My Hong Kong cousin gave me the [MiPow Power Tube 6600](http://www.mipow.com/product_detail.php?pid=2&lang=en) ([online store](http://store.mipow.com/sg/en/powert-tube-6600.html)) which is retailing for S$125. It boosts a battery capacity of 6,600mAh and is made from aluminum case with durable anodized colors.

The package includes charging tips for iPad/iPhone/iPod, Blackberry, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy, PSP, Nintendo DSL/DSi/3DS and Female USB.

The MiPow Power Tube design is similar to that of [Sanyo Eneloop Stick Booster KBC-D1BS](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2010/12/02/sanyo-eneloop-stick-booster-kbc-d1bs/) which my mom’s business friend got it for me from Japan.

According to [iPad 2 Wi-Fi Teardown](http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-2-Wi-Fi-Teardown/5071/1), iPad 2 battery has a capacity of 6,930mAh which means the MiPow Power Tube 6600 can almost fully charge the iPad 2 on a single charge.

On the other hand, based on [iPhone 4 Teardown](http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPhone-4-Teardown/3130/1), iPhone 4 has a battery capacity of 1,420mAh and hence the MiPow Power Tube 6600 can charge an iPhone 4 a total of 4.5 times on a single charge.
