I don't get what's new, fred. Li-ion batteries, aren't they?

I recently bought a device that is in some ways just a battery but has
around ten times the capacity (13000 mAh) for not much more than double
the price.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CTK6SLE

But it has USB output and is not device-specific. That allows me to
charge phones, cameras, iPads, etc. Anything that charges from USB.
Actually, almost any two things. (For example, won't charge two iPads at
once.)

So you reckon the Lion part is just marketing speak?

No, just someone who doesn't understand what the actual term really means
(which is likely to be most people - in the sense of almost 100% rather than
more than 50%)

Those things are pretty good - I've got a 5000 mAh one, and it charged
my iphone twice from flat.

i-Lion seems to be the brand name. Couldn't be confusing could it?
