OEM BlackBerry Curve Charge Pod 8300 8310 8320 8330 BlackBerry Curve 8300, 8310, 8320, 8330

OEM BlackBerry Curve Charge Pod 8300 8310 8320 8330 BlackBerry Curve 8300, 8310, 8320, 8330I really needed this charger when my daughters usb adapter on her BB Curve 8320 loosened up and stopped charging. I did not know that anything like this existed until I started looking around on Amazon for an alternative. This will charge your blackberry lightling fast. The shipping was also really fast, arrived 4 days earlier than expected. According to my girl it looks really cool.

A simple, inexpensive charge stand for the BlackBerry Curve. No frills, no data connection, but power.

The USB charging port on my wifes Blackberry came unsoldered inside the phone, so I purchase this for her to use and we like this much better than having to plug in the usb cable to charge it. Great price, fast shipping, great product.

This base looks great, is very solid, and works exactly as expected. The recharger that comes with BlackBerry plugs into the back of this cradle and charges through two connectors on the back of the BlackBerry, so this will not work with most "skin" type cases.

I like that the BlackBerry screen is visible when it is in the cradle so I can see my email and phone calls. Due to the weight and the rubberized base this is a very stable base, which allows you to still use the BlackBerry when seated in the base.

Highly Recommended!

Unique Gomadic Portable Rechargeable Battery Pack for the Samsung Captivate - High Capacity Gomadic

Unique Gomadic Portable Rechargeable Battery Pack for the Samsung Captivate - High Capacity Gomadic charger that fits in your pocketThis item helped my phone last through my long days of use. Typically could juice up my phone from ~10-15% to 100% twice before needing recharge. Design could have been a little better, as the plug in switching and carrying (without losing) attachments can be annoying. Battery pack is beginning to degrade after a few months of this daily use, which is expected.

I really like this product. It does take a while to transfer the charge to my phone but I like the availability of multiple tips,so that I can use it on different products, and there have been times when it has come in handy. I also like the fact that the tip that fits the Captivate is the same tip that fits the Kindle, which I purchased recently.

Kawasaki 840110 Black 19.2-Volt Drill Kit

Kawasaki 840110 Black 19.2-Volt Drill KitPrice is attractive but you will remember the poor quality long after the low price is forgotten. Drill is made by AllTrade. Drill head on the drill I received for Christmas was not properly aligned, so the bit wobbles with every turn of the drill head. I sent it back to AllTrade for correction while under warranty with a thorough description of the problem but the drill came back in the same condition in which I sent it. Wish I had simply returned it.

If your buying this to be a work horse I probably wouldn't bother, but if your a home handy man who needs a nice cheaply priced drill this is it. I've been in the construction business for over 30 yrs and have always bought heavy duty drills. My drills still work good but having to spend big dollars on a battery just dosn't make sense to me any more. I bought this drill at Christmas and have used it on and off for the last three months. So far it has plenty of power and is a buy for the money. The bits that came with are also pretty good in quality. So for a forty dollar drill I say go for it.

I picked one of these up in a local warehouse club last year, around $40, and used it fairly extensively for a couple of months to install wood floors. It was a compact and well balanced unit, and I liked the way it felt in the hand. Plenty of power for a basic drill/driver, and good battery life.

But after about three months, the switch burned out, and it would no longer work. I dissected it to see if I could fix it, but the switch was shot. I have been unable to find a parts supplier online or otherwise. Kawasaki's sites do not even acknowledge that they make such a product, so I suspect it is manufactured in China and imported under the K label. The reviewer below indicates it is made by AllTrade, but their website says send it back to them, and does not list the replacement parts for sale. Shipping and repair costs will likely be more than the unit originally cost.

It was a nice unit while it lasted, and I may be able to resurrect it with a homemade switch (sacrificing variable speed control).

But based on my experience, I would recommend you spend a little more to get one from a reputable tool manufacturer that stands behind its products.

While it's true that there was a recall on the batteries, it looks like the folks that had trouble with the batteries only being good for 10 to 15 holes did the following: "Put the battery in the charger, and let it sit there." What happens is that a green LED comes on and one would think it's charging. That's not the case. One actually has to push a (flat to the surface) button to initiate charging. So you push the button and a RED light comes on and stays on until the battery is charged. At which point the green light comes on indicating a charged battery.

