myCharge RFAM-0003 Portable Power Bank 2000

myCharge RFAM-0003 Portable Power Bank 2000
  • Most popular connectors - including Apple, Micro USB and Mini USB - are included along with the charging cable.
  • Integrated Key Ring
  • USB Power Out
  • Mini-USB Charging Port
  • LED Power Indicator

On the box it says it is ready to charge, though reading through the instructions it says to "please fully charge before using for the first time." After reading that, in it being a complete contradiction to the label, I had a felling it was going to be a horrible product. So after charging it for the 2.5 hours it takes to fully charge the Bank 2000, I plugged in my HTC EVO, which has a 2,000 mAH battery and was completely dead, with the provided micro USB into the USB labeled output on the bank 2,000 and pressed and held the multi-function button for two seconds. The four indicator light up and my HTC showed it was being charged. After ten minutes the HTC showed 18% charge, but when I pressed the multi-function button it showed two lit up lights; indicated 25 50% charge remaining. I was disappointed. But it held steady at two lights for thirty minutes. At this point the HTC showed 40%. It took an hour for the bank 2000 to fully discharge leaving the HTC at 50%. I wasn't using the phone with the exception to turn on the screen and check the charge.

I was content with the end result. The Mycharge bank 2000 comes with a storage pouch, micro and mini USB and an apple connector as well as a longer micro USB cord with a standard USB at the other end to charge the bank 2000. They expect you to use your own 5v 1A wall charger that came with your phone or iPod to charge. It puts out 5v 1A which is the same as my wall charger. The lights do turn off when charging a device, but if you want to view the remaining charge click the button and the lit up lights indicate how full it is. When It's fully discharged the lights will not light up. To charge use the micro USB and plug it into the input, simple enough. The lights light up one by one across, then turn off to start over. It indicates charge the same when charging as it does when discharging. The lights stay lit according to how full it is. When It's fully charged the lights all turn off. You can also use it to charge a phone while the bank 2000 is being charged. The directions say it puts th charge of the phone over the device itself, though it seems to take longer to charge my phone when plugged into the wall through the device. After the phone is charged the device charges, though when the device is done charging it cuts off power from the phone. It can be plugged into the computer through the device as well to mount the ad card. Again, though, it slows down the connection for data transfer. It does get a little warm when It's near the end of charge.

In summary, it gives out about 1,000 mAH, instead of 2,000. It charges devices just as fast as the wall charger, it holds a decent amount of energy to continue use for a few hours for most devices, but it takes 2.5 hours to charge back up from complete discharge, not all that important though notable. I would recommend to people who want something fast and has enough charge to continue use for at least a couple hours.

***EDIT***

After using this for about three months the casing for charging has broken off of whatever was holding it in place. It now requires constant pressure on the cord while charging. It's simply a nuisance. It still works, but the overall quality is less than what I first assumed, therefore I'm reducing it by another star.

Buy myCharge RFAM-0003 Portable Power Bank 2000 Now

Bought this silly thing from a Kiosk, and has been nothing but frustration and uselessness. Phone was low, and wanted to walk around with it so spotted this is at a kiosk and bought it. Says READY TO CHARGE right out of the box. It should say it is ready to charge fully before you can use it. So later after I charged it (indicated fully dead when I set it to charge, then slowly charged to full), when I plug it into my Motorola Droid, it charges for about a second, enough to show charging, then turns itself off and goes black. Very expensive key chain fob. Have submitted request for assistance from mycharge.com, but still no reply. Think I may be just out the money and learned an expensive lesson.

Okay, an update... I fully charged it AGAIN and no (after a couple more false starts) it seems to be charging, NOPE shut itself off again after about 30 seconds now (sigh)

MyCharge Portable Power Bank 2000 Review

It only makes since that the unit will need to be charged before use. I have an iPod charger which has the light in it. When I first plugged in the MyCharge the red light on the iPod charger flashed on and off. After about 1 ½ hours the light on the iPod charger was steady on and lights 1 & 2 on the MyCharge unit came on steady and lights 3 & 4 flashed in succession showing that it was half charged. After about 4 ½ hours MyCharge was fully charged.

