It works, it's cheap. Nuff said.

(I use it with my Magellan 1700. It has ample amps (the max) so it will charge fast.)

Received quickly from the vendor. Plugged it in and it works well. I use it to plan trips inside the house prior to getting into the car. I find it a critical accessory since the GPS battery has a short life.

This is a surprisingly good product. I have a very good GPS in my car, integrated with OnStar. I bought the Magellan so that I could plug it into a rental car after flying to Florida. I also bought the adapter so that I could program in the places I wanted to visit before I left home in Canada.

The Magellan was quite good almost as good as the one in my car, which cost about 30 times more. It is very easy to program and it is easy to read and hear in strange surroundings. Most of Florida is pretty simple to navigate on one's own but Miami is a nightmare for all but the cognoscenti. There, the Magellan was dead-accurate. I would have been lost without it. It saved my bacon several times.

My only quibble would be the geeky voice with a Spanish accent, but I guess that's the state of the art. Also, be careful programming the right options. If you "minimize freeways," Magellan can take you on a horrendous detour to save a two buck toll. Once I made this mistake once and realized the error, there was no problem.

I purchased the Magellan OEM power AC adapter in August 2011 but didn't open the package until February 2012. The cord was enclosed but not the part that plugs in to the outlet. I contacted this company knowing too much time had lapsed to return but expected at least some response. Received no acknowledgement from them at all.

Tripp Lite PV3000HF Compact Inverter 3000W 12V DC to AC 120V 2 5-15R; 2 5-20R

I installed this on a truck for a rancher. He needed to use electric saws, drills, and such that can usually require a generator. I tried to suggest a generator but he thought this would be better. It has been running find for a year now and he couldn't be happier. Not having to fool with gas, oil, stink, noise make this a pretty good choice. Flip the switch, plug in and use.

There is an oddity or feature about this. It saves power by a sort of use test. If you don't set the setting correctly smaller tools will not enable the unit. I think the thing can be set pretty low. Just be warned that if you try to change a cellphone it may not work on some settings. This turn off (battery save) feature may take maybe 1/4 of a second or so to bring online. Not any big deal but a small moment of start up wait. After it is on it is on until it decides to power save again. Might be able to set full power all the time if needed.

I have a few smaller of these that are on the limit of usability for hand power tools. On my first test setup with this and an old battery it proved to be more than up to the task. A test with a circular saw on wood didn't slow down the saw, a heavy duty electric impact hammer pulled off lug nuts. It can run a large hammer drill easily.

The actual install was two good batteries and some 0 gauge wire from each battery to the quad input posts. Dual grounds also. Might be you could use 3 or 4 batteries if you have to keep using this to the limits and be sure that ever watt you use needs to be charged back up as soon as possible.

It is kind of small looking, that worried me at first. Kind of lightweight too.

The remote is one of the best features. It turns it off and tells battery status and load from inside the truck.

I had to mount it in a weather proof electric box that the owner could open on hot days or high loads. I was worried about heat but the fans almost never turn on. I guess you could use it inside a box for light loads.

The only downside is the quality of the current. Unless you purchase a true sine wave you end up with a stepped square wave. Not a big deal but some TV's and other things that are made for 50 hz seem to act up a bit. The tv brightness was much dimmer. I had to use one of these in a power outage for a few hours off a truck battery.

I was impressed with this. You just have to have some monster cables and connections. A big fuse is suggested. All in the owners manual. The manual is generic for a few models but clear and contains all you need to setup and use.

Be sure you understand the safety issues. Almost impossible to ground this setup in a mobile install.

When you put a low charge to this it doesn't send the 110 V. It sends about 90V and you have a risk to damage the device plugged. when it sends the 110V works great and it's really quiet. it saves the battery very well. In general terms it's a very good product

Great inverter, no problems. It's not pure sinewave, but it powers everything I've put on it except microwaves. Electronics, tv, xbox all work fine. I ran a large water pump that will trip out my 2000W Honda. I use 4 deep cycles with heavy gauge (double 4/0) cable to get the full output. Anything less and it's just a bigger 2000W inverter.

One drawback is that it's not efficient for light load. If it's on, it's always trickling some current out of the batteries. Six to eight amps. There's an adjustable power sensor on it that drops the voltage off if theres not enough load and is supposed to be more efficient. I've never gotten it to work well and the Xantrex's do this automatically. My minifridge could be left to run over the weekend on those on a single deep cycle. This one will drain four deep cycles in 36 48 hours.

