  • IC Chip recognizes a full battery & automatically switches to saver mode
  • Can be used with input voltages from 12V to 24V DC (both car & truck)

Fast shipping...worked great at first, but would turn phone off in car when plugged in. Not sure if my phone requires the original brand or not. I did not contact the seller about this, so they don't know. However, the seller did ship product as described and it got here quickly!

GTMax Rapid Car Charger w/ IC Chip for Magellan Roadmate 1400 1412 1430 1440 1470 1475T

GTMax Rapid Car Charger w/ IC Chip for Magellan Roadmate 1400 1412 1430 1440 1470 1475T
  • Charge your cell phone when you're on the road.
  • Use the time you spend in your car to make sure that your phone is ready to go.
  • Car charger plugs into your car's cigarette lighter and charges your phone while you're driving.
  • Intelligent IC chip recognizes a fully charged battery and automatically switches to saver mode to prevent overcharging and short circuit.
  • Plug never heats or overcharges the battery.

So far, it seems to work ok. I like the straight on plug for the unit. The original one had a 90 degree bend in, and that is where it broke.

This was a dc charger for the Magellan GPS system. The end of the cord broke off within a dozen uses and here I am again looking for ANOTHER cable for this device, money wasted here move on.

Worked great for a while the poof no more. Am disappointed that it didn't work longer. So now what! Gave it 3 stars for working for a month!

This charger does the job. The only drawback is the screen surges a little when it is plugged in. Nothing that affects the ability of the GPS unit.

I read earlier comments that the cord is short. It is short but it is also wound. I found that I just needed to stretch the cord to the length I needed and didn't have any problems. The cord is very long when stretched out so no one should have any problems.

Garmin GPS 10 Deluxe with Bluetooth Technology

Garmin GPS 10 Deluxe with Bluetooth Technology
  • WAAS-Enabled, 12-Channel Sensor Receives GPS Satellite
  • Signals & Wirelessly Transmits Them To A Mobile Device
  • Adds Full-Featured GPS Navigation To Bluetooth-Enabled Devices
  • More Than 5 Million Points Of Interest Such As Restaurants, Hotels,
  • Gas Stations & Attractions

I've been using a Garmin StreetPilot III for 3 years now, for those unfamilar with it, its a all-in-one GPS unit with auto-routing feature and voice prompt. Its a good trusty device, highly rugged and I credit much of my career success in Silicon Valley to it.

What prompted me to start sourcing for another GPS device is due to the airport hassle we experience these days. I work for the Sales department of a security company and that means frequent travel these days. The StreetPilot III is an excellent device but its a little bulky to fit into my notebook bag.

Hence enter the Garmin GPS 10. I got mine for $209 from Digitally Unique, they're slow on shipping but the price was good. Get the Deluxe package and not the receiver only one, the Garmin software and maps are worth the money.

In comparison with the older StreetPilot, advantages are:

1. Small, light and easily fit into your pocket or laptop bag, easier when passing through airport security.

2. Integrated magnetic mount allows for mounting outside the rental car, a good solution in case you rented a car with heatsheild on the windscreen that can block GPS signal.

3. Waterproof, so you can still mount the device outside the car in adverse weather condition.

4. Software provided for both PocketPC and Windows OS (Mac / Linux users are out of luck here). Most business travellers like myself typically carry a PDA and for sure has a notebook. In case your PDA fails, you'll still have GPS capability using your notebook.

5. Enhanced software features includes:

More customization options

Cool transparent setting for indicators and prompts

Elevation indicator, nice feature when travelling

Easier filter for Waypoints and POI (Points of Interest)

6. Uses standard SD or Compact flash memory cards supported by your PDA instead of the proprietary flash memory cards from Garmin. Get the Viking 512mb SD card available from Amazon here with rebate, goes nicely if your PDA has a SD slot.

7. The GPS 10 turns on automatically if it detects power from the 12v cigarette lighter adaptor.

Disadvantages compared to StreetPilot III:

1. This could be related to my choice of PDA, I'm using a Dell Axim X5 PocketPC 2003. This PDA does not have an integrated Bluetooth so I use a Anycom Bluetooth CF card. Whenever I turn off the PDA and back on again, I need to re-connect the Bluetooth serial connection. Then I have to stop the Garmin nRoute software from searching the serial port, then reconnect again. A bit of a hassle compared to the StreetPilot III where you simply turn it on.