I must admit I didn't read the manual and thus was running the drill 'for two months' without actually charging it. I only thought I was charging it. That's two months of use on just the battery come-back! That was over two years ago and now that I'm actually charging it the drill has more than enough power and longevity to spare.

Really, the only bad thing I have to say about the drill is that the two spring clip retainers for the drill bits wear out after extended use. But I was always weary about keeping bits there anyway, although I did.

The reason I'm looking at this drill on Amazon is that I was thinking about getting another one, because it's just handy to not having to change the bit all the time from a drill bit to a driving bit.

I am, and have been, happy with the drill and it's an excellent value for the p;rice. If you don't need a corded, heavy duty drill then this Kawasaki will do the job for you.

Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller

Sunforce 7 Amp Charge ControllerBad:

Really cheap quality. Included instructions don't provide enough information. Website is just as un-informative. Cheap connector wires (low current), and is not equipped with screw-on terminal junctions.

Good: Product works as advertised. Amazinlgly "regulates" the voltage to the required amount so as not to overcharge the battery. Beware though, in order to test the actual output voltage, you must apply a load on the battery end of the controller BEFORE. Failing this, the output can register volts as high as 20 volts !!! Apparently applying an actual load causes the controller to output the correct voltage range lucky me, cause I bought 4 units ! The LEDS alternately flickers (fast for good voltage input and slow for low to no voltage on solar panel). The manual did NOT state the order of LED flashes.

(1) Fast LED flashes good voltage/current

(2) Slow LED flashes low/no voltage/current

(3) steady Green fully charged

(4) steady amber possible no load OR really low voltage/current

I recommend you go out and buy 'em. The are a really good deal and does the job at the best price ! I use them in Jamaica, to provide my appliances with power during power outages (very frequent here). Used with solar panels and DC to AC inverter, of course. Considered using a generator, but too many accidents here with generators, too noisy, too bulky, and during hurricane aftermath, fuel is a problem. Solar is freely available, so it was the BEST option all round.

Hope this helps all readers !

This unit is simply an electronic switch, it is either on or off. The problem with that is that when it is on the full force of a high current is applied to the battery and if the battery is almost charged the battery voltage quickly rises to the cut-off voltage (14.2v). When current is cut off the battery voltage quickly falls to the turn on voltage (13.1v), and the unit turns the current on again. This can happen several times a minute when the current is high and the battery is almost charged. Also, in operating this way, the battery never gets fully charged, which requires a small constant current.

I strongly recommend that anyone considering this unit spend another $10 and buy the vastly superior HQRP 10Amp controller or something similar which controls the amount of current, rather than just switching current on or off.

Buy Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller Now

Two wires to the battery and two wires to the solar panel. It doesn't get much simplier than that. Worked flawlessly out of the box. Yellow LED indicates charging while green LED indicates the battery is charged.

I have this unit connect to two automotive 12V batteries with three 15W panels connect to it. So far the charger works as advertised by preventing battery drain when the sun goes down and charging while the panels are producing at least 13 volts. It is pretty much an install and forget item. Additionally I have those same two batteries tied into one of my trucks 12V power points so that the batteries charge when the vehicle is running by way of the alternator. Even with this double charging set up, the charge controller appears unphased and shows a charge light in the daytime and has on two occasions indicated a fully charged green light.

As a few others have posted, in here, the quality control on this Chinese unit is poor. The wiring on my unit was reversed. Once I set things right, the unit worked correctly for about four months before complete failure. My battery died in the bargain, due to the unit failure that allowed my battery to drain completely with no load on it except this unit and the solar panel. I'll try one more and then update this review. Update: I just ordered: KINTREX SPC0601 Solar Charge Controller 7Amp, 100 Watt,... At just $10, on this site, it's a far better deal and has an extra indicator light for low charge condition. The connectors should mate up perfectly if the pictures are accurate. As far as the reversed wiring goes, in all electrical applications with connectors, an exposed contact is normally the ground, coming from a power source. The hot side is recessed and/or shielded to keep you from grabbing it and then a grounded object or contact, which would result in a shock. This scheme is reversed, obviously, in the non-powered side of the circuit, ie., the thing you're sending the power to that mates with the connection just described. When I called Sunforce's rep, in Canada, and spoke with him, he denied knowledge of any other incidents of reversed wiring. That's really curious, as others have posted about the reversals, as I mentioned, above. UPDATE: 4/2011The Kintrex unit works flawlessly. You are well-advised to go with it and leave the reviewed unit, as above, alone. It costs much more and is inferior.

