[pct-l] iGO charger and Samsung Android

[James F. Miller]

I used an I Go charger on my Droid X that had a 15% charge.

After about 2 hours the light on the charger was out and the phone was near
75%. I figured the phone battery and the charger had balanced out.

I had two Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries in the charger. I hooked it
up again today to the phone when it was very low on charge and the I Go
(with the same batteries) ran for 10 minutes and that was that!

I got roughly a days use charge from the $5 worth of batteries.

Disappointing to say the least
