This pair is a decent entry level compact two way radios.If you are looking for simple, compact, short range two way radios, this is perfect for you. It's very simple to use, fits right in your palms for easy grip and handling. It's got a belt clip which makes it easy to carry around. You can use the rechargeable batter it packs with or use your own AAA batteries as back ups, which can be helpful on longer trips or usage.
Some of the negatives:
1. this model do not have 'sub-channels'. this can really bother you if you constantly have other users on the same channel jamming.
2. battery level only shows up when it's low. this can be an hassle unless you carry extra AAA batteries.
3. When on 'LOCK' status, you cannot change volume because it locks all the buttons.
4. volume is somewhat low and voice cracks on highest setting

My company has gone through many different brands of walkie Talkies and this is the 4th set of these I have used. They work well, are reilable, and have clear signals most of the time. On occasion we will get some radio noise and have to switch channels, but it is VERY rare. I would reccomend these again and will buy more in the furture as we expand!Want Midland LXT380VP3 24-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair) Discount?
They have a charger so you don't have to keep buying batteries. We put them back in the charger at night and they are ready to use the next day. The sound is clear and very easy to use. Just wish I had bought them sooner.I honestly have nothing bad to say about these. They work incredibly well--even in areas where we'd have no cell phone reception--and are really easy to use. I nearly lost one in some tall grass when it slid off my belt, but the call function made it stand out loud and clear. Couple it with a good security headset, and one of these units is more than dependable.Monday, August 4, 2014

Wireless One Premium Vehicle Charger for Micro USB Phones - Black

Buy Wireless One Premium Vehicle Charger for Micro USB Phones - Black Now
This is nice for a cheap charger,the cord is quite long, the size it's very nice and not big.
The only thing that I would ask is to have more quality in the micro-usb connector, that I know is cheap and might break after a few months, but with a month of use, I really like it!

This doesn't cost much more than the really cheapie ones that have about a 50% shot of not working even straight out of the box, but it feels solid and I've never had a problem with any of them. (I say "any of them" because I tried one and it worked well so I bought two more, and I'm about to order another two.)I use them to charge an HTC Droid. Seems to do the job, though I don't use any of the really power-hogging features of the phone, like GPS, while I'm driving.

I used this to charge my Droid, at least for the month or so it lasted. It just doesn't charge at all anymore. This is the second car charger I've had fail. Maybe the Droid just requires more current than these can reliably provide.Thursday, July 24, 2014

130 Watt Portable RV and Marine Folding Solar Panel Kit with Built In Charge Controller

As for only four stars....I started looking at the catalog and noticed a picture of the same panels (130 watt) but noticed the charge controller had a digital read out. If they really wanted to keep my buisiness they would put that on all panels and forget about a $50 coupon for a very limited selection of there own products! I didn't see that being sold but would have paid $50 more at least!? Marketing!?

PowerFilm R-14 14w Rollable Solar Panel Charger

What I have used it for:
On a sunny day, I took it to the park and laid it out flat on a park bench when the sun was as close to zenith as it can be at noon in WI in the beginning of April. First I charged my I-phone. A simple 12 volt usb adapter plugged into the 12 volt cig. plug did the trick and the phone immediately started charging, no issue with "charging not possible with this accessory" messages like I got trying to use my Brunton 5W thin film charger. This is the 14 watt and worked great, charging the phone just as fast as the wall charger can. Finished with that, I then charged an Ipod. With that at 100 percent, I plugged in a Brunton Solo Batt Pack and started charging 4 eneloop AA batteries. I finally departed with a haze forming in the sky and the sun's angle lower at about 3:30PM. The panel laid flat the entire time and was not canted toward the sun. So, in 3.5 hours, it was able to charge two devices, one from about half charge, the other from below 20%. It also put enough charge into the eneloop batteries to charge my Ipad that night by about 5%. That's not bad when you consider a set of AA charged in a LaCrosse Tech wall charger only charged the Ipad about 17%. In 1.5 to 2 hours it managed to bring the batteries up from a low charge to almost a third of the charge they would have had overnight plugged into the wall.
I can't speak to the panel's ability to charge laptops, but I was surprised when I took my Panasonic portable dvd player and plugged it into the 12 volt cig. plug. It started charging! I am impressed. My advice is go big. I have messed around with the smaller panels because of an acute case of the cheaps. They never did what I wanted them to. Finally getting the panel big enough made all the difference in the world. I would never recommend a panel smaller than 14 watts. I would also recommend that if you want to take one of these panels backpacking, take a foldable one, not the roll. I love the roll model, but it does take up some room and you have to be careful not to squash it flat when it is rolled. Between the Brunton and the Powerfilm (I have both brands) I would definitely recommend Powerfilm. The cells are made in the USA and it just plain works better.

