Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger

Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery ChargerIn the analysis of buying a Tender Jr. vs. a Tender Plus, the main issues are time to full charge, battery size, & parasitic draw. The Tender Plus (1.25) will get the job done twice as fast as the Tender Jr. (0.75). Both now are similar architecturally, save it be the charging power & lack of temperature compensation on the Jr. They both are 4 stage, both have the same sophisticated computer chip technology running the charging process, etc... I spoke to The Deltran(The Manufacturer) customer service department on 3 different occasions, making sure I had the facts right. The first 2 times I was misinformed about the temperature compensation issue. I am editing this review to be accurate as of today's date of 12/01/10. Because The Plus will bring a battery to full charge twice as quickly as The Jr. will, The Plus has a much better chance at overcoming a parasitic draw on your batteries power. Modern cars have sophisticated electronics that require constant power 24/7. Check all your battery connections & your alternator belt!!! If the connections are not clean & tight, clean it with original coca-cola and a rag / brush, make sure they fit snugly. If your alternator belt is too loose it will not charge your battery properly. If you only want to buy one Tender, don't cheap out, buy The Plus if you have the money to do so. If you want to buy 2 or 3 Tenders to make sure all your batteries are fully charged, the Jr. will probably do just fine. I personally alternate The Jr. between 3 different cars, if I had it to do over again, I would buy The Plus instead as I am not a patient person. Both models will turn off in 72 hours automatically if a full charge is not reached, & neither will start charging without at least 3 volts stored in the battery before initiating a charge. If you left your lights on for 4 days like I did, get a jump, & drive your car around for 30 minutes before hooking up any Tender to charge your dead battery. Either of these 2 Battery Tenders are the best in the world, don't bother doing anymore research, I have done it all for you. Buy one or buy both!!! I bought The Plus model a few months ago also... These babies save you $$$, time & frustration!!! Get the 25 foot extension if you want to charge a car that sits in the driveway, it's only $12. You might also want to buy the Cigarette Lighter Apapter to charge cars that have the battery in the trunk, like the BMW E39 models.

I bought my first Battery Tender Jr. about 20 years ago (for an antique car that I drove infrequently) and it worked fine for over 15 years. I included it with that antique car when I sold it, and as far as I know, it still works.

Based on my prior experience, on November 4, 2010, I bought another Battery Tender Jr. from Amazon for another infrequently driven car. It is now less than 1 year later, and that Battery Tender Jr. got so hot that the plastic case buckled and separated at the seam. So, planning to return it under warranty, I read their terms. Not only do I have to pay to ship that defective unit back to Deltran (which I expected), they also charge a fee for "Warranty Evaluation, Shipping & Handling"! That is OUTRAGEOUS! Since I have my receipt, my fee would be only $7.95 (if no receipt, fee is $11.95). It would cost me $18.90 ($7.95 plus $10.95 USPS Flat Rate medium box) to return it (or $22.90 if I didn't have a receipt which is more than the $21.39 cost of a new one from Amazon delivered!) Why bother with a warranty claim? If that was Deltran's plan from the outset to discourage warranty claims their so-called "warranty" is a fraudulent misrepresentation.

No doubt that my first, 20-year old Battery Tender Jr. was made in the USA. Not so with the second one the label says "Made in China". A piece of Junk!

The battery Tender Jr. comes with 1 set of permanent mount ring terminals & 1 set of mini jumper cable clamps so you can hardwire 1 car & use the clamps whereever they are needed.The 1-way quick disconnect on the cord makes things very easy to hook up & unhook. And it is maintaining my battery fine, no more dead car.

Great Product. I needed a way to keep my minivan battery topped off during extended idle time because my electronic rust protection device was draining the battery. This product does the job beautifully! The only trouble that I ran into initially was that the charger would not start charging because my battery voltage had dropped below 3 volts (this is a safety feature built into the unit). Once I got the voltage up above 3 volts (by briefly attaching jumper cables to another vehicle), it charged just fine. It took a few hours initially, but now I keep the battery connected while the vehicle sits in the garage.

Wagan EL2201 Elite 400 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Wagan EL2201 Elite 400 Watt Pure Sine Wave InverterAfter much research, I bought the Wagan EL2201 because I was looking for a pure-sine-wave inverter in this size range and Wagan's other products seem to have a fantastic reputation.

