Simplism Japan Slide Style Dual USB Charger, Black

- Simply and beautifully designed USB charger with two ports/Compact shape and easy to carry
- Supports 100V240V/Stable supply large capacity of electric power with 5V/1000mA
- Overcurrent protection, overcharge protection circuit
- LED light for charging status/A rotary plug that rotates 180-degree
- A sliding cover prevents dusts from entering to ports
- USB charger with two ports.
- Supports 100V240V.
- Stable supply large capacity of electric power with 5V/1000mA.
- Overcurrent protection, overcharge protecting circuit.
It also doesn't hurt that it has a tidy, clean design. The rotating plug makes it nice and compact for travel, but the sliding cover is a bit chintzy and not very satisfying to slide back and forth; I just leave mine open. The build quality of the rest of the charger is adequate, if not bulletproof.
It may not be the cheapest USB charger out there, but for under $15, I'm happy.

Icom IC-A14 VHF Air Band transceiver

Buy Icom IC-A14 VHF Air Band transceiver Now
Very easy to use the basic functions of the radio. Have not tried to use the program option yet and my not need it. I am carrying it as a backup radio. My house is 4.5 miles from the airport and I can listen to ATIS and the tower from my bedroom. ATIS is a little scratchy with some static but it is understandable. Tower is pretty clear. Im sure in the air the range will be better. So far Im happy with it.Read Best Reviews of Icom IC-A14 VHF Air Band transceiver Here
I fly a sport plane that, technically, does not require a radio, but I much prefer to communicate with traffic at the airport, and the Icom radios connect directly into my stock communication system, allowing me to use the PTT button mounted on the yoke and the external antenna, as well as working with my headsets, including passing my own voice from the microphone to the headset, confirming clarity in the broadcast. I can clearly hear traffic at other airports, as well, some of them almost 20 miles away. The only reasons I didn't give it that coveted 5th star are because the setup is not the least bit intuitive and the manual is of little help (there are some great YouTube videos that will help you sort it all out) and because there is no way to charge the unit without placing it in a charging cradle. This is fine for most people, and the cradle does allow you to charge the battery, whether or not it is mounted on the handset, but I would prefer to mount the radio in my plane and utilize the portable charger to power it. Aside from these admittedly minor issues, this is a solid unit and I really can't see going elsewhere for my radio needs.icom a-14 is a radio ideal for operations at airports because it has a sound loud and clear, also for the pilot for use in cockpit, recommend..Monday, July 14, 2014

Cobra Electronics Walkie-Talkie CXT235 Two-Way Radio

- Extended range capability provides up to 20 mile range. (Range will vary depending on terrain and conditions.)
- Available when the 22 channels are combined with the 121 privacy codes (38 CTCSS/83 DCS), these combinations prevent interference from other radios.
- Be prepared for storms and emergencies with the built-in NOAA radio receiver providing coverage of all government operated weather channels.
- In the event of a major storm or other weather condition, NOAA broadcasts a 1050 Hz tone that this microTALK radio can detect and warn you of a weather alert condition.
- The user's voice is detected and the radio transmits without the need to press any buttons, freeing hands for other tasks. Five VOX sensitivity levels allow the user to select at which point the radio will detect their voice.

