"The only known tester who disapproves of the product is the anonymous poster tilyou dotes on who admits he only tested early versions of the product, not the version for sale nowadays."

:) yeah, thats me. To be clear, I don't dislike this product because it performed poorly in my testing. I dislike it because the claimed performance is worse than incumbent technology.

20 Watt-hours it simply not that spectacular (its not even good) for a unit that is as large as this device and as expensive. Want 20 watt hours? Simply get a rechargeable Li+ pack available almost anywhere, and then 'fill it up' for free before long trips. Same utility, lower cost after 2 or 3 fills, longer life.

The 1 watt output is even worse, it makes for very long charge times. The 2W system is still based on the 1 watt fuel cell, so it only provides high power for a short time.

Anyway, good luck with your testing. If you want a small pack filled with 6 Lithium AAs that provides more power, more energy and lower cost, I can make you one. :)
