12V 2A Car Charger for Acer Iconia A500 A501 A100 Tab Tablet PC Power Supply

12V 2A Car Charger for Acer Iconia A500 A501 A100 Tab Tablet PC Power SupplyWorks sometimes but not enough times. Think it is because barrel power connector does not fit Acer pwr jack correctly. Caught it acting intermently a few times on trip then Tab Batt drained down gradually.

Not worth hassle even if free.

UPDATE TO REVIEW: After more experience with this charger, I have discovered the barrel connector is not the problem. It is reliable. It is either the charger cannot supply the needed current to both power and charge the Acer A500. Although the Tab battery indicator shows Tab is being powered, it never chargers and final drains existing Tab charge when Tab is powered.

Since the original Acer AC Power Adapter for A500 is infamously too short, I used the extra cord length and barrel connector on this China car charger to double the length of my AC power adapter by splicing Car DC Chargers cord to end of my Acer AC Adapter cord. With more than a week experience, results have been reliable....and great finally having a useable double length AC Adapter without dishing out $30 for an AC replacement adapter.

After one week failed and would not charge acer

tablet very disapointed brought a replacement from walmart which works fine

Worked well for 2 rides with Acer A100 as GPS, during 3rd ride tablet showed that charger switching on/off every second... so I consider charger as dead and waist of money.

BTW: I thought that it should be straight forward to get 12V, 1500 mA from 12V car's power network... but for a some reason this simple device is VERY unreliable :-(

Ran this thing for several hours in the car and it seemed to drain the tablet battery rather than charge it. I'd call it a TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. DON'T BUY IT!!

CableForge 12v Vehicle Car Charger (Glows blue) for LG Optimus L9 P760 cell phone coiled stretch po

CableForge 12v Vehicle Car Charger for LG Optimus L9 P760 cell phone coiled stretch power charger micro USB 4ftthe charger broke on the same day so I really wasn't pleased about that but I'm not tripping because i older a USB card

Poor quality. The miniplug doesn't even fit the phone properly, very loose. The coiled cable is very flimsy and light guage wiri. Not worth keeping but not worth the bother sending back. Only thing it does do is glow blue. WOW Would definately not recommend.

Tursion USB Port Heavy Duty Output Car Charger - Black

Tursion USB Port Heavy Duty Output Car Charger - BlackI bought this charger so that I could charge things on the go such as my laptop, digital camera, phone, iPod, and tablet. However, the only thing that any of these charging tips actually will fit is my cell phone. It doesn't charge an iPod or anything like that, and I have even tried 3 different laptops but the plugs don't fit. I have about half a dozen phone chargers, if I knew that is all this would work for, I certainly wouldn't have purchased it.

Show N Go License Plate Holder - Fully Powered w/Remote

Show N Go License Plate Holder - Fully Powered w/Remote1. Installed on a 2010 Challenger under the front chin spoiler to flipup on demand. Works but you must hold down either __ or [ ] button on the remote to deploy or retract the plate. You cant just hit the button once and have it go till fully up or fully retracted.

2. Because of above, when sitting inside car, you need to know how long it takes to deploy or retract the plate or you endup having it sticking straight out from car lol.

3. As it gets dirty from normal driving, the little cables slip and the guides drag more causing the plate to take longer to deploy or retract. If you live in a mostly sunny place or drive your vehicle on nice days only then this will likely not be an issue. Daily drivers beware.

4. Recommend always have it up to display your front plate and only stow it for special occasions like a show or car meet-n-greet. It just doesn't seem to have durability for daily use.

Bought a 2013 Corvette and, after talking to sales-dude, decided to get the "hidden license" plate bracket instread of having dealer drill holes in the nose for the stock bracket (besides, it looks ugly). Order placed with ProTrim on 9-DEC, received my kit on 11-DEC, so lovin' the fast order and shipment (yea, Protrim!). So, off to the dealer for installation.

Problems encoutered during the installation, the cables which drive the whole works became twisted and came loose. Contacted "Greg" at ALTEC (manufacturer of the kit) for a replacement on 14-DEC. He took my address and said he would "get one out right away". I sent him email with same info. One week later, 18-DEC, no replacement bracket, so, I called "Greg" again. He acted like he never heard of me (not too surprising), but said that "we don't normally do that, we usually wait for the defect part to come back and then we repair it". Was this a "failure to communicate" situation starting? So, after a bit of cajolling, "Greg" said he would get one out straight away. Today is 24-DEC and still no replacement bracket.

