New 12V 120W Motorcycle Car Cigarette Lighter Power Socket Plug

New 12V 120W Motorcycle Car Cigarette Lighter Power Socket PlugI didn't actually order this product for a motorcycle but it worked great and was delivered quickly. Ring terminals on the ends of both connections would have been better as spade terminals but who's to say someone else wouldn't have preferred the ring terminals

Just what I was looking for and decent quality. I would recommend it and am considering ordering another for my RV.

I installed this socket in the center panel on my 1991 Honda Goldwing and even if I say so myself it looks like it came from the factory that way.It's a very good looking power socket and the cover snaps closed to resist the weather.And the wires were long enough to reach the fused power block at the battery.

it came in good condition, the water proof cap is perfect considering I am installing this on a motorcycle. Can be used as a lighter (since I smoke) or a power outlet for powering whatever device you need.

Ryobi ZRP260 ONE Plus 18V Cordless 1/2-in Impact Wrench (Tool Only)

Ryobi ZRP260 ONE Plus 18V Cordless 1/2-in Impact WrenchFirst, if you already own a bunch of Ryobi tools and a few of the 18v Lithium batteries then this will be a good addition to your tools collection. It is loud but works really well for a cordless 1/2" impact wrench. However, do not expect it to perform like an air impact wrench.

This is an inexpensive electric cordless impact wrench and not really meant for the tough jobs. If you expect to regularly and quickly remove lug nuts and rusted bolts, this is not the impact wrench to use. For those jobs, I have an Ingersol Rand 600 ft.lbs. air impact wrench.

If you are working on ATVs, Snowmobiles, Lawn and Garden equipment then this is a great tool to have around. It works well and quickly for those applications. I have been using this Ryobi impact wrench for awhile now and really like it. I now use it more than my Ingersol air impact wrench. I do run into those bolts/nuts that are too tight for this cordless impact to loosen but a quick nudge with a wrench and then try again and it will usually loosen the nut/bolt then. I found that it works in more situations than I expected but I'm not using it on rusted bolts, lug nuts, head bolts because it does not have enough power. Overall though I am really satisfied with its performance.

But if you are considering buying this on its own, it will cost you at least another $100 for a charger and batteries. And I don't think it is a good value then. Or if you are thinking of buying this to replace an air impact wrench then you will definitely be disappointed as this Ryobi impact wrench only has 1/2 to 1/3 the power. Buy it to supplement rather than replace an air impact wrench.

Out of all the Ryobi tools I have, this one is the most sensitive about battery power. Feed this a fresh 3 amp hour NiMh (sold here at Amazon) or 3 ah lithium ion battery, it will handle just about any nut or bolt you point it at. Yet this tool struggles with tight nuts if battery is a little low on charge, or the battery is not 3 amp hour.

I did an engine, transmission, and harness swap between two cars. Project would not have been possible without this tool. I had to use a breaker bar with some head bolts. This tool can handle any head bolt after you crack it with a breaker bar.

Feed it a good battery, you will be pleased. I have owned this tool 9 months. Not as strong as a name brand pneumatic wrench, but good deal for the price. Certainly more powerful than other electric impact wrenches I have tried.

Buy Ryobi ZRP260 ONE Plus 18V Cordless 1/2-in Impact Wrench (Tool Only) Now

First thing I did to test this gun was remove lugs on my 4x4 truck . worked like a champ with a 3/4 charged old style nicad battery that is two years old. I put those lugs on myself with an air impact months ago.

second thing was four inch screws, no problems there. its loud but thats to be expected from an IMPACT wrench. very happy with this purchase.

I will mostly use this for construction work but its nice to know I can fix my vehicles with it too!

The chuck adapter is fantastic and if you pull the tip and insert the bits properly they cannot fall out. If this is unclear to anyone its all in the directions.

