Energizer Universal 8000mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack – $39 on Woot!
Woot! has this 8000 mAh rechargeable battery on sale for $39 today (8/11/10) only. Add in $5 for shipping and you’re still about $40 cheaper than the best reputable price I could find on Amazone.
They advertise this as a notebook battery backup – however I’ve been using mine for about the last year as a “super extended” battery for my iPhone, BlackBerry and Android smartphones. In the time I’ve used it during lengthy day trips I’ve never been able to completely drain the battery to empty.
This ships with a large assortment of interchangeable tips so you probably can connect to just about any device you own.
What I’ve done is use my regular smartphone cable and plugged it into the USB port on this battery backup device. Works like a charm!
I’ve largely used this to recharge smartphones — so I cannot vouch for how well it will recharge a netbook computer (which is one of the things it’s advertised to do).
As a super extended battery backup — I recommend it. If you have kids who take their iPod Touches in the car on long car trips this can save you from having to drag a power cord from the front seat of the car into the back.
Remember – this deal is up for 8/11/10 only.
