Brunton Restore 2 Solar Panels and 2200 mAh Battery
Overall this is probably a great product for camping trips and most standard uses. The electronics work great, the battery charges fairly quickly (never really timed it). The device just isn't durable enough to withstand the stress applied to it in harsher climates over long periods of time.

- For DC12V and Car ONLY, not applied for DC24V and airplane use !
Due to the inefficiencies of a continuous fan, this unit is not a reasonable choice in an off grid battery situation. It is fine in a running car. I bought this unit hoping I could use it in a camping kit but it would quickly drain my solar charged portable battery system (only 9Ah). I'm going to keep it, but it's less useful than I had hoped. I won't be unable to leave this unit turned on when I'm away from the car or it'll drain the car battery, which is unacceptable.
The sales info says "Temperature controlled cooling fan" which tells me the fan should not be on unless it needs to cool the unit. I've contacted the seller to see how we'll resolve this. Perhaps I have a bad unit? *** Update from seller, this unit is working as designed ***
3 stars for delivering the power and having a USB port, but not more due to the noise and waste of energy a full time cooling fan causes. If the fan only went on as needed this would be a nice 5 star Inverter.
*** Update ***
Contacted seller, after a couple of email exchanges it was determined that this unit will keep the fan on at all times. While the unit differs from how I understood the listing, it's not worth my time to send it back. When I ordered mine, 1/3rd of the price was paid in shipping fees, so I'll keep this unit as an in-car unit and look to find something else that will be more efficient in a solar/battery based system.
If your intended use is in a car, the fan is most likely not a problem. You can also check to see if your Cig adapter shuts off when you turn off your keys, then it's even less of an issue as it won't drain your batteries when you leave your car. I have a Cig adapter in the trunk I use to power/charge things on trips and when traveling, mine turns off with the key so I can use this in the car without worry.
Mine continues to work well and has survived weeks in my trunk in the hot AZ sun.
*** For comparison purposes I have also reviewed the GoPower 175w inverter and compare that unit with this one side by side. You will find that video here:
Go Power! GP-175 175-Watt Modified Sine Wave InverterI purchased this adapter for my cross country road trip and it has been so useful! We frequently camp and the adapter is perfect for charging phones and cameras. I've used it for my hair straightener and we have used it to inflate our inflatable mattress. HIGHLY recommended. The customer service from this company is fantastic as well.Product was delivered promptly. Charges my laptop in just over 1 hour. Also used with a multiple outlet power strip to charge 2 Dewalt 18V batteries together. Fan is fairly quiet.
Cons. Cord could be longer.
Overall I can recommend as long as you understand what you are getting. A nice little inverter for the money. The things that might surprise you is the little cooling fan never turns off. Not a super big deal but it does draw a little under half an amp just to run the units cooling fan. Having two USB ports was why I bought it. Watch the video and you will see more about power draw.We hot this item so we would be able to do a couple things during our recent camping trip:
1) Plug in our Queen Size mattress pump and blow it up for the tent
2) Plug in our phone/laptop if/when needed
3) Run our coffee maker at the campsite
This charger/converter has been perfect thank you for this device at such a great price!

It'll do all the VHF channels and weather...even has a weather alert. Ours runs all day on a charge and gets plugged in at night. One time we forgot to charge it and slapped the AA batteries in to keep us online. I love the call tones...lets our comrades know who is calling before they answer. Also like the 'lock' feature that prevents accidental setting changes.For me, the negatives are:
1) It will receive, but not transmit while charging (we overcame this by simply using AA batteries when the rechargeable battery ran low).
2) The set up/menu system is not intuitive we had to keep the manual handy for a couple weeks.
Would I buy another one? In a heartbeat!

This is an exelent product and is one of the few items I have purchased recently that actually exceads my expectations.Not only does it perform as promised but it comes complete with all the accesories that it is advertised with.I have both the water-resistant model and the less expensive model that comes with the waterproof case. For the money both are excellent. I was having the same problem with both radios leading me to believe there may be a button pushing sequence that would allow the radios to function as advertised.The problem is that under some conditions, the radio gets locked in a situation where the channels and features can't be changed. Also the scanning feature is disabled. The only available capabilities are channels 16/9 and the weather channels.
After wrestling with this for a while,it turns out that the solution is really quite simple. The problem occurs after you enter the weather channels and then then switch to Channel 16. You now loose the ability to scan and change channels. To get out of the problem, enter the weather channels and hold the Menu button down to exit the weather channels. This will restore the functionality. As I think about this, it is logical that the method of getting into the weather channels, and as a result, getting into this problem, was holding the Menu button down.

