Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle Kit for Use With BlackBerry Tour 9630 - Black

Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle Kit for Use With BlackBerry Tour 9630 - BlackThese are fantastic products, while they last. I've now had six of these for my BlackBerry Tour 9630 and Bold 9650 over the past year. I keep one at work, and one at home. For four to five months, they work perfectly, pairing nicely with the Seidio Innocase I use to protect my device. But then, one day, they just stop charging the device. The green light glows on the back and the charger cable works when plugged in directly to the BlackBerry. But the cradle contacts seem to no longer "touch" the BlackBerry contacts properly, and then this otherwise-excellent charging cradle is toast, and it's time to order another one. NOTE TO SEIDIO -time for some quality control at the factory in China where these are made for you?

I use a Seidio Innocase 360 case on my Tour so the OEM "charging pod" won't work for me.

The beauty about this Seidio charging cradle is that it works either WITH or WITHOUT my case on.

I bought 2 of them (one for home and one for the office) and I can simply drop the phone into the cradle to charge it. No wear-and-tear on the USB connector. It also holds the phone at a nice angle for viewing while it charges.

It also has a nice rubberized texture, just like the Seidio cases.

Overall, a great product for a reasonable price.

Also, see my video review of the Seidio Innocase 360 for BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Black) ... this charger makes a guest appearance in the video.

This is the letter I sent Seidio in response to my experience with their products:

DEAR SEIDIO:

Unfortunately, I am sorry to inform you that you have lost a once-enthusiastic customer. I have been a loyal customer of Seidio ever since purchasing my first smartphone a year ago. I have bought holsters, replacement batteries, docks, travel kits. I have raved about the products and referred my friends. Unfortunately, the quality of the merchandise is horrible. I purchased two docks for my phone, and they have consistently failed to function within a few months. I comforted myself with the knowledge the inevitable failure within 6 months would at least be greeted with a willingness on the part of Seidio to exchange the defective merchandise, but apparently that does not apply to replacement merchandise. Therefore when the replacement fails, which it certainly does, Seidio only gives me the "option" to purchase a new one, despite my experience that the item will most certainly fail in a few months.

I should have realized that a 6 month warranty, rather than the standard industry 1-year warranty for technological merchandise, was a warning sign that these products would fall into the "junk" category, but I was hopeful. A warranty should be a safeguard to the consumer's money, to encourage the consumer to be confident in his purchase, and to help establish a loyal consumer base for the manufacturer. If it is however a clear indication that the product will most certainly last no longer than a 6 month time frame, this neither inspires consumer confidence nor does it create a good name for the manufacturer, which would in turn lead to a a loyal base of consumer support.

Please note that I will, with the same enthusiasm that I once lauded Seidio products, make sure that as few others as possible make the same mistake I did in trusting Seidio products. Besides word of mouth, I will make sure to post my experience on all online review sites.

Regretfully, a former customer,

The Seidio cases are GREAT. I bought them for my Blackberry and my Android cell phone and love them. The belt clip holsters are also very nice. Very thin and very sturdy. The charging base for the Blackberry is also great at night I can drop the Blackberry in the charger and don't have to take it out of the case.

Love the design and works very well. I have the extended battery and Seido case on my Tour and it fits perfectly in this charging cradle (sits lightly and easily in the cradle).

Highly recommended if you're looking for a quality desktop charging option for your Berry.

SOLAR BA1 Digital Voltmeter

SOLAR BA1 Digital VoltmeterNo instructions of any kind. Not even a small piece of paper. Don't know if it works or not. Do you turn it on? How do you use it??

This product is very similar to one I owned many years ago. I gave the old one to my daughter to use with her RV. I've missed having one and was pleased when Amazon had one available that was similar in design. I've just used it a limited number of times, but it appears to work just as well as my old one, and offered at a very reasonable price.

Buy SOLAR BA1 Digital Voltmeter Now

This is a must have for anyone who owns a car.

This is a simple tool.

Easy to use for anyone.

Quick... It is fast and simple.

Check out your entire charging system.

All 12 volt batteries have 12.6 Volts

If you have any less than 12.6 volts your battery needs charging.