Dual Pro 10 Amp/Bank Sportsman Series 3 Bank Charger

Charger is working well so far. Had 1 battery run down brought it back up quickly. Charger is heavy for one person to install.

My husband and I bought this charger in August of this year. We have a R71 Ranger boat and needed something that would charge 4 batteries (two of the batteries are in tandem for a 24 volt trolling motor). We had been using two separate Cabela's brand chargers made by ProMariner. The Cabela's units did not last long at all so we decided to research other brands. This one stood out from all the rest. The big plus for us is that this unit is made in U.S.A. Even though it was more expensive than other brands we decided to try it. So far we have not been disappointed. Our first impression upon opening the box was that this unit was of quality construction. The cables were very thick unlike the battery chargers we had used in the past. The unit is also quite heavy. The charger was bigger than we ones we had before, but since we only had one unit to install instead of two it fit into our boat quite nicely. The readouts are very easy to see. So far we have not had any issues with it and are very pleased with the construction and performance of this charger. One unexpexted feature that we found really helpful is the unit comes with a cord keeper for the charger cord. Once installed the charger cord clips into the holder which keeps it out of the way. It's nice not having to dig around for the charger plug, plus the plug now stays clean and dry since it doesn't fall down into the battery compartment. We would highly recommend the Dual Pro Sportsman Charger.

Optima Batteries 8004-003 34/78 RedTop Starting Battery

I'll try to get this right, but some of the background info regarding Optima history may be off by a year or two.

First: 4 star rather than a 5 star rating. The warranty would need to match the longer warranties offered by others, and quality control tightened to earn five stars. Performance is normally excellent, so why not offer a longer warranty?

Gates Tire and Rubber invented/ designed/ developed the Optima and Genesis AGM batteries in the '80's/ early '90's. As I understand things, the Optima was intended for rugged/ abusive applications requiring the highest starting current, while the Genesis was intended for more sedentary uses and maximized charge/ volume by using flat plates. Both minimized venting and maintenance requirements.

The Optima brand was spun off to a Swedish company but the batteries continued to be manufactured in Aurora, CO. Johnson Controls purchased the Optima brand in ~2000 and continues to own the brand. All mfg was moved from Aurora to a suburb of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, around late 2007. Genesis was spun off to Enersys, which used YAUSA to mfg these in China, Mexico and who knows where; I believe their premium Genesis EP series are made in Warrensburg, MO.

Optima Red Top battery design changed sometime in 2007. Apparently the glass mat was often pinched/ crimped leading to premature shorting and failure. Ratings of the 34/78 Red Top was reduced from 55 Ah to 50 Ah, the CCA rating remained at 800, and curiously, the warranty was reduced from 3 yr free replacement + 3 yr prorated, to 3 yr free replacement + 0 yr prorated. This roughly corresponded with moving the production to the Monterrey suburb, although a number of the newer style batteries were still made in Aurora in 2007. From my experience with a number of both batteries, the older Red Top 34/78, 55 Ah batteries were either the very best or very worst depending on the luck of the draw. All seem to lose Voltage faster than the newer design, but they were still much better than conventional flooded lead acid batteries, and generally tested above 10.5 V 2.5 years after mfg. If allowed to run down while on the pallet and then charged, these frequently would experience thermal runaway unless charged at a low rate, and if that problem was not incurred, they would frequently charge up only to fail open after, say 15 seconds at a 400 or 500 A draw. Optima apparently was aware of the problem yet did not tell customers. Optima sold a number of these for military applications, too, but it seems did nothing to correct the problem; nice to know when someone is shooting at you. But those that sat on the pallet for a long time of the older-design and that passed the high current load test seemed to surpass the performance of the newer design. Some batteries that failed early or lost Voltage quickly were found to be missing a vent cap. (Missing caps are rare, but they sometimes aren't there and are not noticed unless the cover is pried off. Optima may not even believe this.) Great quality control for a premium product.

All but about 5 or 50 batteries of the newer design left on the pallet for 4 years tested at 11.0 V or higher, so those claiming leakage should look for a electric system parasitic draw rather than blaming the battery; newer design charged Optimas just don't normally lose Voltage in a couple of months.

Because of their lower internal resistance, Optimas can accept a higher rate of charge and require less energy to fully charge.

