I also assume it comes with MicroUSB, MiniUSB, and iPhone interchangeable connectors out of the box? What about the PSP barrel plug, or the DS plug?]]>Nov 12th 2009 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/

got two at costco for $15

not as nice but they work great]]>Nov 12th 2009 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/Nov 12th 2009 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/*6 KBC-D1AS is designed for electrical output (USB output) only. AA-sized eneloop rechargeable battery charger (sold separately) is needed for battery charging.

So, no recharging of this on the move. Which is deeply sad. I'd love something that's small and light and can do both >500mA charge and discharge.

Regards charge/discharge current, the USB standard says that pre-negotiation, you only get 100mA. Afterwards, you can raise this to a max of 500mA, but most dumb power sources don't negotiate. Instead, there are two ways a device can tell it's connected to one of these, the Apple way, and the way everyone else does it. Apple need 2.5V on D+ and 2V on D-, whereas everyone else uses D+ and D- shorted and floating. Whichever method is used, a device can then draw >500mA.

Maxim now do a chip that can detect which device is connected and supply the right D+ and D- hints to let it charge at full whack.

It takes 4xAA batteries, has a mini USB port to let you charge NiMH batteries inside from a computer, and can power pretty much any USB device.

They also make a variety of adapters for devices that don't support USB. It comes with a bunch, and you can even buy one for the Nintendo DS.]]>Nov 12th 2009 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/
I would also like to recommend the Tekkeon... you can get about three full charges back on a G1 with 4 Eneloops (I use Eneloops as they are low discharging batteries -- they won't lose their charge while they sit in the Tekkeon).

The ability to charge the Eneloops in the device, or swap out for pre-charged Eneloops, is what makes this a true winner.]]>Dec 8th 2009 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/Nov 12th 2009 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/Nov 12th 2009 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/Nov 12th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/12/eneloop-stick-booster-supplies-emergency-power-to-your-portable/
Many thanks, the Tekcharge MP1550 seems just about perfect for my needs. The MP1800 is even sexier, but being able to swap batteries is sweet.

P.S. Yes, I'd also love to be able to change my password.!
