New battery charger (sort of)

[icemanmaz]

Just had to post this.
I have just got a Duracell instant charger (WOW)
You charge it up on the computer then its a portable charger via a usb.
Just think if you have a usb battery and this. Smoking on the go with a full battery.
Or just charge up a battery while out or take it on holiday the list is endless.

Ya can also get one that can charge USB devices on the go with a built in solar panel or from the mains, its called a Freeloader, I have not tried one but they look like they may work too!

just tried it out it charged a battery via usb no time at all

I wonder how many times you can charge an ecig battery with it, I am going to take a look!

I have a few cig batteries on the the go but I will try today to see how many chargers I get out of the battery and how long it takes I will be using a cig battery from the electronic cigarette company (UK)

I wonder why ecig chargers are so damn slow even with the teeny little batteries in an ecig such as the supermini or 901! Does it actually charge faster than on the mains?

Well I got mixed results.
It charged the battery 4 times
I timed it and the results were
1hour 37
3 hours 20
2 hours 17
3 hours 36
The cig battery lasted the same each time I could only use 1 battery as the usb charger I got from the electriccigarettcompany wont charge my gamucci batteries.
The one pos I got from the test though is if I had 3 batteries fully charged prior I now know I could last for 21 hours without a mains supply