Black Rapid Home Travel AC Charger (110-240v) + Black Rapid Car Charger for Nintendo NDS Lite DS Li

Black Rapid Home Travel AC Charger + Black Rapid Car Charger for Nintendo NDS Lite DS LiteThese chargers came in a set of two; one for the home and one for the car. They have proven to be extremely useful and convenient when charging my son's Nintendo DS. I couldn't find chargers for his DS in the stores (they only have chargers for DSI's), and I'm glad I found these online.

I bought 2 sets just for the 240V capability. I got 2 sets both 110V only. I just realized that the 6 pictures actually show 2 different chargers, I got the second one. I wrote to Electromaster. They replied that they want their customers satisfied, what is the problem, what should they do? I thought the problem is clear and they must know what to do. So I asked them to replace my chargers with the correct 110-240V versions. They never replied to that.

  • Use a USB cord to charge your Keyboard, iPod, iPhone, MP3 player, Flip Video Recorder, mobile phone, or standard USB device that can be charged with a USB cable
  • Great with Menotek Flexible Bluetooth Waterproof Mini Keyboard
  • Travel Charger: Output is DC 5v 600ma(Max) and Input 110-220v 100ma 50/60Hz
  • Car Charger: Output DC 5.2v 600ma(Max) and Input DC12-24v 800mA
  • Led light

The Travel and Car USB Chargers provide a great alternative to charging the Bluetooth Keyboard for the iPad. The wall unit provides the current needed to keep this keyboard productive. I would have appreciated smaller versions of both chargers. I think they are too large for today's restrictive airline weights and sizes.

Great product and very convenient... it is a great alternative and charges my iPhone as it is supposed to.

Car DashBoard Video Camera Vehicle Video Accident Recorder DVR - 1080P Full HD Resolution Video, 2.

Car DashBoard Video Camera Vehicle Video Accident Recorder DVR - 1080P Full HD Resolution Video, 2.0' LCD DisplayAfter much research and deliberation, I ended up with this. It was originally in Russian but the manual was great and it took 10 seconds to get it to English.

I use a 8Gb MicroSD card, record in 1080P with 5 minute loops and this gives me about 2-3 hours of recording before it erases the oldest file. Each 5 minute video is approx. ~140-150Mb. Some people might complain that it erasing so fast is bad and what if they need something later; well, if there is an occurrence that you need to keep lock the file and it won't delete it. Otherwise, this is an install & forget device. It's great to have and isn't a nuisance and if an accident or ticket arises, will help you out immensely.

I work in Insurance and this is exactly what people need. The inaccuracies with human witnesses are too unreliable to be helpful during a claim or ticket dispute.

During the day, picture is great, if the sun is directly facing the camera; obviously there is a glare but that's unavoidable.

Can read street names, license plates everything it needs to do.

During nighttime, I personally do not turn on the 2 LED lights in the front, they are bright and don't add much quality.

Nighttime recording is a bit less detailed, given it's nighttime. But at stoplights it will record license plates and street signs depending on the type of sign. It shows the stoplights current color great and reflective lines in the street.

Audio is a bit meh, but what purpose does audio serve? None. Insurance / police don't care to hear you singing the Top 40 on the radio prior to the accident / that stop sign ticket violation, they care about visual proof.

The car cord is like 10 ft long, so when unraveling it, I would recommend not un-bundling all of it, just what you need to adequately have the cable connected and the rest tied up.

Overall, I am completely satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a dash cam.

