Question: How long will this hold a charge and still be ready to do its thing?
Document: I am to the point where I am going to charge it just for the heck of it since I dont want to forget about it as it appears to never need charging. Granted I only use it as an emergency back up but I am still very impressed. Another thing to add is that out of the box it can NOT charge a dell streak. I do not hold this against the device but more against dell.
The IMP52D keeps the music and entertainment coming - I have never exhausted it!Mine was charged out of the box. As needed, just plug it in and it charges up to full quickly.I don't know how long it will hold a full charge without using it. I've gone several days without using it and didn't see a noticeable degradation in charge. After the Sandy storm disaster, this might be a good thing to have and keep charged up.
I was not expecting this unit to hold the charge for long, but it does. I have had it now since Sep 2011, it is still going strong. Holds the charge for weeks. The only item that I use it to charge is my phone. I am happy with this purchase. I have not tried to use it with any other device, but it delivers with my phone, more than I had hoped for. The device itself is made of plastic, sturdy and reliable.
Especially for a small device as this that only holds 5200mAH.Last of all, I enjoyed testing this battery pack but I still prefer my New Trent iCruiser IMP120D over this because of it's large 12000mAH that it holds. It pretty much can charge my iPad and iPhone at the same time without having to wait too long at all. So even though iCruiser hold more mAH, I still love to have this battery pack handy for my little power hungry devices. :)
I have what I believe to be an earlier model that puts out 5K MAH, and have used it on numerous occasions while on travel. Although it will charge my iphone 5 twice, what really amazes me is how long this thing holds a charge. I am about to travel and pulled this unit out to charge, and was amazed that it still reflected a full charge. And this is after having left it on my shelf unused for at least 8 months!
I know exactly what they meant! The size and weight are perfect. It had a partial charge when I unpacked it and was fully charged and ready to use within a couple of hours. I didn't have any trouble understanding how to operate it (and I'm 65 1/2 years old - some things take a little longer!) It's pretty self-explanatory. This was a good purchase and I wouldn't change a thing about the product. I love it!
Great! Small, portable, easy to use and easy to charge. Comes with a &#34;flashlight&#34; and overhead (red) pointer - very handy when you least expect to need it. Only problem is that the last blue light in the charging sequence doesn't work, so sometimes it's not clear if the device is charged or still charging, but either way it seems ready after charging overnight.
I have had this device for 9 months now, maintaining its charge so it would be ready when needed. The need has arisen all of 3 times, which makes it well worth it. So far, what I have used it for is powering my Samsung Intercept smartphone during a long bike ride, while running the Google Tracks app, which draws a lot of power because it uses the GPS function.
by far the most valuable item i have purchased from Amazon. i have long days where i'm on the move and the New Trent is always ready when i need a charge while doing my daily 2 hour commute. most internal batteries do not last more than an hour when listening to music on the cell phone but with new trent I am able to listen non stop from d.c. to bmore with little worry of recharging.
It seems aesthetic, and dangerous. I have since stopped storing the charger with a phone cord plugged into it, and only plug the cord in when I am ready to charge my phone.Otherwise, the product is great. I can usually boost my phone 2 or 3 times, which is great when it gets heavy use throughout the day. It does not take long to charge from low to full either.
Answer: i've had it in my backpack for a couple of weeks, held a charge fine for at least that long
