 Almost PerfectMay 21, 2009
Works perfectly for my daughter whose phone uses a mini-USB connector, but there is no fitting for my micro-USB connector for my phone. Guess what I did with it? That's right, my daughter got an emergency charge, which is OK. She forgets to charge MUCH more often than I do.
 A nice back upJan 15, 2009
I got this product for my girlfriend because she would always find herself out with friends as a DD and at times her phone would die and its always a worry when you cant contact a loved one. We got this product and put it to use right away, you get a decent charge out of a single battery (depending on what brand) and its little mini light feature is nice to have when you just want to look under the seats in the car or even outside in the dark, it's a very bright LED light. Good product, you can never be too safe, and it's so small you can put it anywhere from the glove compartment or a purse.

 Don't waste your moneyJan 07, 2009
After reading all the negative reviews I decided to take a chance and order this product for my new Nokia phone only to find out that it didn't have a cord compatible with my phone. So I contacted the manufacturer and waited for over a month for them to mail me a cord compatible with my phone (not to mention all the emails I had to send them asking for a status on the shipping of the cord). When I finally got it I was excited to try it. When I plugged it in to my phone I could see the battery "charging" BUT: 1. when I unplug it, it never shows that the battery was charged even a bit, regardless of how long it was charging or what type of battery I use 2. every few minutes it stops "charging" and I have to unplug it and plug it back in to "wake" it up. It's a pain! Save your money.

Very Flawed Product.Nov 23, 2008
Where do I begin??. This has to be the most upsetting thing for me for this product. Horrible at best. Here are few MAJOR FLAWS this product has.
1.Unable to fit rechargeable batteries but yet works fine with disposable batteries which gets eating away faster than you can keep buying. Sure there are those Lithium energizer ultimate batteries but they are still disposable.
2.Turbo Charger isn't really turbo. It does not have the power to charge my blackberry properly. the screen goes on and off like its having trouble charging the blackberry. Sure i turned it off and still it charges way too slow and the batteries inside turbo charger gets pretty warm which means its not every efficient.
Energizer Energi-to-go charger beats turbo charger hands down. It not only charges my blackberry while its still on with no problems at a fast charging rate. But also you can use any 2 AA batteries including RECHAREABLES and hardly ever gets warm. On a fully charged 2 AA 2500mah nimh batteries. My black berry gets fully charged when its off and 85-90% charge when its on. I am talking when my phone is fully discharged, and hardly ever gets warm which makes it a very efficient cell phone charger.
Something that turbo charger fails to do without eating away batteries first.
3.I had to take the paper wrapping off for rechargeable batteries just so it can fit.
I highly do not recommend this to anyone. Worst decision i ever made.
Now there are things to consider that might fix these issues. One of them happens to be that in fact this unit uses 1 AA. This means in order to charge your cell phone the voltage would have to go from 1.2/1.5 to exactly 5V. Thats a big boost from one AA battery.
All the conversion is lost as heat. Heat that is been generated = waste of charge because this thing eats batteries like there is no tomorrow.
The only downside with the energizer enrgi-to-go is
1. Has no switch for on and off
2.Has a high voltage termination threshold. This means when the battery gets around 75% charge left. Whatever you do, do not disconnect it from the phone that is charging or remove the batteries. Because once it goes off thats it and all that remaining charge wont get used. But if you don't disconnect or remove the batteries. Then the battery will get used up all the way.
Which is why i am looking for a charger that has the strength of the energizer energi to go but with a much lower voltage termination so that way i can turn it off whenever i want and not having to worry about not turning back on.
I try the Turbo Charge TB550 and see how that goes because this one is a complete failure.

 Looks like it'll fit to me - not.Jul 23, 2008
0ops, should have checked the list first. Does not fit many cell phones. Mine is a Nokia 6103 and none of the 10 adapters fit and they do not carry them at the turbocellcharge website they recommend you go to get the right one.