Check that battery charger you use to charge it too!

In two seconds you will see how much your charger, or Charging system is charging the battery.

A good Charging system should be putting out 13.8 to 14.2 volts.

Your battery charger will put out more on high, so don't let the battery get too warm. I like charging my batteries on low.

Just a word to the wise...

The average life of any battery is 3 years.

As soon as you see the white corrosion on the battery cable, you battery is on its way out. Oh sure you can milk it along for a year or two, maybe.

But... you are ruining your alternator and battery cables and when that bad boy starts to crank slow you are ruining the starter.

How much do you think a positive battery cable costs on a new car?

Some are well over 200.00 from the dealer plus labor.

These are just my thoughts after 30 years in the automotive business...

Oh yes, keep those battery cable connections clean too. That means wire brush the post and inside the cable mount.

I love this tool.

GTMax Black USB Car Charger for HTC Droid Incredible

GTMax Black USB Car Charger for HTC Droid IncredibleUsually before I buy something, I check out the reviews on a product I'm unfamiliar with.The 4 and 5 star reviews for this charger made me a take a gamble on buying it, it was cheap and seemed to work. Not only does it not charge my phone at all,it freezes the screen on my Incredible and every time I plug it in the red light flickers as if the product is turning off and on.It just doesn't work.

I had to return the two that I bought. They didn't charge my phone at all (isn't that what they're supposed to do?). I got an incompatibility message on my phones (HTC Incredibles) whenever I used them. They should be paying you to take them off their hands.

Car Dashboard Video Camera Cam Accident DVR Full Hd Resolution , 2.0" Ltps TFT LCD Display

Car Dashboard Video Camera Cam Accident DVR Full Hd Resolution , 2.0' Ltps TFT LCD DisplayUnit turned off after 5 seconds. Internal battery would not charge. Manual impossible to understand. Ended up getting a Vacron for $300. After looking at other dashboard cameras, it appears that you won't get anything reliable until you get into the $300 range. The $29-$59 dashboard cameras all appear to be junk. Some people apparently get them working, but the vast number of bad reviews on most of them should have been a warning.

Suggest getting dashboard cameras that record in H.264 rather than AVI. AVI is "freeware" whereas for H.264, the manufacturer had to pay for that software which suggests that the rest of the system is equally high quality. If you don't really need a dashboard camera, any of them will work, but if you really want one you can depend on, you'll have to step up...

Just got it today. So far its working great. It took a little to learn the functions, nothing difficult. At the 640 setting the picture is clear, can read plate numbers. So far I'm impressed. I'm using a 2gig card, and am recording a total of 16 min in loop mode. I've ordered a larger card. So far I'm very happy, I will update after more testing. Thus far I would give the pic a 8, the sound a 6, and the mount a 5. At this point I would recomend this to a friend.

Cobra CPI1575 1500W Power Inverter

  • Converts battery power to 120 V AC household power
  • Three AC receptacles
  • Voltage and power meter
  • Automatic thermal shutdown and reverse polarity protection
  • Low battery alarm and shutdown

This unit is great. I previously acquired cobras 400watt lil brother to this one, and I'm very impressed with both. Solid construction for my use, and power where it counts. This unit is primarily for my 4.4 cu back-up fridge, and periodic power tool jobs. I definitly want a second mounted next to it soon.

Buy Cobra CPI1575 1500W Power Inverter Now

This inverter is great for any outages. It produces enough watts to run a large fridge and 3 100 watt bulbs which is basically all you need during an outage. Or you can power all rooms in the house with lights and leave the fridge out since it will stay for @ least 24 hrs winter months and 18 hours summer months. Great product, would recommend this product.

Design Bluetooth Bracelet Vibrating-Caller with LCD ID Alert Vibration Wristwatch Watch Digital time

Design Bluetooth Bracelet Vibrating-Caller with LCD ID Alert Vibration Wristwatch Watch Digital timeits too small for a man's wrist, they do not have a bigger size it is for my understanding only for women

It doesn't work. Period. It didn't appear to take a charge and therefor was useless.

And even if it did work, the hard plastic bracelet is not adjustable and is too small

for my wrist. I thought it might expand to fit with use, but since it's useless, I don't

know if that would happen. I'm sending it back as soon as I can get to it.