There are lots of poor reviews on this one, and the problem seems to be the same: The unit starts up once, then immediately dies.

Problem: The cigarette lighter adapter comes with a fast-blow fuse. My unit did the same thing, and I found that the fuse (located inside the plug itself) had blown as soon as I plugged a very low-draw radio into the inverter. Inverters have lots of capacitors that need to charge then the unit powers up, creating a momentary large load that a slow-blow fuse can absorb, while a fast-blow cannot.

A 400-Watt inverter is pretty large to run on a cigarette lighter plug in the first place, and should definitely be run directly from the battery or hard-wired if you plan on using anything with a significant draw.

In fact, the instructions say NOT to use the cigarette lighter if you plan on running anything more than 150W.

Solution: Replace the fast-blow fuse included with the inverter with a slow-blow OR a larger fuse (do NOT exceed the rating of your vehicle's outlet!). This is a $0.50 fix and my inverter now works flawlessly!

I'm guessing that the poor reviews are from those who use the lighter adapter and have this problem, while the positives are those who either hard-wire or connect directly to battery.

Now my inverter works great, doesn't play havoc with ANYTHING (unlike my modified sine-wave inverters), and the price was right. The built-in USB is a nice touch too.

Bottom Line: Great inverter for the price if you don't mind replacing a fuse or hard-wiring. As mentioned before, an inverter this size probably should be hard-wired anyway.

I see some very negative reviews of this 400 watt inverter, but my wife and I have been very pleased. We live in a 100% solar home and have found the unit great for running our computer, printer, and powered computer speakers all at the same time. I have even run my Pioneer surround sound, DVD player, and 100watt powered sub-woofer at the same time. This use has been during the day, but there was certainly no shortage of power from the unit whenever the input voltage has been sufficient. One thing I need to mention is that I replaced the cord with the cigar lighter end on it with my own 2 foot long, 10 gauge wire with a three prong plug on it that plugs into our 12vdc in house recepticles. When I first bought the unit I had issues with low voltage signal too, but I do not believe the supplied cigar plug makes good enough contact to conduct the needed voltage. If you have the low voltage issue, try another type of plug or direct wire it. It is not unusual for this unit to be on 6 to 10 hours a day in our home and operates flawlessly. Yes, the cooling fan kicks on and off, but that is what it is supposed to do. I have also used it to charge various battery operated items drills, NiCad chargers, and the like, once again no problems. The ONLY reason I did not give it a five star rating is due to the issue with the cord. When you consider that most cigar lighter sockets are designed to handle 15 amps DC before blowing the on-board fuse (that's with the vehicle running), its easy to see why only the lightest of loads can be run using the supplied plug. Anything large use battery clips, direct wire or hardwire it into your system. Bought the unit about six months ago, should have done the review sooner.

If you draw more than about 5-10W the fan comes on and it's pretty noisy. Otherwise my unit works fine (I am not using the cigarette lighter plug).

Summary: If you're looking at this inverter, trust me and buy the Power Bright APS300-12 Pure Sine Power Inverter 300 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC instead! See why below --

Let me preface by saying that I had really high hopes for this inverter. What's not to love? Pure sine, 400 watts, USB port, yes please! My experience however, was far from pleasant. I was excited to test the (first) unit out after it arrived, as the inverter it was replacing, (180 watts) was not large enough to run the equipment I was trying to operate. I wanted to go with a pure sine unit as well because it would be powering electronics like audio gear or a TV. Well, I plugged it in only to find that the red light came on immediately. Bummer. I unplugged and plugged the unit back in and no change. I then decided to just give it a minute and tried the USB port to see if it would charge my phone. That at least worked. Shortly thereafter, the unit started smoking and emitting that ever-so-putrid burning electronics smell. DONE!

