geardiary_callpod_fueltank_duo-8

I posted its review yesterday, and today I’ve got two Callpod Fueltank DUOs to share. How can you get yours? Read on…

All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which devices you use everyday, and how long your battery usually lasts.

I’ll pick two random winners on Sunday night.

Prize packages will include a Callpod Fueltank DUO in original packaging ($69.95 value) including the base unit, an AC/DC wall plug, a miniUSB adapter, a carrying pouch, and a voucher good for one free adapter of your choice (a $9.95 value redeemable at Callpod.com). I’ll also include an extra adapter cable if I have one that matches one of your devices.

This giveaway is open to the US only, and we’ll accept entries until midnight CT Sunday, November 22nd; I’ll post the winner shortly after.

Good luck!

I like exploring new tech; I don't like trying to decipher jargon, nor do I like being talked down to. I figure that you probably feel the same, and that's why you're here. Welcome! =)

    My iPhone and external GPS. My iPhone is charged daily (anywhere from a full day’s worth of usage to about 4 or 5 hours on the weekends when I’m reading) My GPS is around 1 to 2 hours (it’s older), only charged on days before I geocache!

  • addictarts

    I use an iPhone all day everyday and the battery usually lasts until bedtime. It definitely needs charging daily.

  • wyattgp

    I use an iphone 3g. I start work at 8am and the battery is dead by 3:30pm. Thank you for this contest and the opportunity to win a great device to boost my iphone use and make me a bit more productive.

    This would be hugely useful. My main devices at the moment are an iPod Touch and candy bar style slider dumbphone. iPod goes to 50% battery daily and the phone can last two days with an hour’s talk use per day before I like to top it off again.

  • raleigh1208

    Looks great. My two devices are a Moto Q phone, which generally lasts about a day, and my new Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 phone, which also lasts about a day.

    I use an ATT Tilt. The battery generally lasts about a day, depending upon how heavy I use it. I also have a couple other devices that could benefit from added battery juice.

    I use my iPhone 3G S everyday and it usually lasts all day for me, except when I forget and skip charges.

  • jamesl23

    I use my iphone 3gs everyday and i usually get 5-8 hours pending on how much i use the phone

  • arebelspy

    HTC Tytan II (Sprint Mogul), lasts about 5-6 hrs.

  • andrew_lee

    A Zune 30 and a Kindle 2. The Zune 30 typically goes around 8 hours, and the Kindle 2 runs for about a week. In both cases, it depends a lot on what I do with them.

  • jshelamer

    I use a T-Mobile G1 and iPod Touch daily. The iPod Touch can usually last through whatever I want to use it for, but the G1 often dies by late afternoon if I don’t charge it while I’m at my desk. I usually carry a spare battery for the G1.

  • melvynadam

    I use my Samsung Omnia every day and recently bought a second battery which I have to switch out on most days.

    This would be a godsend.

  • palmfox

    Iphone 3G. I travel a lot, and always run out of juice at the worst possible time…on the plane, or right after I have arrived and am trying to check voicemail. The Callpod would be a hugh benefit!

  • Heatwave316

    I use my Palm Centro and Zune 4 everyday. The Palm battery lasts maybe a day depending on how much I use it. I actually think it may be starting to lose its capacity to hold a full charge. The Zune usually lasts 3/4 days if I only use it on and off at work.

  • stevenshytle

    Gone back to college full time only to learn that cellphones were barely affordable and took a backpack then. The cell signal is still not much better. Curse the cinder block. A battery than can run two days last 4.5 hours there. A proud Mogul owner drooling over the Touch Pro 2.

  • licensedorchid

    I have an iPhone 3G, and work as a network engineer. I have literally run through my battery before noon more than once. That said, it usually lasts until about 4 pm, so about 9 hours. My girlfriend has a Blackberry 8130, and a Zune Originals 4 gig in red. The BB lasts DAYS, (I am a touch jealous) and the Zune lasts a very long time..

    I use my iPhone and blueAnt stereo headphones every day.
    The iPhone if I am careful about which games and how long I play them will last all day. the headphones usually last 1-2 days
    But this morning I was catching up on my shows on the iPhone and it died w/ 5 minutes left. I had to ride the last 15 minutes of my commute with no electronic device to play with. It was a sad sad day.

  • GadgetBoi

    My most used devices are an iPhone3G, JawboneII BT headset and a Dell Mini9 net book. Have to charge these device every .5-2days. With Wifi now available on flights, I can really burn thru the battery life. A “FuelTank” would really help.

  • JDTagish

    My iPhone 3GS that is rarely more than 4 inches from my hand. I keep chargers on my desk, car and nightstand otherwise I don’t think the battery would make it through the day!

  • majorhavoc

    I use a Palm Pre which lasts less than a day. …this is a major problem. I also use an iTouch! The battery usually lasts until I’m about half way through my gym workout! Argh!

  • taulya

    I-C502 battery lasts about a day and half

  • qwerty58

    I use the LG Dare (micro USB) and an iTouch. The Dare can barely last 5 hours because of continuous data usage and calls. My iTouch gets only about 4.5 hours because of Wi-Fi usage. I’m sure this battery would really help out.

  • runningman

    My iPhone 3GS last between 6 and 12 hours depending upon dat usage-much heavier on weekends. My Nokia E-71 on the otherhand lasts two full days, even with data usage, unless I am tethering. Backup power is ALWAYS welcome!

  • ChessieCat

    My Samsung u520 cell phone lasts about 4 days and my Palm m500 lasts about 5 days.

  • mikeinsf

    I have a Motorola Droid that I use liberally throughout the day. A charge lasts maybe 20 hours with my typical usage. I use it in the car as my nav and stereo head unit, jacking the audio out into the aux in on my car stereo system. I don’t use the location-aware social apps really. I do alot of SMS, some MMS, a little photo snapping, and some phone usage. Also a fair amount of browsing. Just figured out how to encode movies properly for use on the phone, so looking fwd to it being my media device on a trip I’m starting tomorrow morning. The Fueltank Duo would be incredibly handy for the 7-hour plane ride. The battery’s bound to kick out after a few hours of constant video use.