The charge cable is USB on one end with a spring loaded clip on the other end (comes with USB wall adapter too). The clip has two small prongs that connect to the back of the bracelet. I bought this for my girlfriend, but we've had some trouble getting the clip to charge the battery and keep it charging.

XM XPMP3H1 Portable Satellite Radio and MP3 Player (XMp3i)

XM XPMP3H1 Portable Satellite Radio and MP3 Player
  • Pause and replay up to 30 minutes of XM programming
  • Record songs while you listen, or schedule recordings of your favorite shows
  • TuneSelect and GameSelect find your favorite artists or sports events on any XM channel
  • Upload and manage MP3/WMA files with the included XM2go Music Manager software
  • 2 GB on-board memory, expandable via the microSD card slot

Anybody who is reading these reviews for the purpose of buying this product should be aware that a portable satellite radio is not based on the same technology as a Walkman-type radio sold back in 1980s. Satellite radios work by line-of-sight, which requires an unobstructed path between the receiver and its signal source. When properly installed and used, the XMp3i works great for recording and listening to live XM/Sirius broadcasts. However, you must ensure the unit is receiving a strong signal to make it work. If you plan on using it mostly in an automobile (with a live signal), that means purchasing an additional car cradle/antenna. If you wish to use it mostly indoors, you'll need to install the included home dock/antenna properly.

I've had a good experience with the Xmp3i so far. In fact, I was able to listen to live XM/Sirius radio while biking over the weekend with very little interruption. I also used the home dock to record some of my favorite shows for playback later. I believe it is the ability to record programming which is this unit's strong suit. You can record up to five channels at the same time, so getting vast amounts of music/talk on to the device in a timely fashion is easy; provided you have correctly installed the home dock. The playback is flawless and is much more convenient than listening live since you can skip songs, commercials, etc.

The interface seems a little sluggish at times and is not the most intuitive, but it works. Thanks to the microSD slot, you can load up your MP3 library and play your own tunes as well. I was impressed by the overall sound quality from both the satellite feeds and my MP3 files.

The Xmp3i is best-suited for users who will pre-record their music/shows to bring along in the car for playback. It also works well as a standalone device for plugging into your home stereo system. Do not buy this if you want to listen to live XM/Sirius broadcasts when you take the subway to work, or while you're hanging out in mom's basement waiting for some laundry to dry. Though it has a built-in antenna for live reception, the manufacturer clearly intended that to be used in outdoor-only situations.

This is a great little radio. Reception is great. I love the recording of XM stations feature. BUT, as of this writing, the enclosed software DOES NOT work win WIN 7. So if you have WIN 7, you will not be able to copy mp3 recordings on this unit. Why they (XM) have not fixed this is beyond me. I called XM about this, and they are useless. Cutomer Service immediatly claims no responsibility whatsoever. They tell me to call Microsoft! Unbelievable. WIN 7 has been out for almost a year now. Come on guys!

Read Best Reviews of XM XPMP3H1 Portable Satellite Radio and MP3 Player (XMp3i) Here

My XpressRC screen went out, and I needed a replacement. While I tried every way under the sun to find a current radio not made my Audiovox, I couldnt, so decided to try this one, since I dont own an MP3 player, I figured it would be a nice backup when I wanted to listen to something different.

First, this is a satellite receiver. Anyone that expects a satellite receiver to work 100% like an FM radio, doesnt understand the concept. While more forgiving than DirecTv or Dish, you really need to be able to see one of the two satellite locations for uninterrupted reception. Im not going to fault the radio because it blanks out inside a house. It needs an outside (or south window) mounted antenna (included) unless you happen to live where there is a terrestrial repeater (I do).

The radio needed two firmware updates when received. They took about 15 minutes. Added several features and fixed several bugs.

XM audio quality on the included ear buds is good. Much better than I expected.

Sound quality through the powerconnect FM transmitter in my work truck is much better than the previous clip on your FM antenna device. No issues at all in driving around out in the country out of repeater range. Usual dropouts going through tunnels, or under gas station awnings I had with the XpressRC.

