Review: SGP F60Q External Battery
Comments (3) 
Made by SGP. As usual, the packaging doesn’t really tell too much about how this product functions.
Neither does the back. At least a potential buyer does get to see the physical size of the f60Q, but you’re wondering what’s below the white thingy… could it be the dreaded brick charger???
Portable gadget users with pathetic battery life (iPhones!) who has to run around or go on extended trips without access to a power outlet will all need this. Some prefer one of those external battery pack that latches onto the iPhone, but I think I would prefer an external battery pack with a USB port where I can charge iPhones, iPads and just about anything that could be charged through a USB port. I’m thinking about AA batteries and perhaps an orphan android device or two, which I happened to have. I have been looking around for one in Seoul and there where the usual Mophie or Belkin packs but they are usually come with the foreign brand tax. I was looking at the cheaper packs but my mind was polluted with all those images of exploding Chinese-made battery packs with defective circuitry. Actually my previous pack was one built by Mili for the iPhone 3GS but it doesn’t charge anymore, perhaps caused by my impatience through charging it with a 2A USB charger (the Mili was rated at paltry and slow 0.5A). It is dead and I need a new one with better amperage. Simple: more amps = less charging time, and I know at least the iPhone can be charged with an iPad 10W (5V 2A) charger.
My requirements were simple. I need something that could at least charge an iPad (>4000mAh), could be charged from an iPad charger since that’s what I have in my luggage or backpack when I travel – please, no external brick charger and light enough it doesn’t look like I’m carrying an external CDROM drive with me. So, lets see what we have here…
