Complete Charging & Synching Solution (Car Charger, Travel Charger & USB cable) for Motorola Droid (

Complete Charging & Synching Solution for Motorola Droid (The USB cable and the car charger work great. When I use the travel charger, however, my Droid sometimes reacts badly (screen flicker, apps don't launch, etc). It does not happen every time, but it has been enough to make me hesitant to use the travel charger. I have had no issues with the wall charger that came with the Droid. I will need to look elsewhere for a backup wall charger.

It looks and works fine. It appears to be durable enough to last about as long as the phone will...

UPDATE: 04/21/08 I got what I paid for. After using it for less than a month, it randomly stopped working. I have not damaged the charger in any way. It has remained in my car and has not been exposed to extreme temperatures or even sunlight! Buyer beware, even if you are on a tight budget, you need to get a charger that is at least a little more expensive than this one...

It works great and I keep my phone plugged in to it while I drive 2 1/2 hrs to San Francisco. I use my blue-tooth ear piece which can drain the battery fast on the phone. I've used it with Google maps running and talking on the phone at the same time. When I get to SF, the battery is fully charged and ready to go.. Good price as well.

Cobra CPI1575 1500W Power Inverter

Cobra CPI1575 1500W Power Inverter
  • Converts battery power to 120 V AC household power
  • Three AC receptacles
  • Voltage and power meter
  • Automatic thermal shutdown and reverse polarity protection
  • Low battery alarm and shutdown

This unit is great. I previously acquired cobras 400watt lil brother to this one, and I'm very impressed with both. Solid construction for my use, and power where it counts. This unit is primarily for my 4.4 cu back-up fridge, and periodic power tool jobs. I definitly want a second mounted next to it soon.

Buy Cobra CPI1575 1500W Power Inverter Now

This inverter is great for any outages. It produces enough watts to run a large fridge and 3 100 watt bulbs which is basically all you need during an outage. Or you can power all rooms in the house with lights and leave the fridge out since it will stay for @ least 24 hrs winter months and 18 hours summer months. Great product, would recommend this product.

Tripp Lite APS2424 Inverter / Charger 2400W 24V DC to 120V AC 14A / 55A Hardwire

Tripp Lite APS2424 Inverter / Charger 2400W 24V DC to 120V AC 14A / 55A HardwireI just purchased the APS2424 after a fantastic phone call with their technical support team.

I had been considering installing this unit in our Wood-Fired Pizza Truck (BasicKneadsPizza.com). We had purchased a nice generator, but after installing one on another truck, I wasn't blown away, even the quiestest Honda 3000 still stinks like a traffic jam.

James from Tripp-Lite's technical support line picked up quickly and gave me a free refresher course on physics; 36v input means 3 batteries in series, 24v=2 batteries. To double the capacity, a second bank in parallel would cost ~1/3 less with the 24v APS2424.

Not to mention the Auto-Transfer switch, and load sensor, this unit is basically going to be my prep table's personal assistant.

Our truck is going to rock this unit and two batteries in series. I am going to return an $80 transfer switch, sell a Parallax converter/charger for $100 and a Honda Eu3000is for $1200.

Generator system= ~$1600, noisy, stinky, needs gas and oil changes, huge amount of work to install.

Inverter system= ~$850, silent, maintenence free.

Sold.

I purchased this inverter for loads that have heavy inductive startup motors. Refrigerator, well pump, etc which are powered off my solar battery system. Works perfectly where an Aims 5000 watt unit failed repeatedly. Handles startup currents from inductive loads perfectly as long as you are in the rated overload capacity. Workmanship is excellent. Instructions are detailed. Well worth the extra cost in quality and ruggedness. Very happy with unit.

Buy Tripp Lite APS2424 Inverter / Charger 2400W 24V DC to 120V AC 14A / 55A Hardwire Now

This was an easy install, plenty of power and good assortment of options.

I chose the 24V unit to lower the current draw requirement on the batteries.

With a couple of good AGM batteries it's a sweet backup for lights and most consumer electronics.

