 Great for SOME products Jul 24, 2010
I picked one of these up at Frys for $20. It's a good unit, giving me a solid 10 hours of life on my iPhone 3G before even touching the internal battery.
I just upgraded to an iPhone4 and the battery isn't recognized. I plug in, nothing happens. I'm guessing there's something weird in the new phone. Great for older ones though. Almost essential.

I bought this battery so long ago; I can't even begin to remember how old this thing is. It just keeps on working and working.
On a recent trip to Europe I forgot my iPad charger, remember that device requires a 10W USB charger and nothing I had would charge the thing; except this battery. It was a struggle, but I managed to keep my iPad running for 10 days. I'm happy to report, this battery will charge an iPad. A 100% APC charge equates to about 20-25% of a charge on the iPad.
Simplicity, that's this battery. Plug the battery into a laptop, or USB adapter wall wart (like an iPhone adapter), with a mini USB cable (the ultra common cable for digital cameras) and wait about 4 hours for the battery to fully charge. How do you know it is fully charged? Press the silver button, the white light bar on the front lights up in 4 segments to show percent charge. When all four lights are lit (the bar is fully lit), the battery is 100%.
How to charge a device, plug the big USB rectangular side of your USB cable into the USB port, press the silver button and 20 minutes of charging happens. The white light on the front shows how much battery is left.
One press is about enough to fully charge a completely dead iPhone 3 or 3Gs. It takes two or three pushes to get 25% on an iPad. Any other USB device can be charged with this thing.
If I'm guessing, this battery is about 2 or 3 years old. It still works perfectly.
Great product Apr 21, 2010
I bought one of these for around $10 when Circuit City was closing. I've had it for over a year and I love it. It surprises me how long it lasts. I can fully charge my iPhone at least twice on one charge. After that I usually will go ahead and recharge the APC so I'm not sure how much longer it would last. It's very lightweight and I carry it with me in my purse. I use my iPhone constantly and don't want to be caught with a dead or low battery with no way to charge it so this is great!

Amazing product! Feb 12, 2010
I have purchased four APC universal batteries. I use them for my iPod, iPhone, and other MP3 players. They are so easy to use and I don't know how many times I have been saved by them when a device's main battery runs out of juice. I love them so much, I bought them for my parents, brother and sister. A+!

 Disappointing Nov 22, 2009
That's right - no cabling, no nothing comes with it. Hard to find cables.