2. Routing algorithm not as good as StreetPilot III. The Pocket PC based routing logic seems to be slightly inferior to the one based on SP III (Palm OS based).

3. Depending on your PDA, the screen could be very difficult to read in the car. The Dell Axim X5 does not do well despite its transreflective LCD. The SP 3 on the other hand is clearly visible under all sorts of condition. Recommend you buy a PDA with a very bright screen.

4. PDA dependent. The SP 3 is a integrated device and is very rugged, sitting in direct sunlight for 2 years before I finally managed to buy a townhouse with a garage last year. The PDA however, is flimsy in comparison. I would not thing the Dell Axim will hold up being in sunlight all the time for 2 years.

5. Mounting a hassle. For a semi permanent mount in a car, you'll have to buy a mount either from Seidio or Arkon. However, those mounts are mainly for the PDA and you'll have to mount the GPS 10 seperately.

Recommendation:

1. If you do not travel by air frequently but is looking for a GPS device for use in your car, go with one of those all-in-one devices such as the older Garmin 2610/2620 or the newer Garmin c320/c330. They're much easier to use and mount, and are easier to see in your car.

2. For frequent travellers by air, get this Garmin GPS 10 and a good PDA. This combo is a lot more portable and works even if you end up renting a car with heatshield on the windscreen. Also, in case the PDA fails, you'll have your notebook to fall back on.

3. If you decide on the Garmin GPS 10, get a PDA that has the fastest possible processor. The latest Intel XScale running at 624Mhz is a good choice. My Axim X5 running 416Mhz though usable, I sometimes felt a faster processor would be nice when I'm planning a trip and markign waypoints on the PDA.

Buy Garmin GPS 10 Deluxe with Bluetooth Technology Now

I am an accountant with average PC skills. If you have a laptop with Bluetooth and another person to serve as navigator, the GPS 10 Deluxe is for you.

Set-up was easy. The n-Route laptop navigation software loaded quickly and easily as did the maps of the US and Canada. (On a laptop, you can load and unlock the maps all in one step.)

The GPS/software kit price is 5% of an installed navigator on new car while the functionality is comparable, and the laptop screen view and sound are excellent. Documentation of the software and GPS is thorough and easy to follow. The magnetic GPS 10 module clings securely to the hood or roof of your car.

Turn on your laptop and connect to the GPS 10 with Bluetooth. Then open the n-Route software and the laptop quickly connects with the GPS. You are ready to go (the software permits you to see how many satellites are being used to fix your position).

Assuming that you have saved your home and destination as "waypoints," you can easily create a route using two waypoints (beginning and end). The software/GPS allows your laptop follow the progress of your vehicle and provides suggested voice and visual directions along the way. Of course, you can chose to go your own way at any point, and the software automatically recalculates your route. At the bottom of the screen you can watch the ever-changing status including your current speed, direction, and time and distance to destination and next maneuver.

The maps have very good route detail and lots of helpful information regarding retail establishments and other points of interest, with an easy way to find them, especially when you are looking for something while traveling (gas, food, etc.).

You may need to change the setting on your firewall to disable the automatic detection of new wireless networks that you will encounter while travelingxx in residential areas, which will distract from your navigating.

Defining a "waypoint" by using a street address may take a little practice and some trial and error.

Note When I ordered this, Amazon had the descriptions switched for two similar products. One comes with software, the other does not. The more expensive one comes with software.

I am using this with my HP IPaq PDA without problems. Routing is very accurate. The software is good and the find feature is like having the yellow pages in your hand as you can search companies, services etc and get their phine number as well as their address...

Product suggestion, make a small recess to keep the rubber plug that closes the power socket when not in use...

Update 1/6/2010:

This unit has gotten better with time. Since initial review, I moved to the ATT (HTC) 8525, and a couple of software updates and a firmware update make this little beauty shine. None of the bluetooth disconnect issues exist anymore from the original review. Latest software included 3D view, and performance is much more reasonable on the 8525. Would get 5 stars if the unit would provide GPS to apps other than Garmin. Shame on you Garmin in your closed source, closed access attitude. New maps updates are ridiculous at $100+.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The GPS unit is extremely sturdy, the magnetic mount is perfect, and the power adapter plug cover thingy is lost already (I've owned for a month).

