TomTom Go 720 Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery.

The directions for this kit are on a DVD. The DVD makes the installation process seem much easier than the actual installation itself. A piece of double sided tape was included in the replacement kit to hold the new battery in place. I used the tape to re-secure the new battery after removing the old one. What was not mentioned in the instructions was the double sided tape was too thick to allow the TomTom to be closed and the halves screwed back together. The TomTom had to be disassembled again and the tape removed before it could reassembled properly. A little more detail explanation would have helped otherwise, it would have gotten 5 stars. As it is the battery works well and my TomTom functions flawlessly.

Certainly was less expensive that replacing my Tom Tom ( which I considered). You tube instructions were complete and easy to follow. No fancy packaging here, but the battery appears to be fresh and holding the charge. Highly recommended

Install of this package was a breeze. Considered purchasing new gps, glad I didn't, this is a great gps once again. Thanks!

Want TomTom Go 720 Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery. Discount?

Just finished installing the new battery. Had a problem getting the GPS open. The plastic tool quickly bends our of shape because the material is too weak at the tip. Had to use a small screwdriver to pry things open and managed to scratch the screen. Don't notice it when it is turned on. The old battery in the TomTom GPS is held by very strong double sided tape. Hard to get out. Had to use again a micro screw driver to pry it open. I found a micro screw holder very handy as my fingers are big and fat. Also used tweezers and forceps to help me with the tiny parts.

Although not perfect, this product is better than having a dead device and since mine still works after changing the battery, scratching the screen, and being a little rough with the motherboard, I am happy.

If I can find a used Tom Tom just like it super cheap, I may try it again but just try to locate the battery somewhere as I don't need another full kit.

BatteryMINDer Battery Charger / Maintainer with Desulphator - 12 Volt 2/4/8 Amp, Model# 12248

I did a bit of research before purchasing this product. If you want a quick charge, I have read that your battery won't last as long. For battery life, the ideal charge is low amerage. I appreciate that this charger provides a low amp charge to the battery. I had an older battery charger that I believe prematurely destroyed one of my 12v batteries, so I did my best to find the best value replacement. As a matter of fact, the way I saw the older charger behaving (according to my digital multimeter), I was concerned that it could cause the battery to explode or start a fire. I decided to get a new one. I looked at all of the battery chargers I could find on Amazon and other sites. Eventually, I settled on this particular model for these reasons:

1. Provides a low amperage charge, which is supposed to help prolong battery life.

2. Desulphination mode, which is supposed to help prolong battery life.

3. Safety shutoff features, so that it doesn't overcharge the battery.

4. Reads the battery polarity and illuminates a red light if you have it reversed.

5. Excellent review on Amazon and other sites that sell battery chargers.

I've only been using the battery minder for a couple of months, but I think it is working well. The recharges and maintenance modes seem appropriate. The batteries seem to last a long time after I charge them. This product seems to be living up to the claims and ratings. I am impressed.

Years ago a solid state battery charger would be ignored by most as unreliable and/or cheap. Times changed and now many solid state items represent those of the best quality. I've found this product line to be one of those lacking nothing and of the best quality. The five year warranty that comes with it helps re-enforce that idea.

Yes, this product is made in China to the American (USA) VDC company technological standards. I wish everything could be made here in the US as I am USA born. That's no longer the case with many of the product names I grew up with at least VDC is still an American company based in Huntington, New York. But still, I'm glad I purchased my BatteryMinder 12248 over a year back in 2011.

There-in was also something I found especially refreshing. When I opened the packaging, I wasn't greeted with instructions in some other language but in my own native English taught to every US citizen and recognized as the true one language of our country by most Americans. Seeing instructions in every language always tells me some portion of what I spent on a product went into all those other translations especially irksome when, to start with, the language is SUPPOSED to be English for products sold in the US. The small instruction manual is clear there's just 35 pages VDC would like you to look over first to improve your knowledge of this product. That's nothing excessive or unreasonable. I actually like to know the proper use of products just like I enjoy knowing the proper way to operate a vehicle I'm driving down the road. I find it safer that way, and my cars all last longer for my knowing how to drive and maintain them and I'm also sure other passengers, drivers, and pedestrians appreciate my responsibility.

I could have easily used the 12248 without the manual by just using a little common sense and knowing how batteries are sized and what type they are, but the manual does contain everything you need to know concerning the operation of the 12248. There are also printed instructions on the unit. Nothing difficult in use, and even if it was VDC provides a technical service number right on the manual. That number is also on the unit. They even answer it quickly I know, I called them to start the warranty on my purchase and to inquire about the free battery tester they will send you for registering your product.

Enough with the literature and literacy. The VDC BatteryMINDer 12248 will charge/maintain up to six batteries at a time with full-time desulfation. This is why I wanted it. It also has low amperage draw in use, and provides temperature compensation also important in my hot Southern US climate. An earlier purchase of a BatteryMINDer 12151 (engine compartment mounted style) proved to me the patented BatteryMINDer desulfation technology works and works very well (see my 12151 review here at Amazon "BatteryMinder 1.5A or BatteryMinder 1.3A? (chuckle) Like the "Tortoise and the Hare" When Compared To Some Chargers.").

