Apl I-Phone 3G 3Gs 4 4S 5-1 Usb Charger Orange

Apl I-Phone 3G 3Gs 4 4S 5-1 Usb Charger OrangeIt will charge an iPhone, but not an iPad, which means the internal wiring is cheap. Nice, pretty color, though.

Gomadic Intelligent Compact Car / Auto DC Charger for the Magellan Roadmate 2035 - 2A / 10W power a

Gomadic Intelligent Compact Car / Auto DC Charger for the Magellan Roadmate 2035 - 2A / 10W power at half the size. Uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology
  • Gomadic TipExchange Technology protects your investment by providing a means to change/upgrade your charger by simply swapping the physical charging tip. (Charging tip for Magellan Roadmate 2035) included with additional tips sold separately)
  • Intelligent circuit provides precise output voltage and resistor configuration specific to the Magellan Roadmate 2035. This ensures battery is safely and efficiently charged without affecting battery longevity.
  • Charger provides a full 10W (2,000mAh) of available current in a small form factor a little over 1 inch long. Flexible, straight cable measure 50 inches in total length.
  • Backed by the Gomadic Lifetime Warranty. This is a quality product that is built to be the last car charger you ever buy!
  • Generous input voltage range of 12-24VDC, supports a wide variety of DC charging ports from cars and trucks (both foreign and domestic) to boats, planes and RVs.

We bought this charger after debating whether we should or not because of some of the mixed reviews. We decided to give it a try and are so disappointed we did.

Initially the charger worked, and just recently while on a trip it broke. The little green light does not work when we plug it into the car, and it does not seem to be a fuse with our car since the cell phone chargers are working fine in the car lighter. The super bummer is that it only lasted 45 days...long enough to pass the 30 day return window and yet not long enough to get us through our family vacation.

That said, I am emailing the company because the charger has a lifetime warranty and so far they have responded to my email stating that I should check he fuse in the car. It's not a issue with the car, so I am hoping to either get the charger replaced or refunded. A replacement or refund does not change the fact that we were on vacation with our family and lost because we couldn't use our GPS. Save yourself some trouble and buy another charger.

UPDATE:

The company has very promptly answered my emails and concerns and has shipped me a replacement charger. I misunderstood the original email they sent thinking their customer service was asking me to check the fuse in my car, but they were asking me to check the fuse in the charger. Even before I could check the charger fuse they company sent me a new charger. They were easy to contact and willing to send a replacement charger. I have changed my original rating from one star to 4 since they are honoring the warranty and keeping things simple. Things break so for me, customer service is key in purchasing products.

AccuPower AP12243 Car Adapter for IQ328 Battery Charger Analyzer - Also - La Crosse BC-700 BC-1000

AccuPower AP12243 Car Adapter for IQ328 Battery Charger Analyzer - Also - La Crosse BC-700 BC-1000 BC-9009I should qualify my 1-star by stating that my irritation isn't aimed at the product itself the adapter looks like it is well made and most likely delivers the voltage and current that it claims to. I haven't hooked it up to an oscilloscope to look at the output YET.

My problem here is that the adapter was marketed either by Amazon or by the seller as being for the LaCrosse BC1000 charger/analyzer. It *might* even work for that purpose, but checking with LaCrosse, I got an email back from their Customer Service that says:

"With regard to the following from your email: "If you could look further into the AccuPower Car adapter or please refer me to a car adapter of your own for the BC1000"

Unfortunately, there are no car adapaters that can be advised for use with the BC1000 as it is intended for home/standard outlet use. Our BC500 model is designed with car use in mind, and can also work at home. Again, with regard to "AccuPower", we have no information on that brand. You noted a BC800 and information attained from an Austrailian source. There are variant models of our product that are produced for areas outside of North America. The BC800 would be one of these. Thank you."

Obviously, somebody somehow somewhere made a connection between this adapter and the LaCrosse equipment *apparently* without bothering to ask LaCrosse. That's a bad idea without some coordination there could be issues with the adapter causing damage to the charger and from a warranty perspective, such use probably voids the warranty.