I let Amazon know and boxed it up to send back. Exchange was easy as pie and in a few days another (second) unit arrived. Excited to test the replacement out as I thought I may have just gotten a dud, I plugged it in and turned it on. No red light! Super! I then began to do some testing. I plugged in my laptop to the inverter and my touchpad immediately stopped working. Weird. So I did some more testing. I plugged in an audio amp and it worked but was very noisy on both the output and the sound the transformer was making on the amp itself. I plugged in a strand of LED Christmas lights and not all the lights would work. I plugged in my laptop again and noticed it would not charge. It would momentarily then stop then charge again and repeat. The transformer in the power supply was also making an abnormal buzzing sound. Through the course of more testing, I found that anything I plugged into the inverter that had a capacitive touch interface would stop working as soon as plugged it into the inverter (smartphone, touchpad, etc). I also found that the unit put out a large amounts of RF interference (AM radio distorted when inverter was on). Super weird. The fan was also running almost constantly even with a low load on the unit.

The RF issue has been commented on by others that have bought the Aims 180 pure sine inverter (which is as far as I can tell identical to the Wagan 180 watt pure sine version). So has the issue of blowing up, smoking, etc. Before I start to ramble, these units over promise and under deliver. I returned the second unit to Amazon after being so dissatisfied.

I ended up purchasing the Power Bright APS300-12 Pure Sine Power Inverter 300 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC. I could not be more satisfied with that unit. Way better built than the Wagan. Works as advertised. I was sold within minutes and will not hesitate to buy another Power Bright inverter.

I hope reading this saves you all the trouble I went through!

Amber Blue 54x LED Volunteer EMS Vehicle Strobe Light - 1 set

Amber Blue 54x LED Volunteer EMS Vehicle Strobe Light - 1 setThis product is perfect for the price....is very bright at night, but not so much during the day but anybody that has ever run lights like this know that unless your spending hundreds of dollars on say whelen your never going to get that. But regardless it still moves traffic and that's all that matters. They are super tiny maybe 1.5 inches per 3 led's and very easy to break but not too hard to mount with a little thinking having to be done on your part because the brackets that they come on only make sense n some cars / trucks. This order is my 2nd one for the rear of my car so it tells you that they are good.

Great lights, not the brightest during the day or in direct sunlight but for the cheap price they are great. The controller box's do not have memory. So I had to solder a resistor onto the pattern I wanted so its constant when turned on. Other then that the lights are a great bang for the buck.

VELLEMAN K7300 UNIVERSAL BATTERY CHARGER/DISCHARGER KIT

VELLEMAN K7300 UNIVERSAL BATTERY CHARGER/DISCHARGER KITBottom Line: Skip it and buy a far superior ready-made "smart charger" for half the price.

First, the charger is good for single cell NiCad batteries, because it will discharge the battery before charging, thereby overcoming the memory effect. (NiCads tend to develop reduced capacity if they are recharged before being fully discharged repeatedly.) But for a battery (2 or more cells), doing this runs the risk of one cell discharging a little before the others, in which case their discharge ends up reverse charging the early discharger, which ruins the cell and hence drops the battery voltage (by 1.2 volts for every dead cell). So this function is of limited value, applying only to single-cell NiCad batteries.

But there isn't much call for NiCad single cells anymore; they have given way to NiMH cells, which are superior for nearly all applications (and are much kinder as well) to the environment, as they don't spread toxic cadmium when tossed in the trash). Moreover, NiMH cells don't have the memory effect problem, and in fact unnecessary discharge tends to shorten their life. Only a few stores still carry NiCad cells.

So is the charger good for NiMH cells? Alas, it lacks the sophistication of off-the-shelf "smart chargers" that sell for half the price, often with 2 or 4 of the newer pre-charged NiMH cells. (The older NIMH cells self-discharged at a rate of about 1% a day, which meant that even if they topped them off at the factory, there was a good chance they would be dead by the time they ended up in your radio at home. The new ones don't have this problem.)

What is special about the smart chargers is they use a microprocessor and sensors that monitor the battery temperature and voltage in order to avoid overcharging them. Charging too fast and too long are (after letting them discharge completely), the major causes of early loss of cell capacity. The program looks for the "reverse delta" in the cell voltage (after steadily rising while charging, it briefly drops back a wee bit), which is the endpoint for healthy charging. They generally monitor the charging time as well, shutting down even without the reverse delta if it goes on too long.

