I recently used the extreme on a family car camping trip. It was awesome!! I was able to charge my phone several times and also charge my iPad. This product is great because you can take just the battery with you or the entire system. I charged the battery before I left (off the wall at home) and had plenty of juice to last me the entire trip. The Extreme is surprisingly light considering how much charge I got. If you are traveling with multiple people, are going on an extended trip or have several devises to charge, this product is great! My super gadget loving father-in-law was totally impressed also!

I got the PowerMonkey Extreme for a canoe trip to took to Yellowstone last year. I needed to charge an iPAD that we used for navigation, music, and a couple of movies. As well as charging my iPhone. I was a little worried because we were in a boat and it was GOING to get wet. it worked great!! The battery charged with the solar panel in about a day. I still use it a lot after my trip. it's awesome not being tied to an outlet. I use at at the airport, on road trips, even at home doing yard work. I never thought I'd get this much use out of it. I'm impressed!!