The 12248 still isn't the fastest charger with only a top output of 8 Amperes, but it's not the tortoise the 12151 is either when recharging a dead battery. Is desulfation faster using the 12248 instead of the 12151? Possibly, but not necessarily. The 12151 just can't charge and desulfate more than one battery at a time, and it only charges with a reported maximum of 1.5 Amperes although I have seen a 12151 charge at 1.8A for short initial start-up periods. The 12151 is also designed to be permanently installed to a vehicle, whereas the 12248 is a "bench" charger that can either be hung from a bench or used sitting on a bench it also sits on four rubber pads for this.

This model 12248 comes with the $20 temperature compensator with ring terminal option supplied, and a ring terminal battery connector with 15 Amp fuse for a permanent charging connection to a vehicle mounted battery. All terminal connectors and fuses are also supplied with well fitted caps to prevent corrosion from moisture and to and keep out dirt. It also has the standard spring clip connector with 15 Amp fuse. Nice wire lengths have also been supplied to all cables that make connections simple in most any proper use of the unit.

The only caveat I've noticed is the temperature sender cable pins can be connected wrong if not paying close attention. If you look closely, you can see a minus and positive sign at each connection terminal that should be observed when making the electrical temperature cable connections. A red marking for positive would make this connection much easier, or pins that only fit one way.

I plan to update this review as more use is applied to the 12248 with various batteries. (chuckle) Nothing quite like an on-going accounting of product performance.

My first (far reaching) trial:

settings: 8 Amp, Standard lead-acid, temperature sensor clamped to the negative battery post

A thirteen year old, 75DG size group, Grand L 3010 HST Kubota diesel tractor standard lead acid battery that somehow still hangs on despite it would no longer start the tractor it came with. After about nine years of good service, up until it wouldn't start my Grand L, this battery was replaced with a new one and forgotten in a corner of my garage. This battery had a swollen case and plates, and had been sitting idle and untouched for roughly five years in that corner. One month back, I had put a quick charge on this battery and had it reading 12.6 volts when I immediately started using it for some very light electrical duty. Over the next several weeks I continued using it a few times to power a car radio system I was working on in my garage. It was still showing 11.4 volts when I connected the BatteryMINDer 12248 and made the proper settings. The 12248 accepted it and began charging it. After 30 minutes, I used an Amprobe digital meter to check the voltage and amperes being put out by the 12248 at the battery they were; volts@14.01-14.02, amperes@.10-.12 with a solid green charge indicator.

July 28 (eight days after connection) voltage while connected was at 13.22 volts, the same as when checked after the initial 24 hours of connection. Since day two, the voltage has remained the same and the charge indicator has been flashing. Amperes are at .16 and are the same as they were when checked on day two. Visual inspection of the plates shows the normal coloration of light and dark plates returning. The case end swelling is also diminishing. Of course, I don't expect this 13 year old battery to ever be capable of supplying the heavier amperage loads it once could without self-destruction, but it will be interesting to see what it can withstand. For my purposes, this battery will only be used in my garage for temporary power on a work bench with light loads it may even be usefull for some boost starts on equipment with weak but still marginally functioning batteries. For these purposes it should be fine, as it continues to charge and desulfate well on the 12248. A standard charger would have simply burned and cracked all the plates, and boiled the battery acid solution away long before now leaving the battery useless with dead, shorted, and open cells. As it is, the 12248 is rebuilding a lot of capacity to this old battery.

August 5 On August 2nd I had checked this battery with the 12248 connected using my Amprobe digital meter. I noticed the voltage was varying slightly between 13.20 and 13.24. A check of the supplied amperage showed rapid changes occuring varying from .08 to .94 amperes. This peculiar amperage behavior in maintain mode is different from the 12151 BatteryMINDers I have installed to two of my vehicles. I removed the charger and checked the battery after a twelve hour "rest". The battery showed 12.70 volts. I reconnected the charger and saw the voltage initially increase to 14.5, and then begin dropping. Amps were initially steady at .10. After two hours, I checked and found the charger back in maintain mode and again at 13.20-13.24 volts and amperage varying from .08 to .94. I checked again today and saw everything the same except the case swelling now appears almost gone. During the time the charger is off this older battery, I've been putting it on a year old 78DLG Duralast Gold 800 CCA battery from Auto Zone. This battery now shows 12.88 volts after a twenty-four hour rest after each time it has been connected to the 12248. Once I'm better satisfied with the charge condition of the old Kubota battery, I plan to connect it and the Duralast battery in parallel and make use of some of the multiple battery charging capability of this 12248. Even if these two batteries do have a large difference in age, they still match in type and are close in size group.