(...) Daytime

(...) Nighttime

There are rightfully many mixed reviews about this car-cam on here. At first, mine had stopped working too, but it wasn't the camera's fault. In fact, the car-cam works perfectly fine if it's configured correctly. Here's how: 1. Do not buy a Class 10 micro-card. It will stop working soon after. Amazon recommends it by default, but it is wrong 2. Buy a Class 4 micro-card instead. The car-cam works with an older technology, so you must use the Class 4 type of card. I bought and used this one: Kingston 16 GB Class 4 MicroSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter SDC4/16GB and it works 100%. With the Class 10, mine stopped working after the card filled up, or thereabouts. After I read some detailed websites about car-cams, it's imperative you use the Class 4. I hope this helps both new buyers and older buyers as well, since Amazon is recommending the wrong type of card. Other than that, the camera works perfectly fine for $55. The playback is good enough for road use. The on/off with the car ignition is awesome too. Been working for a few months with no issues.

I have gone back and forth, trying to decide which camera to get. I finally got this one. CHECK MY VIDEO and you will see that this was a GREAT investment. The Clarity of this camera is amazing. Dont be fooled by the quality, when uploading videos, the videos lose some clarity. HOWEVER, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO READ THE LICENSE PLATES from the video in its Raw being (but of course you have to be close enough).

There are people that complain about how this camera isnt great quality. Well seriously, for about $50, what did you really expect? If you want TRUE 1080p, then mount a digital camera or a Real camera to get that quality.

For those of you who only need this for insurance purposes or to save your own ass, buy this gadget!

My only complaint is the fact that the mount is a bit flimsy (NOT THE SUCTION--THE SUCTION TO THE WINDSHIELD IS PERFECT). It's the fact that when I lean in to push the Power button, or the Record button, the Camera comes off the mount. I dont know, maybe its just me? Maybe I am not mounting it in correctly...

I bought this for my car after watching to many Russian YouTube videos. I had problems with it at first but I figured out that this camera cannot handle a 32gb sd card like it says even a top of the line one. I purchased a 16gb class 10 top of the line sd card and haven't had any problems now. It's pretty awesome, it shows date time and so on, really good video recorded. Turns on and records automatically when I start the car. So for the price it's worth it just make sure not to get to large of a sd card, if it wasn't for that it would get 5 stars. And I wish that the windshield mount swiveled. But it's a really good suction cup. :)

Want Car DashBoard Video Camera Vehicle Video Accident Recorder DVR - 1080P Full HD Resolution Video, 2. Discount?

Decent dash cam, you can easily read license #'s when your within 15 feet of the car in front. Does not offer a very wide angle of view, but will cover the nose of your vehicle, so you can show if someone cuts you off then brake checks you. Within 2 weeks my mount melted off my windshield from the sun. So if you live somewhere south of Colorado, you have to remove the mount every time you stop, and replace it every time before you go somewhere. I am currently making a super glue mount to my dash to put it back in working order (I don't care about ruining the dash). The cord will reach from anywhere inside the vehicle. Make sure you order a large SD card, I have a 4 GB in and get about 7, 5 min "1080p" (note: not really 1080p) loops.

Exide MC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 Sealed Maintenance Free (AGM) Marine Battery

Exide MC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 Sealed Maintenance Free Marine BatteryReceived this Deep Cycle battery 2 weeks ago from Amazon. The manufacture's production date was 11/2011 and the manufacture's ship date (to Amazon?) was 12/2011 so the battery was received factory fresh. It arrive with a full charge per my multi-meter at 12.8 volts. It has 840 cranking amps at 32 degrees and 700 cranking amps at 0 degrees. It is a 100 amp hour battery with a 200 minute reserve capacity.

This battery was installed in a diesel pusher motor home as the "house" battery, which is used to power the lights, heat, water pump etc. when you are not connected to utility power or running the generator.

It is heavy (at about 72 pounds) but since it is a sealed AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery we won't have to remove it every 6 months and check the water level in it as you do regular lead acid batteries.

We also use a NOCO Genius G7200 charger (also sold through Amazon) to keep it charged since it is a "smart" charger and will not over charge the battery. We no longer use the coach's built in 12 volt converter/charger to keep the batteries charged since it will over charge the batteries and shorten their life.

