Tools and Hardware Reviews of FatCat FC-CC Travel Battery Pack

Customer Review: Worth Every Penny
Summary: 4 Stars

This charge card is worth every penny. I bought it out of necessity, having forgotten my cell phone charger, in JFK airport. Since it was only $5 more then a wall charger, and had the capability of charging everything I figured it was worth the chance.

Pros:
- Lightweight
- comes with it's own pouch/carrying case
- Every tip possible (even obscure kinds and general female USB)
- Keeps the charge for a very long time (week plus) without use
- Charges cell phone, kindle, iPod Classic/Nano/Touch (older models) quickly

Cons
- Carrying case doesn't securely close (some of the very small tips could fall out)
- No way to replace usb cord (that goes from powercard to devices) if you lose it without buying another unit
- Every tip possible
- Does not charge iPod Touch 4g

Since everything is home in the pouch it's not terribly difficult to keep track of all the small pieces. It's when the pouch falls upside down in your bag and you have to reach in to find all the tiny parts that is a pain. Additionally I actually lost the USB cord while traveling with work. Thankfully it turned up a few weeks later when a coworker asked if I knew what it was for, otherwise I'd have been out another $50 just to replace the cord. Since it is short and is detachable from the main card it can be difficult not to misplace in the myriad of computer cords that I walk around with.

This unit has gone so far as to replace my cell phone charger when going on short trips. It's able to recharge my Palm Pre 4-5 times before dying which is very impressive. It goes from 0% to 100% in about the same time as the wall charger (1.5-3hrs) but is much easier since I can keep my phone close and not have to worry about being near an outlet. I have also used it as a replacement battery for my iPod classic 4g which has a dead internal battery.

When charging the card the LED indicator lights can be quite bright - they flash/pulse the charging status until complete, then they just remain on. It's good to keep this away from other small items that can push the "on" button since you lose power faster that way.

This charge card/backup battery is probably the most reliable I have encountered, over a year old and still going strong. I am considering purchasing another so I can have two when I am traveling and charge two devices at once.