A side note: The AccuPower charger/analyzer that was listed, IQ328, sure looks a lot and by its Owners Manual, operates a lot like the LaCrosse BC1000. Considering the way that so much consumer electronics 'comes from the same factory with different names on it' who knows, they could come off virtually the same assembly line. I have run into cases where this is literally true with some Amateur Radio equipment.

If anyone has any verifiable knowledge of this being the case with the LaCrosse and AccuPower equipment, please follow up to my review and we can check back with both LaCrosse and AccuPower customer service and try and nail this down with regard to using the car adapter.

This charger works great with the La Crosse Technology BC1000 battery charger. It is nice to have a way to charge from a 12 volt power supply.

Simplism Japan Slide Style Dual USB Charger, Black

Simplism Japan Slide Style Dual USB Charger, Black
  • Simply and beautifully designed USB charger with two ports/Compact shape and easy to carry
  • Supports 100V240V/Stable supply large capacity of electric power with 5V/1000mA
  • Overcurrent protection, overcharge protection circuit
  • LED light for charging status/A rotary plug that rotates 180-degree
  • A sliding cover prevents dusts from entering to ports
  • USB charger with two ports.
  • Supports 100V240V.
  • Stable supply large capacity of electric power with 5V/1000mA.
  • Overcurrent protection, overcharge protecting circuit.

This little charger is very useful when you find yourself traveling with your spouse/partner/fiance/boyfriend/girlfriend/goldfish. Instead of sucking up two separate outlets (a precious commodity in many hotel rooms) with two chargers, you can recharge two devices via USB from one wall socket. Works great with two iPhones.

It also doesn't hurt that it has a tidy, clean design. The rotating plug makes it nice and compact for travel, but the sliding cover is a bit chintzy and not very satisfying to slide back and forth; I just leave mine open. The build quality of the rest of the charger is adequate, if not bulletproof.

It may not be the cheapest USB charger out there, but for under $15, I'm happy.

BaoFeng UV-5R Camouflage/Green COLOR 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band DTMF CTCSS DCS FM Ham Two Way Radio + Free Earpiece USACan you believe that there is a dual band (2 meter and 440) dual display / monitor ham radio for under $50 that really works? It is a 4/1 watt and seems to be working great. I have three of them and they are excellent for the price. I downloaded CHIRP software for free and use it for programming the radios. At this price, you can carry a radio in each car in case of emergency. I'm buying one for every family member who get their Ham license.

You can also get a 3600 MaH battery for under $20. Now that is what I call a deal. As a side note, Amazon is a great place to buy it from because they stand behind what they sell. I ordered a 5R+ radio that didn't arrive and after three weeks we found it was sitting at the post office. Amazon did all they could to help us find the radio. Hats off to you Amazon. Post office-not hats for you at all. You need to try harder!

A bunch of coworkers and myself bought these radios for our outdoor activites and they are awesome. Cant go wrong with this item.

I find this product extremely convenient and portable for the person who's always on the go.

For the price and portability, I highly recommend the traveler to have one of these devices.

Goal Zero 41001 Switch 8 Silver/Black Solar Recharging Kit

Goal Zero 41001 Switch 8 Silver/Black Solar Recharging KitAs soon as I got the charger in the mail, I pulled it out of the box, plugged in the battery cylinder to the solar panel and threw it on top of my car. About 4 hours later I unplugged the charger from the solar panel and connected it to my smartphone and my phone began to immediately charge from the battery pack! Worked seamleesly.

can slap it on my back or stick it in the back of my car window and charge up things no major issues but it just takes a bit more time then a larger one

This solar charger is very easy to use. We took it out of the box, plugged in the stick that comes with it to store the electricity and charged it up. One full charge allowed me to charge my smart phone two times and my camera once. It is small enough to fit in any back pack or large hip sack. We have taken it to a theme park an outdoor festival and to camp and it is a great accessory.

No problems, good little system, charges smart phone after the battery pack is charged. If you are looking to charge larger electronic items directly get the bigger system. This will suffice though.

eForCity Rapid Car Charger Compatible with Samsung© SCH-A630, SCH-A850, A930, SCH-A950, A970I bought this charger for my A930.

Based on the ridiculously low price of this, I was sure it'd blow up my phone or me or something. But the charger works fine and is great for emergencies when I need to charge the phone in the car. Really, this store's prices just make no sense...but hey, as long as it works I can't complain. I got the charger for just the price of shipping!