I use the Cingular 8125 smart phone with the device. The GPS is the only bluetooth device I use with the phone. If the phone powers off, or the GPS is powered off, or the phone is taken out of the bluetooth range, the bluetooth partnership is never remembered. If the phone goes to sleep, the partnership is lost. Workaround is to keep the phone plugged in all the time, or turn off sleep mode on the phone.

Software on the PDA is fairly decent, but due to the weak processor in my phone (200MHz OMAP), calculating routes can take upwards of 2 minutes sometimes. The phone sometimes generates exceptions on the Que software when it is not even running.

Worse part of the software is getting maps onto the phone. I live and travel throughout Texas extensively, and about once a month I'll go somewhere outside of the state. I keep all of Texas (about 6 zones) stored on the SD card, but when I want to add say the D.C area, it's a complete reselect of all 6 zones in TX and then the new zones I want, and then the whole thing has to be uploaded through the USB link again. Ideally the software would read what zones you have already, then allow you to add or remove only those you want.

I wanted a GPS to use on a road trip to Arizona and ordered a GPS 10 to use with a Dell Axim PDA. Got he GPS 10 at end of April and used a couple of times. It worked as advertised. On the road trip to Arizona I plugged it into the cigeratte lighter to charge the battery. The unit got so hot I could not hold it. After that the GPS 10 would not come back on.

I have been trying for 3 days to call Garmin tech support and it is almost always busy. I did get thru once after holding for 45 minutes. After listening to the menu I selected the Outdoor option and was on hold some more. Finally someone answered the phone, said I was in the wrong que, tried to transfer me but we got disconnected. Tried calling again and was busy.

Finally got on the web site and sent a message to tech support. After 36 hrs. I got a response that said send it back for repairs.

Recieved the new one and got the blue tooth to connect to my PDA (dell axim 51v) but it would not connect to the Garmin Que software. Another call to Garmin (busy, hold, disconnect, busy again) after a week or so finally got thru to Garmin. Seems I needed a new unlock code since I changed units and the software is linked to the GPS unit and they must match. Once you get them all connected it works. But the next time you want to use it you must delete the Bluetooth connection and go thru the Bluetooth setup again.

If you use it with Microsoft Streets the unit will connect and follow along with little effort. The only problem is that MS streets will only download a small area at a time to the PDA. But it does work if you stay in the small area or load another map set.

Bottom Line I've had the system for 4 plus months and haven't got it to work properly in the whole time. Wasn't a good use of a couple hundred bucks

Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch

Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch
  • Built-in dock connector to charge your iPhone and flip-out USB tip to recharge without the mess of extra cables
  • Extends play time up to 23 hours music, up to 7 hours of video and up to 5 hours of talk time
  • LED battery gauge displays remaining battery pack power level
  • Perfect for long flights and small travel bags
  • 1A power for fast charging of your iPhone, including iPhone 4

Bought this gadget to take to WDW in Orlando, as it's very difficult to find places to charge an iPhone there. I charged the battery pack the night before we hit park #1 and when my iPhone got below 50%, I charged it...took about 30 minutes. Was able to recharge the iPhone several times like this on one "full-charge" of the battery pack. Had to recharge the battery pack after 3 or 4 days. I highly recommend this product if you are not going to be near electricity OR if you're taking and emailing/texting lots of photos which eat up some of the battery time.

I bought this for my business partner as he uses his iPhone 4 quite a bit and he cannot stop raving about how good it is. The shape of this device makes it really easy to use as a holder for watching a video while supplying battery power at the same time. A definite recommend!

Update: I notice that a similar version of this gets knocked for not working with the iPhone 4. This model does and would be the one you should buy if you have an iPhone 4.

This charger worked great on my most recent trip away from home. Though my iPod Touch battery life is quite good I still needed a battery backup and this Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch unit worked like a charm. As advertised, when my iPod battery ran low I just plugged in the charger and continued listening to my music until my flight was over.

The unit arrived nearly fully charged and I topped it off by plugging it directly into a USB port on my computer using the built-in USB adapter. No extra cables! When I needed to use the unit to charge my iPod I just flipped up the top -which also acts as a stand -and connected it directly to the port. My iPod beeped and displayed it was being charged.

