Black & Decker PI100BB Inverter

I love my sports cars. But I love my electronics too. This may have only two (2) outlets but one is for USB charging and one for AC power for the wall plug chargers. Folds down to allow placement in the storage between two bucket seats. Slim looking and just what you need for the phone, computer, shaver, tablet, I (whatever) and etc. Another Handyman tool recommendation that men and women and teens will love.

This thing definitely makes noise. It sounds like it's about to take off after you start the car. Once you get driving and have the music on you don't hear it but if you're looking to use it while driving at lower speeds with no other background noises this thing will drive you nuts. Mine pops out every time I hit any sort of small bump or patch on the road but I think it may be that individual outlet of my car since I've had issues with other plugs too.

I'm using this small inverter in a PV system to turn on an array of 110V garden lights (a total of 40 Watts) for 4 hours every night and it has been working faultlessly the last two months. The fan is a bit noisy but tolerable. Happy with this product so far.

Purchased this product to have handy in the car just in case. Took it to Florida with us when we drove to charge up the laptop and it works fine. Actually used it during "Sandy" to charge up the laptop and cell phones when the power in our house was out for several days. The USB insert is a nice surprise since I was able to charge my Kindle on it too. It is a bit bulky and you can hear the fan whirling, but its not obnoxiously loud and if you have your radio on you don't even notice it.

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

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.

Retractable Car Charger for Nokia N97

To start with, if you're using a Nokia N97 phone, you may know how difficult it is to find a replacement charger at any of your local stores. I learned this on a 1,500 mile road trip when the original car charger died about 200 miles into the trip. Since then, I've learned to keep a spare charger in the car.

I bought this charger because I liked the idea of the retractable cord, making it much neater to store. When it arrived, I was a bit dubious about the apparently thin gauge wire, especially as compared to the typically thick charger wires I'm used to.

I've had it for about a month now, and I'm quite happy with it. It appears to charge the phone just as quickly as the original, and so far I haven't experienced anything to be concerned about with its operation. I have no idea how long it will last with that thin cord, so I'm going to buy another one "just in case". Having that cord rolled up inside is really great when it's riding in the glove box.

I didn't give it five stars only because I still doubt the durability of the thin cord and retracting mechanism. I do feel that the retracting cord is worth the chance of a shorter product life, since it just feels good every time I fish it out and don't have to deal with a cord tangled around a bunch of other stuff. The retracting mechanism allows you to partially retract the cord to the length you need. I think the fully extended cord is about 15" 18" long.

The first charger I got, stopped working after two times of using. I contacted the seller and they were really nice and sent me a new one. This one works very good.

BlackBerry 12V/24V Automotive Charger

This product appears to be a genuine original equipment Blackberry car charger. It has the Blackberry name and logo on it. The plate on the bottom of the cigarette lighter plug of the unit states that the electric output is 5 volts, 500mA (500 milliamperes or .5 ampere). The plate on the wall charger packaged with a new Blackberry 8800 states that the wall charger output is 5 volts, .75 ampere. Thus, it appears that the car charger produces two thirds the electrical charge produced by the wall charger (.5 vs. .75 amp.)

This car charger is used with a Blackberry 8800 and has performed admirably and without any problems. It costs a fraction of the price charged by AT&T ($29.99), apparently for the same product.

This works great with my wife's Blackberry Pearl. Now that she has Bluetooth in her car, she really needed a way to keep the phone charged while on the road. This does the job as expected.

Charge-It Concentrated Battery Additive

You use to be able to get this stuff at any parts store, but not anymore. I guess they're trying to sell new batteries. I've saved a number of batteries over the years and with this purchase saved a $90 motorcycle battery in about 10 minutes and an overnight charge. This stuff works, period.

This stuff really works. It will extend the life of the battery by dissolving the sulfate build-up in your battery. The build-up of sulfation is the number one cause of battery failure. I used this in the past when it sold under the brand name VX-6 which is no longer sold. It works in lead acid batteries that can be re-filled. Naturally, you cannot use it in a 'sealed' battery. This is excellent stuff to totally clean the sulfation from the battery terminals too.

