Product Description
The powermonkey will revolutionize the way in which you charge your devices. Imagine it's a portable petrol pump for your technology! Change the way you charge - forever! You know what it's like. You're away from home, nowhere near your car, you haven't got your mains powered charger with you (which is fine because you don't have access to a wall socket anyway!) and your mobile phone has just run out of battery power (again). Or maybe your iPod has just played its final tune... The powermonkey comes 60% pre-charged so it's ready to use, straight out of the box! To get the most out of your monkey, simply use the included mains adaptor to fully charge the powermonkey and you will get up to 96 hours standby on your mobile phone, 40 hours on your iPod, 6 hours on your Sony PSP, 2 full charges on your PDA plus it's original charge and up to 1600 pictures on your digital camera! The powermonkey will even hold its charge without leakage for up to 6 months! Small, agile and powerful, the innovative powermonkey can be left in your bag, car, desk, etc and will be ready to provide you with emergency power when you need it most. Ideal for holidays and trips, no need to worry about bulky chargers taking up lots of space! Powermonkey features 2 LEDs; 1) powermonkey Charging: flashes red when powermonkey needs charging, shows red whilst charging and green when fully charged. 2) Device Charging: flashes green when discharging to device and red when low battery voltage.

Customer Reviews:
Has saved me numerous amount of times!
I have a touch phone and its battery life is absolutely awful, and I had been looking around for quite a while for the chargers in shops where you simply put a AA battery into it and charge your phone up a minute amount; enough to be able to last until you can find a charger. First of all, I couldn't find one that was compatible with my model of phone - and thank god that there wasn't, because I went online and found this within a short time of searching. Not only does it save your battery from dying, but it can charge it all up totally! (Something I wouldn't have got with the AA battery alternative)
The tips (that you add on to the Power Monkey in order to connect it to one of many devices) are brilliant, and the fact that you can buy more from their website if you need it is even more so!
I wouldn't mind getting one of Power Traveller's higher spec versions of these, so I can use solar power (for festivals, such as Glastonbury) and have more battery life - as this Power Monkey lasts for one and a half charges of my phone, which is pretty good still and I'm sure I'll be getting my good use out of this model!
Recommended to those who are on the move all the time; are not at home often (as you can use it to charge all your devices, instead of carrying all of the cables around everywhere); and those who have mobile phones or iPods which are susceptible to a short battery life!
I don't leave the house without it now!
POWER 
Brilliant product and as others have said its a shame it hasn't got the recognition it deserves. I have bought this product to extend my iPods battery whislt on a 28hr flight. Straight out of the box this charged my iPod and still allowed me to listen to music and watch movies. GREAT PRODUCT
Power Monkey
Great product does everything that it claims. I use mine with a GPS and find that the "monkey nut" adaptor (mini USB) is too weak and have had to purchase a replacemwnt already.
Something simple that works!
Someone on the train suggested this product to me and he was right. Excellent value and range of attachments.
Inconsistent 
The Powertraveller customer services department is excellent. I should know, I've had so many dealings with them I know them all by name and voice. I bought my Powermonkey V1 in 2007 and I have now been through 4 failed units with the V2 being sent as the latest replacement. Device reliability is not a strong point as a quick search here and through the Net will show.
It does work, however only sporadically. And if you are willing to take the time to fiddle with it over ten minutes, you will eventually be able to charge your device. The functionality with the iPhone 3GS is fickle and I couldn't recommend the V2 if that is your primary device for charging.
Compared to V1, the V2 feels cheap and fragile with poor grade plastics and it would seem many of the rugged comments here relate to the V1, the reviews of which Amazon have pooled.
Finally, do not be tempted as I was by the solar charging option. Even in the glorious sunshine of Italy and France, I have never been able to have more than a third of a charge with a couple of days continuous full sun exposure. You will only be charging this from a mains supply.
