ThinkPad Battery 17+ (6 Cell - X100e, X120e)

ThinkPad Battery 17+I've been watching the performance of this battery since I purchased it to replace the OEM battery in a Lenovo X100e Thinkpad (which is a great little device). It holds a charge, but does not seem to last as long as the one that first came with the laptop. I have no scientific proof, but it's my observation. It was a little scratched up, too, further feeding my conspiracy theory that it was not exactly new. Hmmm....

Disappointed with this new battery; the original battery with this IBM Netbook had +/6 hours of work time, which has lessened over time to about 90 mins. This new battery gives a little over 2 hours, not enough improvement to have spent the money.

I believe I mistaken wrote a review for a different battery (Toshiba, which didn't fit), not the Thinkpad battery sold by this merchant The Thinkpad battery works great. Extends the charge to at least double that of the original battery by 2 to 3 hours. Well worth the money for someone who does not want to be plugged in all the time.

Vehicle Power Charger for Samsung A560, A680, A740, A760, A820, A840, A880, A920, A940, VGA-1000

Vehicle Power Charger for Samsung A560, A680, A740, A760, A820, A840, A880, A920, A940, VGA-1000This product through Amazon was the lowest price (by far) on the internet. The shipping was quick. I was a little surprised to learn that it shipped directly from the Orient. The first one never did work. I submitted that information to the company. They were quick to respond, and had a second unit shipped out immediately. It worked fine. I did not have to pay any additional shipping, nor did I have to return the defective one. So, all's well that ends well.

Jabra EASYGO (Tangle Free) Retractable Car Charger Adapter

Jabra EASYGO Retractable Car Charger AdapterI like that I can use it on either my phone or my headset. Takes up less space in my console. Only used it once so far.

The charger works just like I wanted to. I drive truck for a living and my power sources for it is in just the right place to charge my blue tooth.

Energizer 84027 12V 2 Amp Battery Charger and Maintainer

Energizer 84027 12V 2 Amp Battery Charger and MaintainerThis charger is very capable but it likes to be directly connected to a battery or it will not charge.

I was looking for something less in price than the well known brands to charge some 9 Ah SLA batteries. 2 amps is about optimal for this size and this charger works perfectly. It's all you need for batteries of this range simple and effective. Multi-stage is the best for these batteries, brut-force auto chargers don't help. I now also use this to top off ATV batteries (12 Ah) during the off season to keep them from running down and sulfating.

I thought of the 4-amp version, but 2 amp is optimal for the battery sizes I have.

The only thing keeping it from a 5-star rating is that it has no on-off switch; they just want you to plug and unplug the AC to control it.

While I know Eveready is in this case just a brand, these seem quality made from the charger itself to the connectors. It's perfect for what I need it for.

Buy Energizer 84027 12V 2 Amp Battery Charger and Maintainer Now

I use a standard 12v7ah SLA (commonly used in UPS's) for the lights and stuff on my bicycle; the cord configuration, charging rate, and maintenance/shut offs on this charger allow me to use the battery a lot or a little, and then simply clip the cords together when I get back, throw the power switch on the power strip its attached too, and know that the battery will be well charged, but undamaged when I use it again. Really a quality product, very satisfied. I suspect it would work well and conveniently in any situation that involves using these types of batteries often but without on-device charging.

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Battery Lithium-Polymer Replacement Battery

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Battery Lithium-Polymer Replacement Battery
  • 3 cells high grade Lithium-Polymer battery
  • Capacity of 1,000 mAh at 11.1 volts and a discharge capacity of 10C
  • Includes a PCM (Protection Circuit Module) which protects the battery against over charge, over discharge and short circuits.

I bought the AR Drone 2.0 and two extra batteries. I charged the first one, no problem. But when I went to recharge it, the charger flashes red and wont charge it. I tried the other two batteries with the same outcome. Contacted the company, and after submitting all of the information they requested THREE TIMES, still no resolution. I love the Drone itself, but the battery and customer service is appalling!!! Since I cant use it without the battery, it is a brick. A VERY expensive brick!!!

