Excelvan FM Transmitter + Car Charger for iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S MP3 Player

Excelvan FM Transmitter + Car Charger for iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S MP3 PlayerThis is a good quality transmitter. It's easy to use, and has a wide range for transmitting (88-107). I have tried different transmitters (generic, maxell & belkin) brands in the past and though this one captures interference occasionally, it still is a good option. Compared to other i have owned, this one has more power and delivers a great sound. The device may seem big since it's as wide as an iPhone 4 and a bit thick but i believe this allows having a better control. The transmitter is easy to use, can be charged via mini USB (cable included) and has a gold plated connector.

Pros

Battery life, w/fast charge.

Excellent power & sound.

Good transmission range.

Fits perfectly through skins an silicon phone jackets.

Easy to use.

Cons

It does insert noise in the background but is only noticeable when volume too low.

It captures interference easier than other brands I've used but you will eventually find a station to tune into where this issue will disappear.

Universal Fits For SUVs Cars Black Fender Air Intake Side Hood Vents Set 2Pcs Highly Durable ABS Pl

Universal Fits For SUVs Cars Black Fender Air Intake Side Hood Vents Set 2Pcs Highly Durable ABS Plastic With Black DopingWhen I recieved this product I was excited until I opened the package and the vents were entirely bigger than what I expected, and to top it off the vents were so scratched up it was ridiculous. I will not be sending them back because I do not have the patience for the whole return process, so I will just suck it up and just go to a local store and buy them there.

I have this on my black scion.

It's a cheap piece of plastic but the painting looks really good. I wish it was more glossier but a simple spray paint can fix that; hence the 4 stars.

Easy installation, just peel the tape off. Be sure you mark the placement for these vents before taking off the tape. The tape is extremely sticky and will leave a residue taking it off.

Schumacher SS-210A Microprocessor Controlled Automatic Charger

Schumacher SS-210A Microprocessor Controlled Automatic ChargerThis product ruined at least 3 brand new batteries. Amazon refuses to do anything about it and the manufacturer will not stand behind their product. I will never use amazon or a schumacher product again. If the product is "as is" I may as well buy it used for a fraction of the cost.

This charger appeared to have a lot going for it, but appearances can be deceiving. When it arrived the insulation on the charging wires was not inserted in the fuse holders, so I had to buy new holders and replace them to avoid the hassle and expense of sending it back--it is very heavy at 21 lbs. For a while it worked charging both batteries in my 27' sailboat, but it is incredibly noisy (a 60-cycle hum you can hear outside the boat with the cabin closed up), so loud that you can't sleep in the boat with it on. After a few months it stopped charging my house battery, giving a flashing red LED (check battery) signal. Fiddling with it would, sometimes, and randomly, allow it to charge the battery. Then after a year it stopped charging the start battery. I thought my batteries were toast, as I gave up and stopped even turning it on recently. The Guest 16102 I replaced it with is completely silent, and went straight to 'float' charging my batteries (it turns out they were almost fully charged by the engine's alternator on a recent long trip), even though the Schumacher showed flashing red LEDs for both output circuits, i.e. check (dead) battery. This was a waste of money, and the worse kind of product, one that works for a while and then stops working when the warranty has expired.

Buy Schumacher SS-210A Microprocessor Controlled Automatic Charger Now

I bought this to replace a dead Schumacher charger I was using on my sailboat, and returned it because of the loud humming noise it makes. This unit also very heavy, clunky, and produces much heat. I purchased instead a Guest smart charger which has worked flawlessly for over two years now.

Read Best Reviews of Schumacher SS-210A Microprocessor Controlled Automatic Charger Here

This charger is perfect in either single channel single battery, or dual channel separate battery mode, only charging at 10A per channel. It has linear power supply with a big-beefy transformer inside that should last for years. The LED indicators give you a basic idea of what is going on.

The problems with this charger come with using it in single battery, dual channel 20A mode. The charger supplies all 20A through one cable even though both are hooked up in parallel. The cheap yellow snap-together fuse holders get really hot when charging at 20A. Also the 14AWG wire is too small for a constant 20A draw. I cut off the cheap fuse holders and replaced them with Buss Heavy Duty ATC fuse holders and 30A fuses. That solved the hot fuse holder problem. I am planning on replacing the 14AWG wire with 12AWG also.

I bought this for charging two large storage batteries used for a battery powered emergency sump pump. Two 125AH batteries in parallel.

For the geeks out there... It actually alternates channels while supplying the full 20A. It will switch from one channel to the other every couple/few minutes. I used dual 50A current shunts to check the charger on two 125AH batteries wired in parallel. I'm guessing that Schumacher alternates channels to keep the output transistors from overheating and to distribute the thermal load. I'd really like to see a non-marine unit with a vented enclosure.

