This Alright, this Kensington 5v PP is starting to freak me out

[IAmThatGuy]

I have been near chain vaping this thing at 5v for 24 hours straight on the first charge.

It still has 5/5 battery power.8-o

Anybody who has one want to tell me how long it'll last? I'm not complaining, I'm just kind of blown away. I'd have gone through 8 short batteries by now.

And yes, I've been up all night vaping this thing purely out of a kind of exhilarated curiosity, checking every few hits to see if it's gone down one bar yet. XD

Which model do you have? Does it fit in your jeans pockets? I'm thinking I need one of these.

Sez here it's an "Ultra portable battery pack", model K38021/K33396.

Still on 5 bars, btw. Continuing to vape. NO SLEEP TILL 4 BARS!

I have two and they both have inaccurate battery meters. They will last a long time on 5 lights, and a little while at 4 and 3, then they die. While charging they'll hit 1 and 2 lights, but while using they drop straight from 3 to 0.

They still last so long that I don't even pay attention to exactly how long (day and a half? 2 days? 2.5?), I just know that 3 lights means it's time to think about recharging.

Exactly what I was about to say! I would like to add that as a general rule I put mine on to charge every night before bed. I found this much the best way to ensure no vaping interruptions during waking hours. Happy Vaping!

For those who were wondering, like I was:

This review is from: Kensington Battery Pack and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G (Electronics)
The Kensington battery Amazon is selling is model K33396US. Amazon just shipped me the K38021/K33396, but the packaging still has K33396US printed on it. Why is this important? The K33396US has a battery charger designed for travel abroad. It has two European style plug adaptors that slip into the battery charger. The K38021/K33396 has a fixed battery charger with a US only plug.

Heres a unit made by Energizer that looks like it would work:

Output is only 1000mAh...

Here is the direct link to it, and its specifications.

It does look like a very good unit. The bars on the meter could also be a power indicator, not at all like a vehicle gas tank, but it could be read as 5 bars lasting for so many hours (or days), meaning you can get 5 volts for a really very very long time.


How big is it? It said battery pack about 4 by 2.2 inches, but is that its battery pack, or the whole thing???

I just bought on at Comp USA for about $26 shipped! Not sure if they're still there but check it out!

Anyone see this:

Xantrex Power Pocket Powerpack 100 watt - DonRowe.com

It doesn't specify the output on the usb port though.
