Amazon.com Product Description:

The VPX3101 is powered by Black & Decker's convenient VPX Battery System.

Plug and charge your small electronic devices via the USB port or the AC plug.

Perfect for charging cell phones, MP3 players, cameras, and more.
Introducing the VPX Lithium-Ion Battery System
Black & Decker's advanced, powerful VPX system guarantees the convenience of a rechargeable battery with maximum versatility. At the center of the VPX system is the 7-volt high-energy VPX rechargeable battery, which features breakthrough lithium-ion technology to generate more energy in a smaller package. The end result is a battery that's super-compact and 60-percent lighter than Black & Decker's Ni-Cad power tool batteries. And the VPX holds a charge longer, too -- so it's ready to work whenever you are.

With its versatile design and Black & Decker exclusive technology, a VPX battery is interchangeable with all the products in Black & Decker's growing VPX line. Swap out one battery for the flashlight, inflator, screwdriver, USB power source, cut saw, or 7-volt drill driver; or double the juice with two batteries to operate the 14-volt drill driver or the hand vac. And of course, every VXP battery and compatible product features the rugged, dependable construction you expect from an industry leader in home power tools.

About the VPX Power Supply
Enjoy power to go, on the go -- with the new VPX AC/USB power source from Black & Decker. This durable, portable, versatile device is just one more great offering from the revolutionary new VPX interchangeable lithium-ion battery system. Once you get started with the VPX system, it's easy to expand with other power tools, household devices, and electronic products like this one.

Enjoy life uninterrupted with mobile power when you use the VPX3101. This 10 watt AC/USB power source provides mobile power while you are away from home or the office to power and recharge cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs, digital cameras and more, so now it's easier than ever to end the frustration over dead electronics. The VPX3101 provides both AC and USB outlets so you can use your manufacturer's supplied chargers to power and recharge almost anything that'll fit in your purse, bag, or briefcase -- with no special tips or adapters needed. This amazing charger is powered by a single 7-volt VPX battery that is interchangeable with all other VPX products; but the VPX3101 is a VPX expansion product, and the VPX battery and charger are sold separately.

Key Technical Specs:
  • Powered by one 7-volt VPX battery (not included)
  • 120 volt AC outlet and USB port
  • Overload and short-circuit protection
  • Ground fault interrupter circuit technology


Applications
Use the VPX3101 to provide on-the-scene power to any electronic device that can be connected through an AC or USB access port. Cell phones, MP3 players, PDAs, cameras, and almost anything else is a snap to power up anywhere you need a boost.

This VPX product is covered by a two-year warranty from Black & Decker.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good product
Works well for its purpose. Have used to charge cell phone and iPod touch. Found out that cannot charge iPod from USB port because power draw is too high. May be able to use USB for charging smaller items. Works well for price.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Power on the go.
I love this little power supply. I read the other opinions and got the feeling Some of the people didn't give this device a good try. One must also keep in perspective what the device is offering to do. If you want more power (to run a lap top) then get a device that is rated to do so. I myself don't care to carry around a generator or a thirty pound car battery. It works perfect for what it is advertised to do. Plus the batteries are not dedicated. You can operate many devices with the same ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Underpowered but fills a (small) niche
This was on clearance at the home center, so I bought it along with the VPX sawzall. I bought it on a "why-not" whim, but doubt I would pay anywhere near what is the normal asking price -- and might not even pay the clearance price if given the chance again.

The AC jack is very low power, it can feed a cell-phone charger, PDA charger, or toy charger but that's about it. It dies with anything needing more wattage such as a laptop.

The USB port is very low power, only 350ma compared ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Unique Item That Fills A Role
This is an interesting little unit as it allows you to charge USB powered items such as a music player or an AC powered item (in my case a cell phone with AC adaptor) without the need to plug into the grid. The unit's size is about 1.5"x6.5"x2" or about the size of a medium flashlight. The weight with battery is 281g or a little less than 10oz. It has an on/off switch on the side so you don't discharge it and the outlets are covered by rubber covers that flip out of the way when in use.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good AC, Underpowered USB
I bought the inverter to do two things: 1) allow me to run an eight watt fluorescent light (for camping, or as a utility light) 2) charge my iphone when I need a little extra runtime. The inverter did fine for the first job. I was impressed how my bulb would get nice and warm, yet the battery would still remain cool. These VPX batteries (LiFePO4 I believe) must have really low internal resistance. However I was disappointed with the USB power source as it is limited to 1.75 watts (350mA)! This is enough power ...