Normal operation

Keep the battery at or above 12.5 V as much as possible to minimize sulfation. Spiral wound AGM batteries, while more resistant to sulfation, will sulfate and reversing it is tougher than with flooded lead acid batteries. NEVER allow the battery to fall below 10.5 V; recovery will be tough if below that and irreversible damage may result if left below that Voltage for long. Red Tops are not meant for deep cycling, which means these are intended to be charged soon after starting the engine.

A major cause of warranty claims for AGM batteries, not just Optimas, is early sulfation due to failure to fully charge the battery, which many charging system in late model vehicles fail to due in order to improve fuel economy so ever little. GM vehicles may be more likely to fully charge AGM batteries because their charging systems are reportedly set to a Voltage higher than other vehicle manufacturers; their OEM Delco batteries have larger spacing requiring higher Voltage to fully charge. Many battery chargers also fail to adequately overcharge the battery whereby the battery undergoes the full recombinant reactions restoring full performance. But it is also important not to overcharge the battery such that loss of electrolyte and overheating occur.

Best non-commercial battery charger for Optimas I have used so far: Interacter Inc. (and mfg in the USA), seems to give better end performance than CTEK 7002's. Both gave better results than Vector chargers, which performed okay on Optimas 11.5 V or higher, but the Interacter and CTEK would charge Optimas that had fallen to just a few Volts without having to resort to wiring the Optima battery in parallel with a battery already at 12+ Volts to fool the charger into charging, (Optima's recommended procedure for charging a depleted battery). Also, Interacter seemed to give about the right amount of overcharging. (Many smart chargers see the low Voltage/ low internal resistance as a failed battery and thus refuse to start charging.) Please do not try charging a battery less than 12 V below freezing; warm the battery to above freezing first, and do not forget a discharged battery allowed to freeze will likely suffer irreparable damage. If hot spots develop or venting occurs while charging, stop charging. Resume at a low rate after the battery has cooled. A battery that has been left setting for a long time at a low Voltage should be charged at a very low rate for the majority of charging. This can be followed by a high rate charge, say 50 A, for several minutes while ensuring no over heating or venting, to help restore performance. High-rate charging may open additional surface area that had been heavily sulfated and reduce grid point discharging (?).

All Optimas are not created equal. When performing high current load tests to evaluate the CCA ratings, I have seen 5 of 7 fully charged batteries from the same layer on a pallet fail open within seconds, and 13 of 44 on that pallet fail open, only to see none fail from other pallets of the same lot. Some batteries left uncharged on the pallet for several years perform as well as a factory fresh battery, and batteries left on the pallet for less than a year fail open during testing. Why? Do not expect an answer from Optima.

Charging Yellow Top(deep cycle/ starting) Optima batteries

Surprisingly, the Yellow Top batteries seem to lose Voltage a little more quickly than Red Top, but still both are less than flooded lead acid batteries. Now for charging, it is assumed the Voltage is at or above 10.5 V and that the battery has been in recent use. (Remember, never allow the Voltage to drop below this or expect the worst.) For a 50 Ah Yellow Top, charging can be fast, say 30 to 50 A, until reaching the Zero dV/dt, (Zereo Delta), point, at which reduce charging to 1 to 5 A and continue, charging an additional 3 to 5 Ah after reaching Zero Delta. New batteries may take 30 minutes for this last stage, while older batteries, 2 or 3 hours. This may extend battery life from 200 deep cycles to deep 500 cycles. NOTE: This is a general charging guideline and it is the responsibility of the reader/ user to ensure safe operation at all times. If using this charging technique, first review research articles found by Googling "national renewable energy lab, Optima battery, charging".

I hope this will help those who already have an Optima battery or thinking about purchasing one. Please share your experience if you have some better ideas and techniques.

I bought this battery from a local Optima dealer on January 2008. It died on August 2009.

Since it comes with a three year warranty, I tried to get it serviced under the warranty by calling the Optima 1-800 number. Customer service agent was very rude and kept telling me I'd have to pay a fee in order to get my battery serviced.

Perhaps I just haven't had a new battery in a while and I've forgotten how they all work when new, but this battery seems to throw a LOT more power than I expected to the engine to start it up on even the coldest days so far this year. If this battery can perform at this level for a couple years, it'll have been the best battery I've ever bought. At this point though, expensive compared to the "el cheapo" brands you may find at walmart, but worth it knowing it's got the juice to get it done.

