Interest in Fueltank Duo 4300mAh Charging Pack?

A colleague of mine may have a chance to get a bulk deal on some Fueltank Duo portable power bricks. So, I was just curious if anyone would be interested in using the Fueltank Duo for powering their projects if they could buy it for $25 (shipped to any US address).

Is anyone already using similar type power sources for their projects? I have a two small Energizer power bricks that are actually designed for making a digital picture frame portable, but I haven't put them in an actual project yet. I just use them for powering my PPDB.

    Wow! I just Googled - these retail for 69.95, Amazon will get one to your door for about $33. The reviews are pretty good. It looks like an interesting power source.

    I'd try a couple at $25 each.

    I really prefer being able to buy generic Li-ion 18650 batteries (Parallax's Backpack) and have even located battery holders for single and double battery packs. There always seems to be a premium involved in a completely packaged form factor.

    Thanks for the input guys. He is working out the details now on a quantity and additional shipping options. He may be able to have units drop-shipped to buyers directly from the distributor.