I connected the unit to a External Generator panel on my house for emergency backup power since power outages lasting more than 5 hours are extremely rare. (We are near a substation.)

My only complaint is not about the unit, it is about the documentation.

PWM Sine Wave does not describe the output wave form properly for most people. Searching for PWM Sine Wave often yields Pulse With Modulation generated Sine Wave which is a common way to produce "Pure Sine Wave". Searching for the definition of PWM Sine Wave yielded anything but the type of wave form this product produces.

The output of this Inverter is a "Modified Square Wave" in that it has a very short rise and fall time that approximates an alternating current and is compatible with most household electronics. There are advantages to this waveform, first and foremost the output is simple to generate so the product will be very reliable/rugged. Apparently there has been a shift in terminology over the years to "Pure Sine Wave" as apposed to just plain "Sine Wave", even "Modified Sine Wave" most of us knew was a square wave.

My only issue is that I have a medical device that needs to have "Pure Sine Wave" to properly drive the heater in the device. SCR controllers (AKA Dimmers) have a hard time with square waves and the output is unpredictable. If I had known it was not a "Pure Sine Wave" I would not have purchased this product.

No, I am not going to return it. I'll use it as a backup to the much more troublesome sine wave unit that I only need for my refrigerator and medical device.

Even though the website stated that this cable would fit my specific MP3 player (Samsung YP-K3), it did not fit. The connector was too small.

GudCraft 10W 15W Max Vertical Wind Turbine Wind Generator

GudCraft 10W 15W Max Vertical Wind Turbine Wind GeneratorI purchased this wind turbine because I like the longevity and stability of the VAWT design and because I was looking for a small device that could power small battery packs for use in extended camping.

The product came securely packed in foam with no damage to any of the parts. As I removed the parts from the packaging I immediately realized that the list price of this product should probably have been no more than $40.00.

The generator assembly and the pillar are quite heavy and appear to be made of cast iron. They are much larger and heavier than a 50W generator I already have. The entire device weights 72 oz (4.5 lbs). The pillar alone weights 19 oz with the generator taking up most of the rest of the weight. The generator assembly spins very smoothly. When the pillar is connected to the generator the axis extending up from the generator is not vertical. It appears that the pipe comprising the pillar was cut at an angle before the top plate was welded into position. This creates mounting problems.

The blades appear to be made of cast aluminum and are airfoil shaped. One of the blades was flattened in the middle as if a large weight had stamped it. Each blade has two rivets that are used to hold it in place on the horizontal flanges. Unfortunately, the rivets are not uniformly placed. Some are higher or lower than others. This means that when the device is assembled the flanges cannot be perfectly horizontal. The blades are strong and should last a long time.

The weakness of the entire system are the horizontal flanges that connect the blades to the generator axis. They appear to be of very thin stamped aluminum. When you pick them up by the center the outer edges droop. They should have been made thicker. Further, the slots at the outer edge of the flange where the blades are to be inserted are smaller than the blades. This means you have to enlarge the hole in the flange (a dangerous proposition when they are so flimsy) or trim off part of the trailing edge of the blade. Even with the trailing edge trimmed, they are very difficult to insert into place. The weight of the blade can bend the end of the flange if you let go of it. You must support the flange while forcing the blade into the hole. You must take your time and be very careful.

Once the entire device is put together you must treat it very delicately. The weight of the generator and pillar can easily damage the flanges. After spending over two hours putting the device together I took it outside to see if it would turn in the wind. It is not exactly a "low wind" generator, but it does turn. During a lull in the wind I set it on a flat surface. A small gust of wind tipped the device over. It fell on its side permanently damaging the flanges. If you attach this device to a load, be sure that the blades are not spinning. Otherwise the axis may tear through the flanges as the generator resistance

increases.

If the manufacturer will take care of the flanges and make the top of the pillar horizontal this could be a great product. Until then you probably shouldn't waste your money.