August 23 On August 12th I finally felt secure in how stable the condition of the old battery was and connected the much newer Duralast in parallel. There had been no changes in the BatteryMINDer output on the older battery alone, the plates in the battery were looking good, and there was no longer any case swelling. Afterwards, I fairly well forgot about the two batteries connected in parallel to the BatteryMINDER 12248 until today. Again, I had checked the BatteryMINDer output when I first connected the batteries. The voltage was staying about 13.23 and amperes were steady at .10 when first checked. Today, the voltage was varying slightly between 13.21-13.23 and amperes were varying up and down between .12-.15. A look inside, to see those 13 year old Kubota battery plates, revealed plates that now look almost new in coloration and conformation. Could it be the BatteryMINDer 12248 is restoring this formerly dead and unused 13 year old battery, that lay useless for almost five years, to an almost new condition? From just looking into the cells at those plates, it appears so after a month on the BattryMINDer 12248. After a few more weeks on this BatteryMINDer, I'm going to load test this old battery out of pure curiosity. I have the thought that it would start my Kubota diesel tractor, it came new with, right now with no problems.

Update 10/24/11:

I finally got around to load testing the 13 year old Kubota battery. IT PASSED! I also used it to start my Grand L Kubota, and it started the tractor just like a brand new battery. This is an amazing recovery that makes me wonder how many "bad" batteries I could have saved and continued to use through the years, if I had only had this BatteryMINDer 12248. It's great to find a tool, and a company, that truly saves you money.

Update 9/11/2012:

I have't lost a single battery since I put this 12248 in service, and all the batteries I mentioned above are still doing fine and in service. I also have purchased multiple 12151 BatteryMINDers, and have them installed to my stored vehicles. It's very nice to just turn the key on a vehicle that has been in storage for many months and hear the engine roar to life with just a turn of the key minus jumper cables. It's also nice to know all your batteries have been kept fresh and ready for good service by simply using a BatteryMINDer.

Update 12/23/2012:

The 13 year old battery finally developed an open cell condition causing its voltage to drop. At least the BatteryMINDer did give me another surprising year of use from it. I have also recharged a dead 9 year old "gold top" AutoZone battery and have its voltage back up. It was unable to start the old GMC pickup truck it was in, as I was unable to recover enough capacity using the BatteryMINDer on it for that purpose, but it's still maintaining proper voltage and usable for lower current draw applications such as quickly checking 12 volt parts for operation or temporary 12 volt lighting during a power outage. So, some batteries will just be too far gone in one way or another for help from a BatteryMINDer. However, I have recovered two expensive Odyssey batteries and a now 6 year old sealed Delco that are still working great. One of the Odyssey batteries is 8+ years old and used in a Trans Am with a high compression V-8 and strong Kenwood amplifiers in that car. The other sits in my antique '57 Ford 640 tractor. I was able to recover both of those batteries to 100%. The Delco had died several times in my 2007 Silverado before it was four years old (I replaced it with a new battery after four years). After recovering that factory Delco to 100%, I put it back in my Silverado and have had no more trouble from it. I did add a BatteryMINDer under the hood of that truck, as it has parasitic draws that had even killed the new battery I had placed in it. I brought the new battery back with this BatteryMINDer and placed it in the old GMC pickup. Overall, BatteryMINDer has saved me around $600 to date and I really like that.

Buy BatteryMINDer Battery Charger / Maintainer with Desulphator - 12 Volt 2/4/8 Amp, Model# 12248 Now

I've been using the small BatteryMinders (the 1.3 Amp maintainers) for the past few years and decided that for some of my larger batteries, especially the deep cycle setup used in conjunction with a set of solar panels, that I needed something that was capable of pushing much more than 1.3 Amps. Enter this product with its 2 / 4 / 8 Amp settings and the ability to automatically reduce the Amp "push" and start cycling the battery (or in my case batteries, as I have 4 large deep cycle batteries connected in parallel) with a maintenance charge.

So far I've been very happy with this product as I have been with the 1.3 Amp BatteryMinder in the past. The construction is solid, a direct-wire connector is included, the ability to connect directly with included clips is great, and there isn't that "it's going to break next week" cheap feel that some of the other competing products have (I bought a used bike and a competing product came with it now it is hooked up to a BatterMinder and the other charger is sitting in a box).

If you have need to keep a large battery or bank of batteries well maintained and on a steady charge, be they for your trolling motor or a battery backup for your sump pump (because the power always seems to fail during a rain storm just when you need that pump most), I strongly recommend this product.

I installed this for my 4 very large house batteries on my RV. Since it cost about $1800 dollars to replace those batteries I am interested in getting as long a life as possible. It has been in place for about 2 weeks and so far it is doing what I expected. The batteries hold a charge longer than before. This type of battery in Arizona normally lasts about 4 years, and this set is 18 months old and beginning to show its age. But with this device installed they are back to about 95% of what they were when they were new. My only complaint is about the temperature sensor that can be used with the unit, it does not come with the device, but is an extra cost option. I think it should be included since it provides a feature of the device.

