 AWESOME product September 8, 2008
I commute to NYC 5 days a week. I use this product to charge my MP3 player while I am riding on the bus. This way during the hour I no longer run out of tunes before my bus ride is over. Without tunes an hour on the bus can get very long. This product is well worth the money.

Looking that the three versions of this 10W, 20W, 100W, I found the technical details on the B+D site helpful:
This Model # CPI10B has a 700mAh battery, the 20W a 2Ah battery, and the 100W a 4Ah battery. It looks like they are progressively heavier, but I can't find accurate figures on weight or dimensions.
Input - 7.2 VDC, 2.5A
Output - 115V AC 60Hz, 8W continuous
Battery - 700mAh, NiMH
USB - 5V DC (350 mA)
- * Approximate talk time based on average results using commonly used cell ohones. Results may vary depending on features/cell phone used
 Black & Decker 10 Watt Power To Go July 8, 2008

It's great! It's compact, light, and powerful. I would've gave it 5 stars but I didn't because it takes at least 12 hours to charge. I was able to get more than 10 watts of power, but I would recommend getting the Black & Decker 20 Watt Power To Go Cordless AC/USB Power Supply instead. Other than that it's great.

PROS: Small, easy to carry. USB and AC outlets. No need for a separate inverter.
CONS: This device takes 11 hours to fully recharge! Some devices can cause the Power-to-Go device to get very hot. Pretty bulky when you consider it cannot even fully recharge a tiny MP3 player like the iPod Nano.
I thought that this device would be able to fully recharge my at least my iPod Nano. I plugged it in when my Nano was at 50% and the Power-to-Go lost all it's juice before the Nano was even at 100%! The Power-to-Go was able to give me an extra bar of battery life on my LG LX8000 phone, but that was about it. Also when I unplugged my cell phone charger from the Power-to-Go, the metals plugs of my charger were very hot. The manual recommends that the Power-to-Go not be left unattended and that it be monitored for rises in temperature. I guess this device would be helpful for dire emergencies, but don't expect your electronic devices to be fully charged. Despite the small charge the Power-to-Go gives out, the power supply itself needs 11 hours to fully recharge from a fully discharged state. I've never owned any small electronic device that needed such a long recharge time.