The MP3 section is great. Audio quality is excellent. Needs a MicroSD card to store more than 7-10 albums at 256K rate.

Havent tried the song or station recording feature yet. 30 Minute buffer works fine.

Easy to navigate. Now if the screen doesnt burn out like my XpressRC did, Ill be very happy with this receiver. I do plan to try to buy an extended warranty for it though.

It claims 4 hours for XM live, and 16 hours for MP3's. Ive been playing MP3s for 6 hours and the battery indicator hasnt moved yet.

The documentation claims you shouldn't have the radio in an environment over 95 degrees as it will limit the lifetime of the battery. Its 5 degrees warmer than that here in the shade, so I figure 120+ in the truck when its parked.

Might need to keep a spare battery in the fridge :)

If the product holds up to daily use, Ill be a happy camper.

EDIT TO ADD: 02/08/2012 Have had the radio running almost 2 years now. Works perfectly. The powerconnect to the vehicle electrical system gives interference free reception. Recording works great, and Ive built up quite a library, as well as put all my mp3s on a SD card. No issues with the radio at all after almost 2 years. Pops out to bring home on weekends, and plugs into the home cradle with an outdoor mounted antenna, although Ive stopped doing that and just use their internet service at home now. Good radio. Highly recommend.

I just purchased this product and was pleasantly surprised by its features, small size, and sound quality. It activated quickly and worked very well with good reception hand-held outside as well as indoors with the accessory antenna (included) in a window. Unfortunately, it is now fairly useless because I made the mistake of upgrading the firmware from v1.29x to v1.31x. This upgrade inactivates the control wheel of the device which means you can't use it -you can't selected items like channels, categories, set-up option, etc. The warrantee says the product should not be returned to the retailer from whom you purchased it (Amazon) -but should contact XM radio. XM radio technical support said they can't help, I should contact Audiovox. Audiovox said to leave an email on their website. I'm waiting for a response. Searching the web, others have had this same problem. I'll wait and see if any fix comes along soon, otherwise I'll return to Amazon. Glad I bought it here. I'll update this when and if I get more info.

Update: Spoke with XM again today. Even though the packaging that came with the unit has an insert that says in capital letters: If you experience problems DO NOT RETURN THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR RETAILER but instead call XM Radio. The XM technician says they now have a solution -"Please return your unit to Amazon, buy another unit, and don't upgrade the firmware." Clearly that will work, but I think I'll wait until I hear back from Audiovox.

Final update: Audiovox's response was:"We don't provide customer or technical support for our XM radios; you must go through XM." So, I used Amazon's wonderful replacement service and was sent a new radio by overnight FedEx with Saturday delivery, printed out the return slip and sent the old one back. The new radio works just as well as the original but with a working control wheel. I love it. Downsides: every time I open XM2GO software to manage books and MP3s on the unit, it tells me my firmware is out of date -but I'm sure not going to update the firmware again. This unit is currently running firmware version 1.29x. If a firmware version appears that is higher than 1.31x, I might consider trying it, although I'd do so with some trepidation. I'm going to change my rating to four stars if Amazon will let me.

Final, final update: Thanks to a comment received to this review (feel free to read), I have now upgraded my new unit to firmware version 1.31x and after following the commenter's advice to remove the battery and wait a while -it works and works just great. Hope this helps others.

Works great as long as you are standing in the middle of an open field and holding the radio over your head. If you live in a big city, XM does appear have the Clear Channel Repeater System backing up their satellite signal. I am guess that is where the good reviews are coming from. I live in a rural area. Took it to the ball park (no trees) for a morning jog. I could only get a signal while jogging in certain directions. It does work OK at the house hooked to the home dock with the external antenna but that is not why I bought a portable radio.I am boxing it up now to return.