I'm already locked into one+ hardware with two drills and on my third set of two NiMH batteries. Drills have held up for 5+ years and the batteries have died predictably and consistently. I had my choice between the 1/4 in hex drive only model, or this 1/2" Impact wrench model.

My first test was to remove and retorque bolts holding bike axles on children's bikes. I used my standard one+ batteries and found I could kill a partially charged battery within four bolt-removal and torque attempts. A full charge on a standard one+ NiMH probably yields 8-10 applications of 100+ft/lb bolts.

I will definitely need LiIon batteries and charger to get more work out of a charge cycle however the investment in batteries and charger take the expense of ownership into dewalt and makita territory where I'm probably headed.

It is noisy however I'm happy to not be dragging a noisy compressor and 50 feet of hose along.

The pricing of this driver unit as a bare tool placed it in with 1/4 Hex drive units however the torque reserve is far greater than any of those units.

Unexpected benefits:

Where I would have used a stepped bit on my 18V drill before and struggled with binding, this thing will tear through any drilling task I've tried with a stepped bit. Using a little finessing with the speed I can apply lower torque and the driver works effortlessly. From that standpoint driving a 3.5 in deck screw into harder wood is like driving a screw into balsawood.

The NiMH batteries may bring more endurance to the tool however I've only used it for a series of small jobs.

If you're buying a set of tools, not tied to the one+ you have a lot of good choices. If you're stuck/committed to one+ tools and already use Li-Ion batteries it's a decent tool and will do what you need as long as you're not pushing it to 200ft/lb constantly. If you are you will be happier with Dewalt/Makita higher tier brands, air tools or electric(AC) powered tools.

Want Ryobi ZRP260 ONE Plus 18V Cordless 1/2-in Impact Wrench (Tool Only) Discount?

I have owned this for about a year now.

No issues removing axle bolts on cars, lug nuts, crank pulley bolts, engine mounts.

Its been dropped, dragged, gotten wet and still performs fine.

I prefer using this over my Kobalt air impact, as it seems to have a bit more power.

Make sure to use the Lithium battery. The Ni-Cads don't do this impact justice.

It can be the difference of loosening a lug, or not.

Pyle PINV2 600 Watt DC/AC Power Inverter

Pyle PINV2 600 Watt DC/AC Power Inverter
  • High surge capability 12 volt power inverter
  • Generate single 115 volts 60 cycle as power from any 12 volts DC power source
  • Replacable spade fuse
  • Use in car, truck, RV boat, aircraft, or video games

It is a nice unit well made but buyer should be aware that it draws 35 amps and even the best cigarett lighters only provide 20 amps, Had to run a new line and lighted socket into car. Or you can just plan on hooking directly to battery with provided clips.

I bought this power inverter for tailgating. It was not able to power any of the appliances that we plugged into it. Upon further inspection, the appliances we were using used too much power for this Inverter.

I bought this inverter, thinking it's 600 watts..but when I received it, it's not 600 watts..but its 300 watts continous use and can surge to 600 watts maximum for 30 seconds only! So there's a misprint on the ads.. But this was able to take on a midsized laptop without overloading the fuse like some other inverter of its range of level. Pretty decent buy.

This was a good product, but the fuse blew once on me. I had to go and get a new fuse, but hard to get exact amps so had to use one with a lower rating. worked fine though

Motorola T5950 5-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios (Pair)

Motorola T5950 5-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios
  • 22 Channels, 99 Codes
  • NOAA Weather Channels
  • Rechargeable ready with NiCd Batteries, transformer and Two-Pocket Desktop Charger
  • 10 AudibleCall Tones, VibracallAlert, Keypad Lock and Talk Confirmation Tones
  • Audible Low Battery Alert and Battery Meter

I have used this product for a few years, and it generally performs well and offers some really fine features. But...Beware of the manufacturer's "official knockoff" sold at a lower price in many "big boxes"...and even here at Amazon. A copy of another review I filed here follows...