Here's my plan of action: I've ordered a similar product from Mid America Motorworks, a firm specializing in Corvette performance and parts. I decided on the "manual" version of the license plate bracket after reading some of the older reviews.

After speaking to my mechanic at my dealer, who's installed many of this type of hidden plate systems (this was his 14th Altec product, 100+ of other makes), in his opinion the Altec "Show-n-go" is a problematic device as he has had issues with their quality along with lack of protection for the cable system and motor. In fact, it was my mechanic who pointed me to Mid America Motorworks and the manual hidden bracket kit.

Conclusion: In my not so humble opinion, "Greg" at ALTEC Products probably should not be in customer service since he doesn't follow through and this "mechanical marvel" should only be used on "trailer queens". Otherwise, if you have $130 to waste, send $70 of it to Wounded Warriors Project and take the other $50-60 and contact Mid American Motorworks for their manual hidden license plate bracket....or not.

I am returning this POS to the supplier.

I feel like I wasted my money on this item for my CV. Anyone with a sports car already knows that they sit low. A little hit from anything and the motor stop working. Second time I hit a piece of wood on the street and it just ripped it to shreds. SO, if you plan on driving like an angel then get it. If you don't.. don't get it.

I guess for the money this is ok for what you get.

I would have been better off getting the manual one as mine broke a week after installing it.

The small wire that attaches to the plate bracket itself needs some sort of a swivel because as the plate comes out and up and then back down again it bends the wire back and forth and eventually breaks.

This device does what it is supposed to do, i.e. charge two rechargeable AA batteries. That's the "pros". The "cons" are: 1) it takes about an hour to complete its work. 2) The batteries are difficult to remove from the charger. The instructions say don't use a sharp object to remove them but I have to use a small screw driver to extract them. 3) There is no cord. The device itself plugs directly into the wall outlet. That's not terrible, but having a cord would be nice.

This charger will save a lot of batteries. The charger works great and the customer service provided by Garmin has been amazing. (I lost one of the plugs and Garmin sent me a new part for FREE.) I still carry a set of alkaline batteries just in case the rechargeable ones die.

The supplied rechargeable batteries will not charge. They actually never charged, even out of the box. I am not sure if it is the charger or the batteries. But I messed with it long enough that now it is outside of the return window. I just couldn't believe something from Garmin, and Amazon, would not work out of the box and I thought I was doing something wrong.

Car Charger for Pantech Pursuit II P6010

Car Charger for Pantech Pursuit II P6010This was a log cheaper than the chargers at AT&T. Quality product and work well. Made with durable materials that should last for awhile.

I have a 2007 Honda Accord with 2 DC 12 volt sockets. One in front and one in the arm rest. The charger does not stay in either. In the picture you can see a silver part on the side. It is a button on each side you squeeze (I think to help it stay plugged in) but the charger pops out when you push it in the socket. It could be how our sockets are positioned but I bought it with the red hard case so it was a cheap add-on. You can try and see if it will fit in your care but if you have a Honda anything you will probably have the same problem.

Duracell DRINVC130 130W Power Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB Port

Duracell DRINVC130 130W Power Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB PortOverall this is a great little charger. My favorite feature would definitely have to be the DC plug since my car only has 1, and I don't have to buy another splitter to power other devices.

For powering a laptop, the AC plug works great.

The main reason I bought it was to power a HP Touchpad, which apparently the 2.1amp USB plug still has trouble doing.

The only other complaint I would have about it is that the fan makes a quiet ticking noise. It's just loud enough to hear; if it were more like a fan noise I wouldn't have an issue with it.

I initially was looking for an inverter with an extra 12V power outlet because I have a Soundfly Car FM Transmitter for SD card/USB/MP3 in my older car (which lacks an Aux input on the stereo), and the Soundfly occupies the 12V outlet all the time. Finding such an inverter which ALSO has a USB power port, and a 2.1A high-powered one at that, was a huge bonus. And the cup-holder form factor is very convenient. This product is brilliant; absolutely, totally perfect, or it WOULD be... And that brings us to some of the minor drawbacks.

For one thing, there is no On/Off switch on the inverter. My car never turns off its 12V socket, key in the ignition or no key. The Duracell inverter theoretically will disengage if the car battery gets low, but I'd rather not find out. That means remembering to unplug the thing every time so as not to leave the inverter circuits constantly live on the battery, which greatly lessens its convenience.

For another thing, the USB port is supposed to be a high-current 2.1A variety. However, my iPad2 doesn't seem to charge at full speed on it. The iPad SAYS it's charging, and the charge percentage doesn't go down, but then, it doesn't really go up, either.

