It does seem strange, I never got an instruction leaflet with my test unit so had to suck it and see.

I tried it out last night to make sure that it did work as I thought, the battery has sat on my desk unused for a few weeks or more but it still had three bars of charge left so I was pleased with that! The torch works at all times (press and hold the button) even when the battery is charging a device, or if being charged itself.

I would get Clove to swap it out for you, they will be fine about it.

Had the replacement iWalk for a couple of days & this one is behaving nicely. Multiple device charges from single iWalk charge without the iWalk locking off like the previous one.

Thanks for your feedback!

Oh good, I'm pleased you are happy now.

Great, another choice!

I currently use a New Trent 5K mAh but yours looks smaller, more stylish, and holds more charge.

I've only been able to get ~8 hours of power out of the New Trent with the Touch Pro (and that horrible GPSone constantly on running Navizon), but the U2o looks like it holds up better. Has a better name too.

Thanks!

The 5400mAh battery hasn't let me down yet, and I plan to use it again on my newer R1.

Oh dear... more problems with the replacement iWalk.

The 2nd unit, promptly supplied by Clove, worked for a few days & now I can't get it to consistently charge the phone for more than a few minutes before cutting out. Occasionally it does but it takes several re-plugs before staying on charge, & this has not been for a full recharge!

The replacement is heading back to Clove for investigation.

I have tried alternative USB cables & also tried it on a colleague's HD2... I've had no problems at all charging directly from a PC USB port or using the mains USB charger supplied, or even a universal mains or car charger with micro-USB adapter.

I think you must just have been unlucky, I have had my iWalk for quite some time now and it still performs as it did when I first received it. Surely it must be third time lucky.

Hehehe, unlucky is when 1 goes wrong! When 2 go wrong that's just stupid for what is little more than a battery!!

I am going to ask for a refund this time... any suggestions for alternatives?

I also have one of these it's 3600mAh, and doesn't cut out once a device is charged so is on continuously giving out the charge that is needed, and very small and compact too.

I've been 'unlucky' as well with what appears to be a dodgy cell in my 13,600mAH version of the device. It gets down to about half charge then dies completely till its recharged.