I'm very pleased with my SS-210A Automatic Charger/Maintainer. I purchased this unit to replace the old 10 amp charger in my cabin cruiser and after six months I find it to be working as planned. At first,I was surprised at the size and weight of the unit, but once I got it mounted it really didn't take up much more space than the unit I replaced, and it is much quieter. I check my batteries regularly and I find that I have to add water much less frequently than before. Overall, I give it five stars!!

CyberPower CPS150CHI AC Mobile Power Inverter/Converter, 12VDC to 120VAC, 150W, Cup-Mount

CyberPower CPS150CHI AC Mobile Power Inverter/Converter, 12VDC to 120VAC, 150W, Cup-MountI've owned this device for over a year and it's great. Use it for laptops and cell phone chargers with no problems. Stays much cooler than our previous inverter.

Update 6/2009: Bummer. It burned up. Plugged it in one day and within seconds smoke was pouring out. Had to throw it out of the car and let it cool off before sending it to the electronics recycler. Scary. Amazon won't let me change the rating, but generally I would give burning electronic devices no more than one star.

One of the attractions of this item is that it has two inputs: a regular mains AC socket and a cigarette lighter socket. In essence, this means you can power two things at once. That's a frequent requirement in my car so this item appeared ideal...or so I thought.

There are a couple of issues with it. First, as others have noted, it does seem to shut off quite quickly when you're powering a laptop. In my case, it could be anything from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. The second flaw is that the cigarette lighter socket on this device is about 2 inches (5cm) long. Some devices have shorter adapters than others and the shorter ones won't fit into the socket on this device because the adapter can't reach the contacts in the socket.

So, for example, this kind of item will work just fine:

Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter P510 Original (OEM) 89144 / SPN5401 for Motorola Razr V3, V3a, V3c, V3i, V3m, V3t, V3r, V3xx, Q, W315, RIZR Z3, KRZR K1, KRZR K1M, W385, MOTOROKR Z6m (Retail Package)

This kind of item will probably not work with it:

BlackBerry 12V/24V Automotive Charger

Finally, it's described as having a "Cup-Mount". All this means in reality is that it's narrow enough to fit into a cup holder. If you want an item that is actually designed for a cup holder, take a look at this:

PowerLine 0900-66 200-Watt Coffee Cup Inverter with USB Charging Port and Two Outlets

I shall be returning this item because of its poor performance and flawed design. I've still given it two stars because your mileage may vary depending upon the adapters/devices you want to use with it.

Worth a look but there are probably better-designed inverters out there.

My wife and I are planning a road trip this summer and wanted a way to charge camera batteries, cell phones and operate a laptop computer. The reviews indicated the CyberPower AC Power Converter was a good unit to purchase. We purchased the device and have since run several road test, 2 of which it powered an IBM laptop(with GPS software)for 5-7 hours. It worked GREAT! It ran cool and kept the battery in the laptop at full charge for the duration of the trips. We are very happy with this purchase.

After buying product at Best Buy for $70, I came home and looked it up on Amazon.com where sure enough I found it for much less! I took back the one to Best Buy and got mine from Amazon in just a couple of days. I bought this primarily to use in our car for powering our Gateway & Toshiba laptops on road trips. As opposed to some power adapters which have various tips for various brands of computers, this is great in that if offers the versatility of being able to plug other AC items as well. A little large and the cords are a bit short, but I didn't think is was annoyingly loud.

BatteryMINDer 12 Volt Solar Charging System with 5 Watt Panel and Desulfator, Model# SCC005

BatteryMINDer 12 Volt Solar Charging System with 5 Watt Panel and Desulfator, Model# SCC005The solar panel arrived in good condition and worked just fine as soon as I connected the wires. I set it up on a work bench to test it out and it has worked very well. The rested battery had 12.46 volts showing and began to rise right away. I have not been able to do a sunny day test because it has been overcast and raining everyday. If there is decent light out the solar panel can do it's thing and that is just what I want. I will have to wait to give a better sunny day report, but for now all is well. Sorry for the lack of sunny day detail. I plan to use the charger on my travel trailer to keep the battery up. I did try plugging in a power inverter to see if it would work with one attached to the battery while charging and it worked as well.

Satisfied with the purchase.

Would I recommend it: yes

Con: the delivery time was a bit long I thought, compared to other purchases but Amazon has spoiled me with other quick deliveries.

Had a BatteryMinder on the garage roof since 2009 keeping the battery of my show car Mercedes 450SL charged. It's been perfect for the job. When I put it up, it seemed to me better to be raised off the roof an inch, so I glued 4 solid rubber bumpers at the corners. No rain build-up, no leaves, etc.