As an outdoor enthusiast, I placed the "regarded" Motorola T5950R FRS/GMRS 2-way radio pair on my Christmas list. While attempting to acquire this set in a chain sporting goods store, my father was "steered" to the alleged Motorola model T6500 by a store associate who said that model was a new replacement for the T5950. After being informed of this, I decided to do some web research, and interestingly found that the model T6500 was NOT to be found ANYWHERE on the Motorola web site.

Seems the T6500 is a "licensed knockoff" of the T5950 by Motorola's mainland-Chinese electronics manufacturer. The units look the same except for the face plate color (Yellow=T5950 / Khaki=T6500). The features are identical--as is the packaging. Only a small indication on the rear of the T6500 package discloses that the product is "Manufactured and sold by Giant International, Ltd., official licensee for this product." Furthermore, it is warranted and supported EXCLUSIVELY by the MANUFACTURER-NOT MOTOROLA!

Now...To the "differences"...and there ARE some-ALL performance related. While Motorola may license their name, logo, and design to an offshore OEM producer, you can be sure that they reserve their customer support AND several technical enhancements for models THEY specifically brand and market.

A side by side comparison between the genuine Motorola T5950 and its T6500 "imposter" reveals several performance issues. The T5950 has relatively good coverage (considering the communications class); audio loudness and clarity that are sufficient for reliable reception on a congested and "spotty" broadcast service; and NOAA Weather Station reception that is fairly good...even 30-50 miles from the desired station. I did not compare the T6500s transmit-receive coverage, but its audio quality and "punch" are WELL BELOW that of the "genuine" T5950. Furthermore, Weather Band reception on my T6500 sample (both units in the set) was very nearly NONFUNCTIONAL.

In conclusion: It is well worth spending a few bucks more for the "Real McCoy" genuine Motorola T5950 (I actually spent $4 LESS with a rebate here on Amazon). You'll appreciate the "domestic support", improved transmit audio quality, and a weather receiver that actually may save your life when you're out on the water!

These are terrific little units with awesome range.

I keep a pair in every car I have for trips to Costco, the Mall, Seaworld or wherever.

My only complaint if the NiCAD batteries. They do get a memory if you don't use them a lot. NiMHD would have been a better choice considering the way you'll likely use them. The batteries will lose their charge whe sitting unused so they are less available for last minute emergency use.

Read Best Reviews of Motorola T5950 5-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios (Pair) Here

Everyone please understands that getting the FCC license for any GMRS radio does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to increase the range of the radio. The license is a piece of paper so the FCC may track who is using GMRS frequencies, nothing more. They used to do the same for CB users in the 70's. They do not track FRS freqs because of the low output power of FRS radios. Range is affected by output power of the radio but mostly by obstacles between you and the other radio. Trees, walls, buildings, hills, etc. reduce the range considerably. A true test of range is on open water or unobstructed Line-Of-Sight from one hilltop to another. (Not everyone has a boat) Buy three different sets from different brands and try them near a lake to test, return the ones that are not to your liking.

I took a pair of T5950 on a 2 week trip. Using 2300mah nimh batteries, they last more than a day. The sound quality was very good. Remember, don't crank the speaker volume to max, this actually distorts the sound. When in the city, I was able to use the T5950s about 10 street blocks apart. The sounds was very clear.

By the way, I saw a comment on Motorola "imposter" and "licensed knockoff" by HippoRadio here. HippoRadio clams T5950 is a true Moto product, while other models like T6500 are "a licensed knockoff of the T5950 by Motorola's mainland-Chinese electronics manufacturer". He came to this conclusion because "a small indication on the rear of the T6500 package discloses that the product is Manufactured and sold by Giant International, Ltd., official licensee for this product."

Since I was looking to buy more Moto's radios, just to verify, I emailed Motorola asking which models are made by Moto themselves.