The charger works well for our Samsung Cell Phone. Handy to have on long trips.

The item was delivered fast. The cost was unbelievably low. It is an ok product. Won't be using it except in emergency type situations due to its poorer quality fit.... i.e. I am afraid I am going to break it by plugging it into my phone, or worse, break my phone. My phone is old but AWESOME so I don't want to mess up a good thing. I would recommend this company. The product that came was OEM AT&T so I don't think the fit is the sellers issue.

Bearcat BC60XLT-1 Handheld Scanner with 30 Channels and 10 Bands

Bearcat BC60XLT-1 Handheld Scanner with 30 Channels and 10 BandsThis is a basic, entry-level scanner. It has a lot of nice features and the price is low. This is by far the most popular scanner used at NASCAR race tracks. Fans can listen in to the conversations between the pit crews and drivers. If that's all you want, then this radio fits the bill perfectly. It's VERY light weight, and runs a long time on a few AA batteries. If you buy recharable Ni-Cads, the radio can charge them without having to take them out and place them in a seperate changer. I've owned many Uniden products over the years. Never had any problems. That said......

If you want a scanner to listen to your local police, fire, ambulance, etc... This scanner >MIGHT< not be the one for you. This scanner only goes up to 512 Mhz. Many, many emergency services have gone up to 800 Mhz, with sophisticated "trunking" services. Bottom line, this radio can't receive them. To be sure, you should do a search through Google. Try "police frequencies" + (your town or county.) Google should return numerous sites that will show you if your local frequencies are in range of this radio.

Besides the above, you can listen in to aircraft, some Coast Guard operations, trains, taxis, who knows what else.

This is a very nice scanner for the price.

I've owned this scanner for a couple years now and it's been reliable and trouble-free. In the San Francisco Bay Area I get a variety of signals: several police dispatch, security companies, ambulance, taxi, ham, even a neighbor's baby monitor. It has proven to be very sturdy (it's been dropped on a few occasions), and the ability to recharge batteries inside the unit (using the AC adaptor) is a nice feature.

It doesn't recognize that it's plugged in. The overall build of the thing is cheap (which is expected), so even if it worked it wouldn't last long. There are better options here on Amazon.

Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 45 Amp Converter/Charger with Built-in Charg

Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 45 Amp Converter/Charger with Built-in Charge WizardWe are full time RV's. Charger is lightweight and easily fit into the tight space in our RV. Installation was simple and easily used the existing wiring. Charged and maintains our 2 12v batteries very well.

Replacing an older linear 25A unit, it fit right into the available space, and could use entirely existing wiring.

If using stranded main output wire, you might want to crimp on a ferrule, as the (hex-key, not slotted or phillips) 8-32 screws that secure the wire (max. AWG 4) will tend to spread stranded wire; with solid copper this won't be an issue.

From box-open to installed and running took less than 1 hour, mostly hooking up the fuse block (see other reviews).

The Charge Wizard blinked contentedly to itself for about 48 hours, connected to my 2 Marine deep discharge batteries, then went to float. So far I haven't noticed the cooling fan running (at 30A or less). The output seems to be 13.2 VDC, with ripple under load below 120mV according to my DVM.

I bought this unit on the recommendation of two friends who use them in their RVs. They just bought the Charge Wizard plug-in units because their existing inverters had the capability built in, but my old charger was a "cheapy" that put a constant charge on the battery and shortened it's life. Haven't had it in the trailer long, but so far it works great. When I first hooked up this unit it even partially brought the old battery back to life, but ot was too far gone, so I bought a new battery. Since we use our traler infrequently, it is very important to have the battery properly charged. A new battery might only last a year or two at best without the Charge Wizard. My friends batteries are pushing 5 years. Another advantage is that when I fire up the generator out in the boonies the battery will get a fast charge automatically while I'm using the microwave or air conditioner. It was easy to hook up, and of course Amazon's low price and free shipping didn't hurt either.

Replacing the power converter/battery charger in a 1985 Shasta travel trailer. The old setup was 30 amps which is plenty for the minimal power needed, but this 45 amp was priced to beat, so we went with it.