Another minor complaint, the inverter fan generates a faint ticking buzz. It's enough to be irritating if you're sitting in the parking lot listening to something quiet, but luckily, once you're underway, the fan is easily masked by engine and road noise. I rarely notice it, and honestly, the Duracell is much quieter than the last inverter I owned.

(Also, there is only one of each kind of port. One 12V, one AC, one USB. For me this is perfect, but if you need, say, multiple USB charge ports, you might need to go a different way.)

I have addressed these concerns by: Ignoring the fan noise. Using my iPad on the USB port, and not worrying about whether it's charging at full speed or not. (If my iPad is REALLY low and I need it to definitely charge FAST, I can always plug its own little white charger into the AC outlet on the inverter. Shouldn't have to do that, but it works.) And finally, I installed a heavy duty lamp cord switch on the inverter's 12V power feed wire, so I can leave the unit plugged in in my car but turn it on and off. Thus voiding the product warranty, but for me, the increase in usefulness was worth it.

Overall, this is a highly useful gadget, I use it every day and am glad it's there every day.

Buy Duracell DRINVC130 130W Power Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB Port Now

This is a great little inverter for the money. It doesn't get 5 stars because of one very big problem--if you leave it plugged in, it will run your battery down if your vehicle continues to send power to the cigarette lighter even when the key is turned off. Luckily for me, this happened to me in a nice, heated garage, and I had another vehicle with jumper cables handy. Since then, I have been very careful about unplugging it every time I get out of the car. The cupholder shape fits perfectly into my car's cupholder. I love the fact that it has 3 outlets--(1) 12v outlet, (1) 120v outlet, and (1) usb charger port. I can charge my phone, listen to my mp3 player (powered by 12v), and run my GPS off the wall charger all at the same time. When I was researching to buy this unit, I spent a lot of time looking for one similar to this. There are cheaper and less expensive units out there. Very few had the size, power, and function of this unit. It's been great so far. It's never overheated (yet), and it is so quiet, I can't even hear it running, even with the car turned off. When I bought this, it was about $40.

Garmin Nuvi 765T Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery.

Garmin Nuvi 765T Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery.
  • Guaranteed for One Full Year
  • High Capacity 1250 mAh 3.7V Battery
  • Replaces Garmin Nuvi 765T Battery
  • Kit Includes How To Video Instructions and Tools
  • Warranty and Instructional Video Available Only With Kit Purchased from Innovate88

If you own a Nuvi 765T you probably know by now that when constantly using the unit powered from the car's cigarette lighter, the original battery will drop dead and loose its ability to charge pretty quickly. After about 2 years owning one, the battery would hold a charge for no longer than 5 minutes. I was sure I'd find an elegant solution out there to service the unit myself, and sure enough, I came upon this product/

This is a very practical solution to refurbishing your Nuvi 765T GPS. It comes complete with a screwdriver and lever needed to unscrew and pry the unit open. A double-sided tape would have been a nice add-on but I was able to use the one I peeled off the old battery from inside the GPS. There is also not much room for the battery to room around inside so I wasn't too worried. All in all, it took me 3 minutes to replace the battery.

Highly recommendable to make a low cost battery uplift to your used / battery depleted unit.

Buy Garmin Nuvi 765T Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery. Now

I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this kit with a DVD to tell me how to install a new battery in my Garmin Nuvi 765T. I was very pleasantly surprised to see (by watching the enclosed DVD that ran without a hitch on my computer) that I just had to unscrew two small screws in the back, use the green shimmy tool to GENTLY pry open the case (and this was the hardest part took me probably about 6 minutes, but it wasn't awful...just had to be careful and patient the video made it look a bit easy), disconnect two circuits on the board which came out easily, take out the old battery (again, a little patience required because of the cement-like glue they use to hold it to the back of the Garmin's case), use a piece of double-sided tape which I had in a drawer (didn't come in the kit...sounds like some people get double-sided tape and others don't) to seat the new battery where the old one was and stick it down, then go in reverse!

Having the DVD helped relieve any anxiety about the "procedure" of opening up my GPS. It really was easier than I had expected. The battery showed 4 bars (full) on my Garmin when I booted it back up, which made me smile. :) Charging now for the heck of it and I plan to give it a shot tomorrow since I use my GPS several times a week. Now I can spend the money I saved on maps for life. Thanks, seller, for a GREAT product I'll definitely be back if I need your help again! :D CHEERS!

