AmazonBasics Vehicle Power Cable with Mini-USB Connector for GPS and Other Mini-USB Devices

AmazonBasics Vehicle Power Cable with Mini-USB Connector for GPS and Other Mini-USB Devices
  • Compatible with nĂ¼vi series GPS navigators
  • Powers your GPS from vehicle cigarette lighter outlet
  • Replaceable Fuse
  • Voltage: 5VDC; Amperage:1A
  • Works in US, CN, JP, DE, UK, FR
  • Ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging

I've had my Garmin nuvi for a couple of years now. I do not use it on a daily basis but use it on longer trips or in unfamiliar cities. The problem I had in the past was that it would work great for about two hours. Then the battery would run down, I would plug in the Garmin cable I got with the unit but the screen was dim. It worked but you really couldn't read it if you were driving (fine if I had a second person along to read and navigate). I know, I know I should have called tech support long before now. I even bought an extended warranty on it but never called them. I just didn't use it very often and just kept forgetting.

All that written I LOVE this new power cable. I don't know if the other was defective but this one works like its supposed to. The screen on the Garmin stays bright all the time it is plugged in. We took an extended trip to Portland this past week, used it the whole time up there, and it worked perfectly. I'll be using it much more now.

1. I liked the packaging. Extremely easy to get into and cable was packed well.

2. I like the right angle USB mini plug and that the cable goes BEHIND the Garmin when plugged in, out of the way.

3. Cable is plenty long for my use. It reaches mid-dash from the cigarette lighter plug and also reaches passenger seat easily if using navigator.

4. Cable is very sturdily built with nice bright blue light showing that it is charging. The light is easy to see even in strong daylight. The cord is sturdy. The USB plug fits snugly into my Garmin and charging end fits snugly but not too tight into the cigarette lighter. It is sturdy but still coils fairly easily to stow in glove box when not in use.

In my case, I would buy this over a Garmin power cord any time.

I purchased this to power my newly-purchased Garmin 62s, but it turns out the plastic head around the mini USB connector is too large to fit into the port on the back of the 62 series. I did read the description here, and I'm aware it isn't specifically listed to support the 62 series, but it was linked as something people bought who also bought the 62s, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Amazon was great about their return policy on this, as they just replied "keep it it's on us" due to the return shipping costs. I found another adapter that is listed to specifically fit the 62 series on Amazon here: Vehicle Power Adapter Cable for Garmin Oregon 200 300 400 450 550 Approach G3 G5 Colorado 400 300 Dokata 10 20 GPS Series GPSMAP 62 78 I C T S PN010-10851-11 the key is to search on Garmin's part number 010-10851-11

I would have rated it 5 stars if the AmazonBasics adapter had just been a little bit smaller on the plug end so it would fit the 62 series, although the right-angle would put the cable coming off the top of the radio rather than down the back it still would have been usable without needing to trim the plastic surrounding the mini USB plug.

I've had a Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator since December 2008, and it's served me well. However, the power cable that came with the unit from the factory in the last few weeks before I got this AmazonBasics model has been acting weird. The old power supply didn't work right 100% of the time, that could be from a couple of years of in/out in/out in the power adapter slot. Anyways, the timing of this AmazonBasics unit was fortuitous.

I picked one of these AmazonBasics power cords up, and it works perfectly. This is one of those devices where it's hard to do a "big" review, because it either works or it does not. This works. A few cosmetic differences between this and the factory model are all I can talk about, really.

1) The AmazonBasics unit has a smaller cord than the factory unit. Inside a car, this should be a non issue, but it does have a somewhat smaller cord.

2) The blue power light on the AmazonBasics unit is MUCH brighter than the red light that was on my factory unit.

These are both very minor nits, the thing works great, and if you need one of these for your Nuvi, I'd say go for it.

You never know with these cables. Corners are often cut, leaving something that easily falls out of the cigarette lighter or that makes a faulty mini-USB connection, etc. But none of that here: this does what you need and it is surprisingly well put together. Recommended, and solid for the price: beating out many of the OEM equivalents that come from device manufacturers for half the price.