A day or so later I recharged my player again and still the charger was not exhausted. Quite impressive. Little blue status lights along the side indicate the power reserve in the pack so I knew when it was going to need another re-charge. Even after two charges I was only about half empty on the charger and probably could have used it for a 3rd charge before being completely exhausted.

I haven't tried any other charger but I am very pleased with the built-in USB plug and the attached flip-up cover/stand. There's no need to look for a replacement.

Good job, Kensington!

I spend all day 25 ft. up in a tree deer hunting. This Kensington battery pack and charger is the ideal source in case my IPhone battery discharges with use or unintentionally. I don't go in the woods without it.

I was really looking for one or two of their ultra portable battery packs that they made in the past which was a great product!!

I had to settle for this. It is OK. When you get to below 20% on your phone this product does not charge your phone completely back up to to 100%, maybe 80 to 90% if you are lucky. (The old product did)

The compactness is Fine except you are trading width for thickness. So it will depend on how you are carrying it. It does charge the phone back to that 80% within I believe it was an hour or two.

The old did it in 1 hour. It is more contained then the the old (it had to be tethered by a cable) but I did not mind the inconvenience for an hour. Price about the same.

Both could charge via computer or AC. I would say if you can find the old one new I would snatch it up. This one I am reviewing is something you just have to settle for because nothing else on the market

is as efficient or reliable as the Kensington!

Battery Tender Snap Cord Super Smart Replacement Parts Motorcycle Battery Charger - Color: Black

Battery Tender Snap Cord Super Smart Replacement Parts Motorcycle Battery Charger - Color: BlackI was told that i would need a cable with a 15 amp in line fuse to power my heated gloves and not to interchange the fuses that came with this cable. you are not supposed to use this wire for heated equipment is what my cables said that hook up to my gloves. My wire only came with a 5 amp fuse, however some have said theirs came with a 15 amp fuse. kinda weird if you ask me. but i ordered a standard sae battery cable to connect directly to sae cables that go to gloves. cut out the 6 inch battery tender to sae adapter. but will keep this cable to install battery tender down the road. hopefully this is helpful to some of you searching for the right parts and pieces to get your stuff to work.

Cable & fuse all worked as claimed, I am using it in a special environment. Insulation, check in your application.

Schumacher PSJ-4424 DSR ProSeries 4400 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power Unit

Schumacher PSJ-4424 DSR ProSeries 4400 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power UnitThis model is a recent purchase and I also have one 12V only model (3600) that I purchased two years ago. I own two farms and several vehicles and various farm equipment. Both units are very rugged and perform very well. I have used them both to start farm tractors, cars, trucks, mowers, a generator, and my Bobcat in winter. The cables and clamps are heavy commercial quality items that store nicely when not in use. The built-in charger works well to quickly charge and maintain the internal batteries. It will jump-start several vehicles between charges. These have really proved invaluable and save me the hassle of getting a truck close in while trying to get the battery side close enough so I can wrestle around with a cold set of jumper cables what a pain.. I carry one of these on trips, when towing or in bad weather so in an emergency I don't have to rely on the kindness of strangers for a jump-start although I have rescued two damsels in distress and one city guy with a Neon so far. You don't have to worry about smoking the alternator on your truck when jumping an unfamiliar vehicle either. The accessory 12V cigarette lighter-type outlet has actually proven to be a handy "never thought I would use it" feature. The switches are commercial quality and are not flimsy junk like many others. The LED readout actually provides useful information concerning internal battery or vehicle voltage levels or percentage of charge. If you are in the market for a no-nonsense unit, then I can tell you I have been very pleased with both of mine. You can rest assured that you will get what you pay for. Ladies, these would make a great gift for your busy guy. Just make sure it's big enough for his equipment. The 12V only is fine unless he has really big trucks, tractors or airplanes. I had to buy both of mine myself. I was able to take advantage of an Amazon gift card to help out on the second one. I was very surprised how quickly this one arrived.

Only charges to 63%. Amazon has no system for complaints, returns, resolutions because it was sold by amazon and it is battery (hazardous).

They suggest the manual, the manufacturer which I am trying, but, we have a commercial vehicle down in a field waiting for a jump.

Frustrating it is better to purchase from a reseller than from Amazon directly.