I live in the Chicago area and leave my unit in the car all year around. Not good for battery life but if I leave it in the house, it will never be with me when I REALLY NEED IT! So my two year old battery would last about 5 minutes. I'm going on a trip this month and wanted to be able to search the area when away from my car. I researched replacement batteries and found the YouTube for the NewPower99. Looked easy enough ... so I gave it a try. I really took my time since I'm not a computer whiz. It took 7 minutes ... turned it on ... and it turned right on. To my surprise, the battery was fully charged. The tools that came with the battery were easy to use and great to have around for when I need to tighten the screw in my glasses. Don't be afraid of this ... just watch the video while you do it and your good to go.

Want Garmin Nuvi 765T Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery. Discount?

I am not sure whether our Garmin is simply a lemon or whether this product is. It might well be the former but either way we have no functioning GPS. Installation was simple thanks to the accompanying video and our Garmin appeared to kick in with full power when we first charged it up. But, alas, it drained, displayed "Low Battery," and stopped working within 30 minutes just as it had prior to switching out the battery. Very annoying. I would make sure you truly have a battery issue before you purchase this because we obviously can't go back to Garmin now having opened the unit and installed this.

I thought my Garmin was a goner after I allowed the battery to get fried by the sun while in my vehicle. I was actually looking for a replacement when I came across this product. It came with everything needed (including special tools) to replace the battery and a DVD with very clear instructions. It took me maybe 10 minutes to complete and my Nuvi has worked great ever since.

Samsung ECS-K1E1BEGSTA Car mount kit for SGH-I717 with Suction Holder, Dashpad and Car Charger - Re

Samsung ECS-K1E1BEGSTA Car mount kit for SGH-I717 with Suction Holder, Dashpad and Car Charger - Retail Packaging - BlackI'll keep it simple.

fit like a glove.

when phone is docked, it defaults to 'Voice talk' profile until changed

3.5mm audio out, when docked audio default to output until changed in settings

dedicated power port

included dc power cord (4 feet)

strong suction

comes with dash plate

one issue...if phone in direct sunlight...dock and phone get very hot.

Another issue...if using Samsung cover it barely fits in the dock.

The base and suction cup are great quality and attaches nicely. I was looking for a mount for a Galaxy Note 2 and this one came up and appeared to fit the bill. When I got it mounted, the Note 2 didn't fit well. You have to angle it just right in order for it to charge properly. I have already gotten rid of the packaging so can't send it back and had to buy another one. I don't know if it is designed for the Note 1 and the changes were just subtle enough to make the mount not suited for the Note 2. Shame on me for not keeping the packaging, but a little disappointed that the description was misleading.

Buy Samsung ECS-K1E1BEGSTA Car mount kit for SGH-I717 with Suction Holder, Dashpad and Car Charger - Re Now

The good:

1. The sliding micro USB connector connects and disconnects from the device very easily.

2. Many apps have functionality that is only activated when dock connector is engaged (eg. Spotify actually switches to landscape orientation).

3. The phone fits the mount perfectly, and looks nice mounted on the dash.

The bad:

1. There is very annoying interference from the car engine when using the audio out from the dock. I tried two chargers (including the official Samsung car adapter), and two audio cables, thinking it may be a grounding issue, but the interference remains. My Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth hands-free/charger has no interference at all, so I have to suspect this dock is at fault.

2. The package did NOT include the mounting plate that was advertised.

3. The suction cup doesn't adhere to any surface (including the glass) for longer than 15 minutes without falling off. The mounting plate would probably solve this had it been included. I was uncomfortable leaving my phone in the unit for fear it would take fall damage, until I worked around it by milling two channels through the base with a Dremel tool, and driving two bolts directly through it and into my dash, mounting it very securely.

4. The dock angles up and out at a steep angle, and the plastic isn't rigid enough to support the weight of the phone, causing it to shake a great deal while driving. The phone fits so tightly that it's in no danger of falling out, but the rattling noises caused by this are extremely annoying. I fashioned a kick-stand out of a small aluminum rod to solve this, but a product should not require this many workarounds.

Other thoughts:

I can't fault Samsung for their precision engineering on this, but this dock is incompatible with every case I have, including the 0.2mm ultra-thin case I purchased hoping it would fit. If you feel a case is a necessity to protect your camera lens, look for a different dock.

