This is not much of a review other than to let folks know this device does not fit my new Samsung Rugby III. It is, however, the first one that comes up when you do an Amazon search for "Rugby 3 Micro USB Car Charger".

I should have read the product description much more closely. I had to send it back.

The product arrived promptly and in good condition.

I bought this in order to run the refrigerator and freezer during power outages and to run 120 volt gardening equipment (weed whacker, hedge clipper) without having to run a long extension cord. It is very difficult for me to start gas powered equipment and I need to take frequent breaks.

I get plenty of run time using my lawn tractor battery. For refrigeration, I parked a car outside the window, connected the inverter, and left the engine running. Plugging in the refrigerator (only 300 watts) tripped the low battery voltage protection, but I was able to reset and run the refrigerator.

Like virtually all inverters and some generators, it produces a "modified sine wave." Everything I have plugged in has worked, except for 2 UPS units. I use uninterruptable power supplies on my sattelite DVR and on my computer. Instead of just pulling the plug from the wall and plugging into the inverter, I had to unplug from the UPS and plug the units directly into the inverter.

The battery cables supplied seem flimsy. Ring terminals are used to attach to the inverter. The inverter's terminals are spaced close together, which could be a problem with heavier wire with larger terminals. I had to tape the wire and terminals because copper was showing and strain relief is needed.

You might think a generator would be a better choice, but it needs to be started periodically, fuel can go stale, and you need to guard against carbon monoxide. Manual starting is a problem for me, so an inverter is a better solution.

The bottom line: It does the job. When the power went out two days ago I was glad I had the inverter.

The man that did the first review (Allan Arthur) makes many great points. I use it strictly for convenience rather than fuss with a generator in bad weather, keeping it in good working order, etc. I can run everything I need for about 8-10 hours with two deep cycle batteries hooked in parallel. That may sound like a hassle all its own, and it was setting it up. I have the batteries hardwired together in my office out of sight. I have the inverter hardwired to the battery so when the power goes out all I have to do is run an extension cord to my living room where my computer and TV are and turn on the inverter. I can do that in two minutes. I also have a UPS, which gives me about 40 minutes before I even need to do that. Getting a generator up and running is going to take a lot longer than that.

Overall, this product is amazing for the price. You should look up the difference between modified sine wave and true sine wave if you have any specialty electronics that you need to back up. You would need to do that with a generator as well. True sine wave is going to set you back quite a bit. Modified sine wave works fine for most household electronics.

Great value if you don't run CFL loads off this one. In my setup, it was tripping randomly when connected to 4 23W CFL lamps. 2 other inverters I had did not so must be a problem with this unit. If you don't plan to run CFL lamps, it's a great product. I especially like that the fan shuts down automatically under no load...

Honest reviews on Power Bright PW900-12 Power Inverter 900 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110

I bought this to replace a B & D 400 watt inverter that has an irritating fan noise. The B & D fan would come on the minute you plugged anything into it.

This inverter has a bigger muffin fan that cycles on, then off when you switch on the inverter but then under the same load conditions that I had for the B & D never comes on again. It is higher and longer than the B&D and seems to keep cooler because the case is made of metal with cooling fins.

I am not using it under heavy loads yet but I can say that it is exactly what I was looking for. I am glad that it has twice the capacity of the B & D unit, even if I haven't needed it yet. Northern Tools sells an 800w unit that looks exactly like this but adds a USB charging port.

I picked up the Power Bright 900 inverter last week in advance of Hurricane Sandy. My basement floods and I wanted something simple to run the sump pump if the power failed. The power did fail, but fortunately my basement didn't flood. However, what I wound up with instead was almost worse...a house full of bored kids and dead electronics. I was able to hook the inverter up to my car with no problem whatsoever. Within a few minutes ipads, DS's, and laptops were charging. It ran all day without killing my car battery (albeit I did turn it on here and there to keep it charged) or overheating. I can't say anything dramatic like it saved my house, but it perhaps did save a little bit of my sanity. Not really a replacement for a full generator, but in a pinch it gets the job done.

This USB car charger looks great and also works great. I like the special design of small cylinders at the two sides of it because the friction with the power plug of the car is small and so help protects the power plug (My previous car chargers are all with some metal foils there). Totally worth the price.

Some time ago i felt the urgent need to own one of these foldable solar panels. This panel was meant to be one of my "zombie apocalypse is coming 2012"-gadgets for my "BOB" or "Get Home"-Bag. Better be prepared! To be honest: Neither am i a serious backpacker, nor a real survivalist, but i do collect knives and survival gear to just own it in case of an emergency, "catastrophes" or "terrorist attacks". Funny, huh?

For the review part: For whatever i want to purchase i do A LOT of investigation in advance (Youtube videos, (amazon) reviews, forums, blogs) and always want to spend my money on the ONE best option available. This only works in theory (at least for me...), in practice i nearly always end up in ordering two or more items, because i simply can't decide between them.

