MacAlly Powerlink8 review

Verdict:

It's not suitable for all models, but it can add significant amount of battery life.

Review Date: 20 Mar 2010

Price when reviewed: £22

Supplier: http://froogle.ibitstore.com

Reviewed By: Alan Lu

Our Rating 3 stars out of 5

MacAlly's Powerlink8 is a small, external battery pack for iPhones and iPods. It connects to the dock connector found on all iPhones and all modern iPods apart from the Shuffle.

The Powerlink8's mini USB port is not only used for charging but can also be used as a pass-through port, connecting your Apple gadget to your computer - which means you don’t have to carry both this and the cable with you.

When tested with a fifth generation iPod, it added an extra 11 hours of battery life when playing music – an impressive boost. Unfortunately, the Powerlink8 is just large enough to foul the headphone port on models where it's next to the dock connector, namely the iPod Nanos and Touches, so it's not suitable for all models.