I bought this battery in May 2009. It just suddenly failed Dec 2010. Just over 1 1/2 years. I originally bought the battery for my Mustang because of the early reviews and the 800 amp capacity. Perfect for my car. Now, researching why the battery died so suddenly and quickly I read on another site that it really is a good, powerful battery just you have to disconnect it when you're not driving so the trickle doesn't drain the battery. The stock battery that was with my car when I bought it lasted over 3 years (plugged in the whole time.) I read enough about Optima's poor customer service and not honoring their warranty that I'm not even going to bother trying to get warranty service thru them. I checked with the local Ford dealership, a mechanic friend and a rep at Advanced Auto Parts and they all agreed that it sounded like the battery was the issue ("a short inside the battery.") In fact, after I described what happened to the Advanced Auto Parts rep and he recommended getting a new battery, I told him the problem battery was an Optima and he called across the store to another worker, "Hey, Carl! I got another customer here with your favorite battery!"

I highly recommend that anyone avoid the Optima batteries. They will give you great starting power in your car, but they appear to have a habit of dying suddenly and without warning about 18 months in. Mine was great the last time I drove, then after not driving for 2 days, I got in the car and the battery was totally dead. (And I'd gotten back at night the last time, so I'm sure the lights were off they shine right on my garage door.)

I'd only recommend this battery to someone who just needed a battery to connect to as needed. The rest of the time, it could just sit there. Or if you live in a cold climate and are okay with changing car batteries out every year.

I bought my first Optima battery for my '96 GMC C1500 with a vortec 5700 in 1998. This battery has been through all kinds of weather from New Mexico to 4 years in Germany, a couple years in Seattle, and the last 4 years in TX. I have drained this battery dead at least 4 times and it recovered/recharged every time except for this last weekend. My truck has been parked for most of the last month since the a/c is out and the temps her in TX have been 100+ for the last 2 months. I finally killed it for good... after 13 "short" years of life. I have replaced the batteries in all 3 of my vehicles with Optima's since then and will be buying another Optima for my truck. I'm sure this battery will outlast the truck this time. I'm SOLD!!!!

Can 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!

The item arrived promptly and appeared to work, but the connector to the phone would not stay in place. I discovered that the metal clasps in the connector were installed backwards. So I carefully pried open the connector and reversed the position of the metals clasps. That solved the problem.

The product is a low dollar product, so all I expected is for it to charge the phone battery. That's all it does. Unlike the factory version, the phone does not show that it is being charged, it just shows a 'full' battery when the charger is plugged in. Still, for the price, I have no complaints other than the minor inconvenience of having to fix the connector.

Yamaha EF3000iSE 3,000 Watt 171cc OHV 4-Stroke Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator With Electri

I purchased this generator from a local camper dealer about 3 years ago so we could camp in the parking lot at our kids colleges. The electric start is a nice feature and if I was to buy another one I would get it with the remote START/STOP feature. I found a place that I can order it to add to mine. There is enough power to run one AC, any lights you want, TV, water pump all at the same time. Fuel consumption is very low. I haven't clocked the hours per tank, but we take it to a state part in Connecticut where there is no power at all and can get through 3 or 4 days on a tank full. There is also a option to add a propane fuel supply. This is also one of the quietest generators I have heard in the campgrounds. You can stand right beside the unit and have a normal conversation. I wish Yamaha would make a model to install in my 5er so I didn't have to load it into the truck. It's a bit heavy so I am going to add a hoist to my garage to help with the loading now that the kids are no longer at home.

I am very happy with this generator, does everything I hoped for, and more. The hardest part was installing the battery, made me nervous filling battery with acid. But, following the instructions it went without a hitch. I thought they forgot to include the battery strap since it was not on the battery when I took it out of generator. But, I found it lying in the battery compartment way in the back. So check if you do not see yours, it is a rubber strap. Adding the oil is a little tricky, I bought a funnel that twist around for the job. The motor wants to RUN..... after gassing up I hardly pulled the cord and it took off. I let it run for 30 minutes to charge the battery. I shut it off, and restarted it using battery power, again it took off like a shot. In the mean time I installed a transfer switch on my furnace, a couple days later. Testing the generator on the furnace I hooked up the generator, again it took off like a shot. It ran my furnace with no labor what so ever. I am ready for the ice and snow this time. Last winter I was without power 4 days, no heat no lights, no fun. Oh, yes it is a little heavy, I can lift one end, but not the whole thing, but it is on wheels, so I can move it around my garage no problem. Kind of wish the smaller wheels would swivel, then I would not have to lift and move one end, to steer it around. Yes, it is expensive, but quiet and runs smooth and worth every penny. EF3000ISE

I highly recommend this product. I got this generator after Hurricanes Frances & Jeanne hit our state, knocked out our power for 10 days.