Buy Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Battery Lithium-Polymer Replacement Battery Now

This is a good product. It does exactly what it they say it will do which is provide about 12 minutes of flight time to your AR Drone 2.0. I think it could be better if it had a bit larger capacity. There are other batteries available that claim to provide more flight time. This product just isn't that type. I gave it 4 our of 5 stars only because it lacks the capacity of other batteries on the market. I don't think that Parrot would warranty the AR Drone if you used the after market batteries either...

Read Best Reviews of Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Battery Lithium-Polymer Replacement Battery Here

This battery is great as a backup for your Parrot! I recommend having several around since they don't last very long.

Want Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Battery Lithium-Polymer Replacement Battery Discount?

The makers of these batteries should take into consideration that we like flight time not recharge time!!!!

Each battery charge does not sat more than 10-15 min of flight time.

If you do a flip the battery drops at least 10%.

You should buy at least four of these to have a good time with your drone. Otherwise you'll only get 15 minutes of fun a day.

This battery is a little behind in the times. There are higher capacity options that weight the same as this battery. You are lucky if you get 9-10 min of flight with this stock battery. If you are looking for more flight time, around 15-20 min flight times. Than here is a better solution:

Bastens 1300 mAh LiPo battery and charger upgrade for the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 & 1.0 a high capacity alternative replacement battery with a fast charger 15 to 20 minute flight time and roughly 40 min charge time

Another reason to purchase the upgrade battery AND charger is to decrease charge time. With the above kit will charge the battery in about 40 min, this is much lower than the stock battery and charger which takes about 1.5 hours.

Why do you *have* to buy an charger with the battery upgrade as a kit? Why not just use the charger included? A big change from the AR.Drone 1.0 to the 2.0 is the battery connector. They changed their balance port connector on the battery to their proprietary connector. This means if you want to increase the flight time of the battery you will have to buy both a battery and charger as this battery uses a nonstandard balance connector :(

Happy Shopping!

UPDATE: The down side of stock batteries are slow charge times. With the stock charger this can take hours to charge. Now there are faster charger options, this is a big deal because previously there were no other options than the stock charger. The following charger offers faster charge times and is worth consideration

Sunforce 22007 Coleman 7.5W Folding Panel

Sunforce 22007 Coleman 7.5W Folding PanelDuring this review, I am going to be comparing the Sunforce 22007 Coleman 7.5W Folding Panel to the Goal Zero Nomad 7, which is the only other solar charger that I have had experience with and the product with which it is competing. Right out of the box, I was impressed by its compactness. I opened its velcro latch and spread it out. The charger has square, polycrystalline solar panels that make efficient use of space. The panels don't have a perfect appearance, as the horizontal conductive lines are inconsistent, but I don't expect this to hurt the panel's performance. Along the edges it has rope loops that are meant to be attachment points, which are comparable to the Nomad 7. On the back of the panel, there is a zipper enclosure that includes a power regulator which has a permanently attached 12 Volt adapter and a female, USB port. When you unzip the pouch all the way, the 12 Volt adapter tends to fall out. I couldn't wait to test it out, so I ran outside and pointed it toward the sun. At 3 in the afternoon on a clear day, I measured 5 Volts and .83 amps (A little over 4.15 watts). Compared this to the Goal Zero Nomad 7, which measured 5 Volts at .65 amps (3.28 watts) under the same conditions. I am guessing this difference in performance is due to the 0.5 extra watt of power rating from the Coleman Sunforce panel, as well as a better USB power regulator.

I tested the panel in low light conditions: An overcast morning, and it didn't produce any power, whereas the Goal Zero Nomad 7 did produce 5 Volts at 40 mA. This difference is probably due to polycrystalline solar panels vs monocrystalline solar panels, which are known for the low light efficiency. This was a very low light test.