OEM Sprint Micro USB Rapid Car Vehicle Auto Plug in Battery Charger , Home Wall Travel Charger - Al

OEM Sprint Micro USB Rapid Car Vehicle Auto Plug in Battery Charger , Home Wall Travel Charger - All-in-One Combo PackI really like this charger. It has 2 USB ports and will work in the car or house. I put one in both cars for trips, etc. It does not come with a microUSB cord, but that was not a big deal to me, especially for the price. I would have given 5 stars if it did not say Sprint on it.

This phone charger is quite handy and saves me from having to carry two different phone chargers whenever I travel (one for the car and one for indoors). I was not able to use the supplied USB cable with my particular BlackBerry phone (Style 9670) as it would not receive a charge with it, but the plug works fine with my OEM BlackBerry USB cable and the supplied cable charges other phones in my home, so I'm happy with the purchase. This was a great buy for the price.

Just like the one from the Sprint store, only cheaper. They are good for putting in a book bag or computer case because they have both a cigarette charger and a plug for AC outlet. They charge a variety of devices with USB ends, but don't charge an iPad.

I purchased 10 of them and I noticed that some of them don't put constant output that is causing the phone to report constantly that the charger is unplugged and plugged again that can be bad for the battery. Also It can't handle two phones at the same time that requires 750 mA charging.Having only one connected at the same time it works good. Anyway I decided to buy this because of the price and USB connector. The micro USB cable I got it from monoprice because they offer life time warranty. This small usb connectors constantly get broken.

Motorola 10 Mile GMRS / FRS TALKABOUT T6510XLR 2 Way Radio Rechargable Walkie Talkie Special Packag

Motorola 10 Mile GMRS / FRS TALKABOUT T6510XLR 2 Way Radio Rechargable Walkie Talkie Special Package with $40 Accessories
  • Up to 10 mile range (twice as many other motorola 2 way radio, like T5950, etc. Based on unobstructed line of site, range will vary based on terrain and conditions)
  • 22 Channels, each with 99 Subcodes; / 10 audible call tones;
  • 8 Weather Channels (NOAA Weather Radio with Alert Mode)
  • Voice activation (vox); / VibraCall Alert; / Enhanced Voice Activation
  • Talk confirmation tone; / Keypad lock; / Backlit display

I was a bit reluctant at buying these radios for being only available in this special package. I could not find information on them as separated units, not even in Motorola's web pages (though they look exactly the same as the T6500). Finally, the price and the number of accesories made it a very good offer so I decided to take the risk. Besides, I never believed the 10 miles range promised since they were 1W units, same as many others that are supposed to be only 5 to 7 miles. However, to my surprise, in a trip to Easter Island I managed to sustain a normal conversation with a partner that was 18 Km away from me (about 11 miles). I am sure of this because I measured the distance with my GPS. The conditions were optimal though, as I was at the top of a hill (400m high) and the other radio was at sea level with no obstructions in between, other than being inside a car.

I must admit that I was very impressed by this result and I can recommend them to anybody. They are not the smallest nor the lightest GMRS radios you can find, but you will not be disappointed. The radios look good quality and the weight, slightly heavier than average, indicate a solid construction and good internal shielding. Battery duration is similar to other Motorola models. I have had many other models of Motorola FRS radios since 2001 (T280SLK, T6250, T5620), but these are clearly the best of them.

The price is a bargain for the spec (Standard GMRS/FRS channels + NOAA weather radio, vibrate, earbuds/PTT mic, battery packs and charger). They're rugged looking units, and work on 3xAA size batteries, which gives a potentially longer operating time than radios with AAA's.

However, my main gripe with these things is the quality of the audio output when receiving transmissions from another walkie talkie. Just terrible, in my opinion. Compared against my cheap-o 'Columbia' FRS units ($30 for the full kit), speech from the Mot T6510s is just about unintelligible. I keep having to ask people to repeat what they said and put my ear right up against the speaker. Using the earpiece doesn't improve matters much.

Transmitting from a T6510 to another brand is fine, so it's not the microphones. Receiving NOAA messages is also quite audible; but that's a clearly spoken, recorded message. I think the problem is that the AF section seems to only chuck out a very high, squawky, mid-range tone whereas my other units have a much flatter, softer response. If I didn't like the look and features so much, I'd have taken them back for a refund long ago.

The other thing I don't like is the rotary volume control, protruding from the top (same as most Motorola radios). I find that when worn on the belt clip, clothing makes the knob rotate back to the 'min' position and I find myself continually checking that the volume's turned up while on a walk. The vibrate feature has come in handy there.