We use these to talk around our 17 acre farm and while kayaking, hiking, and hunting, Two miles away and hilly we were still able to talk. Much farther than that was not so good. Line of sight with no obstructions would probably be better. We love them and have two sets so the kids can keep in touch too. Upgrade to better batterys for more talk time. We use 800mAh rechargeables.Read Best Reviews of Cobra Electronics Walkie-Talkie CXT235 Two-Way Radio Here
Bought a set of these a few years ago and liked them very much. So, when we lost one I have bought another set and the original one is still working great. Only gave 4 stars because the charger is not as easy to use as the older set was.Want Cobra Electronics Walkie-Talkie CXT235 Two-Way Radio Discount?
I purchased this product (Cobra Electronics Walkie-Talkie CXT235 Two-Way Radio) during an Amazon Lightning Deal. Previously I already have a pair of very basic walkie talkies (Motorola FV300 2-Way Radio), but I consider the CXT235 a 'step-up' due to its advertised features, namely:Longer range of 'Up to 20 miles'
'Privacy Codes'
Rechargeable batteries and charger included
My initial impression of the CXT235 was quite positive. The control buttons are fairly simple to use. The LCD panel is back-lighted and easy to read. The 'Privacy Code' feature seems to work well. However, there are several marketing hypes and deficiencies that I need to point out:
1. Like all walkie talkies, the advertised range of 'Up to 20 miles' is highly inflated. This number is only possible under optimal test conditions (transmitting from one hilltop to another with clear line-of-sight, perfect weather, no RF interference, etc). In an urban environment with obtrusions and interferences, you're lucky to get up to 2 miles in range.
2. The so-called 'Privacy Code' does NOT prevent others from listening in to your conversation. Instead, it prevents you from receiving unwanted transmission from other people. Let's say your group is using channel 11 with privacy code set to 22. You will not hear any transmission on channel 11 unless it is preceded by the correct privacy code. But anybody listening in to channel 11 without using privacy code can hear everything you transmit.
3. The included NiMH rechargeable AAA batteries have very low capacity of just 300mAh. Based on my measured power consumption (see Footnotes), this is barely enough to sustain 1-2 hours of operation if you do a lot of transmission. To extend the runtime, I need to replace those batteries with higher-capacity versions, such as Sanyo eneloop or Tenergy Centura (800mAh).
4. While the walkie talkies are plugged in to the AC recharger, you can turn them on but they are unable to receive any calls. That means you cannot leave them in standby mode while being recharged.
Bottom Line:
Despite the above limitations, I consider the Cobra CXT235 a good value at the Lightning Deal price I paid. An added bonus for me is that this product can be used to communicate with my old Motorola FV300 as long as all walkie talkies are set to the same channel, and privacy code is NOT set on the CXT235.
[Footnotes on Power Consumption]
When first turned on, the unit consumes around 60mA in standby mode.
After 10 seconds of inactivity, it goes into 'Power Saver' mode which reduces the average input current to around 20mA
While receiving calls, the units consumes around 100mA (depending on volume)
While transmitting in low power (channel 8-14), it consumes ~250mA
While transmitting in high power (Channel 1-7, 15-22), it consumes ~300mA
The AC adapter's charging current is around 30mA. That means it takes about 12 hours to recharge the included 3000mAh batteries, or 30 hours if I use higher-capacity batteries.My 11-year old daughter bought a cheap set of walkie-talkies at Claire's and was very disappointed. So she returned them and saved up her money to buy these. She has had so much fun running around with her friends at our neighborhood park and playing spy games. They have excellent reception and she has enjoyed them very much.

The device is correct for my Stratosphere phone. Just keeps falling out of the power connector when driving.Still it does the job for charging.doesn't generate a strong enough charge to help your phone and this prduct was dead after two weeks. I recommend staying away from it. It never fit in snugly either.This charger arrived quicky and worked great for about 2 months, then started to only work sometimes, and today the plug that goeg into the phone came off from the cord... For a cheap charger or a spare it's fine, but not long lasting.

ESI 710 500 Amp Carbon Pile Load Tester

I wonder what copper stand cables are??
UPDATE: After a few years, it started making a rattling noise inside. I opened it up, and found 4 loose nuts, one fell off and was the rattler. The cheezy box protects it well, but is falling apart.
After using it several times, I finally memorized the instructions. It always does a very good job of telling me the battery's condition. Hook it up, load to half the cca, 15 seconds to test, fairly simple. Just make sure the load knob is all the way off when attaching and detaching or it will spark like mad.
I tried to change from 3 to 4 stars, but it won't let me.For the cheap price, it may be good to do the odd battery load test, but adjustment was finicky and it started sparking inside sometimes.
Buy ESI 710 500 Amp Carbon Pile Load Tester Now
The pro's of this tester are the ability to adjust amperage load. Accurate testing of a wide range of CCA are possible with this tester.The cons: The tester performs it's functions; however, it seems cheaply built. I haven't had it long, but the "carbon piles" seem very fragile and destined to break. I run a mobile mechanic service, and I was afraid to put it in my truck. I move it around real softly afraid I'm going to break it. The adjustment knob seems really cheaply made also. It doesn't seem to adjust real accurately either. After you stop turning the knob, the needle will continue to rise sometimes.
All in all, it seems to be a very capable tester although cheaply manufactured.

Stanley J309 300 Amp Jump Starter

Buy Stanley J309 300 Amp Jump Starter Now
Nice features, well constructed. I plug it in to charge it up once a month. (more often than suggested) I let it charge for two full days when I charge it, indicators read full charge.I needed to use it today because my car battery finally died (6 years old). I plugged the Stanley in to top up the charge, let it top up for two hours. Indicator showed full charge. Tried to start the car. Nothing. I could see sparks when I attached the battery, so I know there was juice, but just not enough to turn over the 6 cylinder engine.
The Stanley unit has a battery level indicator, before the attempt it read full charge. After, the indicator was in the middle. Back inside, I hook it up to charge it again, it reads low.
GM road side assistance showed up with a much beefier version of a portable battery source, and the car started up immediately.
This unit is one year old, so I am guessing that the internal battery just does not last, or can not actually supply the starting current that it claims.
Just a big beautiful paper weight. Go for a much beefier unit, or perhaps one with lithium ion batteries. Better yet, just subscribe to a road side assistance plan.

My battery wouldn't hold a charge and I used this every day for 4 months to start my car and it exceeded my expectations. I never expected it to last that long, but with charging once every 3 weeks or so it worked fine. Small, portable, and much easier than jumper cables. Highly recommended.Want Stanley J309 300 Amp Jump Starter Discount?
I shopped eBay and major retailers, and Amazon had the lowest price for this item. I had previously read online reviews of similar products and decided that Stanley offered the best, along with a trusted brand name.Shopping at Amazon is so easy, I do it often.

