(More customer reviews)I got the unit in a timely manner. However, when I put in four fresh AA batteries and plugged it into my ipaq h3850 and turned on the battery unit and the PDA, the PDA screen flickered briefly, then died. After that, the PDA would no longer turn on, even when plugged into the AC adapter. The ipaq h3850 requires 5 volts of power. The Gomadic unit supplies 6 volts (four AA batteries is 4 x 1.5 volts = 6 volts). Supposedly, the Gomadic unit regulates voltage, but if it doesn't, that would explain why my ipaq died. The construction of the battery pack is also somewhat flimsy -- cheap plastic. Overall, I am very disappointed in this product and would NOT recommend it to anyone. I want my money back (and more than that, I want a working ipaq, but this is rather unlikely).
