The Chargepak A1 is specific to the Pure One Mi DAB/FM Radio and works well as a rechargeable battery pack - a necessity in order to make this portable radio portable (which wasn't initially clear to me when I first bought this radio)!
The chargepak is compact and light - adding negligible weight to the radio.
It is advertised as lasting upto 18 hours (depending on use). During first use, on a full charge, it lasted nearly 20 hours on fairly low volume (position 7 or 8) with good signal strength. It was noted as being 'fully charged' because it did stop charging after several hours.
The instructions do state, "When charging your ChargePAK for the first time or after an extended period of inactivity it is recommended that it is charged for around 24 hours to ensure full battery power."
However, on recharging the battery (with the radio plugged into the mains power) it does not seem to stop charging!? After almost two weeks (yes, 2 weeks!) it was still reportedly recharging!? However, in disconnecting the radio from the mains, the battery lasted for well over 19 hours.
On a third recharge I left it charging for just a day (a full 24+ hours) before disconnecting from the mains. It was still reportedly charging. The battery lasted almost 20 hours. So it does appear to charge up OK in the stated time, it's just that it doesn't appear to stop charging or give a true indication as to whether it is charged, except apparently the first time it was charged?! But may be this is an issue with the radio itself and not the battery per se?
A must have for a portable radio and does it's job well - but remember to unplug it when you think it's been charged enough!

I bought this battery pack for my mother to go with the Pure radio which it fits. She wanted it for her campervan as an alternative to listening to the van's radio when they were parked up. I didn't want that she should have a great radio and then need to keep paying out for batteries so this seemed the perfect compromise.
It works well - she charges it up before going away and then when it runs down, can charge it up again on the road whilst they're driving and then play it in the evenings when they're not. The problem is that buying this pack converts a reasonably cheap portable DAB radio (at around £30) into quite an expensive one.
Buy ONLY if you really need to have portability, won't be able to plug it in when you are listening and will use this enough to get value from avoiding buying batteries.
In short, it's good but it's quite expensive.

PURE ONE Mi, Palm-sized Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black
The charge PAK A1 is well worth purchasing, its easy to fit and means the radio can be used in all locations rather than being tied to a socket. When using mains power the battery is automatically charged meaning the radio is available for use in or out at any time.

Necessary battery for radio
Disappointed that I was sold a radio, without a battery. A £29.85 DAB radio ended up as a £47.77 radio, once I had bought the necessary battery.
The battery works fine.