I also tested it in a mostly cloudy midday sun situation: The Sunforce Coleman panel produced 5 Volts at .35 amps, whereas the Nomad 7 produced 5 Volts at .3 amps. They were both able to start a charging cycle on my phone under these conditions: 65 percent sky coverage according to the National Weather Service with stratocumulus perculidus clouds, with very little sky visible. This result reinforced my confidence in the Sunforce panel, given my foggy morning test the day before.

I purchased this solar charger to provide me with power while camping, so its compact nature is a plus, and it will be an invaluable resource when in an emergency situation. Knowing that you will be able to charge your communication and navigation devices with only the power of the sun is a great feeling. At this price, I couldn't pass trying it out, as I intend on getting more as gifts.

Compared to Goal Zero:

Pros:

Better output. at 3 PM 5 Volts .8 amps compared to 5 Volts .65 amps with Goal Zero in direct sunlight.

Smaller

Lighter (Even with 12V adapter. It isn't removable)

Cons:

12 Volt adapter tends to flop about when you open the zipper.

The usb port is very close to the zipper enclosure if you intend to enclose your charging device within the zipper. (This may have not been intended by the designer)

Perhaps slightly less low light performance.

I don't have any special equipment to give you hard numbers on voltage or amperage but I can tell you that it will charge my iPad2 to 87% with out the need for an external battery pack like my Nomad 7 system does.

The unit is not as "universal" as the Goal Zero system, but it does have a 12 cigarette lighter permanently attached for 12 volt charging and a single USB plug.

Edit 1-11-13

I'm updating my review and taking away 2 starts as it no longer functions after being exposed to moisture/rain. I plugged in my panel to charge a lawn tractor battery that powers my gate on a cloudy day. It started to rain, but I was not worried as the charger was out of the direct rain fall and it is "weatherproof". The next day I went out with my volt meter and was not getting any output from the 12 volt plug or any power from the USB plug.

I still think this panel is a good overall deal, but it is not weatherproof.

---Up date/ Feb 17,2013-----

My second one was broken. When I used it with putting on windshield of my car under the sun, and when I removed it

from the windshield in evening, this panel got quite hard to fold completely but I pushed it to fold it.

Since then it didn't create voltage. When I open it and change open angle from 0-270 deg, it won't make voltage, but

if I open it over 270deg, it makes 16.5V at cigar socket under full sunlight.

I am sure somewhere in folding part wire was cut in side.

I change my mind from my original review that it maybe not good product.

Anyway,

I wondered how this only two panels makes more than 12V.

I disassemble everything and found circuit board in the black box where the cigar socket wire and USB output are there.

On the circuit board, there's a L7805CV which is 5V,1A regulator for USB and MC34063A which is a switching regulator

IC that can be used for voltage step up/down or inverting to AC and it is used as step up converter on this circuit board.

I fed 9V to the circuit wires where solar panel power come in and cigar socket output is about 16.5V.

This is why this small 2 panel makes such high voltage.

DO NO USE it WITH SOLAR CHARGE CONTROLLERS.

Solar charge controllers often have reverse voltage when it is connected to battery at night.

This cigar socket has schottky barrier diode SS14 in the black box but it seems my 1st 7.5W solar's

circuit was broken by reverse voltage from charge controller, SK-6. SK-6 was also broken at the same time.

======Original review=============================================

This is my first solar panel. It has 1 USB port and 1 cigar lighter socket.

Open circuit voltage goes to more than 40V in full sunlight here in Houston. Typical would be 18V.

Short circuit current is about 600mA and slightly more, 12V x 0.6A =7.2W, so it work as it is advertised.

I do not use USB port so much so I do not know well about it drives my USB fan which other solar/lithium

ion battery couldn't drive.

Actually I bought this panel twice, first was from local shop about $46, 2nd in amazon, Amazon was much cheaper than the shop.

I also never see this power of folding panel in this price. It's really good price for folding/7.5W panel.