I attempted to use some cheep harbor freight 2 stage chargers and ended up ruining 6 batteries ranging from 40.00 to 125.00 each. They continuously overcharged and boiled my batteries dry. I purchased these Batteryminder chargers to try and salvage my batteries. It worked and saved 3 of the six. Thats about 200.00 worth of batteries I have been able to reclaim. I am very pleased with the product and also purchased their 2,6,8 amp model for my large deep cycle batteries. The instructions say that if after charging, your battery won't hold 11 volts they probably have a shorted cell. The three batteries that couldn't be reclaimed had bulged cases and only showed between 5 and 8 volts after bulk charging with a regular automotive charger. Hope this helps you decide if yours may be reclaimed. The three batteries that were reclaimed would charge past 11 volts but when load testing dropped off immediately to less than 6 volts. They must have been heavily sulfated because they are as good as ever now after desulfating for several days. I wish I had made this purchase years ago. I would have saved alot of money. Oh well live and learn.

Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer

I purchased one of these to charge some sealed lead acid batteries, and it works like a champ. Hook it up to the battery, plug it in and let it do its thing.

That being said, there are a couple of quirks the user should be aware of. The % capacity display is not at all accurate. It will typically state that a battery is 95% full, then increase slowly until saying it is fully charged, and on maintaining. I used this with several 9Ah 12V batteries, and some 8.5Ah 6V batteries. All of these were tested before & after with a BK Precision 601 professional battery analyzer. The readings never agreed, but that is not necessarily a problem.

BK Precision 601 Battery Capacity Analyzer

While the $400+ BK 601 is a great tool, it is not necessary to know the precise values of capacity, load and no-load voltage or internal resistance (unless you want to know these things of course!) If you are maintaining SLA batteries of a smaller capacity, say anywhere from 3 to 20Ah or so, just hook up the Schumacher and ignore the initial reading. If it says 95%, the capacity might be 80% or might be 45% (I saw readings higher and lower on the 601) No matter. Let the Schumacher charge until it says 'Fully Charged' or 'battery maintaining'. But do not stop charging just yet. At that point, the actual capacity might only be at 95 or 97% (as verified by the 601). Let it go another 15 minutes or half an hour. Then go ahead and disconnect. By that time, nearly all the batteries I tested were at the full 100% according to the BK 601.

If the battery is too far gone, the Schumacher will let you know. There are a few batteries here and there that will accept a charge from the Schumacher, but may not perform as well as new batteries. Outside of a professional analyzer, there is not much you can do about them. They will work, but may only have 90% or so of the charge. The Schumacher does as best as it can with them.

It also oworked well at auto-detecting 6V batteries. Very simple to use, and for easy operation and good performance, and a great price, I give it 5 stars. Just be aware of its limitations.

After receiving this gadget, I realize that I probably could have used the smaller SP2 unit, but now that I've had it a few weeks, I'm quite pleased with how it works.

It is pretty large, but still only about a quarter the sise of a car charger. It's roughly the size of a brick, and has a big LED readout that tells you what it's doing readable from a good distance.

So far, I've only used the alligator clips for my motorcycle battery, but this also comes with a connector that you can attach permanently to the battery and has a simple connector to the charger cord. That means you don't have to remove the seat to hook up the charger. That seems pretty useful, and if I ever decide to unhook my battery and risk losing all the settings on my stereo, I'll install it.

I think something like this is essential in places that have a proper winter that keeps you from riding for weeks at a time.

I love his little charger. I had been using old technology that only displays amperage. This charger shows you voltage and percentage of charge. Automatically selects battery voltage and type. Maintains battery at correct voltage and current to keep it float charged and avoid overcharging and damage. It's a keeper! Keep in mind it is a maintenance charger, not a high current deep charger.

Want Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer Discount?

I bought this battery "extender" to maintain the battery in my two-year-old, rarely-driven garage queen. When I first attached the unit, it said it was analyzing the battery, then reported that it was 5% charged, and proceeded to begin charging. The car had been sitting for three weeks, so I was not alarmed at the battery's condition. It has now been 48 hours, and display says the battery is at 91% charge, the same thing it said twelve hours ago. So either my like-new battery can no longer take a full charge, or this unit is flawed in some way.

Other than this odd behavior, I like the SP3. It tells you what it's doing, takes up little space, and comes with a few different connection options.

One last thing. The manual that comes in the box is brief and omits information--like the connection options. I found a better copy online, but that should not be necessary.

Here is an update: after four days of charging (!), the unit finally switched over to "Maintaining", so all seems well.

Kinetik HC1400 - 1400 Watt 12 Volt Power Cell Battery

This battery by far is the best battery to use if you are using high voltage power not only from your factory equipment but allows you to hook up additional items as well and not put any strain on your vehicle. I had the yellow optima battery before but this batter blows any style of those batteries away.