This will NOT save a dead battery. I highly recommend this product. My only regret is that I did not buy the one quart size. The 2.5 oz. size is good for only one battery. It cost slightly more but you get over twelves times the amount.

I purchased this stuff 10 years ago and put it in my wifes Suburban battery. The battery was a bottom of the line 2 year battery. I saw this sitting on the shelf and thought what the heck, for less than $3 (at the time) I can afford to give it a shot. The same battery still starts that Suburban even in freezing weather! Without a doubt, it is the best $3 I ever spent on a vehicle. I am about to buy a bottle to put in my Goldwing battery. Based on experience I anticipate the battery lasting at least 5 years. It is definitely worth the price!

Want Charge-It Concentrated Battery Additive Discount?

I bought a used car in Sept 2009 and during the winter/spring of 2010, I had trouble with the battery holding a charge. I recharged the battery many times during that period trying different methods to rejuvenate the battery until it would only hold a charge for a few days at best. I decided to just invest in a new battery when a friend told me about a battery additive he heard about many years ago. He didn't remember the product name so I searched the web and found this product on amazon. I decided to take one more shot to save the battery and ordered this product in May 2010. I added it to the battery and recharged the battery. The battery held the charge this time but I wanted to wait some time before declaring it a success. As of today, my battery is still going strong and I've had no dead battery situations since adding the Charge-It product. This product worked great for me.

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

The 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.

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

Priority Start 12-Volt-Pro-SP PriorityStart Automatic Battery Protector

BMW X5. Installation had to go rear, right near battery, which meant mounting on spare tire wheel well and then buying a new positive cable to stretch from the battery to the Priority Start. Perhaps on cars with battery in front, not such a big deal installing.

Priority Start as disconnect battery only once I know of and that when car sat for an entire week.

Certainly rugged.

Recommend if you can tackle an installation job that might mean drill, cable, etc.

First of all, this electric shut off device worked, but it was poorly designed. On the top of the unit is a metal contact to screw a battery post to. But when I used my fingers to tighten it the post kept turning. I tried to unscrew the battery post but it kept turning and it wouldn't come off.

I ended up using a large screw driver to lift the top metal contact up until I could pry it all the way up. Then I discovered the problem. Below the metal contact plate was a hex nut that wasn't attached to anything. It wasn't welded to the metal plate. It was merely glued down with what looked like epoxy. It is a horrible design and I'm sure everyone who buys this device will eventually fall victim to this serious design flaw, especially if they try to remove it.

I imagine it would have taken another few cents to weld the metal nut to the metal contact plate so the company choose saving a few cents over making the product competently.

I ended up leaving the metal contact pried at a 90° angle so I could tighten the battery post to it. I had to leave it in this position because I couldn't tighten the post without using a wrench to hold the hex nut.

I wrote the company and even sent them photos with ways to properly engineer this device but I never heard from them.

Since I was forced to pry their PriorityStart open I'm sure the company would use this as an excuse to void my warranty, which doesn't last long anyway. And speaking of 'warranties' the buyer has to pay for the return of the unit and THEN the company determines if the unit is bad and from the wording of their warranty information it leads me to believe they will use any reason to avoid honoring their warranty.

Obviously their product is poorly engineered when finger tightening a battery post to it will cause an epoxy-held hex nut to break free. The company obviously doesn't care if customers have to be subjected to what I had to endure. Per their warranty it's obvious they wouldn't replace a unit if the top metal plate had to be pried open just to remove their device from a car even though 100% of the problem was their fault.

Fortunately, their product does work and I can start my car but to have engineered it the way they did reveals a company that doesn't have a quality control department or doesn't care about what happens after a sale is made. After all, their warranty would discourage (intentionally?) almost anyone who tries to get a replacement or a refund.

