almost dead. The UPB10 got us home with power to spare.

I haven't been able to test how much time it can add to my various devices, because it lasts longer than I have needed it so far. On a weekend it looks like I got an additional four hours on the PSP. I could have gone longer, but I ran out of time to use it. That was while using it when watching a movie on the memory stick and playing a game from a UMD disc. I was also using my GRADO headphones at a good volume level.

I have noticed that some people have commented that the PSP can't be charged from a USB cable. This is only true if you don't have the right kind of cable. There are several manufacturers that make a USB cable with an extra wire that plugs into the power port on a PSP. MadCatz even makes a retractable one that I use because it makes everything even more portable. There is also a similar cable for the Nintendo DS, which otherwise couldn't be powered by USB.

The UPB10 may seem a bit pricey at first, but with it's versatility and performance, to me it was worth every penny.

Not for PSP.......2007-03-21

The UPB10 information says that it will charge portable gaming systems and some of the advertisements show what looks like the outline of a Playstation Portable (PSP). However, the PSP does not charge via its mini USB port and APC has not released a cable that will connect to the 5 volt DC input to the PSP (nor do they have an estimated date of availability).

A bit of deceptive advertising in my opinion.

great but.......2006-11-04

Cool, small way to take along extra power when a car outlet isn't available. Metal trim piece on mine got stuck in glue used to hold it in package and tore off. Otherwise, a 5 star

Great product!.......2007-04-11

I had a chance to compare rechargeable batteries from several different manufacturers including Energizer and Sony. These are by far the best product ever. Highly recommend it.

Rechargeable batteries.......2007-01-10

Batteries have been working great, holds charge as rated. will order more when needed.

GE/SANYO NiMH Rechargeable Batteries.......2006-12-10

These are very good batteries. I charged those in my La Crosse BC-900 Charger. The following were the results after first charge.

The four AAAs rated 1000mAh nominal (min 930mAh), all come out above 1000mAh, but very close to 1000mAh. I used the discharge setting of 100mA and charge at 200mA. (Those who use the BC-900 will know what I am talking about).

The four AAs rated 2700mAh nominal (min 2500mAh) come out ranging 2.8Ah to 3.0Ah. I used the discharge setting of 250mA and charged at 500mA.

I just started to use these batteries and do not know long term reliability. So far I am very happy with them.

Overheated in my charger.......2006-11-23

I use a great charger (Lacrosse BC-900) and I've never had problems with the energizer batteries that I use.

I bought two packs of these GE/Sanyo AAA batteries and put them through a couple of discharge/charge cycles to get them up to their full potential. One set of batteries overheated in the charger and was destroyed. Not sure what happened to the charger.

Of course, this *could* be due to the charger but I've never had it happen before.

Good travel item - Bad if want to recharge ipod.......2006-02-25

I had this product for a month now and here is couple things I found.
Pros: - small, light and compact. Takes only 4 AA batteries, no recharger or power cord to drag around. Expect 4 to 6 hours extended music time, 1 or 2 hours of Video use. Great on Planes or traveling (just carry extra batteries).
Cons: - Use fresh batteries any old batteries won't work. Noticed if batteries drop below 5 volts (4 AA batteries = 6volts) they iPod will not see it or charge from it. The batteries still have plenty of life in them but you can't use it in this unit.
Quirk: You normally have to turn off the battery pack, plug in the iPod then turn on the battery pack for the iPod to see it.
Wish list: Wish they would have used a two 9 volt batteries instead, because the cut off point is 5 volts, anything below that the iPod will not see it (lightning bolt on battery icon).

A must-have for the traveling iPod owner.......2005-03-30

Once every couple months I travel either overseas or cross-country and I take my iPod everywhere. As most iPod owners know, especially those with the third generation iPods or earlier, battery life has always been an issue and I found my iPod battery running out unless I was lucky enough to find an electric outlet at the airport just before taking off. I recently ordered the Powerstick and it works great. Even charging my iPod for twenty minutes on the Powerstick gives me a couple hours of listening time. It's fairly compact (fits nicely in my messenger bag), simple, and relatively inexpensive. My only complaint is that it isn't rechargeable. In the end I bought NiMH batteries for it and it's still less expensive than rechargeable iPod pocket chargers.