We had a huge wind through here in July, 2010, which broke out the top of a 40' willow 30 feet from the Battery Minder, which didn't move at all.

I never take it down. Rain or snow or heat, it keeps working fine.

Schumacher XC12 SpeedCharge 12 Amp Battery Charger

Schumacher XC12 SpeedCharge 12 Amp Battery ChargerSo I bought this because 1) it could do 6V and 12V and 2) it had a digital display for voltage and percent charge. It chooses automatically between 6 and 12V fine. The display however, seems quite off. The voltage is ~0.2V off vs a multimeter, but to be fair the resolution is only 0.1V so its hard to say exactly how off it is. The percent charge, which I was most interested in, appears way off. I had a 6V motorcycle battery that sat all winter, read ~3.5V before charging. I hooked it up, on the slow trickle charge setting recommended for small batteries, and it read 90% state of charge to begin. The SOC rose quickly to the high 90's, where it sat for quite awhile until fully charged. I understand there are a lot of battery types and sizes out there, so this may be hard to calculate, but I thought everyone should have a proper expectation about it. I like to monitor this type of information, which is why I elected for this model with SOC display (I didn't really need the 12A). Now I wish I would've just went with a more basic model.

Other Good:

It does kick out automatically to a maintenance mode once fully charged, and automatically start charging after a power loss.

Other Bad:

The fan is loud, and there is no on/off switch (you must unplug it). Also, while charging, the display switches between the SOC and the voltage setting(6 or 12). It would be more helpful to see an actual real-time voltage instead of what setting it is on. To check voltage status with the unit, you must abort charging and put into testing mode, then go back to charging.

fairly fragile construction. but worst thing was that it failed to charge at the 2 amp setting after only a few days.

Wouxun KG-UVD1P Dual Band U/V 136-174/400-480MHz Two-way Handheld Transceiver

Wouxun KG-UVD1P Dual Band U/V 136-174/400-480MHz Two-way Handheld Transceiver
  • Dual Band - Dual Frequency - Dual Display - Dual Standby
  • VHF&UHF, UHF&UHF or VHF&VHF working modes
  • Frequency Range: 136-174MHz & 400-480MHz
  • Work Mode: U-V , V-U , V-V , U-U Can Be Set Freely
  • Band Can Be Set Freely on The Same Channel

I know buying Chinese electronics is a roll of the dice... That said, I only seriously considered this unit after reading a positive review in QST magazine and after doing some further research. Several other consumer reviews said essentially the same thing: that it is a pretty good HT for the money. These days, even some of the Japanese "big names" are using Chinese components. So I decided to order one for myself. After purchasing this HT and using it heavily for two months I have to say I was very impressed with the audio quality, the sensitivity of the receiver, the features and also the durability. Furthermore, the cost of accessories is unbelievably low. That is an area where you will save a ton of money. On the downside, the manual is virtually useless because the English (Chinglish) is so bad and that it makes programming without a PC a bit of a chore (but not impossible). A bit of advice: Buy yourself the programming cable. For $15 it is totally worth it and makes programming a breeze. Lastly, I did have one problem with the unit just last week. The transmit LED indicator went out. I contacted my vendor (DuplexCom of Ohio) who sold it to me and they had a brand new replacement unit to me in just four business days (door to door). Which leads to my final point: Choose a vendor who has good customer service like DuplexCom because you will not get much help from China! The product support is all up to your vendor so choose your vendor wisely. Also, your warranty is only 3 months. But in my case it worked out fine. The warranty covered everything except the shipping back to Ohio and I have a brand new unit which I am happy with. I have no regrets and am seriously considering ordering Wouxun's mobile transceiver that will be coming out in February. I think this radio is a steal.

Very nice, good signal reports, easy to use but programming from the HT keyboard is a bit laborious. The programming features are very flexible but that means you have to input many values for each channel. Software to program the HT from your PC is available for a free download from Wouxun. I found the correct driver for this radio, its usb_Vista09.exe. Even though it does not say Windows 7, it does work. Make sure the programming cable is FULLY inserted. Very nice HT for the money.

I purchased one of these from another vendor for about $130 shipped. I have used it for several months, including the collar mic, surveillance kits, multiple antennas, both as an amateur radio operator and in public safety. It works fine with good audio quality, but there are a few issues:

The radio's scan feature is crippled. If the radio is in scan, and you press the button to turn on the backlight, it stops scanning. If you press the button to turn on the LED, it stops scanning. If you try to lock the keypad, it stops scanning. If you want to change which channels are included in the scan, you have to reprogram it from a computer. You can't even use the dual VFO feature while in scan mode even though the second channel is still shown on the screen, it is never checked.

