Kensington power packs

[jaki]

Would anyone be interested in one of these? I have bought a batch and still waiting for them to arrive, so I need to check they are in working order, but I won't need all of them when they get here!

They will be less than a tenner, including postage

those were a big hit over on ecf, people who got them were very happy with them

Pics?

Thanks for the link - that is the exact one. Also here on Amazon.www.amazon.co.uk/Kensington-Rechargeable-Portable-Battery-Pack/dp/B000VG8GEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302035863&sr=8-1

I bought a couple from PC World last year and use them to recharge my Tornado batteries when on the move or camping etc.

I also use them for my GD passthrough, although there is some discussion as to whether they are man enough to fulfil the 5v.

I looked to get some spares as I can't find either of mine as I have put mine somewhere safe, but the price was ridiculous and they were rarer than hens teeth.

Thinking that was still the case, I bought a deal from ebay for 6, brand new in their packets. I am not looking to make a profit on them, but need to cover paypal and postage costs as I don't want to be out of pocket either.

PS Handy hint and tip - do not hold your passthrough in your hand when trying to park as the RAC laugh at you when they have to come and remove your steering wheel to release the stuck passthrough lead.

They have arrived and popped the first one on charge to test - it seems fine.

Just weighed one in it's packaging and it is around 450g, so with second class recorded delivery, these will be £7.50 each.

Anyone interested?

How humiliating, poor Jaki I knew there was a good reason I don't drive

Going to have a look at the Kensingtons now.

As they are only 1-1.5a they aren't really man enough to power a GD passthru to get the best out of it

But they could be very useful for many other things

I bought one of these a while back as they were recommended for the GDPT..seems to work great for me :-)

It has been a while since I have used it though but def worth getting IMO