The first generator I got out of desperation, it was hot and we lost a refrigerator full of food...this generator was horribly loud & I knew it would be a matter of time before the neighbors complained. Thankfully I was able to sell it the following day and I immediately ordered 2Yamaha 3000 generators, I own a duplex so the neighbor had to get one too.

Wow, what a huge difference! Even with 2 generators going at once it was much quieter than my vacuum cleaner. I was able to connect my refrigerator, TV, a standing lamp and a window AC (5,000watt) unit for nighttime use. When Jeanne hit everyone in Lighthouse Point FL seemed to have purchased those ear busting generators!

Needless to say I am very happy and pleased with my Yamaha generators. When Wilma hit in 2005 we were out of power for nearly 2 weeks and those generators came in handy. On a full tank (energy save switch on) they will last through the night 7-8 hrs. I would shut them down for the morning, refill the tanks and have them on in the afternoon.

You get what you pay for and these are excellent generators, very quiet, great for hurricane season and for camping, any outdoor events where you need power, it will do the job. Maintenance is easy, just like maintaining the engine of a car, you have to do the same with a generator. Change the oil/filter/spark plug and follow storage protocol.

We use the product on an RV every year. It's power saver feature insures the unit will run all night keeping you warm or cool (if you remember to turn it on).

It is pricey but worth it. Must say I am curious about the higher power unit available now, but so far have never needed any more power. If you are looking for quality and dependability, this is your generator. We have been using this for 6+ years without complaint.

Works perfect so far, hope in the future as well. I connected two Dewalt charges at the same time

and I did not see any excessive heat. Good buy, recommend.

Solidly made transformer that works step up or down (220 110 or vice versa). I have only used it for step-up. Slightly crudely finished not quite the polished exterior and all around superb quality you get from a Tacima but solidly made and does the job without overheating. Minor quibble is that it comes with a European electric plug and an adaptor that converts the two round prongs to US-style straight prongs. Problem is that ignores the earth (which in a European plug is at the edge). Best to chop off the wire and attach a new earthed US plug if you're using it in the US.

I received the product damaged. One of the switches (either the up-down or on-off) was broken. Made in China. Quality and finish was poor as was the packaging. It uses a heavy transformer, it may be able to support 150W but I never got to the point of testing it so it is not fair to completely write off the product or seller.

We bought this for a trip to Rome it worked exactly as expected no problems at all. We will use it again the next time we travel overseas.

This was one of two converters we purchased in prep for an 8 day trip to Spain. It stopped working after day 3 still not sure why. The other converter from a different manufacturer worked great the entire trip.

I also had difficulty with my Chi (hair straightener) with this model. At times during the first 3 days of the trip, the Chi would not work with this converter, yet worked fine with the one from Simran.

This item is also very heavy as noted in the other reviews. I would recommend purchasing a different model and forgo the purchase of this one.

Lenmar AIDCU4 Dual USB Car Charger, High Output 4.2A for 2 iPads(4,3,2), iPhone 5, iPhone 4/4s, iPa

I'm a portable power sponge -I absorb all I can get. I'm often working on the road while my significant other drives. This keeps my droid bionic and my Nexus 7 charged (yes, at the same time!) while we are cruising down the road. Most chargers allow a slow drain -or they just don't really charge (but rather maintain) these two device at once. Not this little guy. Nice!

This is a very sturdy, quality charger. I have had others that turned out to be rather flimsy; they would wiggle in the socket, loose connection, fall apart, etc. This one has very stiff spring-loaded contacts which are elongated to make a very secure connection. I used the charger with different combinations of smart phones, GPS units, Kindle Fire tablet, and a blue tooth receiver. The charger performed correctly with all combinations of devices and it seems to put out the rated current because none of the devices reported that they were in slow or "trickle" charge mode. I was also pleased to find out that it is smaller than I expected and it does not project out from the socket very far at all. The USB ports also have an up angle which works well for me since my cigarette lighter socket is fairly low in my car. This makes it a little easier to insert USB cables. Overall the charger does what it is supposed to and seems solid enough to last a long time.