Buy Schumacher PSJ-4424 DSR ProSeries 4400 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power Unit Now

I had intended to buy a high capacity jump starter for some time for use on the farm. I was prompted to go ahead and get one a few months ago because the batteries on my Dodge Ram 3500 have reached the point that they will hold a charge for only a few days -some times the truck may set a week without being used. Since the vehicle starts fine when used regularly, I didn't want to buy a new pair of batteries till I had to.

I have been amazed at the power that this jump starter delivers. It starts my truck's relatively big Diesel engine every bit as easily as new batteries would.

Only one minor complaint: The cables on the jump starter lack a couple of feet being long enough to reach from the ground to the battery on my truck. This is a minor problem -I simply set it on the bumper.

As I said, I have owned this jump starter only a few months. If future problems occur, I will amend this rating.

I used it to start up a ford econoline with a seized up alternator, and it turned it over like nothing. I had to keep it on the van because the battery was dead and would stall without the power. I had to start it 8 or so times to drive it up on my trailer.

Only problem with it is the fan stays on the entire time it is plugged in. The manual says you can leave it plugged in forever, but I don't know how long that little fan inside can take it. That is my only problem with it so far.

Want Schumacher PSJ-4424 DSR ProSeries 4400 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power Unit Discount?

Very heavy & solid. Have never used as cars, motorhome & motorcycles not failing yet. However, reading other reviews this seems to be a very reliable jumpstarter. Again it is very, very heavy but I carry in my motorhome (bus). Does NOT have a cable to charge the unit dont understand why the manufacturer is not supplying this.

Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Epic 4G

Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Epic 4GThe original car charger that came with the Samsung Epic 4G phone works fine with the exception that it is too short. You can't answer your phone while it is charging without either leaning toward the charger to talk, or pulling the charger out of the socket. I love this charger because when it's not in use, there are no wires hanging around getting in the way. This charger fits snugly and and retracts perfectly every time.

Small, reliable, super fast retractable cable, and a fancy blue light to tell you when it's charging. What else do you need?

I like the fact that it retracts and you don't have a long wirer that gets in the way when you get out of your car.

Worked for quite some time then died. To be expected with a cheap item like this. Just going to purchase something else.

Want Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Epic 4G Discount?

I purchased two of these chargers because I wanted to eliminate the need for both a converter and wall cord into my car lighter socket. The design held promise because of the retractable cord and its overall more compact design than my previous setup. The FIRST time I used it the cord would not retract once it was extended. I tried several times to pull it out more so I could get the spring-loaded wheel to engage and take up the excess cord and it eventually snapped. I was much more careful with the second charger because I thought I was too rough with the first. The second unit lasted almost two months more and the same problem occurred. Save yourself the annoyance and purchase another product.

ESI 710 500 Amp Carbon Pile Load Tester

ESI 710 500 Amp Carbon Pile Load TesterEase of use is low. It arrived with the knob loose so I simply tightened it with a allen wrench. Serves it's purpose.

I wonder what copper stand cables are??

UPDATE: After a few years, it started making a rattling noise inside. I opened it up, and found 4 loose nuts, one fell off and was the rattler. The cheezy box protects it well, but is falling apart.

After using it several times, I finally memorized the instructions. It always does a very good job of telling me the battery's condition. Hook it up, load to half the cca, 15 seconds to test, fairly simple. Just make sure the load knob is all the way off when attaching and detaching or it will spark like mad.

I tried to change from 3 to 4 stars, but it won't let me.

For the cheap price, it may be good to do the odd battery load test, but adjustment was finicky and it started sparking inside sometimes.

Buy ESI 710 500 Amp Carbon Pile Load Tester Now

The pro's of this tester are the ability to adjust amperage load. Accurate testing of a wide range of CCA are possible with this tester.

The cons: The tester performs it's functions; however, it seems cheaply built. I haven't had it long, but the "carbon piles" seem very fragile and destined to break. I run a mobile mechanic service, and I was afraid to put it in my truck. I move it around real softly afraid I'm going to break it. The adjustment knob seems really cheaply made also. It doesn't seem to adjust real accurately either. After you stop turning the knob, the needle will continue to rise sometimes.

All in all, it seems to be a very capable tester although cheaply manufactured.

