Not bad. Not great, but not bad

I use this to charge my laptops once in a while. I can run my Compaq Presario V2000 for about an hour before the internal battery kicks in. I can run my Asus eee pc for slightly longer than that. I got that result on the bigger laptop about a year ago when I first bought this battery. I got the Asus result a few months ago. The battery gets hot if I charge it too long, and the transformer gets REALLY hot. It's possible that I lost some battery life just because I charged it overnight once.

As far as a 2nd laptop battery goes, this is fine. It's a lot cheaper than other "real" laptop batteries. I have a regular universal laptop battery, and that one doesn't last much longer than this one, and it cost twice as much. The price for this battery has gone down since I bought mine.

The nicest thing about this is that you can plug in a regular 3-prong plug. You don't need to buy extra tips. It is certainly strong enough to charge a cell phone or MP3 player, though I don't know how many charges you can get out of it.

Don't get your expectations up too high. You're not going to get 9 hours of extra laptop usage. But if you want to play with your laptop on a cross country flight, it'll work for you.

Nice product - Very useful for powering USB Based charging devices while traveling. Also for powering 110 V AC Devices. But not for longer charging time for Laptop.

tech specs

Looking that the three versions of this 10W, 20W, 100W, I found the technical details on the B+D site helpful:

The 10W has a 700mAh battery, the 20W has a 2Ah battery, and this Model # CPI100B the 100W a 4Ah battery. It looks like they are progressively heavier, but I can't find accurate figures on weight or dimensions.

Note that the tech specs imply that the 100W model has two USB ports as compared to the single USB port in the lower models.

Input - 9.6 VDC, 15A
Output - 115V AC 60Hz-100W for 5 minutes, 80W continuous
Battery - 4Ah, NiMH
USB - 5V DC (350 mA) each x 2
- *Approximate talk time based on average results using commonly used cell phones. Results may vary depending on features/cell phone used

Great Little Gadget!!

Use this device to charge your iPod, Zune, portable DVD player, boombox, whatever you need. It's only 100 Watts, so be cautious trying to power up a laptop - I wouldn't recommend it. Living in the Midwest, this thing comes in very handy during power outages!
For small personal electronics, this thing is great. I work construction, and my Zune won't last all day. I dont always have access to electricity, so this portable charger is a godsend. (At just 100 watts, it obviously will not operate my 6 amp circular saw!) Unlike many other inverters, this charges from regular household power, not your car. You can charge your device from this inverter via either a three prong household type plug in or a USB port. It's light enough to take on a plane (be prepared to explain to the TSA bozo what it is).
Its lightweight for current technology, and will undoubtedly will get smaller and more powerful over time. Really a cool thing!
