Black Dual 12v Dc Double Car Cigarette Socket Adapter Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This dual charger is OK for the low amp charging jobs like GPS, Bluetooth and Cellphone auto charging. However, give it a bigger job like an 8 amp draw mini moto air pump (for pumping air into the tires) and it blew this 12 Volt Two Way DC Car Charger into a smelly mess (along with my cig lighter fuse). FYI-The Scosche 12 volt twin adapter is the same as this one.

I received the item very quickly as promised, no worries there. used the device for 1 week and 1 of the 2 sides stopped working. I did receive an email from the seller after advising my situation, I was impressed by the fast response. this may or may not have been a factory defect. Bottom line, is the unit broke, for whatever reason.

I got this product to charge my phone, use an FM transmitter and use a GPS system in any order. I have not had any problems of the unit overloading like the other reviewers have described. I would just use caution before plugging in anything that draws a lot of power. One thing you need to consider is that it may need to be positioned vertically as in my car it blocks the stick shift. But not a big deal. Overall a good deal and get the job done.

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

Customer Ratings:

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

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

Honest reviews on Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Battery Lithium-Polymer Replacement Battery

I purchased 3 of these batteries in addition to the one that came with my drone. The battery life is not very long. After a few months, only 1 of the 4 batteries works. 2 only last 2 minutes, one does not work at all (blinking red light), and the one that does work, only works if I use it immediately after charging. If I charge it and then fly the drone the next day, the battery will only last about 1 minute.

Now, I need new batteries (3 of them), but it's hard spending $120 dollars on 3 batteries that will only last a few months.

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

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

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

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

This is a good little meter.

Thumb uppers: Small overall size, large LCD display, auto-ranging, uses 2 AA batteries, uses standard sized banana plugs so is compatible with several 3rd party or customized probes/connectors.

Thumb downers: probe clips are such weak, soft rubber that they don't grip the probes securely. And it would be nice for a little more $$ to include a case. So instead buy a $3 camera case to solve both deficiencies. Too bad the over-sized instruction booklet isn't the same size as the meter so it can be stored in the same case.

This is a meter of above average quality for the price. A great meter to have for the do it your-selfer for around the house, car or boat. However, one function that is lacking is high range AC current (amps) the description says it measures AC current but doesn't say that the max AC amps it can test is 200mA or .2 amps, not really practical for ANY AC current measurments. You can measure the current of say a 20 watt AC light bulb with this meter. The PC you are using to read this draws about 3.5-4 AMPS or about 3500-4000 milli amps, this meter maxes out at 200 ma.

I bought it for AC amps but can't use it for that. I'll keep it as a back up meter but I have to buy a better meter for AC amps. I guess that's what I get for being a cheap skate... time to buy a Fluke!

Best Deals for INNOVA 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter

This little meter is outstanding! I own a Fluke DMM 179 and of course that meter is top of the line. But would you believe this Equus 3320 is 99% spot on with it's readings when compared to a recently calibrated Fluke 179!! I compared measurements with the Equus 3320 and the Fluke 179, in AC Voltage, DC Voltage, Resistance, and DC voltage for the Equus in the Battery test modes. It had literally almost identical readings to the Fluke! The circuit board appears to use mostly prime spec electrical components, so I suspect it will remain accurate for a long time as long as it's not abused.

This meter sells on Amazon for less than $20, and has auto ranging. This means instead of having to dial in the max value manually the meter figures out what DCV range to use (if you were measuring DC voltage for example). It's the same deal for other measurements like resistance, AC Voltage, etc, just set to that measurement type and the meter figures out the correct max range. Most auto ranging meters below $99 have slow auto ranging acquisition speed (this is the time it takes for the meter to figure out what range to use). Many of the cheaper auto ranging meters take several seconds to figure out the correct range and then display the measurement. Not the $19 Equus 3320, it was just as fast as the Fluke 179, which is a second or less in the voltage measurements, and under 2 seconds for resistance (resistance auto ranging takes slightly longer on all meters because the meter must send a small amount of current across the device under test first before trying to acquire the range).

The battery test function (which my Fluke 179 does not have) is the main reason I purchased this meter. The battery test goes beyond just measuring the voltage of the battery any cheap meter can do that all day long. The battery test function in the 3320 puts the battery under a current load (10 Milli amps for both 1.5v and 9v batteries) and then measures the voltage. This gives you a much better idea of if the battery is really good or not and will really perform in your devices. Some batteries on a bare voltage test show good voltage, but that good voltage will quickly drop to unusable levels once the battery is put under load. So testing batteries with a meter that has a battery test function is far superior to just checking it's voltage. This feature alone makes the $19 price for this meter well worth it!