It comes unassembled, and no instructions. See that DVD on "what's in the box"? It's not in the box. I went to the Gudcraft website, and the tech forum guy e-mailed me a PDF on how to put it together. OK, so I put it together, now what? There are 2 PC boards hanging by wires, what are they? How do you hook it up to a battery? Hello! I called them in Washington, and although the woman who answered the phone tried to be helpful, I was on hold for so long, I eventually got disconnected. But she did tell me there was no DVD, they sent a paper manual. Yes, but the paper manual that I was emailed only tells you how to put the blades on.... I'm still hopeful that I will get this on my travel trailer, and add wind power to my solar, and I'm hoping, it will indeed charge a car battery like I was told by tech support. But this lack of instructions is just plain stupid, and I hope this wind generator performs better than the good folks at GudCraft.

Dear GudCraft

This vertical wind turbine was shipped with no instructions for Assembly if a person was not mechanically inclined they would be lost! I put it together. I would like you to send me a schematic diagram of the generator and the regulator circuit so that I can understand this itemlike how do you stop it if the winds are excessive so it does not destroy itself horizontal turbines come with that feature. Also the quality of this item is not worth $189.00 I feel like I really got ripped off, and I would not order anything else from your company period.

Thank you

This vertical turbine wind generator came with no instructions or paperwork whatsoever nothing about assembly or the electronics needed to connect it. After calling the manufacturer and then downloading assembly instructions (still nothing on the circuit needs) it never turned even one revolution when set up in a windy location. Unless you live on the shore or in some other VERY windy place, I don't recommend this unit to anyone. I returned it as a defective design.

Want GudCraft 10W 15W Max Vertical Wind Turbine Wind Generator Discount?

I have to agree with others as there is no manual so I looked at the picture on amazon to see which way the blades went on. After putting it together I found out the generator is an alternator, the blade direction doesn't matter. It appears the turbine is a 3 phase alternator which didn't matter which way I spun the blades to produce electricity. The plug with a circuit board on it has keyed plugs so you can't plug in the board the wrong way but if you must know it is a full wave bridge rectifier for the 3 phase input with a filter capacitor on the output of the diodes and a 7812 voltage regulator to keep the output voltage to 12v dc. The Red and Black wires are the output of the 12 volts and there is a spare plug on the end so you can hook up to it via soldering. You could just cut off the plug for the red/black wires and tie them into your circuit. I turned on a fan in my room to test the turbine with and was able to get 8-9v with the fan on high which was enough to give me .02 amps on my solar charger which boosts the voltage to the 12v battery to trickle charge it. Although the blades go on very tight, I used a small needle nose pliers to pound down the arms. The arms need to be tight to keep the blades from sliding around and getting loose and sloppy. Personally I have no trouble with the turbine and like the small size of it and with my charger it doesn't have to produce 12v to charge my battery. It appears to be very quiet running. So far So good. Time will tell on how long it runs without problems.

Milwaukee 0780-20 28 Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum,

Milwaukee 0780-20 28-Volt Cordless Wet/Dry VacuumFirst, it should be obvious that this is a bare tool. The batteries/charger cost more than the unit. Therefore, it is good if you have other V28 tools.

Next, somewhere someone commented that this is as powerful as a corded vac. It is not. A normal shop vac is around 1000W to 1500W, and it is unrealistic to expect this little portable guy with a 1-1/4" hose to have the same power. It just isn't as powerful.

But, it has a very usable power for my intended purpose, which is to say, it has enough power to clean up a small "mess" without having to lug out a real vac. I find I'm also using it for a surprising amount of small around the house/in the car cleaning/dusting since it is so conveniently portable. The cordless portability is the reason to buy.

A major compromise between power and battery life is that the battery (a big V28 mind you) only lasts maybe 5 minutes. This is enough for a small project clean-up, but don't expect it to clean up your shop. On the plus side, it uses 1-1/4" accessories which concentrate the available suction well and which are also the standard size for home vacuum cleaners. This item does not come with a dust brush attachment which I considered a necessity, but luckily I just bought one for a regular home vac.

The hose is VERY flexible which is nice. It accordians down to a small U-shaped unit which fits into a holder on the side when not in use. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic since this was one of my questions when purchasing it. It is fairly easy to carry in one hand and vacuum with the other.

