you are using it to also charge another device then that can considerably reduce it's capacity. I can fully charge my iPhone twice with it, but then of course that kills the battery pretty quick. But not bad if used as a last ditch need for charging.

It's working pretty well. The only thing I haven't been able to really test is the range given where I'm currently located, I'm in a bit of a dead zone at the moment, but I was easily able to do several kilometers in my initial test. As for operating under its own power, a week plus easily unless

Very cool!