VCAN Blinc 136 Full Face Helmet with Crusader Graphics (Gloss Black, Large)

VCAN Blinc 136 Full Face Helmet with Crusader GraphicsI bought the helmet as I was looking for bluetooth so I can talk while riding. I am going to break up this review into 3 parts. 1. The bluetooth feature 2. The style of the helmet 3. The sound level First the bluetooth feature. The bluetooth feature works as long as you are not moving. I have a quiet motorcycle and you can't even hear the person you are talking to on the other end. Even with the volume up all the way it is too quiet. I am very disappointed in that I was looking forward to it. I have already returned the helmet waiting for refund. If you don't mind a bluetooth helmet where you can talk while standing still then the bluetooth helmet here will work for you fine. But you will not be able to ride and talk at the same time. Now let's move onto the style and appearance. I would rate the looks of the helmet a strong 5 as it is awesome looking. Now lets move onto the sound level. The sound level is too loud for a bluetooth helmet. People say you can hear the wind and this is unacceptable and it's even a blue tooth helmet. You think they would make the helmet quiet. Here is my honest review and final statement. If you don't mind a helmet that only works when stopped and not moving you will love this helmet and its perfect for that. If however you want to talk to people while riding I would not order it.

That is the key. Make sure you are ok with stopping and talking to someone then it will be ok for you but when you think about it, if you can stop then why wouldn't you just use your cell phone and save the money on getting the helmet? See it doesn't make sense.

For the price, this helmet seems ok. It dosent have the liftable front face, which I have noticed is rather shakey on these models. Dosen't have the sun glasses, which I hear gets loose and drops out of the helmet at random times. Was dissapointed in the quality of the Bluetooth. I have tried others that was way nicer. You cant hear anything on the highway, not even music. The one speaker just isnt enough. You can hear it on regular streets however, and the battery will last just about all day with a full charge. The helmet if outfitted with a slot for another speaker, but the wires are hard wired in, so any tampering with the system to make it a two speaker system will void the warranty.

I bought this hoping for the best, mostly because it matched my bike. Everything is nice and secure setting up the Bluetooth isn't difficult at all just put the battery in and let it charge. I be used it for listening to the iPod while riding and sound quality is great. One thing I got a medium and it was a little smaller than I intended so if most mediums are snug on you this one might be a little bit tighter. But I got it worked in and it fits snug now. Over all great helmet

This helmet is OK for the low price. The fit is a little smaller than most for a large. The visor seal is questionable. In the photos it looks awesome but up close the low price quality stands out.

Want VCAN Blinc 136 Full Face Helmet with Crusader Graphics (Gloss Black, Large) Discount?

Like any other person I wanted to be able to listen to music while riding and answering my calls at the same time. This is a very nice helmet that can do both. It has lots of padding on all sides. The graphics are really nice. The helmet looks sturdy as well.

Coming down to the bluetooth functionality, it is very easy to set up. when you are riding within the city it is easy for you to listen to the person on the other side. when on a freeway riding at 70-80 mph it will be a little hard to hear everything, but you will be able to hear most of the conversation.

The microphone in the device is a little on the downside. I was talking to my wife and she told me that she could hear me clearly but the volume was too low. I tried increasing the microphone volume on my phone as it is in the pairing mode but then it didnt help a lot.

Also Amazon uses a 3rd party shipper called OnTrack for the delivery so, if you have a gated entry to your residence then they wont be able to enter the premises and leave the package outside your front door if you are not available. UPS, FedEx, USPS usually have the access to enter the building premises and leave the package outside the door. If you miss the delivery then they won't redeliver/or charge you for redelivery. you would have to go to their warehouse to pickup your package within 3 business days of delivery or else the package will be returned.

Overall I will rate this helmet a solid 8.5/10

Graphics: 10/10

bluetooth: 8/10 (due to the microphone volume issue.)

Other that this it is a great helmet for the price.

And yes to add to this make sure you take a size bigger than what you actually wear as this is on a smaller side. I usually wear an L but took an XL and it fits just about right.

This device is improperly titled. It is not compatible with GPS units for 2 main reasons:

Cons:

1. It has coiled wiring and for any GPS unit you need a long wire you can snake around the dash/motorcycle etc.

2. It is the wrong voltage. It will charge your GPS, but you won't be able to use it like you do if you had the original charger. For some reasons the Nuvi GPS units have a hardware or electrical failsafe that won't let you use them if you have the wrong charger so you'll be driving looking at an image of a PC as if you had it connected via USB to your computer. This is useless if you're intending to navigate.