The solar panel was supposed to power a Galaxy Tab 7 (battery = 3,7v * 4000mah= 14,8wh), a HTC Desire HD (3,7v * 1230mah = 4,5wh), some portable USB Speakers ( unfolded!

I took my two panels, my USB stuff and a multimeter outside on a semicloudy day (which is pretty much "standard weather" where i live).

Both panels were lying flat on the ground, with no shadows and partly cloudy sky. Both panels delivered about 18V (sunlinq 17 and goal zero higher with 18-19V) with no load. When switching the multimeter to Amp measurement was when my jaw dropped. GZ: 0.04A and Sunlinq: 0,5A (* 12V). Tilting the GZ panel towards the (non visible) sun though increased output to 0,138A. Tilting the sunlinq towards the sun is tough, because its similar to truck canvas and folds together too easy. Did not improve output by much anyhow...

To make it short: Both panels fell short in delivering the necessary power for my needs and my weather conditions. The Sunlinq did perform better on this partly cloudy day, but still i needed the whole day to charge the Anker2! It might work for me, but most likely i will upgrade to a 20+ watt panel with CIGS cells.

What i liked about the nomad:

The formfactor when unfolded (folded it's quite a brick)

The looks (designed in the US)

Quality seemed alright (made in China)

What i disliked:

too bulky when folded (in comparison to the sunload panel)

danger of breaking (Manual says NOT to bend and NOT to walk on the panel because of the non flexible solarcells The sunlinq feels softer, more like a tarpaulin). That's propably why they throw in an empty pack in the commercial video.

I do not want to carry a multimeter all day, only to find the correct angle for this panel to perfom. That might be the reason why mono cells are installed on roofs with special calculated angles. This is where they perform best.

weight in comparison to the sunlinq / in relation to it's performance

4.7mm special connector (SAE on the Sunlinq is motorcycle standard)

Output of the USB out not clearly declared (GZ-Website says 5V and 0,5A, printing on panel says 5Watt bad transformation? or bad translation?). Did not even get the 0,5 out though, when it was cloudy.

The Sunlinq panel is technically identical to the Brunton, Motomaster, Me2 and Sunload panels , as there is only one company which builds/"prints" these CIGS cells ("global solar" in Tucson and Berlin). Differences are only connectorwise.

In a perfect world Goal Zero would use CIGS cells for their future products

Hope this helps (pretty time consuming as i am native german and have to think twice before i write sth. in english, but i benefit a lot from american reviews and thought i'd share a "kind of" objective review).

Update 6/16/12: Got myself 2 higher rated panels for comparison: The P3 with 30wp and the sunlinq 25wp ("sunlinq 5").

First impression:

The P3 is about 2-3 times thicker than the other sunlinqs (12wp and 25wp). Apart from that, there is no big difference (in performance) at all. The only difference technically is a much higher open circuit voltage for the p3 (28V!!!), which does require a (MPPT?) charge controller as an extra investment. So all in all it depends on whether you are willing to pay nearly double the price for a ridiculous amount of extra performance, a 2yr warranty and a military tag, or not.

If you are wondering whether or not to get this, go ahead and try it. This solar panel is one tough little cookie. I have this solar panel as part of the Goal Zero Sherpa 50 adventure kit. The panel folds up nicely and is easy to carry. I took it to Afghanistan with me this year, and it still works good. Sure, it has a few scratches on the panels here and there, but it hasn't affected its performance to date. This panel has fallen over due to wind onto my concrete porch floor and did not break. It even fell from my truck (4 feet) onto the driveway and survived!!

I can charge my Sherpa 50 watt battery in about 1 and 1/2 days with it.

GO ahead and buy it!!

Best Deals for Goal Zero 12401 Nomad 13.5M Solar Panel

I purchased this solar panel because of the size and power output. I was happy when I received it and then upset when it didn't have all the outputs listed. NO SOLAR OUTPUT 6.5

Product was listed as having this output (compatible with goal zero guide 10 plus battery chargers I also purchased) The product technical specs listed are for the Nomad 13, not the Nomad 13.5 (an older model). I contacted Goal Zero (who sells this) and Amazon (who lists this incorrect information) and informed them of the mistake. I had to send mine back and order the Nomad 13. Still waiting on a refund for the Nomad 13.5 I thought they would change the listing for this after I informed them of the mistake, but I see they haven't. Be aware at the time of this review the technical specs are still listed incorrectly. The only outputs on this is 12v and USB .5amp.

The Nomad 13 has:

USB 1 AMP

SOLAR OUTPUT

CHAIN CABLE

12V

The Nomad 13.5 has:

USB .5 AMP

CHAIN CABLE/12V

CHAIN INPUT

When I say chain I mean a cable to connect more than 1 panel together for shared power.

