Editorial Reviews:

PowerSource Mobile 100 is ideal for people who frequently travel by vehicle and/or airplane. If your laptop battery runs low or you need more play time with your portable game console or portable DVD, simply connect your device into the AC outlet and keep going. Two USB charge ports will keep your Blackberry, iPaq, Palm, or iPod charged when you need it most. You no longer have to carry extra cords, chargers and device-specific batteries. You'll save money and space in your laptop carry bag!

Summary: Good Portable Power (within limits)
Comment: BACKGROUND
I been looking for a simple portable 110V power source that would charge via home or car. This unit is definitely the best on the market although limited in power output and run time. If you need to power something simple it is great but you cannot exceed the 60W output or it shuts off.
I have used these to demo web cameras which draw only 4Watts so it is a great device for that. It is also very good for a small DVD player or other portable device like Ipods or mini-TV's. Unfortunately, most laptops today will draw 60-90W so the charger simply does not power up. If it does it will shut down quickly.
ADVANTAGES
- Compact: Very small for a 40W-Hr supply (40W run for 1 hour)
- Reliable: Once charged it seems to hold a charge well for 2-3 weeks at at time.
- Good (but limited) run times: If power draw is low (@10W) it will run nearly 4hours.
DISADVANTAGES
- Cannot keep plugged in 24/7 to use as a battery backup since this may overcharge the battery.
- Xantrex does a poor job listing run times vs power draw or even explaining that with low power draw you can be quite long run times. This is a common principle in the backup battery area explained well by companies like APC.
SUMMARY
This is a great little supply for very portable devices. If you do not expect a battery backup solution or a big portable supply then you will be please with the product.

Summary: Bliss Remiss
Comment: I purchased this product with a two-fold purpose. 1) to maintain a full charge on my Blackberry and to provide for emergency power for my notebook. I have a FIVE PLUS star rating for the former and a "0" star for the later. When I found myself in a situation where I had to have another hours juice for my notebook, I couldn't even get a second. So, I'm not thrilled, but it'll do.

Summary: Great when traveling (excellent) immediate power
Comment: I purchased this for my laptop notepad. When traveling, Keep in mind if you have dial service up while traveling. It won't work when cruising through the internet unless you have mobil wifi. Otherwise you can use it for movies, music and basic paperwork and Microsoft office. It can work well if you find wifi near a UPS office,Kinkos,Banks,airport, cafe, or office building that has service within 500 feet. Yes, you can use it outside. And plug in the Power source mobile unit for instant power.

Summary: Love this product
Comment: I use this to power everything, when I travel out of the country - I recharge everything off this. saves my expensive equipment from possible voltage conflicts or fluctuations. Used on the plane with my ipod, and when I need to jog and the ipod is dead, throw this in my camelback and hook up to ipod and go - it actually charges it while I jog! Love this!