As a few other reviewers have said, it can only measure 200 Milli Amps of current in AC (whereas DC can measure up to 10 Amps). Most other multimeters can measure 10 amps of DC or AC current. So if you are looking to measure any substantial AC current this is the wrong meter. In fact for any current measurements I recommend a current clamp like the ExTech 623 or ExTech 380942 since you can clamp right over a live insulated wire (while the circuit is operating) and take your measurement. With any standard multimeter (like the 3320) you have to wire it in line with the circuit first (with the circuit powered off) and then you can take your measurement. But if you are looking for a compact, accurate multimeter for your garage or home (where you will not need AC current measurements) then look no further you cannot beat the accuracy, auto ranging speed, and the price of the Equus 3320.

Honest reviews on INNOVA 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter

I use expensive fluke DMMs all of the time at work and was going to buy one for home use when my Sears DMM (that was pretty much a piece of junk, couldn't auto range, and eventually wouldn't shutoff) started annoying me. So, I chose a $129 Fluke meter then happened upon this meter. I figured what the heck for $25 and decided to order it. If you need a home meter that AUTORANGES (this is a big deal) and works, you really can't go wrong with this product. The autoranging is great, VDC, VAC, & continuity have tested fine thus far and I think the leads are like any other DMM I have used. This is a killer deal for $25.00.

I received the Equus multimeter about a month ago. I've used it very frequently at home checking batteries, home appliances etc..

Is accurate, the auto power off feature is very useful. You don't need any more for home use.

Review of Amzer Desktop Cradle with Extra Battery Charging Slot for Treo

I've given it four stars because it has worked flawlessly for that entire time, something that some of the other chargers apparently have failed to do. Most important, THE CHARGER PLUG STAYS IN THE TREO. Almost all of my other chargers fit too loosely over time, and charging becomes a challenge.

Handy slot for a second battery, too.

Two annoymances: there is no synch button, and the clear plastic stand which holds the unit up tends to pop out as you try to put the Treo in it. Not deal killers, but annoying.

I purchased these solar trickle chargers all winter. I park my trailer at the storage facility for the winter. My batteries always drain down to nothing. I got these so try and see if I could keep my batteries from draining down to nothing. I built a small little angled mount for them using wood so I could remove it when I was not using them. I put the unit on the roof and made sure my batteries were fully changed first. I left the solar panels on the top of the trailer. I checked the trailer twice a month I checked the trailer and the batteies stayed charged up all winter. Good little units. Will not charge your battey it will maintain a charge.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Since I have several ancillary devices connected to the car's (2007 Ford Taurus) electrical system, there is always a trickle load on the battery. There is a ham radio that uses backup power when off, a GPS that trickle charges even when fully charged, and a GPS receiver that runs 100% of the time. The load is not a lot, but I wouldn't leave this stuff connected for a week without driving the car. These devices do load the battery enough that on long cold winter nights, the battery starts drooping significantly. For this reason, I looked at the charger panel(s), and after reading the reviews decided they would work perfectly in minimizing the impact of all these extra devices sitting in standby all afternoon and overnight. The combination of using the panel all day while inside at work, and from 4 p.m. throughout the night has worked out very well.

I'm only using one panel, the other is for a gift.

A few notes to clear up some confusion that I noted while reading the reviews:

1. The maximum output of 350 ma at 14 volts (loaded) is NOT enough to damage any lead acid battery (car/motorcycle/lawn tractor). Yes, unloaded the panel will put out 22 volts. That means absolutely nothing. As long as it sees a 12 v battery as a load, its output will drop into the 14 plus range, which is EXACTLY what a 12v battery should be seeing from a charging circuit, so no regulator is required (or even desirable) when charging auto/motorcycle batteries.

2. The panel will not discharge a connected battery, period. There is a blocking diode in the panel's wiring that prevents current flowing from the battery to the panel. If your panel is discharging your battery, then the blocking diode has failed (it is shorted). One possible, and I'm afraid all too common reason for this failure is having the panel connected when you start your car. VERY BAD IDEA. The instructions clearly state that one should not have the panel connected while the car is running. If the panel is connected when the vehicle is starting, very large voltage spikes are present on the 12v line and the blocking diode in the panel sees these spikes and may not be rated to stand up to them. The result: the diode shorts, and this allows the battery to send current to the panel overnight....all night.

3. As far as charging smaller (lower capacity) 12v batteries or battery packs, some caution needs to be observed. Nickel Cadmium (NICAD) or Nickle Metal Hydride (NIMH) batteries can be safely charged on a continuous basis at a rate of 0.10 X AMP HOUR RATING of the battery. For example: a 12 volt battery pack made of 2500 maH rated batteries can be charged continually at 250 maH. An 1800 maH rated pack of cells can only be safely charged continually at 180 maH. Since these panels put out 350 ma, neither of these batteries can be safely charged on a continual basis. This is where the charge controllers come in to play.

