Imp500 Iphone Battery Pack Makes A Hit In The Us Market
The Proof of the Pudding…IMP500 makes a hit in the US market
All the marketing efforts in the world can never be a lasting substitute for a good product and service. Of course, good products need exposure, how else will people know about it? But the proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating. And the proof of any marketing claim is in the using.
The people behind IMaxPower’s IMP500 lithium ion polymer (LIP) battery extender for IPhone take pride in the quality of the product as well as its after-sales service. The Newtrent Battery Pack IMP500 has a capacity of 5000mAh at 5V of power, which is on average 400% the capacity of standard batteries. This LIP battery cell weighs only 1
1000
30g and is slightly smaller than an IPhone. There are lots of IPhone battery extender products out there; you just need to punch in “IPhone battery extender” on your favorite search engine and you come up with millions of hits. So what does a normal consumer do to maximize the purchasing power of his hard-earned dollar? Why, he looks for reviews. The thing is, are they true?
Anyone who is in the least Internet savvy knows that you have to be careful about what you believe. Everyone from the mischievous to the downright dishonest makes use of the World Wide Web to get the job done, so the real nuggets of truth sometimes gets lost in the babble. With some effort, the following reviews for IMP500 passed muster in terms of credibility of the reviewer (they have a history of reviewing other unrelated items) and the ring of truth in the review.
D. Weichert wrote in July 1, 2009 that the IMP500 was a “Great product, but FABULOUS service.” This is with reference to the “personal touch” with which IMaxPower responded to his issues.
James Orrahood of Henderson, Kentucky, however focused more on the product. He stated that “I purchased the IMP500 and I couldn’t be happier” but urged that “american [sic] companies need to take note of this product and come out with an even better product” alluding to the fact that the IMP500 is the brainchild of a reputable foreign manufacturer, although the distributing company is a US company. He muted his phrase by making a request that the already compact IMP500 become “thinner, smaller and that could hold the iphone and headset all in one attractive, protective case.”
Amazon buyer RedDev11 gives the product unstinting praise as he compares it to other brands “right off the bat, simply because of the strength of this piece.” He likes the way that the IMP500 “charges just about everything you can think of” and had even tried successfully to charge several gadgets at one time using a USB hub. His comment that “The only negative I can think of about this product, is that it only comes with an adapter for my iphone…and doesn’t come with an ac plug” means he did not purchase the item direct from the IMaxPower website, which includes the AC adaptor free. Nevertheless he “rate(s) the imax 11 stars.”
Other reviews say pretty much the same things, and while most users are from the US, Australian users have nothing but high praise for the versatile IMP500. Good quality, after all, knows no nationality.
The IMP500 is a product of Newtrent, the world’s leading manufacturer of the LIP battery pack that provides extended battery life for many of the more popular mobile electronic devices, including all models of the IPhone, IPod, Nintendo DS, Kindle and Blackberry smartphones. Newtrent also provides the batteries for many models of HP and Dell laptop computers.

Running out of patience dealing with a battery that is half working, half not? Ever tired of your battery defaulting on you at the moment you need it most? Then it suddenly works when you have no need for it whatsoever? There are two answers to your nagging battery problem: you either get your car keys, drive to the nearest shop you can find, buy a new one and all is well in an instant; or you can desulfate a battery or fix the battery yourself if it is broken. Both options require you to spend money, yes. But the questions to consider are: How much are you supposed to spend for either choice and for how long will you wait?
True. Buying a new battery can solve your problem in jiffy. But considering how much batteries cost these days, is buying still a practical option? On the contrary, if you desulfate a battery o repair the battery pack yourself, it can cost you only half or even lower than half of what you are supposed to pay for new ones but for an opportunity cost of your time.
For example, an authentic Bosch battery pack cost $60 – $70. Reconditioning the batter does not cost anything when you have the equipment, but if you have to fix the insides of the battery, it should cost you somewhere around a third of the price. The following is the procedure of how to repair a Bosch battery pack. You can only recondition a battery pack that’s functioning, so if there is a problem with the battery you might want to try repairing it.
1. Assess the battery’s condition. Make sure the battery pack is the problem. Take the battery pack out and examine the voltage across + and – sides using a voltmeter. There should be a total of 9 volts for this pack considering it has 8 cells with a 1.2 voltage each (for NiCad batteries). The minimum charge should only be 8 volts. If it is way below this, then buy a new one instead.
2. Gather the following:
• At most 2 hours of your time
• A set of 8 cells of Sub-C type
• A craft knife
• Long-nosed pliers
• A working soldering iron
• Plastic Glue
3. Carefully open the pack – its plastic case – with the craft knife.
4. Take the pack out carefully. Do not break the thermistor – a device taped on the cell and linked to the third terminal. Take note of the battery’s divisions.
5. Check on each cell and note only those that have malfunctioned. This way you only need to replace the damaged ones and not the whole thing. At times, the cells may do well but the connection is broken. So check thoroughly.
6. With the long-nosed pliers, carefully detach the interconnected metal strips.
7. To rebuild the pack, use the soldering iron and solder the detached metal strips to the new cells.
8. Examine the voltage at both ends again. If the pack shows a nominal charge, then set up the pack in the plastic case.
9. Verify again the charge. If the charge is at its desired figure, put it back together by gluing it.
10. Recharge the pack.
11. To examine the effectiveness of the repair, give it a run.
This is just an example of how to repair a battery pack. For specific types of battery, you can look up in the internet for more references. The process is quite easy to do. All you need is a good set of instructions and materials, and you are good to go. On top of it all, it is way cheaper than buying a new one! That being said, would you now rather buy or do desulfating and the fixing yourself?