Lastly, I'm a NASA engineer and no device at NASA would have been made as defective as this device is. I give it 2 stars because it does work but if it was designed properly I would have given it 5 stars. Btw: Any smart and ethical company would take my suggestions and redesign their product and reward a person like myself who told them how to redesign it. It would lead to more sales and more satisfied customers. You'd think a company would have that as their number one priority but sadly most companies don't give a damn about customer satisfaction and only care about making a quick buck. If this company redesigns their product using my suggestions and doesn't compensate me for it then it reveals their total lack of gratitude and appreciation. It also reveals what kind of people are manufacturing & selling this product.

i purchased this for installation on a 96 suburban. i use this vehicle as a member of the local volunteer fire department and police reserves. My hope was that this would allow me to run my emergency led lights and radio equipment on a scene without the need to leave the engine running. It works perfectly. With the fire radio on and receiving, led strobes front and rear and the headlights and hazard signals on the system shut the power down at 1hr 15min. a quick flip of the head light switch and the truck started up just fine. i was a bit concerned if it would work for this purpose but it has performed perfectly.

installation can be a little tricky if you have short or tight battery cables but there is nothing "hard" about the install. i was installed in testing in less than 15min.

this product is great. i will be adding one to my daily driver as well.

Installed item on car, so far working as advertised.

Have not had a problem with a battery drain yet, so can not say that item has protected the battery yet.

However I am sure it will, this car likes to surprise me every now and again.

Delphi SA10000 XM SKYFi Radio Receiver

• Satellite radio receiver for your car or home; includes wireless remote control
• Access to XM's 100-plus channels of satellite radio, featuring music, news, sports, and more
• Direct channel entry plus 20 presets; preview a channel before switching
• Requires separately available car or home connection kit and subscription to XM satellite service
• Measures 4.7 x 2.9 x 1.5 inches (W x H x D)

I can't say enough about this system. For years, I have been disenchanted with commercial radio and the junk they play. If I wanted good music, I'd have to shell out a king's ransom for CDs. I had gotten to the point where I didn't even bother listening to music anymore; I'd just tune in NPR in the car and watch TV at home for entertainment.

I was skeptical about paying for satellite radio until I checked out the sample programming at It took me about a day to realize I couldn't go another day without it. Now I listen to the radio all the time at home, and I've even hooked up the Home Adapter kit at work and listened through my computer's headphones. (It took a bit of doing to position the antenna for good reception in my office 'cube farm' inside a steel-and-concrete building, but I got it to work!) Now I can't wait to get the car adapter so I can take my stations with me on the road.

One of my favorite features on the Delphi SKYFi is that you can save Artist/Song Title information while listening if you hear something you really like. This has allowed me to discover several great new bands since I started listening to XM. I can confidently pick up new CDs of bands I'd never hear on commercial radio. It's like having a great college radio station!

Another great feature about the Delphi unit is that you take your one subscription with you wherever you go; there's no need to pay for an extra receiver, even though XM offers additional subs at a discount.

XM radio has a great fan following. Check out for a great online community of fans and fanatics. I learned a lot about antenna placement in poor-reception areas (XM at work!) from reading the message boards.

Quit stalling. Buy it. I promise you'll love it.

Forget the naysayers. This product was worth every penny, as well as the subscription fee.

I do not own a car, as I am legally blind. However, one does not need to own a car to enjoy XM radio. I live in the Coachella Valley in southern Central California, and quite frankly, the radio reception here bites, even on shortwave.

I also live in an stucco reinforced apartment, with NO WINDOWS at all in my bedroom.My Sky FI radio rests in the boombox docking station, and sits on top of my televison set. The antenna is simply clipped to the back of the boombox, and I do not use a single inch 0f it's 20 foot cable.

The radio works flawlessly.

All 121 channels.

No fading or digital artifacts.

The sign up process was quick and painless. I was up and running in under an hour.

Belive me, XM blows regular radio out of the water. My two favorite channels are 163 (Sonic Theater) and 164(Old Time Radio)

These 2 channels are well worth the subscription cost alone.

XM radio should side market this product to the visually impaired or blind as well. I could think of no greater a gift for someone blind, such as myself. An A PLUS!!!