The Velleman unit does use a timer, but it is the only method of stopping the charge. It is better than nothing, but cannot take into account the amount of charge actually needed; it's like going to the gas station to fill up your tank, and pumping gas for 4 minutes and 32 seconds because that's the average time it takes to fill a tank. You are likely to end up with gas on the ground or with a tank that is empty again too soon. One more thing: if the power to the charger is interrupted, the timer starts all over again.

OEM Original Rapid Car Vehicle Auto Plug in Battery Charger for T-Mobile LG G2x - LG Optimus T - Ni

OEM Original Rapid Car Vehicle Auto Plug in Battery Charger for T-Mobile LG G2x - LG Optimus T - Nice - Cell PhoneIt burned out after a month of use. I used it every day for my car. I travel and needed a cord I could count on. Not this one.

Like this charger a lot. Works as described. My phone is older, and I did not want to spend a lot of money on a car charger.

I bought this charger about 6 months ago and have used it continuously without any problems since. I was skeptical at first due to its price (and due to previous bad experiences with low-cost off-brand chargers), but it actually says "LG" on it, is rather heavy, and charges my phone at a decent speed. I'd highly, highly recommend this product.

Sirius SR4000 Orbiter Receiver Satellite Radio

Sirius SR4000 Orbiter Receiver Satellite Radio
  • Easy-to-read 6-line LCD display automatically adjusts brightness to conditions
  • Displays channel name, number, category, artist, song title and time simultaneously
  • Satellite-updated real-time clock with alarm and sleep timer
  • Song-Seek/Program alert prompts you when your favorite song or programs are playing on another channel
  • Includes a full-function wireless remote control (requires 2 "AAA" batteries for operation, not included); Radio subscription sold separately

This is one of the older (to my knowledge) Sirius units. I've had mine 3+ years. They are bigger and clunkier than many of the new models, but to me with the larger display and button size it is far easier to use and preferable. I have 5 of these in my family and have not had trouble with any of them. Mine is used in my car on my daily commute and then taken into the office to be used all day in the compatible boombox. I've looked at the new ones and while they do appear a bit more slick and sophisticated, I've decided for now I'll keep what works very well for me. FYI In two of our cars, I have the unit hidden out of sight in the center console with the antenna on the rear deck inside the car and it works well if you make certain the antenna has a good view of the sky. To me the trade off of a possible very slight degradation of performance is more than offset by the convenience of a totally inside the vehicle installation.

Nyko iBoost Battery Pack for iPod

Nyko iBoost Battery Pack for iPod
  • Up to 16 hours extra play time
  • High quality lithium-ion battery cells
  • Charge both the iBoost and the iPod, and transfer files, all at thesame time
  • Fits 20GB and 40GB iPods, and their Docks
  • Charges via AC adaptor supplied with iPod; or via computer's USB orFireWire port

I shopped around for a long time trying to find just the right power booster for my 30 gig video ipod. The less than 3 hour video use time of the ipod wasn't making it on long business trips which I take every week. I found this item on Amazon at a much lower price than anywhere else. It has met and exceeded all my expectations. Both video and audio lasts all day now. What a great buy this item was for me.....don't hesitate....this is what you have been looking for......excellent quality, lean, light and a bundle of extra power.

Buy Nyko iBoost Battery Pack for iPod Now

This product is, in my opinion, all that anyone could ever want in an iPod external battery. When I go on long trips via airplane, I can watch video the whole way across the U.S. with this. The iBoost also allows you to never remove your iPod from it again; you can charge and synchronize your iPod without removing it from the iBoost, just drop the whole package into the iPod Dock. My iPod Video 5.0G 30GB is held snugly by the retention arms and the foam spacer pad. The foam spacer pad is removable to fit larger iPods.

The iboost package says it will add 7 hours for video. Mine added 4.5. The instructions say it will fully charge in 4.5 hours. Mine takes around 9. I called them. They said the charge time listed is not valid. Hmmm. They said the video time will vary. I ran the video as a test, and did not touch the ipod except to start the movie again. I should have the maximum time, shouldn't I? their answer is that times will vary. Hmmm.

I may return mine. Not sure. It is nice in that is fits well (on my 5G), is compact and rechargable. BUT keep in mind my figures above.

Want Nyko iBoost Battery Pack for iPod Discount?