Here is the official reply from Motorola's customer service Marisol R on Jun 03, 2005. It seems, in fact, ALL talkabout radios are made by Giant International based in China. Any quality difference between models are just due to different designs, quality control, etc., and not due to different manufacturers.

-from Motorola's customer service Marisol R --

Thank you for contacting Motorola e-mail support, we appreciate your request and interest in our products.

Based on your e-mail, we may inform you that all the Motorola Two Way Radios are manufacture by Giant, which is the company that manufactures the Motorola Two Way Radios and accessories.

Very nice looking pair of radios, but distance was not impressive. Walking in a residential area which was relatively flat, the radios maybe had distance of about 3/4 mile before transmission began breaking up. That was disappointing considering the advertising suggested "upto 5 miles." Maybe they tested them in the middle of the Arizona desert or something. I'm probably going to return these and try to get something with greater range.

12V 3.4AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for APC ES BE350G BE350T BE350U RBC35

12V 3.4AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery for APC ES BE350G BE350T BE350U RBC35works like it is supposed to. No problems in installing it and has already been put to use during a power outage.

Typically I don't consider generic replacement batteries for APC units. To keep costs down while replacing a large number of batteries at once, I gave these a try. I have been impressed. They were built as solid as the original batteries and after a number of 2-5 minute power outages they have not degraded in performance (when testing with a voltmeter for expected output levels).

PortaCell Dual USB Port 2A 10w (fast) Heavy Duty Ouput Car Charger - Black

PortaCell Dual USB Port 2A 10w Heavy Duty Ouput Car Charger - BlackThe only con is that it doesn't stay securely in the lighter socket. Its as if the spring at the tip is too strong. Otherwise this is a great product and can't be beat for the price!

So far it works great. The iPad slot actually seems to charger the iPhone 5 pretty fast with no side-effecst thus far. It can be used for the iPhone 4 also, not just for the iPad. But overall both slots work great, charger actually charges almost as effectively as the wall charger. So far, been great.

RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage Heater

RoadPro RPBH-012 12V Beverage HeaterHot water in my flask doesn't stay hot enough for a whole day out, and this is a good way to bring my tea or coffee up to temperature. I haven't tried heating water from cold it is always at least warm when I start. It takes several minutes and the wait can be a bit tedious, but it does a good job. The clip which is supposed to hold the heater onto the side of the mug doesn't (it flops about), so I have to hold it to keep it properly immersed. It cools off quickly and is reasonably easy to clean with a small brush.

I purchased this item as a gift for my son. He is an over the road truck driver and I thought this would be nice so he could make coffee of a morning. He used it twice and it burned out. It may be that it was just a defective product, but on the other hand at a cost of about $12, it is not worth taking the chance. I would have returned the product, but it may be months before I see him again, and he had already discarded the packaging. My loss could be your gain. Don't buy!

This is a good product. I use it in a stainless coffee mug in the car. Sometimes the cigarette lighter plug on the Road Pro will melt if you leave it on too long. Radio shack part number 270-1521 is a much more robust plug. I just crunch the old plug up and cut the metal tabs with the wires soldered to them from the original plug and put them in the holes in the Radio Shack heavy duty plug and it is fixed and lasts forever. I leave the LED connected and it indicates when it is plugged in.

Great gadget. Much better than the plug in mugs that fail quickly.

I bought this item to heat water so that I could keep hot coffee during a 5-day cross-country road trip. (Without having to pull over to purchase it...) The product specifications indicates that the so-called "metal" clip would attach neatly to most "CERAMIC" coffee cups. Firstly, the "metal clip" is NOT METAL but some type of hard plastic. I chose a ceramic cup with the narrowest rim to be sure it would accomodate the space allowed for the clip to engage. However, as soon as I placed the clip on the rim of the my cup, the clip snapped off! (With little or NO pressure!!)

I just finished the trip on Saturday Sept. 4th and any hot coffee during my trip was purchased from various vendors enroute so I wasted $16.98 on the item and shipping cost. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!