It's nice to have an option to replace a Garmin car power cord with something other than Garmin's own. While this generally isn't a place to rate a product based on its price, I will at least mention that I would hope Amazon would make this a hefty amount lower than Garmin's own (Garmin nüvi Vehicle Power Cable).

As for the cord, it is sturdy and seems to be of good quality and it worked just fine with my Garmin nuvi 1690 4.3-Inch Portable Bluetooth Navigator with Google Local Search & Real-Time Traffic Alerts. The only difference is the length. Both my nuvi 205w and 1690 have a power cord that is 14 inches longer than this Amazon Basics cord. The way that I have my GPS mounted, this cord is not long enough. For many people, this 14 inch length difference may be a welcome feature because of too much slack.

As long as you verify that you don't need those extra 14 inches, this cord is perfectly fine.

Briggs & Stratton 30470 7,000 Watt 420cc Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit

Briggs & Stratton 30470 7,000 Watt 420cc Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel KitI considered many of the alternatives before purchasing the B&S 30470, and I'm happy with my decision.

I was hoping to find a model that was not manufactured in China because there have been a lot of quality control problems with hardware (and food products) that come out of China and when you are purchasing a 200 pound product, you really don't want to take a chance on having something go wrong that will require you to bring it/ship it somewhere because of a problem. Unfortunately, it seems that virtually all of the generators in this price range are manufactured in China, including this one. B&S is a US company, but as others have noted in nearby reviews: much of their manufacturing is in China. But since they are a US company and they do have a brand name to protect, that was slightly reassuring. Also, if something ever does go wrong with it, there are plenty of small engine shops around that should be able to work on it.

The Honeywell models also seemed interesting, but I got cold feet when I found where one person had published a lot of false information about them on Amazon, Home Depot, and one or two other web sites. Investigating further, I found that they are made by a small company in the Midwest that licenses the Honeywell brand name and, like B&S, does their manufacturing in China.

It's loud, but quieter than I expected. For a neighborhood where the houses tend to be at least 50 yards apart, this is not an intolerable noise level in my judgment. It seems to be no louder, and might actually be quieter, then the generators that my neighbors run. If you are really worried about noise, spend an extra $3000 and purchase a Honda inverter generator.

It starts right up and smooths out pretty quickly. It hardly skips a beat when you throw a load on it.

A nice touch is the recessed well around the gas tank filler spout any spills will tend to stay right near the filler neck and can easily be wiped up.

Some things could be better:

1) The ignition switch and key are so cheesy that I decided it would be smartest to leave the key in the switch permanently. This is my biggest complaint and Briggs and Stratton need to do better.

2) It's good that it comes with a low-oil cutoff system, but the manual indicates that the only way you know if that system is working is if it won't run. Since a lot of other things might cause it to not run, it would be nice if there was an indicator of some sort telling you that the low-oil protection system had disabled it.

3) Since I'm using this to power my service entrance panel (I have an interlock in the panel that prevents backfeeding), and since the neutral and ground are bonded in the panel, I need to modify the generator to have a "floating neutral", instead of the "bonded neutral" that it came with. The majority of portable generators have this same issue: very few are shipped with a floating neutral. That's fine if you want to use it standalone to run extension cords, power tools, etc, but it's wrong for powering a house when there's a service interruption. All of the manufacturers need to do a better job of documenting this requirement and making the configuration change easy to accomplish. Briggs and Stratton doesn't even talk about it in the manual, but they did respond when I e-mailed them and they did assure me that this modification would not void the warranty.

4) It would be really nice to have a gauge that showed me what my current load is, or at least what my peak load has been. I calculated that this model would be big enough to run the refrigerator, the well pump, the furnace, and a few other things, but it would be reassuring to have a gauge tell me that I am/am not approaching the maximum load that this model was rated for.