I have a 2000 watt Hifonics amp cea certified at 2000 watts so I actually have 2000 running through my subs and this battery fit perfectly under my hood but then moved it in the trunk as a second battery. I've never heard such a big difference in clarity and loudness because of a single item, this battery is small and packs a punch. Don't ever buy a capacitor for over 500 watts just buy a Kinetik battery and you'll be hooked for life. I upgraded this battery just a few months after purchase for the 1800 more suited for my system.

This battery lasts forever! The specs alone look very good compared to the optima batteries. It's got the same versatility as the optima batteries whether you want to lay it on the side or straight up. For the size, they should be able to output a little more CCA but if you're using it for an audio system or a lowrider this type of battery would work great. If you have a lot of space in the trunk, there are a few other options if you want to go bigger. I think they look great for your show car too!

Solio Classic Universal Hybrid Charger

I bought this product about a year ago. i travel alot an like to use the cell as back up for when I do not have time to sit and wait in a airport. (can recharge on the plane) For my phone and mp3 player it has worked great. It will recharge my razor 2.5 times before being drained.

I noticed it seemed to take a long time until I talked with an engineer friend of mine who told me that most glass, especially glad in cars, is designed now to reduce the full impact of the sun in various ways. Best to to this outside. Upon reading reviews, those who had the best charge rates were those who indeed left theirs outside in one place.

Finally one of the main reasons I invested in this device was to help front the money in a company and technology I beieve we must develop further. By buying this product, I hope the company will make enough to continue to develop better products for us in the future. I have seen this product evolve to this point before buying one that seemed pragmatic and affordable so I would like to help ensure its future.

I've had a great experience with all of my Solio chargers. Critics need to understand the basics of solar power before they complain. This is an excellent product not only for the environment but for the convenience factor. I've had great luck on long camping and back country trips where the Solio has powered my GPS and cell phone when I needed it most. Don't knock it till you try it. And to the wonderful people at Solio I say keep up the excellent work I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

It takes about 8 hours of direct sunlight to fully charge. If its overcast

and/or not pointed towards sun it will take longer. Best to not do it through

a window. Its just common sense.

It comes with the adapter to connect to the ipod. You just plug the solio to

the adapter which leaves you with an USB connector free to hook to the

ipod or iphones cable that came with that device. A lot of people just don't get the connections. Then just push the on/off button and your charging from the solio's internal battery. If you have almost any cellphone adapters can be easily ordered for around $10.

This is a compact, light weight unit designed to recharge our standard hand held electronic devices we lug around with us. I use mine for my cell phone, iPod and kindle. It came with several tips to adapt to different phones, but my Motorola just uses a mini-USB. I had to buy a micro-USB for my kindle and I opted for the iPod cable. If the Solio is fully charged, it will pretty much fully charge any of these units. A full charge will take pretty much all of the capicity of the Solio, so don't even think about fully charging more than one device in a day.

My sister carried one of these around Europe so her kids could use their hand help video games during down time. As various countries have different voltages and different plug configurations, this became a handy tool.

I wanted to give the Solio 5 stars, my only complaint is that it takes MANY, many hours to fully recharge this little guy. You need full and direct sunlight to make it happen. In the desert your gold. If you have this tied to your backpack and you are in a shaded forest for most of the day, don't expect much of a charge.

Recently, I was forced to buy a new feature phone because sadly, my old one slipped from my shirt pocket when I bent over a bucket of scrub water to rinse a rag after mopping up muddy paw prints of eleven Saint Bernards. The one I chose was quite inexpensive but did not come with any chargers.

This is the one I chose for the car. The phone is a white Alcatel, and I was thrilled to find this charger to match it! The advantage is two-fold: 1. White electronic items are much, much easier to find when they are buried in the bottom of my purse. also easier to find at night on the floor or in the console of the car. and 2. The blue LED light is more visible than the old red one that was associated with my prior device. It actually gives off just enough light to help me find the right way around to insert the charger into the phone.

I don't know what is customary with these things, but it does a very good job of charging my phone quickly and thoroughly, and the cord is long enough that I can easily talk while it is charging.

I had the charger itself, but left the hardwiring on my last car that I sold. Instead of purchasing an entire new unit, I looked online and found this on Amazon. It clamps right onto the battery terminal and works great w/ you existing Ctek.

The Charger itself is great. I've had cigarette chargers and other chargers, but none work as well.

Nokia Official OEM Car Charger for your N97 Phone! Original Equipment and Manufacturer (DC 12 volt)

Before a recent 3,000 car trip, I forgot to order a 12-volt car charger for my Nokia N97. Fortunately, I did have a 120-volt Nokia N97 charger in my laptop bag, and had a 12-volt to 120-volt converter for my netbook, so I was able to get by. [Finding a Nokia N97 charger, with the almost proprietary USB style connector at Radio Shack or Walmart is not going to happen].

When I returned from the trip, I ordered a "no name" aftermarket 12-volt charger for the phone. It turned out to be unreliable. That was a wasted $7.