Although the other reviews were not promising I gave it a chance. Wrong! The heater was in pieces on arrival, the tip was unscrewed. I put it back together, used it once and the tip melted. I had used the 110v units years ago and although they didn't last very long, I decided to give this a chance, as I work from a vehicle. Don't waste your time or money.

Power Bright VC1500W Voltage Transformer 1500 Watt Step Up/Down converter 110/120 Volt - 220/240 V

Power Bright VC1500W Voltage Transformer 1500 Watt Step Up/Down converter  110/120 Volt - 220/240 VoltMy wife moved from Saudi Arabia to New York and she brought a lot of electrical stuff with her like some Rowenta iron, Braun blender, juicer, mixer sets and few other items that she spent a lot of money on. We needed a voltage converter to be able to use these items in New York and after some research I found this item and it works for us. Only drawback is that its heavy and not as portable as we would like it to be. Overall, we are happy with it.

Heavy that's the reason I bought it! For 1500W transformer, it is suppose to b heavy, otherwise it's made by cheap stuff and easy to broke and not good for what ever you plug in.

I plug in a 1200W Soy milk maker, no noise is from the transformer. Not much heat come out from it either. Great product.

I will continue to use Power Bright transformers as long as I live overseas.

XtremeMac IPU-IH2-11 InCharge Home for iPhone/iPod/iPad

XtremeMac IPU-IH2-11 InCharge Home for iPhone/iPod/iPad
  • This compact wall charger includes dual USB ports each with 2.1 amps for fast charging and a 30 pin to USB cable.
  • It also features a low profile design that allows access to a second outlet for convenience.

After trying endlessly to find an official iPad charger amongst all the Chinese knock offs on Amazon, I decided to see what the other manufacturers had to offer. Turns out, this is way better than the Apple one for me. Dual 2.1 amp chargers allows me to charge my iPad and my Droid or a second iPad at the same time without any issue. It's also very thin so there's not much of a gap behind my dresser where the power plug is. I love the fact that it comes with a usb cable, so I didn't need to buy one of those too. Couldn't be happier with this thing. The item listing says Memorex but the brand on the package is Xtrememac.

I bought this about 6 weeks ago, specifically to be able to charge my IPhone 4S and IPad 2 with one charger at the same time. It was the only such device I could find. The iPads unique voltage requirement makes many other USB chargers useless. So two days ago, I received my new IPad and wondered if it would work as well. I plugged it in and saw the dreaded " not charging" message. As it was the weekend, I decided to just leave it on over night to see if it would charge anyway. The next morning, the IPad was fully charged. That has worked two nights in a row. Not sure why, but it " just works". Yea!

Easy to transfer video from the unit to computer. The operation manual is a direct translation from another language. Directions are vague for some things due to translation. I would not recommend it. I wanted one that would record at night too. This won't do that without external lights (street lights, buildings etc).

  • Micro Auto Charger's small and seamless form factor sits flush to your dash mount
  • Rubber on the housing for more comfortable grip
  • 1 Amp output allows faster charging as compared to other chargers

Most of these type DC chargers are bulky. This is so compact and light you could easily misplace it.

It does an excellent job at charging. You know it's on because of the light it has built in. It goes flush against the DC plug.

Excellent and portable little unit. I carry it around in my travel pack because it takes up so little room.

Buy Belkin Micro USB 1 Amp Car Charger with 3ft Charge / Sync Cable for Apple iPhone Now

The Kensignton iPhone car charger I had been using for years still performed well, but since it was originally intended to be a charger and an accessory for a remote control (that no longer works) it was bulky and had an extra AUX cable attached to it that I wasn't really using.

It was until recently that I had the opportunity to order this Belkin car charger and I can confirm it was definitely quite the upgrade!