Even though we have only had the battery 2 weeks, I would recommend it for 3 reasons:

1. PRICE! When shopping around for a group 31 AGM battery, our local battery store (Batteries Plus) wanted $325.00 for theirs. (To be fair, their AGM battery was a hybird with 1000+ cranking amps it is across between a deep cycle battery and a starting battery.) Other places online wanted $250.00 or more and around $50.00 shipping!

2. Exide has been making batteries for over 120 years so I think they will be around to honor their 2 year replacement warranty.

3. As an AGM battery there little maintenance (Just wipe it off every now and then). I have had an AGM battery in our full size truck for 7 years with no problems to report. Our other vehicles have had to have their batteries replaces every 2 to 3 years. The heat in Texas is hard on a battery... (From now on when we replace the batteries in our vehicles, they too will be AGM batteries.)

We plan on purchasing 2 more of these batteries when our existing engine starting batteries need to be replaced in the coach.

Hope this helps someone!

I bought this battery for my travel trailer and it passed the test on a recent 10-day trip to Yellowstone park. I had plenty of power for the whole trip without having to recharge. There was not a hint of fading power on the whole trip. My previous battery, which is only a year old, did not last this long on week-long trips. I'm happy.

Added 1/13/13 I bought a motor home and no longer use this on a trailer. I am now using it as a battery for my Minn-Kota 50 lb thrust troling motor on my 2 boats. I can also hook up my fish finder to it and have plenty of power for both. It works as a back-up for the motor home though I haven't had to use it yet.

Buy Exide MC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 Sealed Maintenance Free (AGM) Marine Battery Now

I purchased two of the Exide MC-31 batteries from Amazon which were delivered in May, 2011. They were very well packaged and in excellent condition. After unpacking and inspecting the batteries, I was surprised to see that the manufacture date was May of 2010. The batteries had been in storage without charging for a full 12 months. The open circuit voltage indicated only about 75% charge, indicating that some plate sulphation must certainly have taken place by this time reducing the battery life and capacity. When I contacted Amazon their representative directed me to deal with the manufacturer. (Catch 22) The manufacturer did not supply the batteries to me directly and they were not actually defective (just old). I put the batteries into service and just hope their service life has not been shortened dramatically. When they were shipped to Amazon is not known, but selling lead acid batteries that are already a year old sounds like a huge oversite on Amazon's part. If you are considering the purchase of one of these batteries, I would suggest you contact Amazon first and inquire as to the date of manufacture.

I was a bit worried about ordering a battery from Amazon especially after the poor review and date problem listed below but, our travel trailer battery was dead and after checking local prices (whew!) decided to give this a try.

After reading all the reviews, opted for this one and then noticed, WarehouseDeals had one available for a few bucks less. Since batteries can't be returned in general, I figured the less spent, the less risk and opted to give it a go.

When the battery arrived, my initial reaction was "uh-oh" because it was dusty and dirty. No grease or anything but lots of dust...I think there was even a shoe-print on it! I dreaded the worst thinking this thing must have been sitting around the warehouse for ages. No so! I cleaned it off a bit and saw the date being the SAME month as shipped! Wow I can't even get batteries that new locally. In fact, I can't come anywhere near this price on this battery (or similar ones) locally...the next best price was about $100 more than what I paid.

Hooked it up to see the charge...was at 92%. Charged the remainder. Works like a charm! Couldn't be more pleased by this purchase. Great battery, great price, great delivery, very fresh! Oh it was dirty as all get-out but I saved about $100 so still very pleased!

Not sure why the production date of the battery I got was 12 months ago .. but it was fully charged and came packaged well enough. Since it shipped for free with Prime .. I'd hate to know what it would have cost with regular shipping cost considering its weight.

12V 8.5AH Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Battery for APC ES500 ES550 LS500 RBC110 RBC2

12V 8.5AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery for APC ES500 ES550 LS500 RBC110 RBC2My APC Back-UPS 500 is probably 12+ years old, and the original battery no longer holds enough charge to get my power sipping Mac mini and LCD monitor through the tiniest power glitch, so I did my research and found this offered the best deal for the dollar. At 8.5AH, it has 20% more power than the original 7AH battery had when new. $12 vs. $45. No brainer. Delivery was quick, installation was pretty easy, and my ancient UPS is working as a UPS once again.