I cannot quite give it 5 stars because I think it is still a bit overpriced, and some parts like the hinges, etc., seem a bit on the cheap side and clunky to use. I cannot comment on long-term durability yet. Hope this review helps you.

I was excited to make this purchase and am glad I did. This is so handy and I find myself reaching for it all the time because it is so quick. One of the best things I found out about this unit, is that you can put the hose into two ports, one for suction and another for blowing. I use the blowing feature for cleaning out computers and filters. Works great. Absolutely love it.

Buy Milwaukee 0780-20 28 Volt Wet/Dry Vacuum, Now

This quality, powerful, suitcase-style vacuum was designed with the craftsman and home workshop in mind. If you already have the V28 batteries for other Milwaukee tools, you will find a use for this vacuum. It costs less than one V28 battery. Many work shops have several stations and dragging a hefty shop vac around on rollers through a maze becomes a real pain. It is also great for the commercial handyman who travels to people's homes to do odd jobs and is neat enough in appearance to please the lady who wants the shelves in her bedroom swapped with the shelves in her closet and a new do-dad added on to where the old do-hickey used to be hanging. For electricians and plumbers who sometimes work without power, this makes clean-up by either blowing or vacuuming a breeze. The self-contained, box shape with carrying handle makes transportation simple. Granted, if I didn't already have several V28 batteries, this tool would not have been an option. However, a man can not have too many tools.

Nothing compares to this vacuum. Anyone complaining about battery life or saying your better off with a regular plug in vacuum is an idiot. It's great for small jobs but I get by with just using it instead of a huge corded vacuum on any job site. I find I use it more than a standard large vacuum because it is so portable. I've also used it to drain supply lines so they can be soldered for plumbing repairs (a real time saver). It's also great for hard to reach areas where a cord is just not in the cards. It's compact size makes it practical to carry in the truck daily which nay,ales your work better. If your on the fence hope off and get this vacuum!

Original Motorola KRZR K1 OEM Car Charger (SPN5332A)

Original Motorola KRZR K1 OEM Car ChargerThe moto krzr k1m I received from Verizon is a cranky phone when it comes to charging through its usb port. It won't recognize a charge through a hub on a desktop computer. And I found it won't recognize a charge through a car charger that converts 12v to usb voltage, even with a Motorola usb cable. So I bought a Motorola car charger for about $8 bucks including S&H and now everything works fine. If I need to charge the phone in the car while I drive I no longer have a problem. The unit is put together well, has the moto logo, and has a nice coiled cable to the mini-usb plug. If you're getting the "charger not recognized" message on your moto phone with an aftermarket charger, shop around and get one of these: SYN1630 is the part number. Problem solved.

This car charger works great!!! It also cost 5 times less than the exact same item at the AT&T WIRELESS store than at AMAZON.COM.

It works fine once the connection is fitted correctly. However, on my Motorola RAZR it doesn't fit really tightly. I have to jiggle it around a bit in order to be charging. That's been a bit of a hassle when doing it while driving. Once connected, it works just great. And the connection to the car power port is solid.

Gilsson Direct Wire Cable for Garmin Nuvi 205 255 265 550 660 755 760 765 775 885 Magellan 1412 421

Gilsson Direct Wire Cable for Garmin Nuvi 205 255 265 550 660 755 760 765 775 885 Magellan 1412 4210 TomTom Go 720 OneXL
  • 8 Feet Long. Voltage Converter/fuse box is in the middle, 4 feet from the connector and 4 feet from power source

I ordered two of these, one for myself and the other for my father. I also installed both of them an our bikes and they work perfectly.

As far as installation goes, I would recommend using a fuse tap (such as an add-a-circuit) from and auto parts store so that the converter box in the line doesn't drain the battery if you don't ride for a while. You may find, however that your fuse circuit is still hot because you may have relays on your fuse box, in that case, I would recommend installing a switch with the hot wire running into the fuse tap so that all you need to do is flip the switch off and the converter box will not use up your battery.