Many USB car chargers claim to charge two devices... very few actually can. Most of the chargers that looks like this one have either two 1Amp plugs or one 2.1Amp and one 1Amp or some other variation. You see, the problem is that if you have two devices that need more than 1Amp, then you're not really charging them both. This charger provides two 2.1A slots, so go ahead and charge your ipad and galaxy pad... it will work just fine :D

I combined this with two of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DVMRXG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_45

This is a pretty typical charger. Plug it in to the cigarette lighter and provide your own USB chargers to charge up to 2 items at a time. It's supposedly faster than others due to the high output but I didn't have anything similar to compare it. Note it doesn't come with USB cables just the charger.

Car Charger for Palm Pixi Plus

I bought 2 of this item thinking it would be as good of a quality as all the other items I have ever purchased on Amazon.com. Boy was I truly misled. The chargers aren't as effective as another I purchased at Big Lots. Also the cord is not long enough as the original, or others I have bought. So I would NOT recommend this product to anyone.

Peak PKC0AR Car to Car 12 V DC Plug to Plug Battery Charger/Starter

My title tells you most of the story about this. It will pass some power from one car to another thru the lighter outlets, but we're talking "trickle charge" power, not "Instant starting/boost" power. If you have a good car battery but left your lights on while you went into a movie or such, this can recharge it, but will probably take 15-30 minutes (or more depending on how totally drained it is). However, if the dead car battery is bad and won't hold a charge, you don't want to wait that long, or you have other car problems (like something draining power), this won't work for you and you're better off with the old jumper cables. They say in the manual "Let it charge for 5 minutes until the green LED comes on, then disconnect it and try starting the car" followed by "If it doesn't start, let it charge another 5-10 minutes and try again", but at the under 5 amp rate I'd bet my 15-30 minutes minimum is more realistic.

Some other details if your interested, this device actually "Pumps" power where I connected it between 2 batteries and the "Good/source" battery dropped to 12.5V while the "Bad/charging" battery went up to 15V (and since I know 15V+ is "Overcharging", I pulled the plug there). Seeing the voltage go that high tells me it doesn't regulate the output power (and they even say on the box "Puts out 16-17V"), so you'd never want to use this to connect 2 batteries together and go off leaving them. I also checked the current draw and it pulled 2.7 amps while putting 1.8 amps into the other battery. My battery I tested with may not have been very drained, but still the

Black Premium Rapid Car Charger (with IC CHIP) for Sony Ericsson TM506

The Rapid charger works almost as well as my charger at home. It does exactly what I need it to do. The Sony Ericsson TM506 does not maintain power for long periods of time compared to other cell phones I've owned, so this product is a necessity for me.

Solar 2 Go ISB-RL01 10 Watt Portable Solar Power Kit

I ordered this product from Amazon and received it the day before Hurricane Irene arrived at my summer home in CT (well, TS Irene, by the time she crossed Long Island Sound). We were without power for 5 days, and I used this product to keep my DSL modem & laptop powered so I could work (yes, the landphone and DSL kept on working, even as cell service was disrupted for 2 days).

The supplied battery took about 10 hours of full sunlight to charge, and was depleted in about 7 hours, so I called the company also in CT, I was surprised to learn and found it can be used to charge a larger deep-cycle battery although of course the charging time would be much longer. So I bought a fully-charged marine deep cycle battery and ran the computer & network off that, while recharging the smaller battery to use in the evening to run my TV and satellite box. Between that and my stock of batteries and lanterns, battery fans, wind-up radio etc., I was able to relax while my neighbors drove miles looking for open gas stations to replenish their thirsty generators.

After we got power back, I used the solar panel to charge the marine battery back up over the course of a couple of days. I love this convenient little kit, and will look into buying a spare battery like the supplied one, which would enable continuous portable use.

I purchased this portable power kit recently from another site and happy to now see it here on Amazon! The kit comes with everything you need including a Charge Controller, Inverter and battery! I run my laptop off the 300 watt Inverter and am able to be outdoors and have my portable power kit with me. We can even run our new LED T.V. off of it, This is awesome! A great feature is the LED lighting strip that we use at night on the deck. Everyone that comes over loves it, it's quite the conversation piece. I will let family and friends know they can purchase them here----great product!

Black Vertical Premium Leather Holster Carrying Case with Removable Belt-Clip for Verizon Wireless

PRO: Great Deal! Has belt loop or install a clip option. Nice quality construction. Has a retractable cable car charger and wall charger. Keeping this kit just for the chargers as spares to travel.

CON: Will only fit the OEM size battery and back shell without a case cover as it is a very snug fit. Extended battery with case and cover won't fit for the Droid Incredible 2 in this holster.

Chargers do not have USB external plugs like OEM units. Kit does not have a retractable data cable as other sellers have availble.