Pros:

1. Cheap.

2. Can power up your cellphone if it's mini-usb compatible.

Conclusion:

You get what you pay for.

It's constant recording :( Thought there's motion detection but I was wrong. The biggest disappointment was with the night vision. In fact IR Led's are not strong at all. You can see image only up to 2" in front of the camera ! HD is photo only, video is VGA. Wasting of money. Regrets, regrets...

Retractable Car Charger For Sony Ericsson W580i

Retractable Car Charger For Sony Ericsson W580iI like it since it's retractable and easy to keep. The only that you need to be careful is retracting the cable since it's very thin otherwise it works great w/ my w580i. JF

Rubberized Retractable Car Charger for Motorola MOTO W755

Rubberized Retractable Car Charger for Motorola MOTO W755I bought this charger for my husband who is very happy with the charger. The retractable cord is great and is much better than the heavy, short coiled cord he had been using. It easily retracts when not in use, therefore preventing tangles and keeps things neat. I will be ordering one for myself as well.

I bought 2 Rubberized Retractable Car Chargers for my wife's Motorola MOTO W755 cell phone. The connector to the phone does not fit at all. Too small. However, I was able to use it for my LG enV2 VX9100 cell phone. The smaller flat connector fits well in this phone. That is why I rated this car charger 3 stars, since it was advertised for the wrong phone. The retractable feature works great. I wished that it had worked for my wife's phone. I have bought other car chargers for the MOTO W755 that either came broken in pieces [cheap], or did not fit like this one, or did not charge the Motorola battery.

We especially like the retractable cord and east portability. This one replaced a Christmas gift that wasn't compatible with the phone and we like t even more.

GTMax Rapid Retractable Car Charger with IC Chip for Sprint Blackberry Style 9670it worked good and charged fast. only problem was it shattered when the cord retracted to fast. so that wasn't good

I love the portability of this charger no more tangled cords in my purse the only problem I have is that while the phone is charging, it is difficult to talk on the phone @ the same time. When I received a phone call I had to lean forward or unplug to talk, the cord is short. But for the price & portability I can adjust, the phone gets charged.

Lenmar AC150 TraveLite Adapter - Ultra Compact All-in-One Travel Adapter

Lenmar AC150 TraveLite Adapter - Ultra Compact All-in-One Travel Adapter
  • Use your devices in over 150 countries with one adapter
  • Compact, lightweight design is perfect for travel
  • Compatible with any 100-240V AC powered device
  • Works in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America & South America, and South Pacific
  • 1 year warranty

Just came back from a trip to Central/Europe. The adapter works as advertised. I had no problems with it. Yes, all the outlets in Europe are the recessed type. However, regarding Amazon reviewers such as TravelGuru who posted a review, I'm not sure if I should fault the reviewer for not knowing how to operate the equipment or the manufacturer for not providing explicit instructions. The adapter prongs screw out, so there is no problem with recessed outlets. I would recommend this adapter.

This travel adapter worked pretty well while we were in Italy and France. The only complaint I have is that the plug portion is not very long. There were many outlets in Italy and France that were somewhat recessed, which meant that this adapter would not work because it got too big too close to the plug (or the plug was not long enough). If the outlet was flush with the wall, there were no issues. Luckly we had a few different adapters for these types of outlets. The size is great (small), compared to other adapters.

All of the outlets in Europe sit in a circular recessed hole. This adapter is too big and does not fit in any of the recessed outlets I have tried.

They need to redesign it to be smaller so it actually fits.

Jump-N-Carry JNC950 2000 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter

Jump-N-Carry JNC950 2000 Peak Amp 12V Jump StarterWe use this jump starter everyday usually several times a day to help guests at our commercial shopping center. It works much better than any other type of jump starter pack and what I like best about it is that you can replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. No need to buy another jump pack. It will definitely save money in the long run. Those cheap imitation jump packs can't stand up to repeated chargings and uses.