I had contemplated that I would manage concerns about stale gas by adding fuel stabilizer to the gas and also by shutting off the fuel valve and then letting it burn up the gas that remained in the carburetor, but the fuel valve trick is not a good idea. In order to produce the correct 60 Hz electrical frequency, the engine needs to run at constant speed. If you start to starve the engine for fuel, it spends a couple of minutes revving up and down as the fuel mixture becomes leaner and leaner, before it finally uses up everything in the float bowl. I concluded that it was better to just shut it off with the key, leave fuel in the carburetor, and go with the fuel stabilizer.

My garage doesn't really have room to store a generator, and even if it did: I don't like the idea of dragging this out into the driveway or over a snow bank when I need to use it. I wound up building a small shed to store it in. I designed it so that the roof tips up and all four sides can come off when I want to run it. That allows for plenty of ventilation and cooling, but provides a stable place, out of the way, to store it. And since the roof tips up but stays on the shed, it has some amount of protection from rain and snow that it wouldn't have if I was just wheeling it out into the driveway.

So far, I've only used it a couple of times but I've been very happy with it and it seems to provide ample power to run the things I need the most when the power goes out: submersible pump, oil furnace, refrigerator, a few lights and etc.

I am a Consumer Reports subscriber (magazine and online), this generator is brand new for 2010 and it has not yet been reviewed by Consumer Reports. The last ratings they have for generators was in June of 2009, one of the top ranked then was Briggs and Stratton model#30242. I purchased model#30470 from Ace Hardware because at the time it was cheaper than Amazon(same price now).

This generator comes almost fully assembled, all I had to do was put on the wheels and add oil, (provided) gas and connect the negative battery terminal. It started with the key on the first try and I don't think it is loud at all, my neighbors even commented on how quiet it is for a generator (my Echo Backpack leaf blower (74 dB(A) is almost as loud as this generator). I have run this generator at half-load 3,500 running watts using 30 and 20 amp extension cords and have had no problems. I fully expect this generator to handle the brutal New England winters without a problem.

Living in a house that has well water with 3 young kids and the fact that neighborhood looses power frequently and with a history of multi-day outages, made the purchase of a generator a necessity.

I spent weeks researching generators, and kept coming back to the B&S 30470.

I have had great results with Briggs and Stratton engines going back to a 1979 lawn mower that i could not kill (wanted my dad to buy a self-propelled or lighter unit after 10 years of use) I digress...

I was fortunate to get the unit hooked up to a transfer switch by an electrician the day before Hurricane Irene came and I was so glad that I did. Before putting the generator to use, I loaded it with Mobil-1 Synthetic 5W-30. The drain plug on mine was on super tight and was nearly a knuckle buster when I broke torque. Below is some tips and advice that I have gleaned from my research and hope that it helps others.

1) Purchase price of the generator is typically not your only expense to getting power to your house. You have to consider the cost of a transfer switch, electrician, cable purchase which can run about $150 for a 50ft run, shed cost (if you plan on storing outside). You can also cheap charlie it and just use extension cords. But in my case the hastle of dealing with bugs in the summer,heat escaping in the winter and kids yanking or tripping on cords zig zagging through the house made the cheap charlie route not pass the WAF (wife acceptance factor).

2) Oil Consumption -I have read in Popular Mechanics that air cooled engines on average can consume 1 oz of oil per hour. I just changed after 5 hours and did not notice a drop in level. Knowing the potential for oil consumption, I am going to check oil level religiously during use and keep spare oil on hand.

3) Changing oil -Getting a rigid oil transport container under the drain plug is very difficult. My solution is to cut a reasonable size square opening say 2" x 2" in a 2 liter soda bottle and drain into the bottle first.

4) Use fuel stabilizer irregardless if you think that you are going to use it all up. Gas goes bad really fast especially E10 which is dispensed in most major metropolitan areas. Gas will turn to varnish and gum up the engine.