Like the first reviewer said this battery is rated another 10-15% higher than the 7.xAmp batteries and is the same price... easy decision. This extra capacity should not confuse any decent UPS controller and like expected the ES550 works fine with the extra capacity without issue. Mine came promptly and worked like a charm. Of coarse there is the distinct possibility that some Chinese marketing dude is just lying on the 8.5 AH rating but since it was the same price, I'm really not risking much.

1. The unit worked until the first power glitch (Back UPS ES550) then I got a replace battery alarm. I have tried the battery in 3 different ES550 units, same failure. I am returning for replacement and will updte this when that occurs.

2. Update-8.16.12contacted the seller (email) who responded very quickly and said to dispose of the defective unit and they sent a replacement priority mail same day. The new battery works fine. I have simulated a power fail and it worked with no glitches and recharged as expected.

3. This company is very responsive in their communications. I think the bad unit was a fluke and plan to order another for a backup unit I have. The extra amphour is a plus.

Used this to replace the battery in an APC ES 550. Worked perfect and much more economical than either another APC battery or replacing the whole unit.

I originally bought the APC ES 550 thinking about longevity and saving money down the road when the battery went bad. Thanks to this battery that has worked out well. As long as reliable replacement batteries are available, I think the APC ES 550 would have an indefinite life span.

Electrical connections on this battery were fine and not loose. Fit just like the battery it replaced.

After a few years I needed to replace the battery in my APC ES 550. Working from a home office I mainly wanted the ability to gently power down my PC and any peripherals (external hard drives etc) in the event of an extended power outage. An extended outage this week gave me the chance to try this out. The battery performed better than expected. After about 10 minutes I had the laptop unplugged (running on its battery) and everything except the DSL modem turned off. I had internet access and was working for the entire 2+ hr outage. Home power outage does not equal a DSL or broadband service outage, so this was pretty nice. If your UPS is a few years old don't replace it just get a new battery. This one recommeneded.

Milwaukee 0780-20 28 Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum,

Milwaukee 0780-20 28-Volt Cordless Wet/Dry VacuumFirst, it should be obvious that this is a bare tool. The batteries/charger cost more than the unit. Therefore, it is good if you have other V28 tools.

Next, somewhere someone commented that this is as powerful as a corded vac. It is not. A normal shop vac is around 1000W to 1500W, and it is unrealistic to expect this little portable guy with a 1-1/4" hose to have the same power. It just isn't as powerful.

But, it has a very usable power for my intended purpose, which is to say, it has enough power to clean up a small "mess" without having to lug out a real vac. I find I'm also using it for a surprising amount of small around the house/in the car cleaning/dusting since it is so conveniently portable. The cordless portability is the reason to buy.

A major compromise between power and battery life is that the battery (a big V28 mind you) only lasts maybe 5 minutes. This is enough for a small project clean-up, but don't expect it to clean up your shop. On the plus side, it uses 1-1/4" accessories which concentrate the available suction well and which are also the standard size for home vacuum cleaners. This item does not come with a dust brush attachment which I considered a necessity, but luckily I just bought one for a regular home vac.

The hose is VERY flexible which is nice. It accordians down to a small U-shaped unit which fits into a holder on the side when not in use. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic since this was one of my questions when purchasing it. It is fairly easy to carry in one hand and vacuum with the other.

I cannot quite give it 5 stars because I think it is still a bit overpriced, and some parts like the hinges, etc., seem a bit on the cheap side and clunky to use. I cannot comment on long-term durability yet. Hope this review helps you.

I was excited to make this purchase and am glad I did. This is so handy and I find myself reaching for it all the time because it is so quick. One of the best things I found out about this unit, is that you can put the hose into two ports, one for suction and another for blowing. I use the blowing feature for cleaning out computers and filters. Works great. Absolutely love it.