If you need a powerful jump starter with the capability to be an alternate power source for 12 VDC products this is it. It is a little large but If you want to run a portable cooler or similar device for nearly 8 hours at a shot this is the best with 32 amp hours of reserve power. We used it to power our cooler and keep our food cold and milk fresh when our car was parked and we were touring various sights on a 6000 mile 22 day adventure vacation. We would power the cooler from the car when we were driving but to avoid draining the car battery down when the car was parked we would use the Jump-N-Carry. At night in the hotel rooms we would recharge the Jump-N-Carry and power the cooler from AC. We paid for the price of the Jump Start with the left over restaurant food we saved in the cooler to eat later. This product will be with us for a long time for a supplemental 12 VDC supply and as an emergency jump start unit. The Jump-N-Carry is really great product.

I had decided to spring for this unit as opposed the "660" because of the few [but amazing] reviews I had read (particularly the ability to leave it plugged in and it won't overcharge). The 660 comes up as #1 in regards to user reviews here on amazon, but that simply because of the NUMBER of reviews. This JNC950 unit has equally good reviews, but only 10% of the reviewERS. Well, I decided to spend the extra for this unit. It jump started my 91 camaro from a complete cold and dead battery didn't have to hook directly to battery terminals either. It then started an old piece of crap camry several hours later. This thing was seam less both cars cranked as if their batteries were completely charged.

if you're looking at the 660, but want something even more hardcore buy this unit. It's worth it, it's not a toy (heavy as hell) and will jump start anything. no frills attached, no light, no nothing. just a jumpstarter.

I worked for a police department of about 125 sworn officers. Modern squad cars are full of electronic gadgets of one type or another some of which, when left on, slowly drain the batteries. A previous jump-starter purchases resulted in three poorly performing devices that turned out to be a waste of money.

I did a little research and found the JNC950. It has been very reliable and can stay plugged into a wall socket indfinitely without degrading, as do many of the other units. I can start 10-15 cars on one charge with this device.

I've been so impressed with the effectiveness of this jump starter that I went out and bought one for myself, to travel with.

Roadside Assistance programs use low-bid wrecker services. Those companies will always give higher priority to "full-pay" clients so when the really bad weather hits you will w a i t .

If you need an "emergency" jump start the JNC950 is far better insurance!

As a owner of a small car dealership, this has got to be one of the best investments that I have made. It is the absolute BEST Handheld Jump Box on the market. It will start any automobile plus with the cigarette lighter plug in. you can carry use it for other purposes. I love the automatic charge feature whereas, I plug it up when not in use and not worry about it over charging the jump box. It weighs probably 25-30 lbs; however, it is a lot easier to carry this than to roll around a portable jump starter. The value you receive is outstanding when compared to a cheaper jump box. You can not go wrong with this. Plus the Battery does come with it contrary to the rolling jump box where you have to buy the battery seprate.

Mini Battery Charger Kit for Canon NB-4L, NB-5L Battery - replaces Canon CB-2LV - CB-2LX with fold-

Mini Battery Charger Kit for Canon NB-4L, NB-5L Battery - replaces Canon CB-2LV - CB-2LX with fold-in wall plug, car & EU adaptersNice unit with a good quality feel. Much better quality than I expected; not the usual junk you would expect to find at this price.

I've used at 120Volts and and 12Volts in the car. Works perfectly in both conditions. It also comes with a Euro adaptor, which I will probably never use.

I couldn't be happier!

This was nice -not your usual inexpensive third-party piece of equipment. The module is sturdy, and comes with many extras like the car adapter and EU converter.

Product works just fine, in that it charges my batteries, which it is supposed to do. I'll be honest, I have not tried the car adapter, and what with not being in the EU, I have not tried that one either. The only thing is that the wall adapter goes from a totally normal orange-ish light to kind of freaking out and flickering frantically back and forth between green and orange once the battery is charged. But maybe that's just something about my battery. Anyway, that indicates it's charged, and it works fine, so it's all good. (I'd probably give it four and a half stars if I could, because the flickering's a little weird, but since it doesn't affect its functionality, I'll go with five.)

At first, the red light charging indicator did not work in my car even though battery was getting charged. I thought the problem was with the indicator. But when powered on wall socket, the red light appeared. Then after subsequent uses, it started working properly in the car too. Could have given 4.5 but now that I don't have any problems with it, I will give a 5.