5) I want to explain the differences in float charger versus a trickle charger. I see so much misinformation in reviews on other sites. A float charger will only charge at the natural rate that the battery looses power. For example if a battery looses 5% a day, then the charger can only charge at 5% a day. A trickle charge will apply a constant charge to a battery, which could potentially lead to an overcharge which is a bad thing. Also all portable generators that I have seen do not charge the battery when they are running.

The cons:

The key insertion when the rubber cover is a little pain for me because the orientation of my generator in my enclosure. YMMV.

Noise, some might complain that it's too loud, I do not have any comparisons to other generators nor am I really close to my neighbors.

Oil change process.

Pros:

B&S reliability

Decent run time

A whole lot cheaper solution than a 12kw natural gas generator.

Bought this after last year's brutal snowstorm. I liked that it definitely handles my needs to operate comfortably (home mostly propane) and I like the key start. I keep it in the garage with the battery charger plugged in so it's ready when I need it and had an electrician install a manual transfer switch.

The electrician tested the generator hooked up to the switch with the well pump and most of the normal 120 circuits I'd want in a storm with no problem. He flushed the toilet repeatedly to empty the well tank so I could hear what a normal "blip" at the generator would sound like while the pump kicked in and refilled the tank.

I am rural so the noise is not an issue for me. I've not run this generator for a lot of hours but have run it the 5 hours prior to changing the oil the first time so it is ready for anything that this coming winter brings.

Want Briggs & Stratton 30470 7,000 Watt 420cc Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit Discount?

I purchased this generator after doing a lot of research and kept coming back to Briggs & Stratton due to the availability of repair parts (if ever needed) and the noted reliability of their products. The transaction through Amazon was flawless and they had the best price (after promotion) by well over $150. Shipping through ABF was perfect and the driver was polite and right on time. They unloaded the generator for me right into the garage.

I have already broken in the engine by running it for an hour and changing the oil. I have since had a heater and air compressor hooked up with no issues whatsoever. The generator comes packaged well and assembly is quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this model and Amazon as a seller to anyone who is in the market to purchase a generator.

USB Sync & Charge Cradle (with AC Charger) for AT&T HTC Tilt 2

USB Sync & Charge Cradle for AT&T HTC Tilt 2This is my second Orion cradle and like the other, it workds nicely.

I am not a fan of Micro USB, I think Mini USB was a smoother plug to use, but what can you do. I don't know if it is an issue with the Micro USB standard, or the tolerances on the cradle, but inserting and removal are nto as smooth as my old Orion Mini USB dock.

Don't know if it is the Micro USB standard, so I won't remove a star as it does work just fine with just the minor annoyance.

By the way, I purchased a GSI dock too, it was DOA. I'll always turn to Orion first.

This cradle fits tilt 2 perfectly and spare battery charger is just what I wanted. Now if I forget to charge the phone I still have a backup battery that is ready to go.

American Hunter Feeders Solar Charger

American Hunter Feeders Solar Chargerproduct works great except when bears can reach them but thats not the fault of the product. this is the third one ive bought and they work great until the bears got them but i think ive cured that problem.

Purchase this to replace the original one on the feeder. It was amazingly easy to connect the wires to the feeder. Only problem is that the wires do pull out of the little white plastic connector very easily but can be pushed back in just as easily. I wrapped a piece of electrical tape around it once I had it all connected. It seems to be working great as of now.

Arkon SM517 Windshield Mount for iPad Mini and 7-Inch Tablets

Arkon SM517 Windshield Mount for iPad Mini and 7-Inch TabletsI bought this for my Samsung Galaxy Tab (7 inch). Don't buy a $50 GPS mount when you can get this one for a fraction of the cost. The construction is surprisingly sturdy, and it fits my 7-inch Galaxy Tab nicely. It comes with some extra pieces that might let you mount a smart phone, but I haven't actually tried it.

One small thing to note: At first it will look like a 7-inch tablet doesn't quite fit. The instructions were a little vague, but with a little imagination I figured out that the bottom two prongs are attached to a spring-loaded, sliding portion of the main piece. The instructions make it look like you need to bend it back don't do it. Just hold on to it firmly, and press straight down on the bottom two prongs and you should be good to go.