Buy Milwaukee 0780-20 28 Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum, Now

This quality, powerful, suitcase-style vacuum was designed with the craftsman and home workshop in mind. If you already have the V28 batteries for other Milwaukee tools, you will find a use for this vacuum. It costs less than one V28 battery. Many work shops have several stations and dragging a hefty shop vac around on rollers through a maze becomes a real pain. It is also great for the commercial handyman who travels to people's homes to do odd jobs and is neat enough in appearance to please the lady who wants the shelves in her bedroom swapped with the shelves in her closet and a new do-dad added on to where the old do-hickey used to be hanging. For electricians and plumbers who sometimes work without power, this makes clean-up by either blowing or vacuuming a breeze. The self-contained, box shape with carrying handle makes transportation simple. Granted, if I didn't already have several V28 batteries, this tool would not have been an option. However, a man can not have too many tools.

Best yet cordless vac, tops all the DeWalt 18 volt I own. Sucks like a corded unit. I would buy it again.

Want Milwaukee 0780-20 28 Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum, Discount?

Nothing compares to this vacuum. Anyone complaining about battery life or saying your better off with a regular plug in vacuum is an idiot. It's great for small jobs but I get by with just using it instead of a huge corded vacuum on any job site. I find I use it more than a standard large vacuum because it is so portable. I've also used it to drain supply lines so they can be soldered for plumbing repairs (a real time saver). It's also great for hard to reach areas where a cord is just not in the cards. It's compact size makes it practical to carry in the truck daily which nay,ales your work better. If your on the fence hope off and get this vacuum!

Blackberry Curve 8330 Car Charger / Vehicle Charger

Blackberry Curve 8330 Car Charger / Vehicle ChargerItem exactly as described and most importantly-priced! Item does what it supposed to do, charge my BB. 5 stars. Also wanted to add that last week I was at the local mall and stopped by a cell phone accessory kiosk to browse, and what do you know, the same exact brand of charger was selling for $12.99 ea! I paid less than $5 (.02 + 4.96 s/h) for 2 here on Amazon!

The charger works perfectly, however many other chargers list that they ensure the battery doesn't over/under charge and are protected from surges. This one makes no claims on this, so I would be wary of leaving your phone charged without supervision.

****Update: The charger stopped working within a few weeks. Here's the deal you cannot stress the cord at ALL. If you can set your phone in a secure location in the car with no stress on the cord or connection this will work great. If you try to use the phone while plugged in or it bumps around it will stop working very quickly. The wires inside are the width of human hair.

Since the price was free, I feel that this purchase is worthwhile. However, unknowingly I unplugged the charger which has a fuse that connects the charger to the plug. The problem with this is that the fuse fell out of the charger when I unplugged it and fell on the floor. I tried to use the charger in another vehicle and it did not work. Eventually I figured out what happened. The charger seems to work fine.

I needed a sound dock for my Zune that wasn't $50 or more. I really haven't used much of the rest of it other than the chargers and those work well too. I do recommend some rechargable batteries for the dock though. The thing sounds well enough but it does a number on batteries. I'm just guessing but maybe 20hrs of play time out of a set of 4.

we have an old truck that sits most of the time, the battery was too weak to start, we tried to charge it but it would not take, so i decided to try this unit out. i hooked it up and let it sit for about a week, then with out even putting a charger on it i went out to start and it cranked over, after the unit has been on for three months the battery is starting great. i will be buying one of these for my rv battery, my car battery, and my motorcycle battery. thank you!

Resurrected a very dead (5.7V) 12 V battery after 2 weeks on the desufator. The battery was relatively new but had been short circuited (ignition on) and left for a few months.

The Wizbang Battery Desulfator arrived quickly. Attaching it to my car battery was a simple procedure and immediately the unit began its high pitched buzz which is typical for this type of unit. I used a zip tie to secure the desulfator to the carrying strap of the battery. Although the battery was already in fair condition, I suspect there was some sulfation on the plates from normal use. Since the technology is proven, I thought I would give it a try to maximize the life of my car battery. The unit does put a small but negligible drain on the battery (12.78V before installation, 12.55V 24 hours after installation with no driving). I'll keep it on the battery for approximately 5 weeks to obtain optimal results.

This product works very well for it's intended purpose and it's price can't be beat.

This unit emits a slight high pitched whine when it is working. If you plan on being around it while it is functioning for a prolonged length of time, it may become irritating. This unit is great to use away from work or living areas, in an industrial setting or under the car hood. On the up side, as the sulfates are removed from the battery the sound is reduced, which serves as a good indicator of it's progress.