A final thought, I wish the 13.5 had worked, the 13 is only 2 panels and a little larger, the 13.5 is smaller.

Honest reviews on Goal Zero 12401 Nomad 13.5M Solar Panel

This is my third Goal Zero purchase and I was pleased and surprised to find that the output measure 20.1 watts when measured (without load) in direct September sunlight in southwest Missouri. I purchased this unit as a more powerful addition to the Nomad 7 which I use when backpacking to charge my cell phone and GPS. This unit has twice the panels of the Nomad 7, is still light weight and folds compactly for storage in my backpack. Like the Nomad 7, the Nomad 13.5M has grommets to attach it to the backpack to allow charging while on the move.

I did not see the connection to directly attach the Guide 10 or Guide 10 Plus battery packs that are the mainstay of the Nomad 7; but in addition to the standard USB port for general electronic device charging it does come with the plug to directly charge the Escape 150, a standard 12 V. auto plug connector, and a connection to chain connect other Goal Zero panels. I plan to contact Goal Zero to see what options are available to connect the Guide 10 battery packs to the Nomad 13.5M or to see if I've simply overlooked the obvious connection.

I haven't taken this panel into the woods yet but I have placed it on the dash and used it to charge my android via the USB and the 12 V car charger connection as I drive home from work. Everything I've looked at so far on this unit suggest that it charges at least twice as fast as the Nomad 7 which was my first Goal Zero purchase. I'm very pleased with all the Goal Zero products I've purchased to date.

I also have to say a good word about the customer support I received when my Escape 150 didn't perform to expectations after the first couple weeks of use. I sent an email to the support line and received a prompt response with some special instructions to reset the battery. The instructions worked great for the next charge but the problem came back a week later. A second email to the company letting them know that the problem had returned was all it took and they sent a replacement battery. No hassle, no arguments, and no waiting for the bad battery to be returned or shipping charges. Even though I was initially uneasy and concerned that I experienced a problem with the Escape 150 immediately after purchase the excellent customer support convinced me that this was a company that stands behind their products and that I could trust. As a result of this customer service I now own the Nomad 13.5 and the Goal Zero Boulder 15 solar panel in addition to my previous purchases.

I bought two of these panels as part of a backpacking / camping solar setup to charge my phone, iPod, GPS, laptop, etc. I also integrated these into an emergency power kit to charge a 12v Deep Cycle Marine battery to power my HAM radio.

So far, the panels have performed flawlessly; providing all the power I need to keep my mobile electronics and radio running completely free of the grid.

The panels are very compact and fold up neatly. They can be chained together and Goal-Zero makes a ton of different connectors and adaptors to ensure that you can recharge or power nearly anything you need.

Cheap Go Power! GP-SW3000-12 3000-Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Go Power! GP-SW3000-12 3000-Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This is a very nice quality Pure Sinewave inverter that runs everything I plug into it perfectly! There are only a few issues I that prevent me from making it 5 stars. These aren't a big deal for me personally, but might be a deal breaker for some, so read this before you buy.

The unit has automatic shut down features for low voltage (anything < 11.8V). This is a safety feature, and perfectly plausable from the mfg viewpoint, but it translates into the user needing a LOT of battery power to run a simple appliance for a short period of time. Also, DO NOT BUY DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES for this because they are designed to lose voltage quickly and provide current for an extended time. Putting deep cell batteries on this unit makes the problem much worse. I replaced them with regular tractor Lead Acid batteries, and they maintain a working voltage much longer. The problem is that you can't really drain your batteries even close to 3/4 charge before the unit shuts itself off... kind of a huge waste. It takes five 925 CCA LA batteries just to run my fridge overnight without tripping the inverter... and God forbid if it's cloudy the next day. So if you want to set and forget this unit, the auto shut off is really not for you.

They have another nice feature where you can set the unit to go into "stand by" mode which would theoretically solve the problem of the inverter itself draining all the battery power overnight. The problem is, however, that the once a second the unit turns on power, to sense load. Even though you can adjust the threshold at which the unit will wake from sleep, the momentary power applied to my appliances every second makes them all "beep" and the lowest setting (40W) is not low enough to keep the power ON long enough for me to activate the electronic controls on my washing machine... the unit kills the power before I can press "Start". It does seem to work OK for the fridge, but takes a second to light the bulbs when you open the door, and it's not enough to run the water and ice in door feature, which also is frustrating.

The answer for me is to install more and more batteries ($100 ea.) so you see the problem. If you want good mobile power on a job or camping site, there is nothing better, but if you want to run your home on solar power, this is not the unit for you unless you want to have 10 or more panels and 20 or more batteries... (>$5000 worth of stuff) and this unit is STILL under-powered for a whole house and only puts out 110v.