I often go on long trips and use my iPod not only for music but for watching movies. Before buying the iBoost I would always have to cut my viewing time short for fear of draining out my battery. Now with the iBoost, I can watch several movies and my iPod battery is still fully charged. The iBoost has allowed my to enjoy my iPod more than I already did. I recommend it for anyone who uses their iPod for watching movies/music videos. You'll appreciate the extra hours of viewing time you will gain using the iBoost.

Save 65% Off

I got two of these for my 80 GB iPod video. I can charge the iBoost and sync my iPod at the same time or charge the iBoost independently. I'm pretty sure that I don't get the full 16 hours of extra audio and the 7 hours of advertised video, but I come pretty close to tripling the amount of iPodding that I can do between recharges which is perfect for vacations.

Nyko did an excellent job designing the device. You can use your iPod until until the battery is almost dead, then slide it into the iBoost. The iBoost adds a little bit to the size of the iPod when connected, but not so much so that it doesn't fit in my pocket. It does keep it from fitting in my armband, however. It adds just under an inch below the iPod where the battery is housed. Less than a quarter inch is added in thickness as well. So the statement on the packaging "So slim, so light. You won't know it's there" isn't exactly true; nevertheless, it is a good device.

It will not fit will for the smaller width iPods, but an attachment is included so that the thinner iPods (same width, but thinner) will fit well. As I have only been using the iBoost for a short period of time, I cannot speak to how well the lithium ion battery ages and continues to hold a charge.

Nevertheless, for the price and the utility of the device, I would strongly recommend anybody who ever has had to stop using his/her iPod because the battery died get one of these.

Rapid Car Charger + Home Travel Charger + SYnc Transfer USB Data Cable for Verizon Motorola Droid A

Rapid Car Charger + Home Travel Charger + SYnc Transfer USB Data Cable for Verizon Motorola Droid A855 Cell PhoneI tested this kit on the Motorola Droid and here are my thoughts:

Home charger: doesn't work. The phone started freaking out like buttons were being pressed very fast. I believe it doesn't work because this charger is only 500mA and the stock charger is 850mA.

USB data cable: works but it's the same size as the stock cable. If you want a longer cable to plug on the stock charger, look elsewhere.

Car charger: seems to be working but the cable is very thin compared to the others. I can't tell what is the current so I don't think I will use it.

The plug in charger makes the phone freak out like the previous reviewer said... as if ghosts are constantly tapping on the screen opening and closing things all crazily. This is not what you want to see. The output voltage on the thing says 4.5V to 9.5V. The original Motorola charger doesn't give a range, it claims to output 5.1V, exactly 5.1V. I think that the fact that this charger has more than a factor of two error in the output voltage is a bit scary, and probably the reason that it makes the phone freak out. To be fair, the price is ridiculously low and who knew it wouldn't work. I wouldn't expect them to have tested it for this price, but I've learned my lesson. The USB cable is really really short, and I don't trust the car charger after the wall charger experience. However even if only one of the three things that came in this kit is usable, that's still not too bad for the price. Also, from comparing to the picture, and some other reviewers' descriptions, it kind of seems like everyone gets something different in the mail, so maybe it's worth the gamble. You could get lucky.

Buy Rapid Car Charger + Home Travel Charger + SYnc Transfer USB Data Cable for Verizon Motorola Droid A Now

I've had good luck with cheap, generic chargers in the past, and was hoping this one would fit that bill for my new Motorola Droid. I was sadly let down, as each of the three cables had its own issue.

Home Charger Phone completely freaks out when its plugged in. Don't bother trying to use it the phone will register all kinds of presses that you never made.

USB Cable If you just plug it in and let it sit, this will work ok but if you attempt to use the phone, it will crash a lot. Hard resets required.

Car Charger "Charger" is not the correct term. More like "car battery drain slower." It will not charge the battery at all it will slightly slow down the drain of having the phone on, but that's it.

I don't know if this product works for other devices, but for the Droid, don't waste your time. The price might tempt you to try it, but you'll be left disappointed and purchasing other chargers like I did.

I was wary of these products at these prices, but thought it might be worth the risk. When I plugged in the wall charger, the phone started to freak out. It started doing all sorts of crazy things, including DOWNLOADING pay-for APPS! I unplugged it and verified no damage to the phone and no apps installed and decided to try it with the phone turned off. It still freaked out, but not as badly. Finally, I powered the phone off completely and connected the charger. This seemed to work better. I only bought these chargers as emergency backups for the OEM charger and cable and if used cautiously, I think they might fit the bill.

