iGo battery charger report - OK!

ZenEngineer · 11-05-2008, 05:06 PM

My overseas trip was unexpectedly extended so at an airport Brookstone I bought an iGo Power Xtender (AA powered) and A54 PSP tip to charge my 505. It worked fine and recharged from 0 bars (low battery warning) to 4 bars in about 30 minutes with no problems. I don't know how much is left in the AA batteries, but I'll see if I can get a 2nd recharge out of them.

Sounds like a nice little thing to toss into a checked bag for the next trip! Surprised it charged to full so quickly, thanks for the review!

It's great for the reader, charges it in nothing flat 5 or 10 minutes on the batteries will give you a whole day of reading. Now, if only it could do that for the camera, the iPhone, etc.

On a recent trip I arrived to discover I'd left behind my regular charger and only had the tips (iPhone, eBook, camera, camcorder) and the battery charger. I went through a LOT of AA batteries that week!