I went back to Amazon, and bought this official Nokia charger for about $10 more than the aftermarket chargers. I was kicking myself for initially "saving" $10 for a no-name charger for my very expensive phone. What if it had damaged the phone? I had spent a lot of money for a very high end phone, and then risked killing it by using a $10 cheaper charger. Where's the logic in that? Why risk your $600 phone by using a $7 charger, when the official Nokia charger is just $10 more. D'oh!

This charger works as it should. It charges the phone quickly, doesn't do anything weird to the car radio, and doesn't get hot. The peace of mind, knowing that it isn't likely to damage the phone, or start a fire in the car, is worth far more than the extra $10 cost. I wouldn't know about doing a technical review of this charger. Somewhere, I read that there's a microchip logic in the charger. If so, that could have been the problem with the cheap charger. This one works very well, doing what it's supposed to do. I didn't give it 5 stars because Nokia is almost certainly overcharging...(Get it? Overcharging?)for this item.

The N97 comes with an adapter which should have let me use my old Nokia car charger with my N97. In practice the adapter and charger wouldn't stay connected while driving. The slightest movement meant my phone wasn't charging.

But now that I have the charger it seems to do it's job brilliantly. Perhaps not as fast as the wall charger that comes with the phone but no slouch either.

I bought this piece of crap and it didn't even work I tried everything for a week went different cars everything didn't work want a refund this piece of s***

Looks cheap, feels cheap, and that's because it is. Lasted 45 days and stopped charger. What did I expect for $2.50? ...at least 90 days dang it! lol...Of course the seller " Electromaster" was unable to help in this matter because I had already used their junk product for more than 30 days. So for that, I say no thanks to this product and now them too. Spend a few bucks more and get something that will last you.

eForcity Car Charger Adapter for Garmin Nuvi 200 205 250 255 GPS

• Compatible With Garmin: Colorado 300/400i/400t/Dakota 10/20/Edge 500/605/705/Nuvi 1200/1250/1260T/1300/1350/1350T/1370T/1390T/1450/1450LMT/1450T/1490LMT/1490T/1690/200/200W/205/205W/2200/2250/2250LT
• Recharge on the go by harnessing power from your car with a cigarette lighter adapter.
• Smart IC chip recognizes a fully charged battery and automatically switches to a saver mode.
• Plug never heats or overcharges the battery. Short circuit protection. LED charging indication.
• Best replacement for the original car charger. Color: Black.

This charger does just what it should at a price that's far below the OEM cost. But the picture doesn't show how short the output cable is, only about half the length of the Garmin original. The cord is coiled, but it's quite stiff and doesn't stretch out too easily. Still, it was long enough for my small car; other users might find this too short for them. Also it's a straight plug for the receiver, while the original has a right angle one. This makes the plug stick out farther in the back. And coupled with the short cord, it puts some extra strain on the receiver power jack. I just needed to move the Garmin a little on the windshield, but again this may be a concern for some users. I docked this adapter a star because of these issues.

Other than the short cable, this is a great value. It powers and charges the receiver just like the original, and you can't beat the price. I have no idea how long it will last, but if I need to replace the charger again I'll probably come back for another of these.

This adapter puts my Garmin GPS unit into the computer connect mode, so it's not suitable for its intended purpose of providing power for use. Additionally the curly cord is too short. The seller authorized a return but will not pay for shipping. Shipping would eat up the refund, so it's a loss. Stay away from this one.

Bluetooth Handsfree In-car Visor Kit for All Samsung Phones

I bought this mostly for work. I drive around as a service tech and get calls on the road quite a bit. Considering I have two phones, one bussiness and one personal, this works great because I can sync both phones to it!! It states to have an 8 hour talk time which works great for a busy day or lenghty call while on the road. So for 24 buck this is perfect! The speaker is loud enough to hear, and I have no problems people hearing me on the other end. The only negative I can think of is that the connection for charging isn't the mirco USB my phones and most things are. Its slightly larger, but the end that plugs into the 12v outlet does detach for a standard USB, so it can plug right in with the dual charger I use. I love it for what I need!!!

Even though I originally brought the device for myself. I gave it to my daughter who fell in love with it. Her boyfriend wanted one for himself, so I ordered a second one.

Delphi SA50000 XM SKYFi Radio Receiver

• Large display shows channel number, channel name, artist name, song title, and channel category
• Plug-and-play connectivity works great with home kit, car kit, and boombox options
• Remote control delivers convenient channel navigation
• Delivers more than 150 high-quality, XM satellite radio stations
• Measures 4.7 x 2.9 x 1.3 inches (W x H x D)

The SA50000 is well-worth the money. It's a bit bulky compared to the Roady 2 but you have to remember that the Roady is for car audio use only. The SA50000 can be installed on a boombox/indoor unit or in the car so you get both functions with this receiver. When you buy this receiver, there are no accessories included except the remote. Use a C2032 battery to power the remote. So before you head out and buy this, don't forget to buy the battery. I had to open one of my old motherboards and pulled out the battery. I don't think it's mentioned on the packaging about what type of battery it uses. So I'm saving you all a headache and telling you. Ok let's start off with the installation. I bought a Delphi Boombox to hook up the receiver. To actually review this product, I would have to review the boombox as well cos without a boombox or car adaptor, this receiver is useless. So...installing the receiver is quite easy on the boombox. The boombox has a cradle that catches the receiver. Be careful not to force the receiver into the cradle mount. Just slide the receiver into the cradle. The contact pins should catch the receiver in the cradle, and then lightly push the receiver forward. Push the receiver on the top-most part of the device. Push the receiver until it clicks. To unseat the receiver, just push it again and it will make a faint click. Pull the receiver off gently.