I broke my 1st one so I disassemble all cover of it and found it was quite well made,

It was really hard to disassemble. Glue was all over the back side of the panel except only

soldering connection points.

Panel its self is water proof but I would say 12V to 5V convert circuit would not be water proof.

As other review also reports, yes the pocket zipper should come from the other way, I agree that.

but this time I modified my panel so this won't be problem for me.

Anyway it's good for my first experiment of Solar charging. I'll step up to bigger wattage panel next.

I actually put this on my head and walked around with it during a rally. It baarrely kept my phone up. This is because the panels are crystalline and they don't put out much if they don't have full sun. On the other hand, the flexible thin film panels don't get as much power per square centimeter even when they have full sun. So it's a trade off. These panels performed as expected. When left in the sun and not moved they kept my device fully charged. And the price is the best you can find, name brand even, seems like it will last.

I use it to charge the battery pack that I have. This in conjunction with the panels for the battery charge the 9200mAh battery in 2 days, without ever being plugged in. The battery pack fully charged, can charge up my ipad a little over one time from a really dead battery.

High Grade Samsung Galaxy Note 2 /Galaxy S4(Tangle Free) Rapid LED Indicating Car Charger Adapter

High Grade Samsung Galaxy Note 2 /Galaxy S4(Tangle Free) Rapid LED Indicating Car Charger AdapterExcellent product, works as described. Having the Samsung Galaxy Note II phone it requires specific charge units. I actually tried a few other ones on the market and they did not charge the Samsung phone. Like Apple many special requirements where you have to buy specific products that are made to work with them. Not a knock at any brand just the trend on the big players and a way to make some extra cash. It's business at it's best. What is great about this charger is fits several brands w/o any issues. The same connection port is on the Motorola Droid series as well as my work Blackberry Bold series. It's great for $12 I have a portable charger for all vehicles I use or get into. To buy the car chargers for your specific phone model at a store, especially phone stores (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T) they charge $39.95 or higher. All I can say is this product works great and charges many brand devices and I think it is a great buy from my experiences.

Product arrived on time and matches my Galaxy Note 2 extremely satisfied. I definitely would purchase again from this vendor.

EMPIRE Car Charger (CLA) for AT&T HTC Inspire 4G

EMPIRE Car Charger for AT&T HTC Inspire 4GI bought the car charger right after I bought my new phone. A smart phone must have a car charger. The first week was great. I plugged my phone in and could drive knowing it was charging. Shortly after i noticed that the red light wasn't always lit, meaning it wasn't plugging into my jeep very well. It just won't stay in. And now i'm seeing that the charger doesn't stay in the phone very well. I have to wiggle to plug and basically cradle the phone in my hand while i drive to ensure that it charges. Not a great thing to do with 2 new items. I baby my phone, and the charger never leaves my jeep. I never let anyone else use it and i am now stuck with an accessory that won't do it's job.

This charger doesn't work in my car. It was inexpensive and now I know why I won't even spend the money to return it as the postage is going to cost just as much as the charger as itself.

Well I purchased this for my HTC Inspire about 3 months ago (in April) and what a terrible purchase.

First Problem: Yes the cord is meant to stretch say 2 feet, but the holders that keep the plug in the charger port are so loose that it will come out whenever you barely pull it.

Second Problem: Now that I have had this charger for about three months, it will not even charge my phone anymore! The light on the charger is lit, but my phone receives no charge.

As the adage goes, you get what you pay for, and with this charger you get a poor quality charger that is not worth the price they even sell it at.