We did have to do some Gerry-rigging due to the age of the old setup. We didn't replace the circuit breaker box, so we had to make some adjustments to get things hooked up with that. We also kept the individual fuse setup from the old system and that took some extra maneuvering.

This converter/charger is working great. It charges the house battery without issue. With ac hookup, we can run everything at once with no blown fuses/circuits. With battery power, we can run the water pump and lights without any issue (before, we never could get the lights to work on battery power).

One note: when inserting the wires, be very careful how much you loosen the screws. They don't unscrew all the way out, and if you unscrew them too far, they move out of alignment and strip and once that happens, there's no fixing it without taking the entire thing out and apart. (We ended up using electrical wire to overcome that little mistake but not before trying to fight it for ages).

If you're replacing a newer setup, it should be a very easy process. If you're replacing an old setup, you may need to work a bit harder, but it will work great.

We have been very impressed by the PD9245CV from Progressive Dynamics. I ordered this unit to replace the Elixir Industries ELX45 45 Amp Solid State Converter/Charger that originally came with our camper. The Elixir serves as the Converter/Charger and the 110v/12v distribution panel for the whole camper and the PD9245CV is only the Converter/Charger, but we didn't want to replace the distribution panel. We always had a challenge with the Elixir unit as we could over load the unit if we used too many things in the camper at once. The fan was also very loud and would run with almost anything on.

The Progressive Dynamics unit is rated at the same amperage as the old Elixir, but operates much much better. We can turn on every 12v device in the camper and the fan doesn't even start running hard. On top of that the fan is very quiet and runs at variable speeds. I had to open the cabinet and put my had over the fan to tell that it was working. Last, but not least, the 4-stage battery charger and maintainer is much better for your deep-cycle batteries than the basic chargers that will gas-off your battery if you leave it plugged in too long. With the Progressive you can plug it in and forget it.

The unit sold from Amazon IS a retail package so it does include the Progressive Dynamics PD 9200 Series Pendant, so you don't have to buy a separate one.

Schumacher SE-1052 50/10/2 Amp Manual Starter/Charger

Schumacher SE-1052 50/10/2 Amp Manual Starter/ChargerI bought this to charge my Mom's car battery which we used several other chargers on that didn't work. This one got it started. I used the 10 amp setting for about an hour then used the 50 amp for a couple of minutes and it started right up. I have the same brand charger that I received about 20 years ago and it still works great. I hope this one lasts as long. It's made of metal and seems pretty sturdy. My only critism is that on my Schumacher charger, there is an on/off setting and on this newer one there is not. Once you plug it in, there's electricity going to the clamps. Make sure you have it connected to the battery before plugging it in.

Does the job. Well. It is not a mobile battery, it is a 3 speed charger. You need to be near an electric outlet. The 50 amp setting will not start a totally dead car, but leaving the charger on 10 amps for just a few minutes and then switching to 50 amp will. Do not leave the charger on 50 amps to charge the battery as this would be dangerous.

Escort Entourage PS Kit-0019 GPS Vehicle Tracker (Black)

Escort Entourage PS Kit-0019 GPS Vehicle Tracker
  • Tamper-sensing technology alerts you when someone tampers with your vehicle

  • Receive instant alerts via email and text message when your vehicle's security is threatened
  • Locate your vehicle using real-time GPS tracking technology from your internet browser or mobile phone
  • Portability allows you to protect your vehicle and belongings with up to 7-day battery life

I bought this to keep tabs on my cheatin' spouse. It is excellent when it works....the only problem is that the coverage is based on the AT&T coverage map and it stinks in my area. When paying 14.95 a month you would think coverage would be better than what it is.....Just check your local AT&T coverage to see how it will work for you.

Battery power is better than I expected...it lasts me about 3 to 4 days depending on how much I locate it or have it scheduled to locate every 10 to 30 minutes. Its larger than I thought it would be so hiding it was a little more difficult but I found a good hiding spot...

It will text or email you when battery is low or car is moved (if it's in good coverage area) Also when the car is moved it will locate the device every 5 minutes for two hours which I liked.

So, all in all, if the coverage in my area was better and it was a bit smaller, it would be perfect!

I have no problem recommending this product. It has worked as advertised and met all my expectations. The pricing is a little high, but as I've learned (read my Zoombak disaster) you get what you pay for. I keep this device in an enclosed trailer for some added security, and when the battery gets low, you are notified. You have unlimited locates, and the shock and perimeter functions work flawlessly as well.