The radio itself has developed a problem. Under certain circumstances which aren't entirely clear, it will occasionally completely reset itself. I suspect this is due to a power connection issue inside the radio, but for something this cheap I'm not surprised. I'm probably going to replace it and use the broken one as a base station radio.

The belt clip, where it connects to the battery, is too tight. It takes serious effort to remove the belt clip. Which would be fine, except that it's also weak. The piece that actually fits in to the battery has broken on me, necessitating a replacement. In fact, all of the plastic pieces here are of significantly poorer quality than what you would get with, say, a Motorola.

I have used the longer antenna. It's too long to use in the field, but as a base antenna it works fine and does improve quality. While we're talking about antennas, on my original antenna the plastic piece has chipped, resulting in the actual antenna coming out of it at an angle. It still works, but yet another example of poor materials. The replacement antenna, the end cap fell off and got lost, so I had to cover it with gaffer's tape.

The surveillance earpiece works fine. The surveillance microphone does not. I am told that it results in a 'muffled' sound which is barely readable. The collar mic works fine.

its a big difference from boafeng that you can only do that tru the computer and is kind of a major hassle!

Retractable Car Charger for BlackBerry Bold 9700 Onyx

Retractable Car Charger for BlackBerry Bold 9700 OnyxThe retractable cord is great, less mess and fuss in the car. Unfortunately, it would charge my phone for a few minutes and then stop. The first time it did this, I had used it twice and it stopped charging after 30 minutes. I have used it a total of 6 times now and it charges for a minute and then stops. Sadly, not worth the retractable cord if it doesn't charge.

This charger worked for 10 minutes and then didn't charge any further. The light showing it is operating began to blink and was intermittent. Got so frustrated threw it out the window. Not recommended.

If you are a busy individual who is always on the go, I would recommend this product to you. It is very easy to use and the one thing I love the most is its retractable cable which rolls right back into place when charging is complete.

Palm Touchstone Kit for Palm pixi

Palm Touchstone Kit for Palm pixiThe Palm Pixi (and Plus model) have a notoriously finicky magnetic flap for its micro-usb charger. It's almost made for a woman's nails, and being a guy, it's definitely a two-handed operation to get a charger plugged in. Enter the Touchstone Kit.

This kit is the most convenient way to charge a phone I've yet encountered. Sit the puck somewhere nice, lay the phone down (making sure its centered, which the magnets help align to), and you've got a handsome little charging station. It sits up enough that you can check the time and notifications while you're walking around, too.

I've not made much use of the automatic speakerphone (which the phone switches to when its sitting on the puck). Might just be a placement thing for me; you might end up having your charging station in a more accessible area.

The bad part comes in about 6 months later, when the rubber on the side of the cover begins to lose its glue/whatever and bellows out. Functionally, this doesn't do anything; it just makes your cheap, old smartphone look even shabbier. I had read mentions of this happening in reviews for this product, but I chalked it up to a small group of whiners. Now I'm within their ranks, lamenting the poor quality control in these covers. It's not a huge deal: you can just buy a new cover for a few bucks. Welcome to our wonderful new consumer world of planned obsolescence!

Nice product. Glad I bought it. Only thing is that you need the power cable that came with your pixi to use it. Palm claims the battery will last longer if you keep it topped off and this does that very well

It works great. I wish I had purchased the "kit" when I first upgraded to the phone over a year ago.

Shipment came quickly. Great price. My wife damaged the micro-usb connection and we needed this to charge her phone. This makes charging a breeze.

If you have a Palm Pre or Pixi and don't use a Touchstone charger, you're missing one of the best things about the phone. The convenience of having the Touchstone on your desk can't be overstated. You're not likely to bother plugging your phone into a USB every time you sit down at your desk, but with the Touchstone you just drop it in place. The result your phone is always fully charged and when you answer an incoming call it's automatically on speaker phone until you pick the phone up. It's really a pleasure!

I've been using a Touchstone with my Sprint Palm Pre since purchase two years ago. This second Touchstone is for my wife's new Pixi. I prefer to buy directly from Amazon, but that wasn't a choice this time. The vendor "alwayz-on-sale" delivered as advertised, a new Pixi Touchstone kit in Verizon branded packaging. Shipping was slow ten days total mostly due to delay between order placement and shipping from vendor. Hard to understand why it takes 5 days to fill a simple order like this. In fairness, this was the expected shipping time given at the time of the order, so they did fulfill their promise.

This was also the best price I could find at the time, much cheaper than the Sprint store and equal or cheaper than other online vendors. Shop around, things change all the time!

Worked as well as the factory unit which I left in a rental car. Much better price than the factory unit. Plus this bundle came with the power cord which I already had from my TomTom. Just the factory mount or charger cost double what I paid for both at the time.