CONSTRUCTION:

The panels are quite well constructed and arrived properly packed. The supplied wire length with cig plug pigtail was long enough to go from the back window to the front accessory plug. Since the panels were provided with 4 screws for mounting, I bought some 1/4 inch plywood (cut to 1/2 inch larger around than the panel by our local lumber yard), and screwed the panel onto the plywood with rubber grommets as spacers/shock absorbers. I also bought some "gripper" feet at the local Wally World (hardware section furniture slider area), and put them on the plywood bottom to help prevent it from sliding around. The panels are clearly labeled "this side down", so it is impossible to mount them the wrong way!

PERFORMANCE:

Since putting the panel on, the rate of decay of the battery in the face of the loading of my devices, has decreased markedly. I have a digital voltmeter on the system and can see that in the morning the battery voltage is not as low as it had been prior to putting on the panel. It won't charge a dead battery, it won't make up for a significant current drain on your car battery. It will prevent a dramatic sag in battery voltage as a result of your car's microprocessor and alarm system running all night, as well as take care of a few auxiliary devices in the battery backup mode (maintaining memory of channels, for example). If your vehicle needs to sit long periods of time without running, these panels are a perfect solution, as long as you have access to sunlight. I measured the panel output at 21 volts on a fully overcast, but bright skied day, sitting in the back window of my car.

CAVEAT:

I have one concern about these panels. On a 30 degree day in full sunlight the panel became surprisingly warm to the touch, considerably warmer than the dash I had it sitting on. I'm not sure how things are going to work or how I'm going to deal with how hot they may get in full sunlight on a 90 degree Iowa summer day. At this point, it appears I have a month or two to ponder this issue. It certainly makes no sense if you can't put a solar panel in your car, (because it might get damaaged by excessive heat), when it is sold as a car charger.

Summary:

For the price and my purpose, this panel appears to be an excellent solution. Properly used and mounted, and with certain precautions taken, I would recommend this panel to anyone needing a 12v TRICKLE charging solution, where a charge controller is not needed (lead acid car/motorcycle/lawn tractor batteries).

Pico 6380pt 50amp Batt Cable Connector Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I purchased 10 of these connectors so that I could make various adapters and extension cords to go between our on-board RV battery charger and the portable solar panels, wind / gas generator(s), and truck hitch connector when parked some distance from the trailer. A few of these are for spares and / or future additions to the setup. To keep line loses to a minimum, I used 10 gauge wiring and spent a lot time looking for a robust connector. Even though the most DC current I can put through them with my setup is 16 amps, the durability, wire size, and polarized connection were the key features for buying these. The Pico 50 amp connector has provided this functionality perfectly! As a very large added benefit, they are non gender connectors, meaning ALL cable ends have one of these and I can interconnect any adapter / extension cord combination that I want without ever getting into two of the same gender ends not connecting together situation! When connecting two together, there is a strong 'snap' interaction between them, leaving no doubt that they are connected securely. It does take some effort to pull them apart, but then again, that's exactly what I needed / wanted. So far these are holding up great in a RV-ing / camping environment. They have been rained on, stepped on, buried in dirt / mud, and connected / disconnected multiple times with no signs of wear. I highly recommend these! I ordered them Amazon, and they were delivered within a few days, Amazon rocks! BTW: the 10ga wiring I used is a 25 foot, heavy duty 10/3, 115VAC extension cord from the local hardware store that I cut the ends off of and re-terminated the bulk of the cable with the Pico connectors. That provides a durable, weather proof, flexible cable that is bright yellow to help prevent tripping over (and avoids being left behind because you didn't see it laying on the ground), and it was cheaper then buying 10/2 wire at $2+ per foot.

I haven't had a chance to use this yet, so I don't have any feedback on its use. However, I did want to be sure all you potential buyers read through the description more carefully than I did. Even though the description contains the word "Set," the set they refer to are the two metal contacts a set of contacts not a set of connectors. If you want to connect your wires to anything, you'll need to order TWO of these.

Best Deals for Pico 6380pt 50amp Batt Cable Connector

These things are super cool. They're built so that there's no male/female part, and as long as you put the positive wire in the hole that says "plus", they'll work. The retention mechanism for the connectors is firm, but you can disassemble afterwards if you need to do so. The connectors have holes drilled through the middle so you can bolt one side down to whatever, which would be handy in several situations.

I used these to handle the power connections for a sub box which I occasionally need to move from one car to another, or to remove for more luggage space. They work great for that, and handle plenty of power for a moderately sized amplifier. The same company makes some larger connectors if you need more current capacity.

The only drawback I saw was that these are kinda hard to crimp if you don't have a heavy duty battery cable crimp tool (the kind that you usually have to hit with a hammer). I soldered the connectors onto the end of some wire instead; note that it takes a pretty healthy soldering gun (not some puny soldering iron) to heat these up. You can fit 8 gauge wire into the terminals really well; I think 10-12 gauge would actually be a little small / loose.
