  Battery charger with keyboard? so its not a keyboard with battery charger? the primary usage for this device is meant to be a charger for batteries?

  My mind is exploding with the possibilities lol

  The rep has failed to explain it properly. Apparently it's a keyboard that also contains a big battery to recharge iPods, etc, away from any AC power. Don't think I wanna spend > $100 on this.

  Bit confused as to the capacity.
  It's a LiPo battery, which is ordinarily 3.7V. The specs on it say output: 9v.
  So is this battery 3.7Vx10,000mah = 37Wh? or 9Vx10,000mah = 90Wh?
  If it's the latter, that's a pretty good deal. If the former, not so much.
  Finally, if it outputs at 9v, why does it use a USB plug (which is ordinarily 5v?)
  Confused

    I'm guessing the USB plug charges the battery from the computer. Obviously some voltage step up is happening when it feeds the iPod. I would guess your pessimistic calculation is more likely.

    lol, It's a Battery that comes with a built-in Keyboard… and it's the power rating that has you confused.

    What I can't figure out is, WHY you would buy this?

      So you can recharge your ipad while you use it with the keyboard.
      The battery isn't a new concept at all, adding a keyboard to it was the smart part.

      Energizer has an 18,000mAh keyboardless version:

      If you ever go on a long-haul flight with long stopovers in airports, you'll recognize the convenience of something like that.

        I use my portable battery pack for my laptop for when i fly to USA, its great, just wish the USB out would also charge my iPhone (but it wouldn't charge my HTC 8525 either), all i used the USB for was a USB light.

      This idea isn't new, the ASUS EEEpad transformer and the Acer Iconia tab also have keyboard docks that include batteries which extend overall capacity. This is a Chinese rip off made for the iPad.

    No battery, but I'm betting LTS will have it MUCH cheaper than what this is going for.

      But that device is useful as stand, bt keyboard, and protective case. Also it's designed to fit, and looks appealing. Overall a nice accessory.

      ASUS actually took that idea and brew up a storm that we know as the Transformer