Solar Button Cell Battery Charger
For me, the red charging light went on only under the brightest of sun light. Even after a few days recharging, the battery gave a charge of maybe three hours -hardly worth the cost of $20 plus almost $6 in shipping and handling. And then the cost and bother of returning it.
Unfortunately, I had high expectations of keeping my battery costs down, so I was throughly disappointed with this mickey mouse item.

Apple iPod iPhone Accessories. Apple Fm Transmitter Car Kit and Car Charger with LCD display for Ip
I bought this in a package deal with other accessories (cases, cig lighter chargers, charging adapters, etc), but mainly wanted it for the FM transmitter. I put the needed batteries in and programmed the channels in and then set it down to plug in my ipod. It then 'blanked out' and I had to reprogram it all over again.
So I tried it with the car lighter adapter and it was worse! Every time you even touch it, it would blank out.....I couldn't even get a channel programmed before it would blank out again, so it was impossible to even plug my ipod in it to try it!
So the most stable way to use it was to put the batteries back it. Again, I kept having problems with it blanking out, but did finally get to use it and the quality was pretty good, but having it constantly blanking out almost renders it useless!!
Yes, the price is cheap............but the quality is VERY,VERY POOR and what good is it if it's almost completely useless!! I would recommend spending even just a few bucks more to spare yourself a LOT of frustration and try a different one that is actually useable.I purchased this device for an iPod Touch and a car without an auxiliary jack or USB port. The price is the best out there but there is a certain amount of truth to that bit about getting what you pay for. The sound is rather muffled so that I am turning up the iPod as high as it can go and I'm still towards the high end of the stereo. I have yet to see volume control on the device itself that I suppose could correct the problem. As one other review mentioned, there are no directions in the package.
It works better than what I had before (nothing) but for someone who is really looking for quality sound as the end result, you need another device.This is a great transmitter for the money. I only paid about $6 for it and it works perfectly. I can use it throughout the house. You can use it with anything with a headphone jack and choose any station to play on. Don't buy the expensive transmitters unless you want something specifically made for iPod.First, as far as I can tell, the USB port on this transmitter does NOT charge a device (at least not my iPod Touch).
While the adjustability of FM stations (in .1 increments 87.5 108.0) is a great feature, a couple design errors prevent this transmitter from being amazing. After I wrote the vendor I purchased from, they send me another. Comparing the two leads me to believe that the same issues probably plague most of the units.
The cigarette lighter adapter included did not fit snugly on the first unit I received. Any minor jostling or moving the device would cause it to lose power. The second unit has a somewhat better fit, making the car adapter usable. While batteries are an option, they are drained quite quickly (within a day or two) while the unit is off. Having 10 present stations is a nice feature, but the stations are not remembered if batteries are removed or the cable is unplugged.
As a transmitter, it works fine. The huge range of adjustability means that it is easy to find a (relatively) open FM channel. Plugging in a USB cable led to substantial distortion on the second unit I received.
Conclusion? For significantly less than other transmitters, this one may provide a great value if you are willing to put up with some quirks (and if having a useless USB port doesn't bother you).I paid virtually nothing for this FM transmitter, and I got what i paid for. When it's working, it works well (see below). On some long road trips, i've discovered that the transmitter was actually strong enough to overpower local radio stations--a big bonus! I have had no problems at all using this in big cities with lots of radio clutter. The cord from the transmitter to the headphone jack is a few inches shorter than I would've liked, but you can make it work.
More on the transmitter:
The transmitter works 98% of the time. But 1% of the time it "purrs" at you, and 1% of the time it violently (and loudly) "hiccups." The "purring" isn't too disturbing, but the "hiccups" can be quite jarring in the middle of a song. If i had to do it over again, i would get a different transmitter.

NOCO Genius G3500 6V/12V 3.5 Amp Smart Battery Charger and Maintainer
Amazon (as usual) had the best price and it was shipped in a timely manner.I needed a new charger after my old one stopped working. I looked around and saw this one. After reading the reviews i went ahead and ordered it. Right before i got my charger my weekend wheeler truck didn't want to start. So i took my battery to get tested at my local auto parts store and they told me my battery was "bad" and i needed a new one. So i took my battery back home and saw that the charger had arrived and it was the perfect time to test it out. I attached the charger to my battery and left it alone for the night. When i came back out in the morning it was fully charged so i took the charger off and let the battery sit. I checked it a few days later and it was still holding the same charge as it had when i took off the charger. The battery is still holding its full charge two weeks later. This battery charger saved me from buying a new battery when this "bad battery" is still good. I would recommend this charger to anybody who has a vehicle.