Now, to activate. It's really a painless process. Make sure that the receiver is hooked up and seated properly in the boombox cradle. Ok, power-up the boombox and receiver. Just have your credit card ready, a pen, and a piece of paper. Once the receiver is powered-up, go to Radio ID channel. To switch channels, use the rotary dialer until it says Radio ID. It should give you the Radio ID number. Copy it and then activate it online. Activation fee via online is about $2.00 less than if you activate it over the phone. Once you get a message on the XMradio activation page, go back to your receiver and start looking for the channels, starting with channel 1,4,5,6,7, then 122. You can also use the number keys to switch channels. The ENTER key is that big button on the rotary dialer's hub. If after activating it, you don't get any sound from the channels I mentioned, please don't blow a gasket. Give it like about 30 mins. for the satellite to update your receiver. After about 30 minutes, you should be getting most if not all 120 channels.

Now the remote...well one thing is missing on the remote and that's the MENU key that's found on the receiver. Maybe it's somewhere on the remote but I haven't found it yet. Remote is fairly straightforward operation. As for the boombox, it comes with an antenna. It has a 20 ft. cable. I suggest you put the antennae close to a window in your house. It says to look for the southern part of the house to get best results. I didn't bother looking for itcos how many people here in US know exactly where the south part of their house is? Anyways, get the antenna on an elevated position and turn it towards the window. The receiver has a function that will tell you the signal strength of the satellite waves and the terrestrial repeater waves. You can access this by going to MENU and then scroll down to Antenna Setup. If you see four-bars filled for satellite and three bars filled for terrestrial, then you are GOOD TO GO. The boombox packs a wallop! The sound is crisp, tight, and powerful. I have it at level 20 volume and it's shaking my lounge. I don't know what the max volume is and I won't even try it. The boombox comes with a humongous sized power adapter to power your receiver and boombox. Overall, the SA50000 is a fantastic receiver, it's easy to install, activate, and it gives a nice clear sound and signal. My suggestion is buy SA50000 and keep it for home use only. If you want to have a satellite radio for the car, I suggest you get the Roady 2.

Buy Delphi SA50000 XM SKYFi Radio Receiver Now

I was researching recently on which satellite radio system I should get. I came across two choices: XM radio or Sirius Satellite radio. XM offers 130 channels while Sirius offered something like 110 channels. XM was also 9.99 while Sirius was 12.95. By comparing I decided to get the XM Delphi because of the number of channels and for the monthly price. So far its been awesome, music is crystal clear and is everything people made it to be. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it isnt 100% commercial free. I would say its in the range of 95% commercial free. It has any genre your looking for, including 12 news channels (MSNBC, NBC, ABC, BBC etc...), 3 Comedy Channels, and Automated Weather Channels.

I purchased the home kit simply because my home theatre system is fully compatible. So far no problems I highly recommend this product. If you are planning on purchasing this product, the activation might be a little complicated. If you activate over the Internet its 9.99 or over the phone for 14.99. Technical support is very poor for this product, however rarely will it glitch or have a problem.

XM Radio, what can I say it was the first and still remains number one in sales and stock for Satellite radio! And those baseball fans out there, XM will have EACH and EVERY MLB game starting from the spring training up to to the world series! It doesn't matter if you're a Dodgers fan living in NYC or your local market does not play your team (there are no blackouts where they block the game), you'll hear your team!

Did I mention XM has FOUR channels with Christmas songs? One with tradational, another with contemporary, another with country and the last (my favorite) is songs like the Chipmonks, Muppets, Barney, (you know all those non-tradational songs we all love).

Ever listen to the radio and say "hey what's the name of that song?" Well no more doing that with this receiver as it displays the song title and singer! Plus you can hit the memory button and it'll store it for you!

Me I have the SA5000 SKyFi with the Delphi SA1001 Boombox. XM has a VERY strong signal (stronger than any other), so much that I have the antenna on top of the table in my bedroom (signal must go through walls, and part of another house) to reach me. Now that's strong! Weather does not effect the signal, and it does not fade like AM/FM radios. You either get the signal (again I'll bet you will) or you don't. Just be sure to face the antenna south (if you're using it in the house).

