Some feedback:

 

I'm experiencing problems with mine, so sent them the email below:

 

"I bought 2 of the cables last week that enables me to use the cycle light batteries to charge cellphones. My plan is to use it with a battery from an extreme 1200 light as my light broke and the battery is now a spare.

 

I ensured that the battery is fully charged and then used it to charge my iPhone 5 successfully twice. Once from about 20% and once from about 30%. It charged quickly and works well.

 

Today I wanted to charge the phone after work, but it didn't want to charge. I though the battery was flat, even if it only charged twice. I tested the battery with the light from another extreme 1200 light and it works well, hi, low and flash modes. When plugged into the charger, the green and not red light on the charger stays on. This makes me believe e battery still has a charge. To make sure nothing is wrong with the new cable I bought, I tried the other cable I bought. Still doesn't charge.

 

So is it a case of the battery having enough power to indicate to the charger that it is green and to power the lights, but not enough to charge a phone ? Or what am I missing?"

 

After a couple of emails, they called me today to discuss the matter. Their advice is that I must have iOS8 else it won't charge. Weird.

 

Came home with a flat phone, plugged into a fully charged battery. It started charging until I had to take a call at about 85% charge. Refused to start charging after that. Tried the 2 other batteries with the same and another phone. No luck.

 

So my best performance yet it 2 partial charges.

Mine also didn't want to charge an iPhone. I then noticed that when I unplugged the Apple cable and plugged it back in again it would charge for some reason. What worked every time was:

- connect adapter to battery

- plug Apple cable into adapter

- plug Apple cable into phone

- unplug Apple cable from adapter then plug it back in

- unplug Apple cable from phone then plug it back in

It started charging each time after these steps until the phone was fully charged.

Weird but worked.

Very weird, but I'll give it a try! Will have to make a screenshot of your post to remember it :-)