I purchased it to use on office and entertainment center UPS batteries, but was disappointed by the sound, so I use it on storage batteries in my basement instead.

Also, be aware that this unit uses a minute amount of the batteries power to do it's work. Unless you are constantly charging the batteries such as driving you vehicle every day, or trickle charging unused batteries, this unit will eventually discharge the battery.

I bought a number of these units and installed them on numerous vehicles in order to develop a better opinion of its operation. After a number of months of use, all the units created a battery drain that outweighed the benefits of desulfation. The batteries began with a full charge as verified by a CCA digital tester. For a low usage recreational vehicle, after 2 weeks of non-daily use, the battery required an external charger before starting the vehicle. Battery recovery did not occur as tested by the CCA digital tester on any vehicle installed. One of these units completely failed as the green LED does not light and the high pitched audible from the unit ceases to be present. For this vehicle, a 120V powered external desulfator was used for CCA recovery. When contacting the vendor, they commented that there was a very small drainage from the battery to run this unit, but not enough to drain it to a point where the battery would be significantly affected. As observed, this statement is false. The company refused to support their units because they claimed it was outside their 30 day warranty. My recommendation is to stay away from this unit. Rather, purchase a unit that shuts off when the vehicle is not running and only runs while the vehicle's alternator runs. Also, look for a company that stands behind their unit no less than 5 years, preferably lifetime guarantee. I hope this review helps the average consumer.

New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect Switch

New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect SwitchThis switch is way more heavy duty than I expected...in a good way. The price is really good for the quality as well. I received my switch on time, with clear instructions and a hand written note of enthusiasm welcoming inquiry calls, install questions and an invitation to upload pics of the install. Just be aware that all you get is the switch. You will most likely need to also purchase X-amount of battery cable and terminals to suit your application. I mounted my switch to a Taylor Cable Battery Box located in the bed of my Tacoma in conjunction with some Pico screw down terminal ends and an Optima battery. I would recommend having your mechanic or someone qualified set this up for you just because you will wind up spending a fortune on the correct tools and parts if you try and buy them all yourself. This is an easy install, but the bits and pieces get expensive. This is great for me because I do a lot of electrical work on the truck myself and this way I don't have to disconnect the battery every time I need to do something. Also useful when not driving for an extended period of time. Accessories drain the battery in about 4 days so this is pretty handy. Glad to have it in the case of an emergency, too. The one time I could have really used this in an emergency, I was lucky to have a buddy with a wood handled shovel.

I got this switch to use as a disconnect on my trailer camper. We use the camper only a few times a year making it a PITA to take the battery out and put it back in every time. I installed this 2 years ago and it is working like a champ! I have purchased cheaper models for use on my jeep for safety and they couldn't handle the abuse. This unit is very well built.

Driving my truck once a week does not help maintain the proper battery charge. I looked at solar trickle chargers but they are too expensive. This item is inexpensive and easy to install. The only thing I did different is install it onto the negative side instead of the positive that was instructed to.

Remember that this will turn off all electronics especially the alarm. A bit of an inconvenience but worth it. I'm tired of bringing in my battery to be charged.

Thanks!

I bought this because my car's electrical components are failing one after another. This wasn't an issue until they started draining my battery while it was sitting. My car is a '97 Oldsmobile Aurora. This is important because the Cranking Amps are 1,000, the peak amps for this device. It has come through with flying colors. I installed it in a day with some heavy-gauge wire and lugs I found here on Amazon. It is pretty stiff which means you know when you turn it on, and it is very unlikely that you will be able to accidentally turn it off.

The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the terminals are on the same plane and relatively close together. This would be an issue if the bolts loosen up and the lugs turn. It is possible that they could turn, touch each other, causing a short circuit. This should not be an issue if you simply wrap the lugs in some type of insulating material. Though I wish the terminals were not on the same plane, can't have everything.

I would recommend this for anyone who is having major electrical problems, or for whatever reason you would want a kill switch. Just remember to insulate the lugs. It has saved me hundreds of dollars in electrical work for a car that is on its last leg, just prolonging the inevitable.