I don't think the converter box uses up that much power, but if it is directly connected to your battery (or you have the fuse tap in a hot circuit ((by hot circuit, I mean that it is getting power even with the ignition off)) ), the converter box IS using power constantly, so that is why i recommend using a switch or a fuse tap to a switched circuit (meaning a circuit that is not receiving power when the ignition is off).

Make sure you ground everything you install, or it won't work, and make sure every new line has a fuse (why i recommend the fuse tap).

You will have to ground the converter box or the setup will not work. If you use a switch with an LED indicator on it, you will also have to ground the switch if you want the LED to work, but not grounding the switch should not impact the setup's functionality as long as the converter box is grounded (speaking from logic, not experience).

If you have any question for motorcycle install, feel free to ask... I know how difficult it can be to find answers to these questions, but fortunately i found a setup that worked for me and my dad.

Buy Gilsson Direct Wire Cable for Garmin Nuvi 205 255 265 550 660 755 760 765 775 885 Magellan 1412 421 Now

Nice cable for direct wire up of the Garmin Nuvi. The only awkward part is the fact that the step down transformer (black egg looking thing) is only 2 feet from the plug that goes into the Nuvi. That makes it hard to hide the cable from view. It has a small led to let you know that it is connected to power and that seems to draw a small amount of current even when not plugged into the Nuvi. Keep that in mind if current drain is a concern.

A note inside the packaging for this unit says the following: "Thank you for the purchase of the Gilsson Direct Wire Cable. Please be sure to test our Direct Wire Cable with your GPS to ensure it does not go into PC Charge Mode while connected to the power source. In certain ISOLATED cases of Garmin nuvi 205, 255W and 265W GPS receivers, customers have reported the PC Charge Mode issue.......". Well, my Garmin nuvi 205W displays a PC to GPS connection icon on the screen after about 30 seconds on this power converter, i.e. the map can't be displayed, making it utterly useless. If the power unit has known issues with certain GPS models they should not list those models as compatible with their product. Back to Amazon it goes.

Two main problems:

1) Poor quality -The unit had a intermittent open circuit at the lower strain relief connector from the unit. If I moved the cable it would make connection but would lose connection again. I knew I'd have to fix their poor wiring for the unit to have a chance of being reliable, but it didn't matter since it was incompatible with my Nuvi 255 (see next problem).

2) Garmin issues -The unit comes with a little slip of paper that shows that Gilsson knowingly sells this product with a problem that it goes into PC charge mode when connected. They claim this only occurs with Nuvi 205, 255W, and 265W GPS receivers. I have a Nuvi 255 and it does have the problem, making the Gilsson unit useless. I'm glad it works for some other customers, but for me, this was a bad purchase.

I rarely post reviews unless a product is either very good or very bad. This one is in the bad category. Beware.

WKA12-12F2 Replacement Battery 12 volt 12ah F2 terminals

WKA12-12F2 Replacement Battery 12 volt 12ah F2 terminalsI just had to buy 2 of these batteries for an APC UPS power supply. This is the second time I have replaced these batteries and the last set of Werker batteries lasted 3 years. I have used Werker batteries and had reasonable success with them and the price was 60% of buying the original replacement batteries.

I did have one battery go bad after a little over a year so that is why I gave it only 4 stars. The warranty is for 1 year. (Same as the warranty on the original replacement batteries)

They are good quality and lower in price for the equivalent performance. They are 12 VDC batteries rated at 12 AH. When you are changing them in a UPS, make sure that you remove any external battery jumper (If you have one on your UPS) for safety reasons. Also carefully remove and save your internal connection cables and make sure that the fuse in still ok that is located between the two batteries.

They will not be fully charged when you get them so they will take at least 24 hours to reach peak performance. Based on the results I have seen in my personal experience these batteries are a good buy.

Quality, value for product, fit well into battery compartment and I would recommend this product to anyone needing this product.