BaoFeng UV-5R 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band DTMF CTCSS DCS FM Ham Two Way Radio

BaoFeng UV-5R 136-174/400-480 MHz Dual-Band DTMF CTCSS DCS FM Ham Two Way Radio
  • 25KHz/12.5KHz Switchable
  • Channel Step: 2.5/5/6.25/10/12.5/25KHz
  • Frequency Range: 136-174 / 400-480MHz
  • 128 Channels 50 CTCSS and 104 CDCSS
  • Dual-Band Display, Dual Freq. Display, Dual-Standby

You would be hard pressed to get a better dual band HT for $62. This radio has international settings, meaning that the entire frequency range from 130-174mhz and from 400-480mhz is open to both TX and RX. This means you do need to be careful as a Ham license only allows you to TX on 2m from 144-148mhz and on 440 from 420-450mhz. The radio is not FCC certified to transmit on any of the Marine VHF, MURS, FRS/GMRS, or business radio or emergency services radio frequencies that lie in these frequency ranges and operating in those frequency ranges with this HT will expose you to FCC action.

You definitely will need the programming cable as the included directions are not enlightening for programming the radio with the keypad. The programming software for the radio is a minimal spreadsheet program. There are better free aftermarket alternatives (there is an active Yahoo group devoted to this radio, there are plenty of Youtube videos, and there is an aftermarket programming package called CHIRP which is a better software program). Make sure that you firmly attach the cable as failure to attach the cable properly will lead to frustration.

The stock antenna is ok if you live under a repeater. For those not living under a repeater an aftermarket antenna is a good upgrade.

For operational purposes the radio transmits and receives quite well and will operate for quite some time on the rechargeable battery that is included with the radio.

For $62 you also have a radio that if it should fall into a lake, get lost or some other calamity strike you can replace it.

The Baofeng UV-5R is not an APX7000, so if you're expecting that, you're not going to be impressed. If you want a good, reliable inexpensive dual band HT that is in fact a COMMERCIAL (it IS FCC part 90 certified) Radio, this is for you. Out of the box, it comes complete with a good 1800mah lithium ion battery, belt clip, hand strap and drop in charger. If you're familiar with commercial radios, you'll feel at home programming the UV-5R with the free software, but you'll need to purchase a USB cable if you don't already have one (this radio uses the same 2-pin Kenwood LMR style cable that Wouxun, TYT and many others use). The cables are less than $20.

You get 128 channels with any combination of VHF or UHF channels. Another plus is the radio ACTUALLY SUPPORTS NARROWBAND, INCLUDING SPLINTER CHANNELS. This is a HUGE plus if you want to use the radio to listen (or transmit, if you're authorized) to public safety after 2013 when the FCC mandates narrowband on VHF and UHF. Many agencies are also going to channel steps most ham radios cannot properly tune (e.g. 154.8225). The UV-5R uses DSP, so it has great audio on both transmit and receive. Reports I got about my transmit audio were great, and I noticed if I spoke loudly, the DSP did a good job of attenuating the voice to a tame level.

The display is fairly easy to read, and for it's size the keys are easy to press. What I really like is the large volume knob with integrated power switch, no accidental turn off of buttons! The PTT key is easy to actuate and you don't get fatigue for long conversations. Speaker is loud, though I don't think it has the 1 watt of audio the specifications state. It is loud enough to hear in a crowd or driving down the road with the window open. Construction of this HT is solid, does not feel like a $50 radio, more like a $150 radio.

The only downsides are the poorly written manual, but hey, this is a $50 radio not a $500 radio. If you've used LMR type radios, you'll be able to get around in the software, the menu system also lets you control many of the radios' features. It does have an FM radio, which actually has great sensitivity, and the flashlight feature is easy to actuate using the lower side button and actually comes in handy.

All in all, this is a great ham HT that has the unique ability to LEGALLY operate on part 90 (commercial) frequencies (for those duly authorized), has great performance, and a long battery life. For the price, you cannot go wrong with it. I would buy another and probably will.

You get what you pay for. Not for a newbie when programming since the instructions are half a step above useless, and definitely translated. Some of the voice prompts are still in Chinese (low battery). You can get help from some internet user groups specifically for this radio. Programming the repeater offset in memory mode is not what I expected, and not in the instructions... you program the channel twice, once for receive, another for send. You really need to program the channels from a computer. I spent the extra money to get a USB programming cable to match, and downloaded the programming software from one of the user groups. From what I read it was worth getting the genuine cable. Some others commented they bought cheaper versions that turned out not to be compatible with the USB drivers.