What I like about XM is the upcoming MLB (trust me you'll hear more about this as spring comes), and the receiver allows you to keep 20 channels. There's a Decades (I enjoy the 80's), country, hits, christian, rock, urban, jazz&blues, Lifestyle, latin, world, classical, kids, news (has all the news like FOX, CNN, CNN Headline, MSBNC, CNBC, BBC), sports, comedy (3 comedy one of them has funny talk shows), talk/entertainment (Rollye James, Art Bell/George Noorey, Alan Colmes, Mike Medved, Bruce Williams, MIke Gallalgher), Traffic Weather, Special Events and Premium (Playboy and Opie and Anthony).

And did I mention that with XM you'll be hard pressed (or have to listen 24/7 for days on end) to ever hear a repeat song!!

What's real good is that you can listen to your tunes/show and scroll through and then go to whatever channel and see what's currently playing, PLUS with the weather you can either scroll or tune to the weather channel you want (have all the major cities) and see the curren temp., conditions and any road or emergencies as in traffic, etc. XM is the only one that has this!

And you get a remote control that gives you FULL control of your radio, including the volume! Even has a mute button! The display is a orange/amber color.

Personally I enjoy listening either with the lights out or dimmed down as XM lights up and the information on the screen and buttons make it very calming and cool to watch while listening to my favorite shows!

You can't go wrong with this receiver! Nor will you find this price anywhere! Look around at your local stores or other online stores! It's basically for free!

Want Delphi SA50000 XM SKYFi Radio Receiver Discount?

Satellite Radio Good. If you spend much time in the car I would almost say it is a must have. The channel variety, super clear reception. Gotta love it.

Delphi Bad. The first Skyfi I received did not work at all. The replacement worked for a while but now the tuning knob functions erratically. It will skip stations and if you land on a station for more than a few seconds it will automatically change the channel. The volume knob on the boom box no longer works as intended. No matter which way you turn it the volume goes down. If it wasn't for my remote control both the receiver and boom box would be completely worthless. Speaking of the remote control. The clip mounted to the back of the remote control is inserted under the battery cover. Occasionally when trying to clip the remote to something the clip will pop off and take the battery cover and sometimes the battery with it. What a heap of junk.

I will never purchase anything from Delphi again. If that means I have to switch satellite providers so be it.

This is a replacement for the original that has been eaten by the jungle.

Good product, good delivery and the price was right.

Naztech N100 Universal 1000mAh Compact Vehicle and Travel USB Charging Kit Retail Packaged

Two stars for no electrical specifications in the listing.

iPads require 2.1 amps at 5 volts through the USB connector. this is more than double the power that 'standard' USB ports provide. With no actual specs published, I doubt these devices are capable of charging iPads in less than 24 hours, if at all.

OTOH, there is the remote possibility that they do provide that power; anyone have more facts than my idle speculation?

Camco 44953 RV Valve Stem Cap for Standard Tire Valves or Extenders

Pros:

* No batteries required.

* Do not appreciable add to the weight of the vehicle.

Cons:

* Did not make my vehicle go any faster or improve my gas mileage.

* These shiny chrome additions did not turn my car into a "chick magnet" ... as I was hoping they would.

These caps did not come with any instructions so I have included the following hints, which I learned from my own experience:

* Install the caps when the vehicle is stopped. It is very difficult to install these on a moving vehicle.

* Turn them in a clockwise direction. For some reason counter-clockwise does not seem to work.

* Remove the caps before trying to inflate the tires.

* Despite the fact that they are covered with a shiny silver-like metal. Do not present these to your wife on your 25th anniversary as your gift.

OK, I'll be serious. These seem to be well made and durable. What else can you say about valve stem caps. I'm happy with mine.

When I purchased these valve covers I had no idea that almost 2 years later they would cost me $1,000.00 because I installed them on 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. Until yesterday I had no idea that the valve stems used on tire pressure monitoring sensors are made of aluminum. These valve covers are made of brass and because these are dissimilar metals galvanic corrosion will occur. Since installing these covers I have removed them several times to adjust tire pressures and did not suspect any problems. Last week we had our first cool evening and the next morning the tire pressure monitor indicated low tire pressure so I hauled out the compressor so I could check and adjust tire pressures. Much to my surprise I was unable to remove the valve covers. My first thought was that the auto dealer had cross-threaded them when they rotated the tires about 2 weeks previously. I then used a small wrench to try and remove the covers only to have the stem snap off. I thought that it was a fluke so I went to the next tire and the same thing happened. On the 3rd wheel the stem snapped and the valve core flew out and all the air came out of the tire. I put the donut spare on and the next mornng dropped the tire off at the dealer for repair. An hour later the dealer called to advise that the repair cost would be $250 because I was told that the sensor could not be repaired and had to be replaced. All 4 sensors will have to be replaced, hence the $1,000 repair cost because I lost 2 of the factory valve stem covers because they were slippery and difficult to grip.

You should only use plastic valve stem covers on TPMS equipped automobiles and the product description should include a warning against using this item on TPMS equipped automobiles. Simply stating that these are for standard valve stems is inadequate.