I will use this inverter as an emergency backup until I can afford the Aims 240V whole house inverter.

So in short, this device is great at what it does for camping or job sites but not for home solar unless you are running a small cabin on 110v only, and have many thousands of dollars to spend on batteries and panels.

I bought this battery taking a chance that the terminals would fit my FIOS. It works well; just take the old battery out, slide the protective covers of the terminals, and connect it to the FIOS receiver. I no longer get the low batter alarm, so I assume it is charging correctly and holding the charge, though I'll never know for sure unless there's a power outage. And CONSIDERABLY less expensive than buying the replacement from Verizon.

I have a Razor brand scooter that uses two of these for its 24V motor. The original battery lost its depth of charge and could only go about a half mile before it was depleted. With these, I get about 8 miles range on it. Fit and function compatible; this is a common de-facto standard battery size. Connections are 0.187" tabs of the same type found in automotive wiring. It arrived nearly fully-charged. It does not, however, appear to be a deep-discharge type, which to me is fine for a scooter which is mostly a toy, but for heavy-duty applications a more expensive deep-discharge type may be more suitable.

According to its data sheet (google Rhino SLA7-12 to find it), under heavy drain its capacity falls to 3.5 Ah, but those tabs are too small for high current anyhow. My scooter is probably about as high as one should go; the scooter's original battery connectors were soldered on, which probably helped the current rating a bit.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Can't say I expected this to actually be a Motorola product. That's the only thing that kept this from being a 5 star product (false advertising). Other than that, it works just fine. I am using it to charge my Droid Razr HD Maxx. The connections are snug, as they should be. Not difficult to plug it in, but not loose to where I'm worried it's going to fall out. The phone immediately recognizes the connection and charges just as well as the cable that came with the phone. The 6 feet length makes it great for bedside use, as I can have it charging while in bed and still use the phone. That extra 3 feet makes a huge difference. So if you need a long charging cable for a micro USB device, this will do the job. Have only used it for a few days so far, though, so I'll update this in the future to comment on the durability.

Update: My girlfriend and I have each had our cords for about 2 months now. So you can bet that me updating this so soon means bad news. About a week ago, she noticed her phone didn't charge well overnight (when using this cord). I thought she most likely had a loose connection when she plugged it in, either at the USB/base portion or the microUSB/phone connection. Then just last night, I noticed when I plugged my phone in to charge, the battery icon started "flashing" between charging/not charging, as if it was rapidly being plugged in and unplugged. Basically, this cord is shot. Other cords used with the same base charged just fine. We took a look at her cord and it did the same thing mine did. So...

This cord (TWO OF THEM!) lasted only 2 months before kicking the bucket. Though having a 6 foot cord is great (in my opinion), it's not worth the purchase if its only going to last 2 months. Would not buy again!

Needed to charge phone and for data connection to computer. Works like a charm. The added length is nice for charging. My husband has a USB wall-socket adapter he uses and the length makes it like a normal charging cord.

The BMW battery tender does just what it supposed to do. Keep the battery charged. I have a 750Li that is not driven as much as the everyday car, so I have been having some issues with low battery warning lights on my dash. Apparently these cars use a lot of power each time you open a door, or do some short drives, (less than 10 miles a day.) If the car sits for a few days the car's charging system does not have enough time to bring the battery up to full charge.

The battery tender is very easy to use and it charges the battery and then shuts itself off and monitors the battery condition. If the power in the battery should drop below a certain level, the chargeer kicks on and brings the battery back to full charge.

The only flaw is the alligator clips are somewhat small and have to be almost fully opened to find on the battery terminals under the hood. They could have made the clips a little larger.

But for the price, and the fact that it is a BMW approved battery charger, it keeps a BMW battery fully charged.

My 535 has had an annoying clock reset this past year because of 'weak battery warning'. It's only driven very little and the many electronics in this otherwise wonderful car has drained the battery. The limited driving was not enough to sufficiently keep it it fully charged. So enter this battery charger, worked wonderfully and fully charged my battery overnight...

I use this on my BMW, my gargen tractor and all my other 12V batteries. It's safe and it works fantastic...

Update: Almost three years later and it's still working perfectly. We're retired and as such our BMW doesn't get driven every day so it stays on the charger almost 100% of the time in between trips. When I take it off the car I usually just move it to my Troybilt garden tiller or garden tractor. A really great product that belongs in everybodys garage.

Honest reviews on BMW Genuine Factory OEM 82110406881 Advanced Battery Charging System

Apparently my driving style does not suit my 2008 BMW 535i. According to the dealer, I take too many short trips so the battery does not get a chance to fully recharge and gets degraded over time. They suggested a trickle charger so I purchased this product.

I connect it to the terminals under the hood as instructed and charge it overnight. It works well and keeps my battery happy.