DC car power adapter for Samsung DVD-L100 DVD-L1200 DVD-L200 DVD-L201 DVD-L300 DVD-L70 DVD-L75 port

- After market replacement car adapter
- save money on batteries
- 100% compatible to orginal manufacturer equipment
There is no markings on the adaptor. I must have received a 9 volt unit!I purchased this charger for my Samsung DVD-L1200, what a mistake! The charger burnt the main board in my DVD player and I had to pay $80 for a new board (plus labor). He said the charger caused it, and that it was "faulty". Please think twice before purchasing. Advice, if you dont see the charge light right away when you use this charger, pull it out right away!! I waited about 5 mins, taking it in and out to see if I hadnt pushed it in all the way and boom, $80 later my lesson is learned the hard way!I guess this thing works. I bought it by accident. I was trying to buy the regular wall charger for my DVD player, but I'll keep it anyways.

VCAN Blinc 136 Gloss Black X-SmallFull Face Helmet with AVIATOR Graphics

The helmet itself is extremely low quality. The padding is very thin and flimsy, and the rubber "breath guard" smells strongly of chemicals. The outer shell of the helmet is very thin and flexible. The graphics were crooked on the helmet. The plastic vents were not mounted straight. Also, the visor does not seal well around the edges.
This helmet is not worth half the price, unfortunately. I had high hopes for this product but I was very disappointed. I have already sent it back.While the fit and comfort of this helmet is fantastic, the build quality shows why the price is so good. Initially I had a problem pairing with bluetooth GPS, but upon further investigation it was the GPS and not the helmet. Only certain GPS' can be paired with a helmet so ensure you GPS is compatible before purchasing one. My iPhone paired perfectly and though you cannot control the iphone features i.e forward, reverse and ff/rew tracks, the sounds quality was fantastic. Please don't think there are 2 speakers as that is against the law in quite a few states, but the one speaker sounds great. I made several call via the helmet at 50+ mph and I had one person think I was sitting in my living room. The sound cancellation mic is perfect. As for the helmet itself it is a very comfortable helmet and it is pertinent that you measure your head correctly. Unfortunately after the initial wow factor wore off about the comfort, this was quickly dashed as the chin cushion came apart after just one wear. Very, very poor quality. I really wanted to give this helmet a lot of praise, but it fell apart after just 2 hours of use.

This helmet for the price looks and feels great.

I just love the pink!!! I gave my old battery tender to the boyfriend. It still worked fine, but I wanted pink and he needed a tender. I keep my bike hooked up when not in use as this prolongs the battery life. I keep leads on the bike's battery (included with the tender) and plug in after my rides. It's good for vintage cars as well, like a friend's Mustang.

We bought this unit to keep a pair of classic camaro batteries in good working order. Right out of the box we tied it into a battery using the ring terminals without problem. The unit cycles the battery up to full strength and gives an obvious indication of where you are in the charge cycle. As a bonus my wife is tickled pink that it's pink and has the bonus of helping to fight breast cancer. Would recommend this unit to anyone.Want Battery Tender Plus 12-Volt / 1.25-Amp Battery Charger, Pink Discount?

BoxWave HTC HD7S Desktop Cradle (No Spare Battery Charger)

However, some negative points ...
1) the base is bigger than what seems necessary (need more desktop space),
2) there is a strong blue LED on the front of the base and a red LED on the wall transformer, I know these don't consume too much electricity, but my HD7s tells me if it is being charged, I don't need another light in the room at night (nothing some black electric tape can't fix of course)
3) I cannot unlock my HD7s while docked; it's as if the screen is being tapped or something, but the password screen scrolls back down after I enter 1-2 of the #'s from the pin code. This is bizarre, and I can only attribute it to a back connection at the cradle (good enough to charge, but unstable to interact with the HD7s while cradled), and finally
4) The cradle of course has a microUSB connector for the HD7s (and most new Smartphones -except iPhone), but because of the plastic holder designed specifically for the HD7s (a good thing), I can't charge my wife's Android (it doesn't fit *on* the cradle) -No problem! I just unplug the cable from the cradle and .... it's a miniUSB plug!?!? I think BoxWave had a few thousand USB-to-miniUSB cables lying around and decided they would use those until stock ran out. I can't believe the designers would have a miniUSB plug at the end of the USB cable when the phone it is built for uses a microUSB.
I would not buy this again, but not worth the trouble sending it back, as it does charge my phone (but that's about it)
UPDATE May 2012 After updating my HD7s to the 8107 firmware, all of a sudden I can unlock and use it while on the cradle (pt #3 above) -therefore a phone/firmware issue rather than a cradle issue on that one -I am increasing my rating by a star! You know, I can now say I *would* buy this again, since I set it and forgot it, it does it's job well!