I tried the USB cable as a charger only, did not try to transfer data, and it worked fine. Obviously, since it's spaghetti thin, this also fits the "emergency use only" category.

I haven't tried the car charger yet. Hopefully never have to.

I'm surprised Amazon.com allows this kind of crap to be sold on their website. This is more of what you'd expect from an auction site.

Bottom line, first time you use these items, monitor your phone very closely!

Want Rapid Car Charger + Home Travel Charger + SYnc Transfer USB Data Cable for Verizon Motorola Droid A Discount?

This looked like a great combination for my Motorola Droid. The car charger seems to work as does the mini-USB cable. Unfortunately, the AC adapter does not work properly. Plugging it in causes the phone to act like I am toching the screen in random ways. I did not realize the problem at first and it sent a jibberish text message to my daughter while I was asleep. Not good.

Sorry to say this item doesn't work with Iphone's. We have 4 different models (4s, 4, 3g and 3) none of them will charge with this plug. My daughter picked out several colored plugs "because they are cool". Guess the recycling bin gets some neat colored plastic.

I purchased this product from BestDealUSA and i am sad to say that this item does not work properly . I contacted BestDealUSA and they sent me another one and that one did not work as well. The problem with this product is it will falsely claim that your phone has been properly charged to 100 percent. It also does not charge your phone at all. It will remain on the battery percentage you started for mintues. Buy a different product, dont take a risk with this item!

Powerline By Original Power 0900-66 200-Watt Coffee Cup Inverter with USB Charging Port and Two Out

Powerline By Original Power 0900-66 200-Watt Coffee Cup Inverter with USB Charging Port and Two OutletsThis little guy is GREAT. The shape allows it to sit in your cup holder out of the way unlike the bigger odd-shaped ones that fly all over the place while you're driving.

This device is perfect for road trips. It handled my laptop and cell phone charger at the same time, and the USB port let me charge my iPod too. The plug fit just fine, and the low-power alarm is quite effective.

The only bummer is when you have a real cup of coffee and no where to put it...

This worked for maybe 20 minutes, but after that, any time I so much as plugged this unit into the car's outlet, the car's fuse would immediately blow (even with nothing plugged into the inverter).

The concept is great, having a place to put the inverter that is convenient and doesn't dangle or shift around, yet also isn't a big device that has to plug right into the accessory outlet (which isn't always placed to facilitate a device like this, and also precludes being able to simultaneously use the outlet to power anything else.) And enough people have left good reviews that I assume they're not all so prone to quick failure. Nevertheless, I will not buy another PowerLine. I previously had the PowerLine 0900-36A which also failed (though I did get more than 20 minutes out of it). So I just don't consider them reliable, and I don't know how long other reviewers have had their units.

Luckily, there are numerous other cup-holder-sized inverters to choose from, just do an amazon search for "inverter cup"

UPDATE: I purchased the Black & Decker PI100CB. It only has one outlet instead of two, but at least so far, it's working perfectly. It is possible that the Powerline failed quickly because of a design flaw other reviewers have noticed... the Powerline needs air around the fan toward the bottom of the unit and that air flow will generally get blocked once the device is actually placed in a cup holder, possibly leading to overheating and failure. The Black and Decker has a clever design which solves this problem. It comes with a rubber insert that goes in your cup holder, and the device in turn goes into the rubber insert. The smart thing is that the rubber insert itself is designed to make sure air flow to the device's fan is not blocked.

But the instructions say to not cover any of the vents while in use. That makes putting the inverter into your cup holder (as it was seemingly made for) a big no-no. The bottom of the cup is filled with vents and you can feel air blowing out when it's in use. So, they market this cool inverter that fits into your cup holder, but then give instructions that discourage you from putting it into your cup holder.....

When I put it into my cup holder, the light ended up turning red, meaning it was turning itself off.