I do like the voice prompts... you can use it in the dark, or one-handed without looking at it.

I wanted an inexpensive backup, and that is what it is. Seems to be sturdy, and does the trick, but my 25 year-old Kenwood still outperforms it on 2M.

So far, I am still glad I bought it for a backup.

Excellent handheld!

I disagree with others on the complexity of programing, I would characterize it as different.

If you know what repeater offset is, then you'll have little difficulty programing this unit.

If you don't, then just use it in simplex mode, the way it came out of the box.

Other makes are more automated, however if you know what settings you want the features are clear and present.

All of this at the price point of the competitors battery.

Five stars is not enough!

I'm no expert on HAM HT radios, but for the price, this is a fantastic little radio. I have another common Chinese brand and I think this one beats it hands down. It is smaller\lighter and looks better. Sound is clearer\louder. Reception is stronger. And it has better features. I would highly recommend it. But, purchase a programming cable and download the PC software. That is a much easier way to program the radio.

Gomadic brand product does the job and seems well made. The Gomadic web site which provided customer service was top notch.

A singular experience for me and I buy online often.

I bought it as a gift for my hubby, who got the iRiver Clix2 last year. The speed of shipping was great, got it sooner that I expected, esp. for Christmas time. The product itself, I am going to say is excellent because hubby said it's "pretty good", which means excellent in his world. However when he first opened the gift he wasn't too impressed, cuz he thought he already had one. After I set him straight on that fact he was very happy to get it.

eForCity Retractable Car Charger Compatible with HTC HD2

eForCity Retractable Car Charger Compatible with HTC HD2Very good product. And the price was right. T-mobile store was asking $25.00 (dollars) for this. Amazon had it for less than $ 4.00 (dollars). You have to love Amazon.

I purchased this HTC HD2 Retractable Car Charger and wasn't expecting a lot since it was under a penny, but the charger did not last 24 hours. I took it on a business trip to Kansas City and plugged it in to my rental car(a new Toyota Camry). I plugged in my phone for the drive to my first destination. When I got out, I left that charger in the lighter and unplugged my phone from the charger. I repeated this at my second stop. On my 3rd stop, the indicator light had gone out on the charger. I tried it in both power sources but could never get it to work again. The plastic extrusion itself was very, very cheap, it was thinner plastic than most plastic easter eggs. My Advice... spend a few dollars more and try a different one

Title says it all. I like the retractable cord which keeps my car more tidy.

Since day one, this product did not work for me. Many of the cheap chinese made micro-usb connectors dont connect well to today's cell phones and this is one of them. It will slide in the slot and appear to be connected, but the pins don't set well and it does not charge your device for more than a few seconds without disconnecting and reconnecting.

Dont buy this product!

Original Review: Arrived on time, properly packaged. Have had it for a few days, and it seems to be doing it's job just fine. Charges the phone, and retracts properly.

Revised Review: At just short of 5 months, started only working intermittently. At just short of 6 months totally stopped working. Amazon listing does not indicate this product has a warranty, so I contacted the seller through Amazon to find out the products warranty. They replied that all returns must be complete in 30 days. So I guess it has a 30 day warranty. If you want a car charger that will work for 30 days, this one did for me. But if you want it to work longer than 5 months, select a different one.

Premium BlackBerry Car Charger

Premium BlackBerry Car ChargerThis charge works great. The USB fitting inserts into my phone without issue firm but not forced. It is fused, like the higher priced unit at the cell phone store.

What a piece of junk!

I rarely even use my car charger. Maybe twice a week? And I had this one for only 2 weeks.

The cord broke and came out of the piece that plugs into the phone. Niiiice.

Don't waste your money.
