Actually doing the math on this one... its no where near 10000 mAh... more like 2000mAh which is still pretty dang good, but not what the ebay add is stating.

Its a 10Wh unit at 5v. Ah = Wh/v : 2Ah = 10Wh / 5v, 2Ah = 2000mAh
I believe my math is correct on that, but I am no electrician or engineer so if there is one who checks that, please correct me if I am wrong.

I looked at the kensington power supply and was not impressed. A friend of mine had one and it gave him nothing but trouble! I bought a Tekkeon power supply, sure they are bigger but the battery life is awesome and it has adjustable power settings from 3.5 to 14v. My Tekkeon rocks!

I see Amazon has the Tekkeon 1650 for $14.99. Sounds like a deal to me!

No, it won't work, you need something that will put out 5v 2 amps, 1 amp is not enough.

Good catch Col. Gaunt. My bad.

Do APCs still go to sleep? No Tekkeon's here on Amazon in the UK apart some some 'thing' over £100 hehe!

My Kensington is surely coming to the end of its short but hard life, it doesn't last as long so it must be getting close to its 300 cycles!

Its replacement will be due!

Anyone saying it is rubbish perhaps have had one of the 2 faults I have found with it. Fault number one is the Kensington will DIE if shorted. To bring it back to life it needs to be plugged in to the charger again Shorting is too easy though as the USB plug can get jiggled and cause that so unplug when not in use or use a second USB power pack to charge the Kensington/bring it back to life !

2nd problem is the power indicator is to be ignored! Under 4 lights and you have an hour left before it needs recharging. It will stay a long time at 5 and 4 lights and then drop very fast so beware!!

Heed these warning and the Kensington is your new best friend! Happy vapings!!!