Overall, if you're looking for decent GPS mount to fit a variety of small mobile devices, this is definitely a good pick. Highly recommended.

I bought this dashboard/windshield mount and wasn't quite sure what to expect. I didn't know if it would hold my tablet or if I'd have to worry about it falling out. This is a great mount! I attached mine to the dashboard and it's very sturdy and holds my Samsung Galaxy Tablet very nicely. It's a sturdily built mount and is strong enough to hold the tablet and take the bumps and jumps of the road. For the price, this was a very good deal.

Buy Arkon SM517 Windshield Mount for iPad Mini and 7-Inch Tablets Now

I've got a rooted Nook Color which I use via TetherGPS as both a driving navigator (Google Maps app) and a airplane cockpit moving map display (Naviator app).

The Nook Color fits very tightly in the mount, to the point where it's a little difficult to remove. This is actually a good thing, since if you want to mount it in portrait mode the only thing keeping it in place is the mount's tight grip. I've driven and flown with it and have not felt the least concerned that the mount will let my baby fall.

I've scoured the web for mounts and while, as of this writing, it's the only option for the Nook, it's a very good option. I recommend it.

Read Best Reviews of Arkon SM517 Windshield Mount for iPad Mini and 7-Inch Tablets Here

(#1 REVIEWER)We have been using GPS units for a long time and went through a large number of units and even larger number of mounts. Arkon window mount is one of the best mounts we tried.

I am attaching a collage of three photos under customers photos which I will be referencing in this review.

Here are the features I look for in a good windshield mount and how Arkon mount measures up

1) Good suction, quick and easy to mount, stays on, does not jiggle. Arkon mount is better than most. We have been using it for a number of weeks. It has not fallen down even in rough terrain. This is a low vibration mount it generates almost no jiggle of the unit.

2) Good positioning of grippers that hold the device. This is especially important when using a phone or tablet (rather than a dedicated GPS device) as those units have volume and on/off buttons on the sides. Arkon mount does very well in this department. We did not have to do any fussing, it just worked.

3) Flexibility in holding multiple devices. Arkon comes with with 4 short and 2 long grippers. The long grippers worked perfectly for 7" Nexus tablet (see photo #1) and the short grippers worked well for Samsung Galaxy Nexus cell phone.

I also own 7.7 Samsung Galaxy tablet, which is slightly wider that the Nexus 7 tablet. My Samsung Galaxy 7.7 tablet did not fit into the mount (see photo #2). Photo #3 has two tablets side by side, where you can see the difference in width between the two units.

A note on price: During the last year the price on this mount fluctuated between $22 and $11. I found a nice tool that allows me to see price history of Amazon items. If you search on Amazon price history and select the one with the word 'camel' you will see the tool I find very useful in my shopping. You can see the history of products and send you an email when the price reaches the level you are interested in.

Overall, this is a very good mount and we are very pleased with it.

Want Arkon SM517 Windshield Mount for iPad Mini and 7-Inch Tablets Discount?

I purchased this item a month ago. I am using it with an HTC View 4G 7" tablet. It seems to work fine if I don't use any type of cover. But, being that I'm using it in my car for a GPS, I purchased a thin TPU (rubber/silicone mix) cover for it for those inevitable times that it may fall to the floor....which with this car mount, it does more often than I'd like. The mount itself is of high quality. The suction cup stays stuck through just about anything. The problem is with the tabs that hold the tablet. They really should have some kind of small lip at the tips to prevent the tablet from popping out. I live in Pennsylvania, and potholes are everywhere. One decent pothole, and my tablet goes flying. I emailed Arkon to ask if they had longer tabs I could purchase or ones with some type of lip on the ends, but they never responded. Also, the two extension tabs that come with the mount to use with tablets seem to flex a lot. I'm not sure about their longevity. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to purchase another car mount that has some kind of lip to help hold my tablet.