It is true that this is not a Werker brand battery, but it is a replacement for the listed Werker brand battery at a very reasonable price. The one that I received from eCom arrived quickly but just packed within bubble wrap and a couple of bubble-wrap envelopes. However, it seemed to survive the trip from New York to Arizona and went right in my UPS and tested fine with almost no charging time before I tested it. The date code on the battery was a little over a year old. So only time will tell how long the battery lasts for me and whether I get the service out of it that I got from the Werker battery that it replaced. I will update this review if I encounter problems--otherwise you can assume that things are still working fine for me.

Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 45 Amp Converter/Charger with Built-in Charg

Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 45 Amp Converter/Charger with Built-in Charge WizardWe are full time RV's. Charger is lightweight and easily fit into the tight space in our RV. Installation was simple and easily used the existing wiring. Charged and maintains our 2 12v batteries very well.

Replacing an older linear 25A unit, it fit right into the available space, and could use entirely existing wiring.

If using stranded main output wire, you might want to crimp on a ferrule, as the (hex-key, not slotted or phillips) 8-32 screws that secure the wire (max. AWG 4) will tend to spread stranded wire; with solid copper this won't be an issue.

From box-open to installed and running took less than 1 hour, mostly hooking up the fuse block (see other reviews).

The Charge Wizard blinked contentedly to itself for about 48 hours, connected to my 2 Marine deep discharge batteries, then went to float. So far I haven't noticed the cooling fan running (at 30A or less). The output seems to be 13.2 VDC, with ripple under load below 120mV according to my DVM.

I bought this unit on the recommendation of two friends who use them in their RVs. They just bought the Charge Wizard plug-in units because their existing inverters had the capability built in, but my old charger was a "cheapy" that put a constant charge on the battery and shortened it's life. Haven't had it in the trailer long, but so far it works great. When I first hooked up this unit it even partially brought the old battery back to life, but ot was too far gone, so I bought a new battery. Since we use our traler infrequently, it is very important to have the battery properly charged. A new battery might only last a year or two at best without the Charge Wizard. My friends batteries are pushing 5 years. Another advantage is that when I fire up the generator out in the boonies the battery will get a fast charge automatically while I'm using the microwave or air conditioner. It was easy to hook up, and of course Amazon's low price and free shipping didn't hurt either.

Replacing the power converter/battery charger in a 1985 Shasta travel trailer. The old setup was 30 amps which is plenty for the minimal power needed, but this 45 amp was priced to beat, so we went with it.

We did have to do some Gerry-rigging due to the age of the old setup. We didn't replace the circuit breaker box, so we had to make some adjustments to get things hooked up with that. We also kept the individual fuse setup from the old system and that took some extra maneuvering.

This converter/charger is working great. It charges the house battery without issue. With ac hookup, we can run everything at once with no blown fuses/circuits. With battery power, we can run the water pump and lights without any issue (before, we never could get the lights to work on battery power).

One note: when inserting the wires, be very careful how much you loosen the screws. They don't unscrew all the way out, and if you unscrew them too far, they move out of alignment and strip and once that happens, there's no fixing it without taking the entire thing out and apart. (We ended up using electrical wire to overcome that little mistake but not before trying to fight it for ages).

If you're replacing a newer setup, it should be a very easy process. If you're replacing an old setup, you may need to work a bit harder, but it will work great.

We have been very impressed by the PD9245CV from Progressive Dynamics. I ordered this unit to replace the Elixir Industries ELX45 45 Amp Solid State Converter/Charger that originally came with our camper. The Elixir serves as the Converter/Charger and the 110v/12v distribution panel for the whole camper and the PD9245CV is only the Converter/Charger, but we didn't want to replace the distribution panel. We always had a challenge with the Elixir unit as we could over load the unit if we used too many things in the camper at once. The fan was also very loud and would run with almost anything on.

The Progressive Dynamics unit is rated at the same amperage as the old Elixir, but operates much much better. We can turn on every 12v device in the camper and the fan doesn't even start running hard. On top of that the fan is very quiet and runs at variable speeds. I had to open the cabinet and put my had over the fan to tell that it was working. Last, but not least, the 4-stage battery charger and maintainer is much better for your deep-cycle batteries than the basic chargers that will gas-off your battery if you leave it plugged in too long. With the Progressive you can plug it in and forget it.

