I work on submarines and so, although we do have some 3 pin sockets, it is very hard to charge ipods etc when i'm away and the sockets are in almost constant use. I take the power monkey (i actually have 2) and from them i am able to charge my ipod, my ipaq 5550 and my nokia (for when we get alogside). It's simply excellent, you require relatively little time on the socket and one charge of the monkey seems to keep all my other bits going for ages. It holds its charge well and is really neat and compact to store (as space is obviously at a premium).
There are several little connectors which come as standard but you only take what you need, I had to buy one for my ipaq which cost £2.50 so little money for the high use i get. It comes with a set of international plug adaptors so you can charge the monkey just about anywhere you happen to pop up.
All in all i would argue that i put the monkey through some pretty hostile use and expect a lot from it and to be fair it delivers.
I would recommend it to anyone and a lot of my friends have started catching on now and are using them too.
Just a really good,practical, no nonsense piece of kit which does exactly what it says it does!

Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent product and I don't understand why it doesn't have a higher profile in the marketplace. Think about how many rechargeable products we carry in today's world, phones, MP3 players, digital cameras and PDAs. Even the best organised person can forget to ensure these sort of products are charged and ready for action all the time. You charge up the Power Monkey using a detachable mains adaptor and you can then connect it to what ever you need to charge whilst on the move. The device is essentially a very compact, lightweight "reserve" power supply which comes with a variety of connectors to fit most products. This is a very useful, well made and versatile product (complete with a small case) and at this price you'd be silly not to carry one. Easy to use and hard to be without - buy it with confidence.

The Powertraveller customer services department is excellent. I should know, I've had so many dealings with them I know them all by name and voice. I bought my Powermonkey V1 in 2007 and I have now been through 4 failed units with the V2 being sent as the latest replacement. Device reliability is not a strong point as a quick search here and through the Net will show.
It does work, however only sporadically. And if you are willing to take the time to fiddle with it over ten minutes, you will eventually be able to charge your device. The functionality with the iPhone 3GS is fickle and I couldn't recommend the V2 if that is your primary device for charging.
Compared to V1, the V2 feels cheap and fragile with poor grade plastics and it would seem many of the rugged comments here relate to the V1, the reviews of which Amazon have pooled.
Finally, do not be tempted as I was by the solar charging option. Even in the glorious sunshine of Italy and France, I have never been able to have more than a third of a charge with a couple of days continuous full sun exposure. You will only be charging this from a mains supply.

It works OK but it does not have enough capacity for a full charge for my Nokia mobile. If used for topping up, it also does not have enough power to make the phone show fully... Read more