- Dual-Band Display, Dual Freq. Display, Dual-Standby
- extr Baofeng UV-5R Battery

- 128 Channels 50 CTCSS and 104 CDCSS

Yes, you can modify (on your own) the Extended Battery so it will fit the UV-5RA (or the other series of UV-5R radios with modified faceplates), but if the "distributor" lists the UV-5R (but then switches your order to whatever they have in stock instead of what they have listed) and then ships (in the same order) a generic clone Extended Battery that isn't the actual Baofeng AND doesn't work/fit with the radio they shipped, why is it your job to modify their items to make them work?
In addition, when you (as an Amazon customer) point out their multiple listing errors (shipping a non-Baofeng battery, shipping a less than advertised 3600mAH model (vs. the actual Baofeng 3800mAH model that was advertised on the listing), and shipping an Extended Battery that won't work on the UV-5RA radios that they switched your order to and shipped with them in the same box), they claim that:
a) Baofeng doesn't even make an Extended Battery (funny since I own several already with Baofeng Electronics' label on the inside of the case and Baofeng's name imprinted into the back of the plastic battery case), and that
b) if I'm not happy I should pay to ship my order back to them (this is how they treat a customer that ordered multiple radios, extended batteries, and programming cables all at once and paid over $117 in shipping fees)?
None of these issues may bother some folks, especially those that either don't care which model of radio they get and/or never plan to get an Extended Battery as an accessory, but I wanted folks to know what customer service issues you may face in dealing with this Baofeng "distributor" in KY.This is a great two way radio and is dual band. Use it everyday and also use the scanner all the time. This radio does the same functions that radios costing 5 times this price do.
Comes with a extra battery which is convenient so that you always have a fully charged battery and the earbud allows you to use this radio with in meetings and other activities without distracting others around you.It does what is supposed to do. Had a fellow ham use the software and cable to program it and it works great.Supplied instructions are lacking, help is available at the Baofeng UV-5R Yahoo Group. and . Be careful about transmitting before you reprogram it. So good you'll buy another one!I really like it a lot, the only complaint I have is the keys are wearing out rather quickly, Great radio otherwise for the money.

Duragadget® Tomtom car charger for tomtom one v2 v3 v4 one xl 22

I've used it and experienced no problems with it or with my A626 due to the cable. The same cable is usable on many other devices with have the USB 2.0 connector on one end and the mini USB connector on the other end (device end). I have used it to charge and sync my Sony ICRecorder (voice recorder) and it works just fine. It is a standard pin to pin cable and can be used with other devices with a mini USB connector that need to port to a USB connector on modern computers.
WARNING: The picture that Amazon has displayed with this product which I purchased from an outfit in the Old World (United Kingdom) is not a USB cable. It is a picture of a automobile charging cable for the ASUS. I suppose the picture was attached by Duragadget the people who market the product and not Amazon. Still beware that what you see is not what you will get when you order this product!

This is the perfect thing to bring on a trip to visit family, or anywhere else you don't expect to have enough outlets to charge your devices. The one odd thing is that the packaging contains instructions that claim that you can only charge 1 USB device at a time, which is odd for a travel device that has 2 USB outlets. I didn't notice any issues charging 2 but if this is a big concern for you, you might want to investigate further before buying. Overall, I'm glad I own this; it is compact and useful, and the folding plug makes it very easy to pack.Want Macally 3-Outlet Power Strip with USB Charger (Powerelite) Discount?

Schumacher IP-125 Instant Power Jump Starter With 12 Amp Hour Battery

One gripe is that there is no cord to an outlet. You have to provide an extension cord to charge the unit. Make sure it's a heavy gauge cord too.Extremely compact and well "branded."
The clamp handles touch one another, making their release awkward. (This can be overcome by clipping one higher than the other on the case.)
Two problems with the plug prongs. A larger cutout on the case end would permit the use of a wider range of extension cords. (The earlier comment about a computer power cord is excellent.) The prongs are slightly loose and move inward, so that the connection with the cord is marginal.

I have used this for five months now. I love this little battery. It hold a lot of power and starts my car easily when the battery is run down. The price was great and it is easy to recharge.

I wish it had its own power cord.Want Schumacher IP-125 Instant Power Jump Starter With 12 Amp Hour Battery Discount?
I purchased a previous version of this (back then the product name was the "Mighty-Mite") although the color (mine is more towards black) and the graphics have changed. I don't believe the product itself has changed much, with the buttons and lights in exactly the same place.Despite the size, it has worked great over the years. I purchased two back in 2006 and they still work well.
I'm not docking off a star, but there are little things that have to be understood for this product to be more useful. Sometimes the automatic charging system doesn't stop, although the charging current is probably so small that there's little risk of damaging the internal battery. I've found that disconnecting then reconnecting showed a green "charged" indicator in those cases. Since the current draw is pretty small, you can safely use something like a simple household extension cord. Since the plug is recessed, the way I've dealt with it was to use a 2 to 3 prong adapter, which serves as an extension of the plug. The other alternative is to get something like an outdoor electrical cord with an end that will fit in the recessed area. I rather prefer this to the ones with wall-wart adapters, since I can easily obtain replacement extension cords and 2/3 prong adapters on the road and can keep different sets in the house and car. I don't particularly like storing wall-warts in the car, especially given how delicate the thin cable is.
It doesn't come with a male-male cord to recharge off of the 12 V accessory port. You can also use those to maintain the power in a car (like electric presets) when you're changing a car battery. Amazon has it, although Schumacher also sells it directly.