The unit sold from Amazon IS a retail package so it does include the Progressive Dynamics PD 9200 Series Pendant, so you don't have to buy a separate one.

Tecmate Optimate 3 Plus Battery Charger - --

Tecmate Optimate 3 Plus Battery Charger - --First off, I didn't purchase this item on Amazon, it was a gift from a Canadian friend, so there may be some differences between my product and the one sold here. Mine is an Optimate 3+, and looks the same as the one pictured, except that its a different color. That out of the way, I can say that I bought it after the battery in my 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S lost 100% of its charge and was deemed to be dead. My Porsche dealer replaced it, not with a Porsche battery, but with an Interstate MTP-91. So I'm now being quite careful with my battery.

It is early days, but the Optimate 3+ has bee working well. It has many modes, which correspond to the different battery states that it identifies. I'm no battery expert, but it seems to have a mode for nearly every condition. It has a maintenance mode, so I can leave it plugged in permanently, aparently. I will update this review in the future as I get more experience with it. So far, it is doing what I want: charging when necessary, and keeping the battery fully charged without overcharging.

  • High Quality Generic (Non-OEM) Item.

I purchased the chargers so I could have my phone readily available. I seen these and thought wow for this price I cant go wrong.

I was way way wrong! Not only did both chargers flake out after less than 2 weeks of use, but the car charger almost caused a fire in my car! I dont know if the random weirdness my phone now has about it was cause from the charger shorting out, but I can tell you that these products are dangerous and should be avoided!

The charger got so hot that it was almost to hot to pull out of the outlet, and caused my truck to smell of burnt plastic and electronics for nearly a week!

It was on the brink of catching on fire!

Please stay away and spend a little extra money on a name brand. I did after this happened and have not had an issue since. So to me that ruled out my vehicle outlet as the culprit.

And please please dont buy this for your teenagers cause Lord only knows what would have happened if this had happened to them.

This is a great charger that is quite versitle in terms of devices that can plug into it. First I should warn you that you should check your device and make sure it is rated for the appropriate output voltage and amperage. However, after doing so I found that in addition to my Archos 5 internet tablet, I could also charge my Garmin 720 NUVI, 2 different cell phones, and 2 different bluetooth headsets with the appropriate USB cable (USB micro or mini). I highly recommend this as a replacement for any lost chargers for many USB mini/micro compatible devices.

Seems to be a good product and only problem there might be is it seems like cheaply made but so far so good. I would recommend it for the price.

Works great. Great quality at a great price. Multiple uses for charging any usb charge capable device. Using for phones, games, Wii chargers.

Premium Car Charger + Atom LED Keychain Light for Nokia Lumia 710 (T-Mobile)

Premium Car Charger + Atom LED Keychain Light for Nokia Lumia 710I bought this charger since I am on the road a lot with my job and not always able to use a wall charger. This product seemed to be pretty sturdy, but a few months after I started using it, the peice that goes into my phone stopped working and would only work at certain angles. I thought it was my phone, but if I use another charger, it works just fine. Im not too disappointed though, becuase it was super cheap! It did work for a while though, and it does have a red light that comes on when its plugged into the cigarette lighter. This is a pretty decent charger for what was paid.

Works great for a quick on the go charge for your vehicle. Great product for the price its worth the money!!

There isn't a whole lot to say about this. Arrived fairly quickly plugged it in and it works. This is actually the second one I've gotten; the other was part of a package that included a soft rubber case which is excellent. I just needed another charger for our other car.

6 Watt 24 volt LED Display Solar Pulse Battery Charger 735X406

6 Watt 24 volt LED Display Solar Pulse Battery Charger 735X406I own several large former military trucks. They don't get a lot of use so I had need for a solar charger to help maintain the batteries. I have found that this product works very well and performs exactly as I had hoped. My M920 truck starts right up. The solar charger appears to be very well made and sturdy. I have just ordered a second one to use with my M818 truck.