iSimple PolyWire Car Radio RCA Audio Connector Cable for iPhone or iPod, IS75
- Allows user to stream iPod music and video through the car entertainment system
- For use with car stereos with RCA inputs
- Charges iPod/iPhone
- Uses iPod or iPhone clickwheel or touch controls
- Allows audio streaming from an iPhone connected to the Internet
- Maintains the look and feel of your in-car entertainment system
- Your choice of two installation configurations
- CD-quality music from your iPod or iPhone
- Battery charging on all dockable models of iPod or iPhone
- Optional secondary 3.5mm input (aftermarket installations only)
The adapter consists of a small molded plastic block with a permanently attached RCA-type patch cord for connection to your stereo, a pair of power wires for connecting to your car's electrical system if you want to be able to charge your iPod/iPhone, a longish (perhaps 6 feet) cord with an Apple interface plug to connect to your device, and an equally long cord with a generic stereo mini-plug to connect any device with a headphone jack.
Installing the adapter was straightforward: plugging in the two RCA plugs was all that was required to make the sound connection. If you want to charge your iPod/iPhone, you will also have to connect the adapter to an available power source in your dashboard.
Playback is easy and provides MUCH better sound quality than FM modulators or similar adaptors. Using the iPod interface plug means you don't have to worry about fiddling with the volume on both the iPod and the car stereo to get the best quality: just use the car's volume control as usual. The charging capability is a huge benefit, and this adapter is one of the few out there that can charge all generations of dockable iPods and iPhones. Many newer Apple devices will not charge from older adapters that use a different charging standard.
The only reason I gave the IS-75 4 stars instead of 5 relates to the otherwise great charging capability. Using the charging feature can also introduce background noise caused by electrical interference. I easily remedied this by plugging in a "ground loop isolator" between the IS-75 and my stereo. Had the IS-75 built-in this easily forseeable and commonly required feature, it would have been perfect.

This great little cable system does more than the original picture and description might indicate. I uploaded a new picture to help show this.This item includes both L/R RCA male plugs as shown PLUS a 3.5mm male stereo plug. The 3.5mm is typically what you want for cars that have an AUX input jack.
This item also includes 12V and GND wires for power to charge your i-device. Nice here is that you don't need a separate charger connector everything passes through the i-device dock connector. To install for power, just access some kind of accessory power that is switched on when the ignition or the stereo is on. I used the 12V power plug in the dash of my wife's 2008 Honda Odyssey. Just remove the center console and gently splice the kit's two wires into those 12V and GND wires feeding the power plug, and you're good. Takes 30 minutes or less with a screwdriver, sharp utility knife, and electrical tape (I also soldered the connections for better electrical and mechanical contact).
There was also plenty of cable in my installation to pass the i-device dock connector through one of the console compartments, and the 3.5mm plug under the bottom of the console, where it can easily be plugged into the Odyssey's stereo AUX input jack when needed.
Audio quality is great, it charges nicely (iPads, too) and no funny warning messages in your i-device when you connect like I've seen in the past with this thing in my old 2005 Honda CRV: USA-Spec PA15-HON2 Honda to iPod Interface. Sweet.Bought this cable to interface with my Kenwood KDC-MP4028 HU and CA-C1AUX adapter. I am using with a 3rd generation iPod Touch. Installation was very easy. I didn't have any problems with ground loops. Since I integrated my deck to the factory harness, I have no idea where the actual ground connection is on the vehicle chassis, so I did the next best thing, I grounded the IS75 to the radio itself. The ground wire on the IS75 has a ring on it already, so I just took a screw out of the radio chassis and replaced it with the ring underneath. The power wire is spliced into the same switched power wire to the radio, so that the iPod only charges when the car is on.
Sound quality is very good, with no engine whine. I also no longer have to worry about scratched CD's, or carrying a CD wallet in the car.
The cable is long enough so that routing is not an issue. My deck is high on the dash, and I ran it all the way to the floor and still have 3 feet to work with.
The dock conector has locking pins, so it won't become disconnected accidentally. Press the buttons on both sides to release.

This is my 2nd cable that has gone out in exactly a year! The cables suffer from poor quality and my left channel went out on both of the cables, on the 1/8th jack and also the 30 pin, although not at the same time (I guess that's a good thing?) Plus the 30 pin connector is way oversized, probably designed this way to have a longer life in the car, however only fits with ONE iPhone 4S case that I have used. Can't even return the product anymore through Amazon...have to go through iSimple warranty now.i had a cord similar to this that i used with my old ipod, but when i got an ipod touch, it no longer charger it. this cord was perfect: it charged my new ipod, plugged into the dock for line out audio, AND it had 3.5mm input too, so i could play pandora music off my phone if the songs on my ipod got old. this cord is perfect, has very good build quality, and is a good price.Wednesday, November 13, 2013