After accidentally including my last set of jumper cables with the sale of my last car, I was in need of new ones!These are long and heavy duty probably overkill for my 1.4L engine, but if you needed to jump a truck, they would be great. The whole assembly is well put together, with good, solid connections from the handles to the cables. They have worked great on a hybrid Highlander and Chrysler 300 (co-worker left the dome light on in the company car...).
If you don't have a lot of space though, skip this set since they are not small.

I have not actually used these yet. I purchased them after having had need of them and not having any. The clamps are tight and cord is a good length. The only thing I don't like is that there is an opening under where you hold the clamps that has a bear wire on the other side. I am not sure if you would be able to touch it through the very small slit but it is something that I have kept in my mind. Over all pretty good quality. Not the kind you would use everyday.Saturday, February 8, 2014

PowerLine 600mA Universal AC Adapter with Compatibility Tips 0900-91 (Bi-lingual)

Pros:
1) LED light turns green when the Adapter is plugged in and drawing electricity.
2) Good variety of tips.
3) Tips fit snug, no worrry of them accidently coming off the cord.
4) Storage case for spare tips.
5) Cable tip is marked to ensure proper polarity.
6) Exceeds value expectation in relation to it's relatively cheap price.
Possible Cons:
1) Product is very light if you abuse it it might have a very short service life.
2) Not really designed for commercial environments or applications. More like a "light to medium" usage item. Definitely not "heavy duty". Then again, you get what you pay for and it was very reasonably priced.
I have been using them for a week so far without any issues. Therefore, I am unable to comment about long term durability.I have been able to use this with several electronic gadgets that either didn't come with adapters or that came with adapters that were later lost. The build quality isn't the best, but you can select your voltage AND your tip. And the price is awesome.

I purchased this power adapter to supply power to the "Petmate Le Bistro Portion-Control Automatic Pet Feeder" which I also purchased from Amazon. Works great! This adapter should work great for you if your device has the round jack on it. With the six voltage settings and different tip sizes, chances are that it will fit your device.Something that is not shown in the product photo is that it comes with a storage canister for the compatibility tips. The canister attaches to the side of the adapter so you will have the tips handy at all times.

12V 7.4AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for APC ES500 ES550 LS500 RBC110 RBC2

Buy 12V 7.4AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for APC ES500 ES550 LS500 RBC110 RBC2 Now
Purchased 2 batteries for a couple of apc ES 550 that have bad batteries. The batteries arrived on time. They look just like the original but with one big difference.The terminals are about half as wide as on the original apc connectors. The cables keep slipping off the terminals on the battery. If you can manage to get the cables to stay the ups charges and works as it should but I left for a few days and turned off the ups, when I returned and turned on the ups it acted as if there was no battery charge. Looked everywhere for the cause and finally opened up the battery compartment and the negative cable was not nmaking contact. Would be a perfect battery if the terminals were a little larger. (wider).I used to buy a lot of APC UPSs because they were cheap on Black Friday. However, the last 5 years or so they have not been on sale and the ones I have are dropping like flies. New ones are $60-80, so I thought I would replace the battery instead. This was my first foray into replacing a battery in a UPS (note I have a fair amount of electronic experience and frequently rebuild Black and Decker drill batteries with the guts from a cheap brand).
I bought this to put into an APC Back-UPS ES 500. This battery physically fits perfectly. It is rated at slightly higher capacity than the original so hopefully that it will provide longer runtime.
Initially it did not function. The terminals on the battery are a little smaller than the connectors in the UPS, so I had to pinch the connectors down a little with pliers to get a good electrical connection. Once I did that it seemed to work fine. At this point only time will tell if it lasts. If it screws up within a year I will post an addendum to that fact.

I had problems with this APC replacement battery from the day I got it. The positive and negative poles are thinner than on original APC batteries, so the wires do not fit tightly and kept coming off. After having to reconnect them several times, I finally had to tapes the wires down with duct tape. Then after about 3 weeks of use the battery died. The APC unit alarmed and the "replace battery" red led came on. Amazon has a no return policy for batteries, so I just went and purchased a new APC es550 at another store. Just to test this replacement battery, I put it in the new APC 550, and again the "replace battery" led came on. So the battery I got is obviously defective. I wrote to ecom electronics and asked for a working battery since I can't return this one. I will post again when I get their response.UPDATE: I just received a replacement battery from ecom electronics. They responded to my post right away and I had the replacement battery within a week. For those reasons I am changing my rating from one star to 3 stars. I will install their new battery and see if it lasts longer than 3 weeks. I will post here again once I determine if the replacement battery keeps working for a reasonable amount of time.