UPG FB12-7 Batteries.com 12V / 7Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery-Electronics

UPG FB12-7 Batteries.com 12V / 7Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery-ElectronicsI needed a replacement battery for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that was over three-years old. This battery has the same form, fit, function, and capacity as the original, but it cost considerably less (and the shipping cost less) than the one offered by the UPS manufacturer.

The batteries worked fine after adjusting the pins on a few of them to accept the connectors. The shipping on this product was poor. Fortunatly the only issues where the bent connector pins.

Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance SP Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip

Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance SP Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip
  • Brand new non-OEM
  • Vehicle Lighter Adaptor. (12~24v DC). Short circuit protection. LED charging indication.
  • Plug never heats or overcharges the battery.
  • Intelligent IC chip inside recognizes a full battery and automatically switch to a saver.

This item came with a coiled cord that is only about a foot long, as opposed to the cord shown in the picture. This is of no use to me because my child sits in the back seat of my car. It can be used to charge in the front seat while my child sits in the back, but for me that defeats the purpose of buying it. The price was right, but I'm still stuck buying a more expensive item with a six foot cord, so the bargain factor for me is zero.

My son lost his previous DS car charger, this one works perfectly and was quite a steal!

It says it's for a DS, but it doesn't fit my grandsons. As cheap as it is, though, it's not worth the hassle and postage to return it.

Saicoo 3.6A / 18W 3 USB High output / ports Car Charger with Split design and 2 Car Cigarette Light

Saicoo 3.6A / 18W 3 USB High output / ports Car Charger with Split design and 2 Car Cigarette Lighter Sockets(85cm length cable) - Black(Retail Package)I've only had it a couple months or I would give it a 5. now they require me to write more words:(

A little surprised but I did get a free car charger and was asked to test it. It charges pretty faster than any one of my previous chargers.I've tried with my iphone as well as my sister's samsung s3, both can be fully charged within two hours. And it has three ports so I can charge three devices at the same time. This is quite helpful when you are driving through a trip with battery charging devices needed by several people. So far I like it very much. Thank you Saicoo!

Buybits Ultimate Addons Angled Mini USB Direct to Battery Hard Wire Motorcycle Charging Cable for TomTom ONE, GO, XL & START
  • High quality direct to battery hardwire charging cable. Useful Right Angled Mini USB plug - suitable for TomTom GO series, ONE series, XL series & START GPS SatNav systems.
  • FUSED & WATERPROOF - designed for motorcycles. Incorporates an on/off power switch on the voltage regulator.
  • Unlike many hardwire cables which drain your battery's power while your bike is stored, our cable allows you to switch the current off when you want.
  • Use with TomTom, Garmin, Navman or any of the popular SatNav GPS systems which use a Mini USB connector.
  • Water resistant, cable length 3m, fused, 1A current, 6-24v, CE approved.

Bought the charger for my TomTom GO920. Installation took about 10 minutes and most of that was deciding exactly where to run the wires for a cleaner look. Took a little while to get delivered from the UK but I am happy with the product. Looks and feels like it is solid and weather tight. Great that it can handle various charger adapters. They even have a USB adapter and you can run most of your gadgets through that using your own plugs. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a gadget charger for their bike.

On the Buybits website they have a nice video of how simple this thing really is.

Schumacher PSW-22 DSR ProSeries 225/125/40/20/2 Amp 6/12 Volt Manual Wheel Battery Charger/Starter

Schumacher PSW-22 DSR ProSeries 225/125/40/20/2 Amp 6/12 Volt Manual Wheel Battery Charger/StarterThis thing is a beast, I have a small battery charger that I've had for years and thought I HAD IT GOING ON!!! ****NOT****

No more waiting for a totally dead battery on the *start setting* 225 AMPS solves that problem.

Lots of AMP settings and TIME settings to suit any charging demand you have.

Buy this bad boy with confidence as I did.