KX-FA55 not compatible with all it claims on box.......2003-02-20

I bought this double pack of replacement cartriges because it said it was compatible with the KX-FPC96 fax machine. However the core was too large to fit in the slot. I'm sure it works just fine in other machines but not the KX-FPC69.

Panasonic KX-FA55 Replacement Film.......2001-11-23

This replacement film is needed for the FP80 Series of panasonic fax machines. The only thing I don't like about them is that they run out quickly if you copy a lot of things. There is not many different types of this film to compare it with, but overall, it is good enough minimal use. If you have a lot of faxes coming in, or you use it for copying, just keep a couple of extra ones around.

What I needed.......2007-09-01

These radios are great but I didn't want to constantly be buying batteries. Use them in the neighborhood to keep track of my almost teenage son. Just don't leave the radio in an article of clothing (in my case, his coat) and wash it. The batteries will have to be replaced if you do. You will find it's cheaper to buy this than just the batteries.

Excellent for long trips.......2007-07-20

In my last trip from LA to Malaysia (15 hours in airplane) I can enjoy all road with music and video. It never let me without charge inside the airplane.

Does exactly what I'd hoped for.......2007-07-06

A fly cross-country a lot and am so cramped in coach that I can't read or work with the laptop.

So I watch a lot of TV shows on the ipod. But the battery always dies during the flight.

But with the Volta battery, I don't have that problem anymore. Indeed, on my last trip I started watching before we took off and watched straight through to landing (paused during take off an ascent of course). And the Volta had battery life to spare.

Because my iPod's pretty full, I suspect I'm more likely to run out of video to watch before the Volta runs out of battery.

Excellent!.......2007-05-13

Nice, well-designed external battery. Excellent capacity. Compact and lightweight. On a recent trip, charged my video 60 gb and Mini Ipod and had more power to spare. Battery power indicator very useful.

Works GREAT.......2007-03-18

Works Great last a long time!

If it is dead when you get it in the box just charge it over night and it will be good to go.

Exchanged Volta Works Fine.......2007-03-13

March 11, 2007

I just got this yesterday and have yet to use it with my black 80 GB iPod. I purchased this after reading a lot of the reviews at iloungedotcom about all the different external battery packs available.

Attached to my black iPod, it looks great. The Volta's design integrates nicely with the iPod. Sonnet should also make a white version for the white iPods. The belt clip that comes with the Volta is a tight fit and is hard to get on and off. Once the clip is on, however, the Volta is securely attached to the iPod. The clip assembly does not even slide up or down the length of the iPod while attached. I tried attaching the belt clip once and probably won't use it in fear of scratching the face of the iPod.

The only small complaint I have is that the black dock connector-to-USB cable that comes with the Volta did not fit as well in the iPod dock connection as the Apple cable that comes with the iPod. I didn't try to force it into the dock connection.

Also, the Volta instruction booklet states that the iPod needs to be removed before charging the Volta although I emailed Sonnet customer service and the reply stated that it was acceptable to charge both the Volta and the iPod simultaneously.

March 16, 2007

I have had a chance to actually use the Volta. I ran down my 80GB ipod Video and used the Volta to charge it. I got less than two full charges. Now I am trying to charge the Volta fully again and it doesn't seem to be charging. I contacted Sonnet support and they said I must have a faulty unit. I will have to exchange this one.

March 19, 2007

I received my replacement Volta after the first one wouldn't charge anymore. I took it out of the box and tried to turn it on and no LED's would come on. It took a couple of minutes of charging before the red charging LED came on.

It has been charging for over 8 hours and the red LED has not turned off yet. It's supposed to turn off when charging is complete and fully charging the unit is supposed to only take approximately 6 hours. I will charge this longer to see if the LED turns off.

March 20, 2007

I woke up to find a fully charged Volta.

March 27, 2007

I used the Volta over the weekend from Thursday to Monday and it finally died Monday afternoon leaving me with a fully charged iPod. I have charged it again with no problems whatsoever. I would recommend this product to others.