I waited until my Huawei Ascend II smartphone's battery status was red indicating it was getting low (33%) and then I shut my phone off. I plugged in the MyCharge and turned it on (hold button down for 2 seconds). It started charging my smartphone immediately. During this time I could check the status of the MyCharge unit by pressing the button and seeing which lights were still on. After about 1 hour my phone was half charged. After 4 hours MyCharge flashed light #1 showing that it was done. My cell phone showed 98% charged. The MyCharge unit works fine.

I got this as a gift from a friend, it worked for about 2 weeks, what it does now it shows that 3 bars out of the 4 indicating that is almost full charge, when I plug my phone to it it just turns it self off and does not charge. It seems that most of the reviewers here have the same problem.

Similar to other people's response....

I purchased the device, (had to charge before use, but I was ok with that eventhough the box said "ready to use"). I charged up the power bank. So far so good.

The problem comes when I try and charge my phone (i.e. the important part) When I plug it into my phone and press the button to start charging the device looks like it is charging and my phone also thinks it is charging. However after about 15 seconds the device stops charging and locks up. It becomes non responsive and I have to plug it back in to the wall charger to get it to start working again.

Overall very dissatisfied, Contacted compnay, we'll see what happens.

Peak PKC0CU 4/12/25 Amp Intelligent Battery Charger

Peak PKC0CU 4/12/25 Amp Intelligent Battery ChargerBought this charger to charge my rv deep cycle batteries. Charger is light weight compared to my other chargers. Convenient storage compartment for cables. Worked just great. Would recommend to anyone.

Like other customers, I experience a stalled charger, exhibiting an F05 error, which means the battery is bad. However . . . there's nothing wrong with this new battery. The problem is the charger. It works fine for a day or two, then gets stuck with an F05 error. People not keeping an eye on the chargers will find themselves with a dead battery at the end of winter. Only way it works is to 1) unplug it, then plug it back in so it starts over, or 2) return it for a different brand that actually works. I'm going with #2.

Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM Radio

Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM RadioThe main reason for this kit (instead of the INNO1 version) is because the FCC forced Pioneer to reduce the FM transmitter strength. This means that to get the signal to your car's antenna you have to use an extra cable that runs from the in-dash mount, OUTSIDE YOUR CAR, and is clipped directly to your car's built-in antenna.

There are problems with this approach:

1. The first time you go through an automatic car wash the clip-on cable will be stripped right off.

2. The clip-on portion only works with extremely thin "whip" style antennas. My wife's car has a short, thick "aero" style antenna (in the center of the very rear of the roof) that is totally incompatible with this kit. They don't tell you that before you buy it.

3. Who wants a cable strung through your car for passengers to trip over? Who is going to rip out dashboards and upholstery in a new car to run this underneath? Maybe a professional installer, but this kit was aimed at the home user, supposedly.

In my case I finally tried running the "sure connect" cable under the floor mats, into the back cargo area, and then ran it in a large loop around the inner edge of the rubber seal around the hatch back, leaving the clip-on tip dangling where it wasn't obvious. The only reason this kit gets two stars instead of one is that worked: the signal is strong enough to reach the external antenna without any wires going outside the car.

If you're going to use your INNO2 in a car, be warned, and you probably should save the $70 and give it to a professional installer who'll jack it into the back of your existing radio's FM input--except I bet you have to buy the kit anyway, to get the FM transmitter enabled through the cradle, don't you?

You need to buy this item to active the "FM Modulator" that is built into the Inno Radio. But that is a joke because the only way that you are going to get sound thru your radio is if you plug the sure connect into the antenna which make the Idea of the availability to keep it simple and cheap a waste of time and money. Most cars don't have an antenna that you can get to let alone getting to the radio itself to make this work. $60.00 for this extra gadget and another $100 to have a professional install it correctly. Bottom line THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WIRELESS FM MODULATOR, WIRED YES, WIRELESS NO!

The main point of my review is to point out that this product works for me with the Samsung YX-M1Z Helix XM2go Portable Satellite Radio with MP3 Player.

Having just gotten a vehicle with XM radio it's hard to understand that this many wires are required to adapt an Inno for car use. My wife doesn't want this many wires in her car. In an age where we have Bluetooth it's pathetic to have a primitive kit like this, it's not cheap for what it is. I won't be fitting it and it's a pity I discarded the packing or else it would have gone back to the store.

Want Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for Pioneer GEX-INNO2BK Inno 2 Portable XM Radio Discount?