Great product.--aj

I just found the exact same thing on Ebay from eclectic_mart@yahoo.com for $189, free shipping! Called Amazon and they said they will not match the price but will allow me to return it. Sorry, Amazon, I've placed my order and am sending the Amazon one back. Amazon is always a few dollars higher but worth it. This is the first time I've found such a huge discrepency and I will remember to double check Ebay in the future!

I've had it for a couple days now. The battery only lasted a day or two and takes a long time to charge. So I paid Best Buy $100 to have it hard wired directly to the battery in the car my 16 year daughter is using (and my 14 year old son is lusting after). I thought of just clipping the car charger plug off and wiring it myself to the car wiring. Luckily, I did not try this as the plug contains a resistor. The proper way is to buy a female plug that you wire (either always on or just on when the vehicle is on) and permenantly plug the male end into it. Best Buy did a great job of hiding it.

The couple days I've had it has tracked great! It will show the position every ten minutes or you can get continous tracking for ten minute intervals. It show location, speed and direction of the vehicle.

It's pricey at $300 plus $180 for on-line tracking. But after reading all the problems with the competing device, I am very glad I bought this one so far.

It has an arm function that is supposed to alert you by email and by text message to your cell phone if the car is moved. It can be armed from the computer after the car is supposed to be home for the night. This function is not currently functioning on my unit. I emailed tech support today and hope to follow-up here if they respond.

The arm function is great for kids that might make a unauthorized copy of the key and sneak out for a midnight joy ride (not that we parents ever did that smile).

But even if the arm function does not work, I can always have the website plot where the car has been for the last day or for several days and pick up any unauthorized activity.

I think it's cheap for the peace of mind of knowing where my kid and the car are and how fast they are driving!

Ok I have had this for a few days and had my daughter track me while I was out of town and driving around California.

So far it has performed exactly as I had expected and I am pleased.

My daughter calls it very cool. She can follow my travels and know where i am when I am out of town on business.

Things I like are real time tracking so you can put the unit on a vehicle and follow its movements

There is a slight lag and the position when not moving is not perfect. It will give the position to about 15-20 feet,

ie it will show the car parked 2-3 parking spaces away from where it actually is parked in a typical parking lot.

It will also give you a route history and the interface is easy to use.

I have not put the battery time to the test yet. That is what I will do for the next few days.

Good solid product. Worth the money.

Buy it you wont be disappointed.

Installed the product on kids car and we logged in for the first few months to realise our kids were pretty safe drivers and their driving habits were consistent. Texts and emails me constantly with incorrect information. It has become white noise and after a few months, we stopped paying attention to it. I emailed to cancel after the first year subscription was over. Was told my credit card was already charged and they do not provide refunds, but as a super nice courtesy, they would only charge me for the current month, plus one month as well as a $30 activiation fee. There are way cheaper apps for your kids phone that accomplish pretty much the same goals. DONT GET SUCKED INTO THIS PRODUCT!! Most likely you will have to hire someone to install on your car, and that can be expensive.

2 PCS GREEN LED BULB LICENSE PLATE CORNER INTERIOR SUPER BRIGHT LIGHT LAMP

2 PCS GREEN LED BULB LICENSE PLATE CORNER INTERIOR SUPER BRIGHT LIGHT LAMPI replaced my high-mount tail lights with these suckers, as every 6 months a few of my bulbs would burn out. Replacing the rear bulbs with these was relatively easy as they were a good fit, but the lower plastic housing slipped right off when I was installing them. What junk, I had to discard it, but the negative lead on the led is very soft, some sort of junky recycled metal. 4 Stars for cost, shipping and relative use, but the bulb is low quality, and does not emit a huge amount of light. Expect a bit less than your typical incandescent.

Good product, very bright, but I was expecting a tail light bulb(main).

this product was for my reverse lights

Replaces auto type bulb in your RV light fixtures. They will not drain you battery as fast when you are not hooked up to shore power.

These are bigger than stock bulbs but you will like them if they fit. Remember they only work when put in the correct way, so if you can't get them to work just take them out and put it back in the other way.
