Description
Whilst we are not referring to Ted Bakers muscles in this review, the six pack is the ultimate mobile users dream, more so for us here at CB HQ with all the devices we get in for review. Essentially the pack contains numerous adaptors for charging popular makes of USB equipped PDA/GPS and Mobile phones, from Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson to even the iPod nano.

In the Box

The box itslef contains a USB to Mini USB cable, a retractable cable which is compatible with the following inter-changeable connector heads: 1 x Nokia – Universal , 1 x Sony Ericsson - Universal, 1 x iPod, 1 x Samsung, 1 x Mini USB, 1 x Micro USB, 1 x 4.0 DC, a World AC Power, Car Power Supply (with USB) and a drawstring bag to dump all your bits and pieces into.

Spec
  • The charger measures just 100 x 62 x 15mm or 3.9 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches and weighs 120g or 4.2 oz).
  • Provides 3400 mAH storage capacity
  • 5v, 700mA output (enough for even the most power-hungry mobile devices)
  • LED charge and discharge indicator
  • Microswitch on/off selection
Design/Features

In use the portable charger took over 5 hours to fully charge from our mains supply, though we are not sure if attaching this to a 4-way mains adaptor caused it to take so long.

But once fully charged we could use the adaptors to charge almost any device we had available.

Connecting each adaptor is easy as pie, with the retractable cabling system - which allows you to stretch out a long cable from the USB mains adaptor to your device - has a connector on the end where you can add the various types of power convertor you want to use.

So in practice we were able to charge our digital camera, which uses a DC In (5v) Power connector, a GPS PND, various smartphones, Nokia N73, Samsung i780, iPhone nano, Sony Ericson W960i and all without having to dig out the original mains adaptors.

We did find that the Nokia adaptor did not seem to power the N82 or E90 Communicator (with the latter it would start to charge and then stop, so we are unsure if it was a dodgy connector on the device or the adaptor itself) and it won't work with older Nokia devices which don't use the dinky power connector.

Additionaly the car charger also has a USB connector on the end which will work with the various different connectors you have at your disposal.

With the portable 3400mAH of storage we were able to fully charge several devices from the one charge and this is a great tool for emergencies - when you can't get to a mains point.

The charger/carrying bag are also both stylish and for anyone who needs to charge different makes of phones or simply requires a means of charging there devices away from the mains, then the Ted baker Kit is a great purchase.

Whilst difficult to vouch for every mobile (a few Nokias did not work), the Ted Baker Six Pack Travel kit should be able to charge most modern devices, including, mobiles, USB GPS products, cameras etc etc.

Using the 3400mAh portable charger you also have the ability to get a full complete charge out of a number of product(s).

Plus you do have a seperate USB mains/car charger to boot and all for a few pennies under £30.
