Best iPhone Battery Backup

ImaxPower continues to improve its service even as their products become more popular by improving on its website and encouraging electronic dealers to share in the wealth.

Thanks to word-of-mouth, IMaxPower’s bestselling IMP500 has made the website widely visited, but the worldwide leading Li-ion polymer (LIP) battery pack manufacturer for the mobile electronic device is not one to rest on its laurels. Because of the high standard of manufacture and customer service that IMaxPower insists upon, they may be just be the ultimate source for laptop battery and iphone external battery for both sellers and buyers alike.

Currently, IMaxPower has only one authorized third-party reseller, which is Golflogix, mainly because the company’s own value system represents the company standard of IMaxPower. This is not to say that other resellers cannot ask to share in IMaxPower’s pie, provided they are as committed to providing the level of customer service and satisfaction that IMaxPower insists upon. The new website makes it easier for forward-looking companies to do just that.

The Proof of the Pudding…IMP500 makes a hit in the US market

All the marketing efforts in the world can never be a lasting substitute for a good product and service. Of course, good products need exposure, how else will people know about it? But the proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating. And the proof of any marketing claim is in the using.

The people behind IMaxPower’s IMP500 lithium ion polymer (LIP) battery extender for IPhone take pride in the quality of the product as well as its after-sales service. The IMaxPower Battery Pack IMP500 has a capacity of 5000mAh at 5V of power, which is on average 400% the capacity of standard batteries. This LIP battery cell weighs only 130g and is slightly smaller than an IPhone. There are lots of IPhone battery extender products out there; you just need to punch in “IPhone battery extender” on your favorite search engine and you come up with millions of hits. So what does a normal consumer do to maximize the purchasing power of his hard-earned dollar? Why, he looks for reviews. The thing is, are they true?

Anyone who is in the least Internet savvy knows that you have to be careful about what you believe. Everyone from the mischievous to the downright dishonest makes use of the World Wide Web to get the job done, so the real nuggets of truth sometimes gets lost in the babble. With some effort, the following reviews for IMP500 passed muster in terms of credibility of the reviewer (they have a history of reviewing other unrelated items) and the ring of truth in the review.

D. Weichert wrote in July 1, 2009 that the IMP500 was a “Great product, but FABULOUS service.” This is with reference to the “personal touch” with which IMaxPower responded to his issues.

James Orrahood of Henderson, Kentucky, however focused more on the product. He stated that “I purchased the IMP500 and I couldn’t be happier” but urged that “american [sic] companies need to take note of this product and come out with an even better product” alluding to the fact that the IMP500 is the brainchild of a reputable foreign manufacturer, although the distributing company is a US company. He muted his phrase by making a request that the already compact IMP500 become “thinner, smaller and that could hold the iphone and headset all in one attractive, protective case.”

Amazon buyer RedDev11 gives the product unstinting praise as he compares it to other brands “right off the bat, simply because of the strength of this piece.” He likes the way that the IMP500 “charges just about everything you can think of” and had even tried successfully to charge several gadgets at one time using a USB hub. His comment that “The only negative I can think of about this product, is that it only comes with an adapter for my iphone…and doesn’t come with an ac plug” means he did not purchase the item direct from the IMaxPower website, which includes the AC adaptor free. Nevertheless he “rate(s) the imax 11 stars.”

Other reviews say pretty much the same things, and while most users are from the US, Australian users have nothing but high praise for the versatile IMP500. Good quality, after all, knows no nationality.

The IMP500 is a product of ImaxPower, the world’s leading manufacturer of the LIP battery pack that provides extended battery life for many of the more popular mobile electronic devices, including all models of the IPhone, IPod, Nintendo DS, Kindle and Blackberry smartphones. IMaxPower also provides the batteries for many models of HP and Dell laptop computers.

The world has changed considerably since the advent of mobile devices. It is now accepted practice to be on the move at all times with no worries of missing that important call, email or message because we carry most of this capabilities in our pockets. Nor is it a hassle to bring your children along to long trips because they have their own diversions whether it be their cell phones, MP3 players or portable game consoles, often all in one package.

What does serve to ground most people is the need to be near an electrical source to charge their batteries. Because of the extended capabilities of most mobile devices, there is always the problem of running out of the necessary juice to sustain one through all those applications and amusements. This is where the IMaxPower IMP500 comes to the rescue.

There are quite a few battery extenders in the market today, but none really live up to the capability of the IMP500, simply because it provides 5000mAh of juice in one charge, much more than other battery extenders. And when it comes to battery extenders, isn’t the proof of the pudding in the amount of extension it actually provides?

Sure, there are some battery extenders that are sexier, being cableless and allowing the mobile device owner to slip their gadgets into it and continue using it comfortable as a phone or whatnot while recharging. However, the advantages of using the IMP500 with its retractable USB cable are significant.

The most important advantage, as pointed out earlier, is that none of these devices provides for multiple charges as much as the IMP500. The IMP500 provides up to 4.8 charge cycles for a 3G IPhone, for instance. That translates to as much as 38 hours of use per charge of the IMP500, the time varying depending on the actual applications used, but even for video there has been testimony of as many as 6 full-length feature videos of continuous play. What does this mean? This means you no longer need to worry about running out of battery even on a long flight of more than a day, even with continuous use of the mobile device.

Another advantage of using a USB cable is that it makes the IMP500 much more versatile. With the correct cable type, the IMP500 can provide charge for almost any kind of mobile device that accepts a USB connection for charging such as the IPhone, Blackberry, Kindle, Nintendo DS, and so on. It is really just a matter of having the right kind of cable i.e. micro versus mini USB, which makes the IMP500 a multipurpose item, certainly worth much more than its $59 price tag. Try fitting your Nintendo DS into that sexy cableless battery extender designed specifically for an IPhone! One user even reported using a 4 port USB hub to charge four gadgets at the same time and was amazed that the IMP500 was able to charge each one simultaneously. That’s convenience.

Moreover, you have a choice of charging the IMP500 itself with the rapid AC charger (available online at a minimal additional cost when ordered with the unit) or the accompanying USB charger that you can plug into your portable or desktop computer. With the rapid AC charger, the IMP500 is fully loaded and ready to go in as little as 1.5 hours.

And last but certainly not least, the price for an IMP500 is considerably less than for cableless battery extenders, which start from $80 up, even with the lower power capacity. Many of the other battery extenders are also more fragile than the IMP500 because of its tough yet elegant casing, and it is not much bigger than the IPhone, so you will be able to use it much longer with more gadgets and still be highly portable.

Despite these advantages, some users do have a beef with the fact that the IMP500 does no automatically shut off when a mobile device is fully charged. The worry is that this may cause the mobile device to overheat. The presence of the LED indicator is meant to indicate to the user that the mobile device has finished charging. There is actually little danger of overheating as the IMP500 has a built-in current protection unit that prevents the mobile device from accepting more than the capacity of its own battery.

However, the designers of the IMP500 welcome such feedback and are determined to improve an already great product by addressing minor concerns such as these at the earliest possible opportunity. There are plans to adjust the LED trigger threshold of the next generation of the IMP500 so that the unit will automatically turn off when the charging is done. This is also one other good thing about the IMP500; the manufacturers stress not only excellence in product design, functionality and safety, but also after sales service. All concerns are addressed immediately with a minimum of fuss or dispute.

IMaxPower has been in the battery extender business since 2003 and has continuously come up with better products that satisfy the needs and address the concerns of the mobile device user. The increasing demand for the latest model IMP500 is testimony to its capabilities, and the people behind IMaxPower are determined the product will continue to go beyond expectations of its customers by unflagging research and development of an already amazing product.