Used this inverter once so far. Clever design. I was hoping I might be able to leave it in the car, maybe stick a disk of paper on the top to hide the outlets, and thieves would think it was just a coffee cup, but the white cord sticking out the back near the top makes that hard to pull off. Still, I love the design. Charging my shaver and my iPod at the same time was no problem, and the fan did not come on, at least not audibly. Will have to try some higher powered devices and see what happens. I have some concern, like others have, that tucking it into a tight cup holder will not leave enough breathing room for the bottom vents, but with the fan not even turning on for my typical uses, I'm not too concerned. If it ends up being an issue, I can always stick a small piece of wine cork on the bottom to give it some additional space. The 12V plug has a two-position switch to adjust the tightness of its fit in the socket, a nice touch.

UPDATE: recently when my iPhone was nearly dead, the USB port on this device appeared to not be able to charge it. After 30 minutes of charging, I still had the iPhone displaying a red "depleted battery" graphic. The graphic normally goes away within 10 minutes of initiating charging. Subsequent tests using the Apple iPhone 3G AC adapter in the inverter's 110V outlet, then the USB iPhone cable in the AC adapter, exhibited no problems. Either the 500mA provided via USB is not enough, or the iphone is picky about its USB power source. There is some info on the web suggesting the iPhone is just picky. Google "iPhone reference voltage"

Let's see..the description says 200 watt continuous 400 watt peak..Well, I bought this inverter to power my coleman inflater (170 watt)..SO I plug it in and plug into my coleman and there it goes, right? NO!! it can't handle the load..What?? isn't 170 less than 200..Why yes it is, except in powerline land...All kidding aside, if you're looking to power something close to the 200 watt range look somewhere else..if you're looking to power something less i.e. under 170 watts than this might work, but who knows..What I do know is that it WILL NOT power 170 watts so saying 200 continuous is a stretch...THANKS

Coleman 50005 5-Watt Solar Powered Trickle Charger

Coleman 50005 5-Watt Solar Powered Trickle ChargerThis is a nice unit for charging. Definitely worth the 30 dollars I paid for it. Keep in mind, if you are expecting a lot of power from this, it may not be enough. Do the calculations carefully to make sure you have enough panel and some spare to charge up the products you intend to use this for.

My 5th wheel RV has 2 deep cycle batteries and while the RV sits idle and not connected to shore power, the batteries gradually lose their charge. The Coleman 5 watt solar trickle charger maintains them at full charge during these times. Be sure and check the water level in your batteries periodically if your RV is stored for an extended period of time. Buying an expensive mount for the charger is not necessary as there are good options open at a fraction of the cost to anyone with a bit of an imagination and some ingenuity.

This is great for vehicles with something causing the battery to go dead over long periods on inactivity, but not ment to charging your battery quickly. My truck sets for a week to two months without use and the battery would go dead because of a small current draw from something in the system. One of these chargers made it so I can go to my truck after over two months of not starting and not worry about if it will start.

This is low power, but works well at keeping a disused battery charged at 50-80 degrees F

I wired my motorcycle accessories with these 2 pole connectors. This was the perfect solution for powering my cell phone charger, gps, and mp3 player from one source. I've never seen this at any local stores, and this beats splicing individual connectors together for this purpose.

Powermonkey V2 Pink

Powermonkey V2 PinkI got one of these a few years ago when they first came out and now we own three and keep them charged at all times so we can grab one on our way out the door if anything (in our case, Iphones and Ipods) needs charging. We also take them on trips so that we can each watch a movie on the plane and not end up with a completely drained Ipod or Iphone when we arrive at our destination!

Wonderful product!!!

One side note, Power Monkey also makes one with a digital readout letting you know how much charge is left that is a particularly useful feature my old one has it, the purple ones do not.

When we travel we want a power booster for our MAC equipment and this is the perfect thing. Purse size it keeps my IPod going as I do museum tours and my IPad going as I review photos.

When I bought it I wasn't sure it was going to work with my Motoral V3, but it did worked out and is great to have it with you, it has helped me out with my computer, my cell phone and has lots of more applications and also the way to use it around the world, since it has differente sockets according to the country you are in or traveling.

While not the quality of the genuine RIM item, you can buy 10 of these for the price of one original RIM charger. First one lasted me 6 months, but the cord gets mashed where it comes out of the arm rest, so maybe it isn't a quality issue that killed it