I was already miffed at having to purchase this product because all of the Pioneer Inno's literature touted its having a "built-in FM modulator." But, according to XM Radio tech support, the FCC prohibits the use of the FM modulator without the car kit, so it is only activated when attached to the car cradle. When I received the product, I tried it in three different vehicles, a dozen different FM stations each, and never got even the faintest XM signal to broadcast (note that I had 3-4 bars of reception during this trial). This is an awfully expensive product to perform so poorly. To make matters worse, I returned the item for a refund over THREE WEEKS ago, and have not heard a thing (even though I used Amazon's own pre-printed return shipping label and package insert label, Amazon customer support claims it cannot give me a status of this return; the only way I will know its final outcome will be when the refund posts to my credit card). Needless to say I am extremely dissatisfied both with the product and with Amazon's return processing.

Hopkins 20001 Break Away Kit (Box, Battery, Charger, 7" Switch, Hardware)

Hopkins 20001 Break Away KitThe product description states there is a built-in meter and LEDs to indicate the charge-level of the battery. They are advertising the more expensive product and shipping the cheaper version. Do not buy, this is a scam. I received the product and it does not match the picture or description none of the features listed are included.

Here are the features as they have listed at my time of purchase (and now I just doublechecked):

Built-in battery meter with LED test lights there is no meter to be found on this model.

LED's indicate: fully charged, re-charge, or charging there is not a single LED on it.

Convenient test button verifies battery charge there is no test button.

Built-in battery charger that charges battery while plugged into the vehicle i didn't open it up, but i doubt its in there.

DO NOT BUY, if you are expecting the features listed.

I originally bought a charge controller for about 40 bucks and it was a total waste of money. If your just starting out with a basic starter Solar system, I definitely recommend spending the extra money to get a charge controller like this. The display makes it easy to trouble shoot any problems too. Great product and so far great service!

The Prostar 15 is a no-nonsense, high quality solar charge controller for a reasonable price. I have been using mine for a few weeks now aboard my boat with a 100w solar array. The controller was very easy to install, provides indication that it is operating properly with LEDs, and gives off no noise or RF interference (mine is mounted in an electronics cabinet just a couple feet from my VHF and FM radios). There are many other chargers out there that offer more features for considerably more money, but for the intended application, the Prostar is a solid controller at a great price.

Great product, solid, excellent work. This does exactly what it is supposed to. Rugged and puts up with being in outside battery house.

I have worked on a system using this charge controller and over the years the controller has had to be replaced on average once every two or three years because it simply stopped working. No indication why, it just simply stopped. For the price, I would be expecting a product that would last, but that is not my experience with this charge controller. I am currently in the market to replace the controller right now and am looking at alternatives.

HHI Retractable Car Charger For Amazon Kindle Fire (Package include a HandHelditems Sketch Stylus P

HHI Retractable Car Charger For Amazon Kindle FireThe retractable cord is great. Had it for several years,but the cord is quite thin, and alas it finally gave way. Would like the same type with a stronger cord.

RUN, RUN, RUN from this seller. Do not walk, but RUN!! I ordered this charger. When it arrived I found the male plug would not fit into the female socket on my Kindle Fire. Further, the car plug would not fit tightly into my car socket. It was so loose it just fell out. I notified the seller and was treated as if I were trying to scam them out of a thousand dollar item. I was told I first had to photograph the tip of the charger, and their invoice and e-mail it to them. I explained that I do not have a camera and could not take the pictures. Afetr several e-mails I caled their customer service and was told it was not their policy to refund shipping even though they sent a defective or wrong item. They then had the nerve to ask me to give them a positive feedback. After they receive this feedback they would consider my request that they reimburse me for the item and shipping. (This sounds an awful lot like blackmail). And, they insist I pay the shipping to return this item to them.

All this aggravation for a $6.99 item!!!

I rated these schlocks with one star, but only because it is not an option to give them a minus five rating.

Shoreline Marine Battery Marine Terminal Kit (Red/Black)

Shoreline Marine Battery Marine Terminal KitI purchased these and am very happy with them. I originally purchased them to be able to use an auto battery with an outdoor power equipment project where the cables to the battery just had ring terminals at the end. Just as would happen if this were a boat project, my options were:

1) Get new battery cables with regular battery terminals at the ends

2) Get a new marine battery with marine terminals

3) Get these adapters

Obviously, I chose option #3, which turned out to be an even better choice than I had expected. The adapters do exactly what you would expect adapt regular battery terminals to accept marine-style ring terminated cables. What I didn't expect was how easy it would be to use. Unlike many dedicated marine batteries, these come with great plastic-coated and color-coded wing nuts on the studs, which make them easy to use even when it's cold and wet outside. With regular marine batteries, they often have hex nuts on the studs requiring a wrench or socket to install and remove -with these adapters, the cables can be attached and removed bare-handed, no tools required.