Uniden GMR2238-3CK 22-Mile GMRS Radios & Charging Cradles, 3-Pack (Blue)

Uniden GMR2238-3CK 22-Mile GMRS Radios & Charging Cradles, 3-PackThese radios seem to work really well for us but the cradle charger is a total joke. The radios barely seat properly and have to be fiddled with to get the charge light to come on. Also, this doesn't come with "cradle chargers", but rather a two slot cradle and one car charger. The car charger plugs in to a DC jack on the radio and works better than the cradle.

Charging station is a challenge and the batteries on 2 units are bad after 2 weeks and less than 4 hours of use. Not much help from uniden, send the unit back

My email to uniden:

Summary of Question : Charging station does not seat radios

Question :

Base station does not let the radios charge. Bad fit and a pain. 1 Battery does not hold a charge. I request 2 charging adapters to eliminate the charger base and 1 new battery. I have now been on hold for 38 minutes. Please fulfill my request or our company may go with a different supplier for ALL our communication equipment. No Joke and will leave reflected feedback on my reviews.

Thank you,

They justified it by saying their charger comes with a 6 month warranty so thats why it cost 6 time more. I have had it for about a month now and it works great.

I think it works. First use, though, disabled the phone's microphone. Phone had to be reset for some reason.

The unit that I received was exceptionally better than I could ever have hoped for. It is the right one for my cell phone and it also came unexpectedly with a USB plug in point that just made for even better value. This USB unit by itself would cost about $20.00. Chances are you may not receive this particular unit. I have ordered another to see if I can duplicate my good luck.

The other one came and like with the first one it is obviously a very good deal. I examined the package and noted a retail price of $29.98. So anyone who needs to power up the iPod iPad iPhone and so on while in the car, this is an ideal and inexpensive way to go. I give them 10 stars, 5 for each one.

EMPIRE CE Certified Rubberized CLA Car Charger for Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II I415

EMPIRE CE Certified Rubberized CLA Car Charger for Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II I415an OS update left my previous charger as "incompatible" with my phone. Bought this to keep from having to carry my cable with me all the time. Works great!

I was surprised how quickly the phone charges with this charger. I did not time it, but I haven't really had too many long drives, so I'm assuming it is around 30 minutes.

It was inexpensive and does the job. It's one of few types that will fit our older GM car lighter socket.

Doesn't fit our ancient phones. Not worth sending back, due to its original cost vs. return shipping. We tried, we failed. We live in the past. Oh well.

Premium Rapid Car Auto Vehicle Charger For ATT Samsung Infuse 4G - NisaTechWorld

Premium Rapid Car Auto Vehicle Charger For ATT Samsung Infuse 4G - NisaTechWorldI received excellent service from this seller and the product is great! You can leave it plugged into your car and even though a red light is visible, it is not using your battery because it contains a microchip to prevent running your battery down. That was a big convenience factor for me. Highly recommend both the seller and the product!!

Power Bright XR400-12 Power Inverter 400 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC with USB Charging Port

Power Bright XR400-12 Power Inverter 400 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC with USB Charging PortI purchased the Power Bright XR400 power inverter. It never worked new out of the box. When I called Power Bright for help they gave me the run around, said they would mail me return documents and I'm still waiting. They want me to pay for shipping, but the thing that bothers me the most is THEY WOULD ONLY OFFER ME A REFURBISHED UNIT TO REPLACE MY BRAND NEW ONE!

This is a good little charger that we have had for a while and used many times on trips to recharge our portable DVD player. The two outlets are nice to have. My only complaint with this charger is that if you have an iPhone plugged in, it makes the phone 'wig' out if you also try to use it at the same time. It does charge it fine but if it is plugged it while you use it, navigating the iPhone is impossible as swipes, taps, etc are unresponsive and the screen is 'shaky'. Kinda weird...

I had high hopes for this thing. The design is okay, but it could be better if the cables were a bit longer or it was mountable somehow.

My biggest problem with this thing is that it starts to screech in the most annoying way as soon as I connect my laptop to it for recharging, or more than one phone (none of which pull more than 100 watts) while recharging.

I've had it about a month. I'll see if they'll replace. It's a disappointment so far though.

This is an excellent product. I used it to power a Dell netbook on a recent trip from New York to Toronto and back. It stayed cool to the touch and was completely silent, in fact the fan never even came on that I could tell.

The casing looks amazing, it looks like carbon fiber (not real carbon just some kind of film on the plastic)

Works just as advertised, no issues so far running a 13" TV and Nintendo in our RV, combined use about 50 watts.