I purchased my XM Radio Skyfi system from Best Buy just before a cross country trip. My wife and I love it. However, after losing the signal a few times in the rain and then losing the signal for a few days after a heavy rain. I discovered that the magnetic antenna supplied with the system is "known" to be a problem. Best Buy techs know it. And Delphi, the suppliers of the system know it. When I called tech support at Delphi, I got a curt recommendation to seal the area of the antenna where the wire enters the antenna then I wouldn't have any more problems. In other words, their problem was my problem. The Best Buy techs graciously told me if I got any kind of replacement antenna, they would replace my antenna at no charge. I couldn't find a replacement. The Delphi people need some customer service training. So, if you buy this system, save yourself some trouble and seal the area where the wire enters the antenna. If it weren't for the antenna problem, I'd give the system five stars.

Want Delphi SA10000 XM SKYFi Radio Receiver Discount?

I recently rented a Cadillac from Avis and was able to listen to XM at no charge. My wife and I really enjoyed it and decided the home kit option was something we were very interested in as we don't spend long periods of time in our cars.

I was reluctant at first because of worries regarding the antenna not being in a south-facing window. My stereo system is in a built-in entertainment wall and does not allow for the antenna to be pointed at a south facing window. After reading that many others have had success with the antenna in less than ideal areas, I decided I would give it a try.

My house is 2 years old, one story brick with a normal pitched roof consisting of plywood decking and dimensional fiberglass shingles. It has 10 foot flat and tray ceilings.

After hooking up the cables to my surround sound receiver and placing the antenna on the top of the stack of stereo components, I pointed the antenna generally to the south and toward the ceiling at about 45 degrees. I plugged the SkyFi in and immediately was getting two bars on the signal strength indicator. I do not have terrestrial repeaters in my area, so I am relying solely on the satellite. After a few quick adjustments I was getting 3 bars or it bounced between 3 and 2 bars.

I was very happy to have it work, and it is not even close to sitting in a south-facing window. After getting a strong signal and hearing the sample channels loud and clear, I activated the subscription online. I timed it and it took 12 minutes before the tuner updated and began receiving all channels. I was pretty impressed it activated that quickly.

I generally listen to talk radio in the car along with a few CD's and I absolutely despise FM radio with all of the repetitive commercials and DJ's having meaningless "conversations" with people that call in requests. I love the concept of satellite radio. I like to hear different types of music depending on the occasion or mood I'm in. XM is like a jukebox in the house with something new and different on each channel. I am terrible with song names and groups so I especially like to be able to look up and see the info on the Delphi display.

I picked XM over Sirius because I had a chance to hear it in the Avis rental car and I trust Delphi equipment. Satellite radio IS rocket science, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy all it has to offer. Overall, I am very happy with the SkyFi, the home kit, and the XM service.

As a caveat here, I've been a subscriber of both XM and Sirius at different times. I'm not here to pump or dump either service or comment on programming -simply the merits and drawbacks of the SkyFi, so here goes. (1) I managed to break the SkyFi within 10 minutes of setting it up at home, simply by trying to turn the round tuning dial, and this didn't instill confidence in quality or build. I was able to get it replaced at my retailer, fortunately. Otherwise, the size of the unit is quite nice and the remote is slick. The display is nice, although the config options are a bit limited (and it's very, very red, which can be annoying to view). (2) The satellite reception was not bad but it was very, very touchy as to location. To that end, I moved to an apartment with a north/west exposure, so using it there was out of the question (no signal at all); ergo, I'm no longer a subscriber. (3) I also considered purchasing the Boom-Box rather than simply plugging into my home stereo -a friend still has his boom-box, but the volume on it is weak (it's only 4W output), and it has no adapters for external devices. Stylish, yes. Functional, not so much. It worked better through my home stereo's Aux input -even the latest boom-box model is still ONLY a 4 watt output, which is less than most cheap PC speakers. -Again, I won't discuss programming (I personally enjoyed XM, but that's a personal preference). The unit is nice, but there are some limitations, especially if you consider the satellite orbit for XM is very low and south-only; if you don't have that orientation available, try Sirius.
