Quality Issues Can Be a ConcernSeptember 18, 2008 The Kensington mini battery pack for iPhone is at first glance a nicely designed accessory for iPhone to provide much needed power for the power-hungry iPhone. The battery is sleek and compact and fits well to the phone just as advertised and overall seems to be a decent product.
My final verdict, however, will be determined by the actions of Kensington in how they ultimately resolve the issue that the mini battery pack I purchased is defective. The battery never fully charges even though the power indicator shows a full charge. The instant you plug it into the iPhone the blue indicator light drops to the middle light showing only a 66% charge on the battery. Kensington Tech Support has confirmed that that is not normal and that the battery is defective. They told me they were shipping me a new battery and that it would arrive in 10 to 12 business days. It has now been 15 days and I have not received anything in the mail from them. I have contacted them again and hopefully will get the situation resolved soon. So far they have been very prompt and courteous in every manner, so it is a bit frustrating that they have not fulfilled their promise of delivering a new battery replacement. I will update this post with the final outcome as it unfolds.
To conclude, assuming you pick up a unit that is not defective, it would appear that the mini battery pack lives up to the claims and is indeed a good fit for the iPhone. I still recommend it at this time as I don't think my situation is apparently all that common. Would be interesting to hear if anyone else has had a run in with a defective battery pack.
Butt saving back-up powerSeptember 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Owning a 3G iPhone is like owning a Ferrari with a two gallon tank. Thankfully, when I'm about to run out of juice at the end of the day, I can plug this compact back-up battery to the phone. Even when attached, the speaker and microphone still work well and you can charge it and the phone at the same time from your USB port. It's not something I use every day, but it's saved my butt on more than one occasion. Until Apple makes a phone with a battery life worthy of it's abundant features, this product is a great solution.
Good Battery BackupSeptember 8, 2008 I bought this battery for my short trip to Vegas and it worked great. I didn't have time to recharge my battery anytime when I landed. So about the time when I had almost no battery left on my iPhone, I plugged the Kensington Mini in and it almost fully charged my phone in about 30 minutes. Overall good product!
SufficientSeptember 7, 2008 I think this product is sufficient for use in the short term but obviously would not be a substitute for a direct charge by AC. I like that it's available and that I can use it when necessary. It is great to have as a backup in case the battery on my iPhone is low. It's also small enough not to be bulky and difficult to carry.
not for iPhone 3GSeptember 5, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
does not connect properly with the 3G model. Loses connection with the slightest movement. Great with older model so sold it to a friend with one.