The first thing I liked was the size, the charger is pretty much the size of the cigarette lighter and only sticks out enough for you to see the green light when plugged and for you to connect the included USB cable. It does not take more room than required, that's a good thing for me. The USB cable included is designed for iPhone 4s and below, it also works with my regular iPod classic. I have to thank whoever designed this product because the USB cable they included does consider the fact that many iPhone/iPod users like to keep their devices in protective cases, the cable included is designed after the size of the original factory charger and the connector is long enough so it fits regardless of the case you may be using (after having to remove the protective case for years so I could charge my iPhone and iPod this is a most welcome change!)

Now that we have established the fact that the product is practical, how does it perform? The product description claims the charging times are faster. Well, after several tests I got an average time of charge of 1.15% per minute, using an iPhone 4 and an iPod classic. So say if you charge your device for an hour, you will get about 69% of battery. It is definitely slower than charging using a speaker dock, a computer or a power outlet, but in case of an emergency, it is good enough for me.

I have read you can use the charger with other USB devices, for my review, all tests were made with an iPhone 4 and an iPod classic (160GB)

Would I recommend it? Yes! The price is right, performs well and it is very practical to use in my car!

Want Belkin Micro USB 1 Amp Car Charger with 3ft Charge / Sync Cable for Apple iPhone Discount?

A problem with online orders for electronic stuff, like this, is you never know if it'll be a cheap knock off or not (I've been so burned--through Amazon, yet). But this Belkin surely seems of Belkin's usual high quality and I've used it a couple of times and it works superbly. Great price, too. Buy name band and buy quality, I guess.

This is so much better than the usb that comes with the iphone. Sturdy! Perfect! Very happy with my purchase

Solar Generator - 'Expeditionary' 201This product is awesome! We can power a laptop with aircard all day long by solar power and long into the night on the battery that can charge while you use your device. Go green in a big way for all outdoor activities. We use this at wpaz 1370 am radio for our remote broadcasts. It is awesome. Perigee has great customer support. I highly reccomend this product for anyone looking for more then just a battery. Two thumbs up to this product and if I had a third thumb they would get that to.

This item is extremely portable, durable, versatile and easy to use. We take it with us to various outdoor vending events. We put the solar panel up and by nightfall we have enough power to light our booth all night. It is a nice alternative to a generator and much more quiet! It is a must have.

HQRP 10A Waterproof Solar Power Charge Controller / Regulator 12V / 24V 10 Amp plus HQRP UV Chain /

HQRP 10A Waterproof Solar Power Charge Controller / Regulator 12V / 24V 10 Amp plus HQRP UV Chain / UV Radiation Health TesterI installed the previous version of this unit to provide solar power to my electric garden fence on 06/04/2011. It remained in continuous use without problems for 270 days then failed. My garden is in SW Oregon, so we do get a lot of rain. The maximum temperature range during the service time was from 85F to 20F. The led tube display is completely obscured by condensation inside the unit which would tend to make me think that it was not properly sealed and in fact was not waterproof as advertised.

My advice to purchasers would be to make sure you protect the unit from rain as much as you can without impairing the necessary ventilation around the product. If you do decide to buy this product, you should probably look for a way to protect it from the rain so long as you allow proper ventilation.

I do feel that the controller I purchased was in fact faulty and should have been replaced by the supplier. They did not want to do that and their warranty is in fact 200 days.

Just be aware if you buy this controller with the intent of installing it directly exposed to the elements you should plan on replacing it in 9 months.

McGard 27000 Chrome Bolt Style Cone Seat Wheel Locks (M14 x 1.5 Thread Size) - Set of 4

McGard 27000 Chrome Bolt Style Cone Seat Wheel Locks - Set of 4My son lost the "key" and had to buy a replacement form McGaurd. It was rather expensive, and shipping was extra. Actually extra extra, because he needed it quick. OK, it showed up, but the replacement uses a different size socket, so the OEM Volvo tire tool does not work. Now he has to carry another tool just for the McGard locks. How stupid is that?