Not only would I buy these again, I will probably use them with the starting battery in my next marine project as well because of the nice features mentioned above.

I have these terminals installed on a battery on RV which has a solar panel installed. I have had no problems with the battery going dead or not charging suffiencently due to a poor connection. The color coding is really a nice touch.

GTMax Black USB Wall Travel Spare Battery Charger with LED Light for Verizon HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE

GTMax Black USB Wall Travel Spare Battery Charger with LED Light for Verizon HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE / Incredible HD 6400This product has been a lifesaver! After the charging port broke in my phone I was looking for an inexpensive way to charge my battery, and I was happy to find this product. The LED light lets you know when it is charging and when it has charged. The only downfall to this type of product is that you have to take the battery out of your phone to charge it. There is a simple fix for that though, as I just ordered a spare battery from amazon and just switch the batteries out when needed.

This little thing saved my life, when my phone stopped charging through the cable. I bought this and it charges the battery perfectly. Even though it takes a few hours to fully charge. For the price it does the job right. I recommend it to any other HTC thunderbolt users.

USB Sync & Charge Cradle (with AC Charger) (w/ 2nd battery support) for Blackberry Tour 9630

USB Sync & Charge Cradle for Blackberry Tour 9630I got this as a second desk charger and the fact it charged a second battery at the same time.

The cradle charger works great. I love the fact that you can charge extra battery while your phone is charging!

Buy USB Sync & Charge Cradle (with AC Charger) (w/ 2nd battery support) for Blackberry Tour 9630 Now

I'm happy with this product and am buying another one after two weeks of use so I won't have to carry one between work and home. I really like not having to worry about losing the connection with my computer when the sync cable gets moved or bumped (which happened regulary before using a sync cable with micro-USB to the BlackBerry). Now I have a solid connection all the time. I also like that the headset jack is exposed so I can use the headset while it is in the cradle (phone calls, etc). Unfortunately the volume controls are blocked. I believe the light in the bottom corner has a dual purpose to let you know status of both the BlackBerry and the extra battery. Since I don't have an extra battery it flashes constantly, but not that big a deal. There is only one mini-USB connection on the back, so the cradle is connected to computer or power charger but not both. It does charge though when connected to the computer though just not as fast. Since I leave mine connected to the computer most of the time I've always got a full charge. Sliding it into and out of the cradle works well.

PROS: lightweight, headphone jack is usable while in cradle

CONS: can't access external volume adjustment while in cradle

I would not recommend this product, as it did not meet my expectations, especially for a product that is over 22 dollars.

First, the build quality for this product is of cheap plastic. It looks cheaply made. The AC Adapter looks really cheap as well.

Second, yes, they provide you with a AC adapter and a USB Data Cable.. However, the cradle only has ONE output plug. You can plug either the USB cable OR AC Adapter. You cannot plug in both. For example, you put the phone in the cradle, to sync to your computer. If you want it to charge faster, you would need to unplug the usb cable from behind the cradle, and plug in the AC adapter to the cradle. This defeats the purpose of having a cradle.

Third, the second battery is hidden UNDER the phone (when the phone is on the cradle). It's difficult to take out.

Have second, third, and fourth thoughts before you plunk your money down on this product.

item recieved had the same specs, but had a cheap sticker on the front making it look bad, like i found it at the dollar store. it does function, but everytime i plug something in it beeps, and flashes red. maybe normal. it has two 45 amp fuses, and comes with a extra set. comes with the battery and cig. lighter plug.

i bought this to use for my car to run computers with, so time will tell, and i will review the post.

the cig outlet plug cord is very short, almost unusable. (maybe 9" but its very stiff and hard to plug it and it keeps poping out)

has a very annoying beep.

but overall works.

This inverter worked perfectly for my son and his family in Memphis, TN 2010. My adult son had not taken it out of package, but did so when electrical power was off. It enabled him to stay home and use computer, cell recharge and TV. I bought it off the shelf at Rural King for $59.99. I wasn't an Amazon customer then, but when I buy another one, I'll buy it from Amazon for the current modest price of $39.50 w/ free shipping. In fact, I may buy a quantity to take to NY for those w/o electrical power.

