Perfect for Emergency
I purchased this On The Go Charger in hopes that it would be able to "fully" recharge my Galaxy SII# My cell phone battery never completely died on me# I just wanted to make sure that if my cell phone battery charge went below 10%, I would have the capability to recharge the battery to at least 50%, while on the go# I did not know about mAh at the time of purchase#
I got my charger and was so excited# I hooked it up and charged my new On The Go Charger until I saw the little green light #indicating that the device is fully charged and ready for use##
Now here is the test:
My cell phone battery life was at 40% at 2:40 pm# I connected the On The Go Charger to my cell phone, pushed the button to "Out", my phone indicated that it was "charging" and I left the phone alone#
At 3:07 pm, my screen lit up, indicating that the On The Go Charger was no longer charging my phone# Checked my batter life and it was at 50%# Not bad!!!!!!!! #Not bad at all for a device with a 400mAh Lithium Ion rechargeable battery##
Which brings me to my next point: mAh
If you do not know #as I didn't#, mAh = Milliamp Hours, is a unit for measuring electric power over time. mAh is commonly used to describe the total amount of energy a battery can store at one time.
So, the lower the mAh, the less power the battery can store. Hence, the reason this charger was no able to completely recharge my device.
In my opinion, this charger is perfect for "EMERGENCIES". If you are looking for an On The Go Charger that will "completely" recharge your electric device, this may not be the product for you. You may want to look for a device that offers more mAh power.
Guess what? Rayovac has one. Rayovac Back-Up Charger. It's has 800mAh Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.

Handy product for trips and camping
I like it. It is small, charges fast, and can easily charge most of your portable devices. The only drawback is how quickly it runs empty. But, if you have access to a power source, a power inverter, or a cigarette lighter, it's a snap to recharge it. And it draws so little power you can charge it in your vehicle without running the engine, and it won't drain the vehicle battery enough to prevent ignition.

junk port falls inside the charger
bought 5 of these, for me & family members.
Great for a couple of uses, then every one of these, the IN port dislodges and falls inside the charger rendering it USELESS, good idea POORLY MADE.
Unless Rayovac reimburses me for wasting my money I will buy another brand.

Will not charge my Smart phone
I bought this, because the battery in my smart phone does not last very long. However this will not even attempt to charge, it dies immediately.

DOESN"T KEEP THE CHARGE
This doesn't keep the charge until its needed! I charged it and then a day later, went to charge it and it might have lasted for a couple mins and only charged my IPHONE 4 under 10%. WASTE OF MONEY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

Problem
I bought this Item from Wal-Mart 2 days ago. I have had to charge it 7 times and it has partially charged my Smart Phone Android only 2twice, the 1st time it charged it from 20% to 45 %, the 2nd time was from80% to 95 % before it had to be recharged. I find this product a "TOTAL WASTE OF CONSUMERS MONEY"!

Great Product for people on the go!!
I was extremely happy with this product and so was my wife. The charger is small and holds a six hour plus charge for cell phones. If you travel you need this product.