What can I say, except they do what they say and they look better than the one in the picture.

New Universal Apple iPod USB Charger Kit - USB Retractable Hotsync Cable - USB Home Travel Charger

New Universal Apple iPod USB Charger Kit - USB Retractable Hotsync Cable - USB Home Travel Charger - USB 12V Cigarette Lighter Charger for iPod Classic, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, and All iPods w/ Dock Connector
  • 3-in-1 bundle deal
  • Includes: iPod Dock Connector
  • Includes: USB Home Charger
  • Includes: USB Car Charger
  • Compatible with all apple iPod/iPhone players except shuffle series, does not work with third gen iPods w/dock connector

Despite the claim that this product is compatible with all iPods w/Dock connectors except shuffle, it is not compatible with third gen iPods w/Dock connectors. As to the product itself, the plastic is cheap and flimsy and the dock connector does not fit well even on later model iPods. Don't bother.

Nice kit for the car and home. Price was great and it shipped fast. Really happy. This is so much better than having to wind up my cord charger that I got with my Ipod touch

I found one of these kits locally (for several dollars more) to use with the families latest generation ipods, four 4g and 8g Nanos and two 80g Classics. The cable works as well as the OEM cable to sync or charge. The power adapters work perfectly. On the Classics the charging symbol does not come on but they are charged nonetheless. This is an inconsequential annoyance--the cost/benefit ratio remains well on the plus side.

You get what you pay for. Car adapter does not work. The wall adapter overheats. The cable is fine but we found out that it is not practical for our uses.

Rapid Car Charger with Ic Chip for Creative Zen Vision V, V Plus, Micro, Micro Photo, Muvo Slim, Xm

Rapid Car Charger with Ic Chip for Creative Zen Vision V, V Plus, Micro, Micro Photo, Muvo Slim, Xmod, Stone, Neeon 2, Neeon 512mb, Neeon 1gb, Neeon 2gb, Neeon 5gb, Neeon 6gb
  • 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.

I've tried several aftermarket chargers and none of them worked on my Zen. I thought I'd "roll the dice" on this charger and go ahead and buy it. To my surprise, it's not only high quality, but it really worked! I'm so happy. When I first got my Zen mp3 player (Creative Zen V Plus 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black/Blue))I became frustrated quickly when I noticed that accessories for the thing were nowhere to be found except online at the Creative website. "Sure, sucker we've got a car charger for ya. That'll be $29.99 plus $8.97 ground shipping!" Almost 40 bucks for a cheapass charger? If I'm gonna pay THAT kinda money, I should have just gotten an iPod player for the ridiculously convenient access to a myriad of accessories, but I didn't want to adhere to a monopoly. Well, I won't be buying Creative again in the future, but I would certainly buy this product's brand!

I thought I'd take a chance and try it. I was very pleased. it's made well, with good materials and good design. For my Creative Zen Microphoto, it works flawlessly; that's all there is to it. And it sure beats paying $30.00 for the brand-name chargers.

Want Rapid Car Charger with Ic Chip for Creative Zen Vision V, V Plus, Micro, Micro Photo, Muvo Slim, Xm Discount?

works great, got it fast. only thing is now i am getting smarter and use a universal power adapter with 2 usb connections in the car so i can interchange any micro, mini or other usb charging cord and not need all the different larger chargers. all in all it was worth it.

Yes, it does charge a Zen V Plus. Unfortunately, I didn't get to use it for long, because I spilled water on the Zen a few days later and killed it. Another review says not to use it with an FM transmitter, and that is exactly right, It induces additional noise, but some of it can be eliminated by turning the player volume all the way up (since you don't have to worry about power drain). The only comments I have on the charger itself are that it does not look like the picture (it is smaller, and more sleek), and that the cable insulation isn't attached anywhere inside the charger, so if you pull too hard, you could pull the wires right out of the circuit board. That can be a problem since the coils in the cord are stiff.