Motorola 53616 2-Way Radio Nimh Battery Upgrade Kit

Motorola 53616 2-Way Radio Nimh Battery Upgrade KitThis product is compatible with a Motorola MH230TPR. It very good to have this upgrade kit to charge the battery of my 3 radios

This adapter has a click in piece that makes it usable with other models I guess. For the EM 1000 series this piece has to be removed. You have to be careful when placing the walkie-talkie in the charger base as it is actually larger than the original charger base.

Read the spec. information carefully (I guess I did not). These are not compatible with the SX700 series, though they apparently work for the SX600 and 800 models. You can find the model number of your radio if you take out the battery and look next to the bar code in the label underneath where the battery was. It will say Mdl, followed by letters and numbers. Just hoping to help someone else in a hurry avoid the same mistake I made!

The three star rating is more for the advertising and lack of compatibility with all models; I assume the product works fine.

This item had to be returned. It was advertised on the same page as the radios we purchased. We assumed it was a charger that went with that model of 2-way radios. It was not. Dissapointed in the placement of the item.

Power Tech Extra Long 6FT, USB to Lightning Compatible Cable + Car Charger for Apple iPod Touch iPh

Power Tech Extra Long 6FT, USB to Lightning Compatible Cable + Car Charger for Apple iPod Touch iPhone 5 In Power Tech RETAIL PACKAGINGThis only sort of works. I have the Iphone 5 and there are a few issues.

1) The plug gets pretty toasty while running.

2) It only work if you plug it in one way. Flip it over and you get the following error "Charging not supported with this accessory"

3) This may be just me but I get nasty feedback issue that builds when I have this and the audio. I didn't used to get this with an Apple Lighting Cable and a different brand generic charge.

So if you don't play audio through you phone and don't mind flipping the cord half the time, its a great deal.

Motorola/ACS CLS1450CB 2-way Radio with Built-in Cordless Phone

Motorola/ACS CLS1450CB 2-way Radio with Built-in Cordless PhoneThe range did not work well in our building and would not make calls in most of the areas I used it.. I sent it back for a refund.

Overall the CLS1450CB is a great radio/phone combo that meets my needs. When looking at this product remember it is a radio FIRST and a phone second. For this reason, the phone features are fairly basic and the radio range far surpasses the cordless phone range. I'll break it down into two parts:

Radio Standard UHF 1W 4CH

If you are familiar with the Motorola CLS1110 & CLS1410 then you will notice the same design and features built into this radio. The form factor is slightly larger than the traditional CLS series radio but uses the same charger, batteries, and audio accessories. The quality is also slightly better than the CLS1110 and CLS1410 radios and has a larger screen with 4 lines of text. Standard features found in the CLS1410 are included in this model such as scan and 4 total channels. Range is on par with other low power UHF radios (couple floors in building, 1/4-1 mile outdoors) should cover a warehouse perfectly fine which I think these would be great for.

Phone 2.4ghz Cordless FHSS

The phone function of this device is pretty straight forward and offers all of the basic features found on today's cordless handsets (Flash/Talk, End, Redial, CID, Call Waiting, Speaker phone, nice screen, etc.) Ringtones are a nice mix of loud and soft/musical and you have the choice of ten tones. Phone is 2.4ghz but does NOT interfere with wireless internet since it is FHSS (frequency hopping spread spectrum) this means the phone and base are constantly moving to clear frequencies as you talk or the phone sits idle, all seamlessly without you noticing. Every once in a while the handset will say "searching for base" for a few seconds and then re-register. I have never been bumped off a call or experienced the "searching for base" during a phone call. Range is adequate but certainly not as far as the radio range. Mount the base up in a high location (like in a warehouse) and you will easily get the stated range. I use this setup in an office where we use the CLS radios to communicate, only I have the CLS radio & phone. The base is located on the first floor and I can walk outside and go about 50-100ft before the signal starts breaking up. It quickly gets worse until you can't hear the other person clearly and must walk back into range. Overall very happy with the rangethose users who really need to roam their property, use the phone in multi-story buildings, or need clear communciations 2 blocks from the office should look at the DuraFon by Engenius.

Overall happy with my purchase and would recommend to other businesses who are already using the complimentary CLS two-way radios.