Same as the other review so he is not lying the cable is junk. I had the same error as him something about did not get first ak or failed connection. I tried the software provided by the manufacturers website because the cd I received was blank, also tried chirp and I tried shaving down the male end on the cable as suggested by the manufacturer for a better fit on the radio receptacle with no luck.

The radio works great the programming sucks because there are potentially a lot of different settings that go into each channel but once you get past that the radio works great and has a lot of advanced features like dpl and so on.

Again for the price its an awesome radio.

Follow up on this review. I figured out the problem with the cable which is user error. So after a more careful analysis of the manufacturers website, I saw that for the firmware release on my uv-r5 I downloaded the wrong program. The software for programming the baofeng is release specific with in a range of firmware. So after turning off the radio and holding the 3 button while turning it back on I saw that I have firmware **97**. So, I downloaded the corresponding software with appropriate driver for the serial cable and it worked.

Apologies for the confusion.

Programming cable doesnt work, maual is useless. However the low price masks alot of the problems. Bought this radio to use on the ham bands and the land mobile service for my volunteer fire dept.. However I havent been able to get all the channels programmed yet, due to the cable not talking to the radio. (radio fails to acknowledge first command) I think they were just trying to get rid of some bogus cables. Save yourself the headache and throw it in the dumpster where it belongs, and buy yourself a name brand programming cable!!!!!!!! I am a 9 year veteran of the computer repair industry so do not just chalk it up to user error on my part. Despite all the headache its an ok transciever and a stunningly brilliant radio for the price! So maybe I should just be thankfull that my Icom IC-91A still does its job very well that its not a time critical thing. But I do hate putting my Icom in the pocket of my turnout coat and then truck on up to a burning building with hoses going! Thats why I bought the Baofeng with cable specifically to be disposable, however if I have to invest this much time hand keying only 16 different channels I might not think its so disposable! argh but I digress BUYER BEWARE OF EXACTLY WHAT YOUR GETTING INTO!!!! If your a radio communications and computer technician/ hobbiest fine then it makes a good experiment. I wouldnt want to deploy a fleet of them though. If your a lay person, stay away unless you have very good freinds who are the aforementioned hobbiest/ technician otherwise buy from somewhere that isnt red china! But if you are into figuring out strange technology you might be into this thing. I like it ok enough just for use under my GMRS license

Moultrie 6-Volt Solar Panel

Moultrie 6-Volt Solar PanelI have several deer feeders I've been using for over 10 years and have tried many different battery chargers as I run the feeders year round. I find these Moultree chargers to be the best. Easy to mount on the leg of the feeder and they last for several years. Only complaint: the electric line is NOT shielded and squirrels eat through it after a few months or so. I always need to go back and encase the electric lines in a metal sheath that I get at Lowes or Home Depot. Also, the batteries usually die after a year or two before the solar charger fails. Also remember to clean the solar charger every few months to keep it operating at peak efficiency. Keeep the charger aimed at the best afternoon sun also. It should get at least 2-3 hours of sunlight a day. More is better, but I find it only needs 2-3 hours a day to keep the batteries fully charged. I also use a 7ah 6-volt battery instead of the standard 4.5ah 6-volt battery as it defiantely lasts longer.

Works as advertised. With this and a 6 volt rechargeable battery, I was able to keep my deer feeder going the entire season (I usually go through about 3 to 4 alkaline batteries in this amount of time). I have a meter on my feeder that gives me the status of battery power. After 4 months it still says the battery has 100% power. It was nice to know that after a busy week at work, that I could go sit in the stand on saturday morning and know that me feeder was working.

Lincoln Lubrication 1442 14.4 Volt Powerluber Kit - 1 Battery

Lincoln Lubrication 1442 14.4 Volt Powerluber Kit - 1 BatteryI am in the service business, so having a portable battery operated Grease gun is the best thing since sliced bread. In my opinion you need the best equipment to do a job right.

This works great! Have been struggling with holding a nozzle in place while trying to hand pump a regular grease gun. The first day I greased the disc, tractor, both 4 wheelers and lawnmowers, then looked around for other things to use it on. I usually had to take a break while just doing the disc, as my hand felt like it was ready to fall off with the hand pump grease gun. The grease goes just where you want it and can always be sure it is delivering enough. Very clean and efficient. Nice case, but it will not go back in the case with a full tube of grease installed. Very portable, do not have to be hooked to an air hose, electrical cord or use a manual grease gun.

I own a company with 11 pieces of equipment that need periodic grease lubrication, so we have in recent years opted for these battery powered lubers. This one works very well, holds a charge for a nice length of time and has performed extremely well. Highly recommend.
