Honest reviews on HTC T-Mobile G2 Car Charger

This charger actually works and works well. I usually get so frustrated at the poor quality of car chargers, even the ones you buy from the cell phone manufacturers themselves! Not this one. I am so happy at how consistently well this product performs. I like that it has a blue light to indicate a proper connection and the light isn't too bright or small! Makes for a great car accessory. Thank you for finally making something that work for me!

I bought this vest to be seen while running in the dark, early morning hours here in the PacNW. When I first put it on and turned on the lights, my 5 year-old exclaimed with all the innocent admiration of a 5 year-old, "Mom! You look like a Christmas Tree!" This vest is so bright, it lights up the reflective street signs ahead of me. I figure if I get hit while wearing this vest, the driver meant to hit me, and my family can sue big time. I hope that it might also frighten away any of the larger wildlife that are resident in the area. On the down side, it is a little stiff, and for my small frame (size 6) a little large, even with everything in as snug as it can go. I had to sew the overlap at the sides in place so it would stay without flapping around. It took a couple of runs to get used to wearing it, but now it doesn't bother me. Anyway, it does the job very well--worth the money I spent, and I don't feel nervous about getting hit along the dark, rural roadways I run along.

I bought this vest because I like to run and I tend to do so after dark. Not only is it effective in letting drivers know where you are, it alse serves are a decent lantern if it is completely dark and you need to see where you're going so you don't twist an ankle.

The only issue I have with it is that it is a little bulky if you have a smaller frame. Also, while it is light weight, it's not weightless. It won't slow you down but it does take some getting used to if you are used to running unhindered.

Having such effective reflective gear is worth any damper this would put on your workout. Also, you can use it while Trick-or-Treating with the kids if they'll be seen with you. Your coolness level will take a serious dip when you are running around with the dorky flashing reflector vest, but hey, are you try to get a workout or be a fashion plate? Get over it and get on the road!

I ride my bike early in the morning to catch a bus to get to work. There is one stretch of road that has no bike lanes, and no lights. Before wearing this vest the cars would go around me like they do in daylight. After putting on the vest, the cars started going clear across the white line to clear me.

There is no way the drivers can miss you.

Pros: It works with AA rechargeable batteries.

Choose NAVY BLUE and get a size MEDIUM.

Led's are VERY BRIGHT and yellow tape is very reflective.

Cons: NO ON-OFF Switch beneath the yellow rubber button so it's on all the time.I had to cut the black wire and install my own switch.The wires emerge beneath the clip which puts stress on them when clipping on and off to change batteries.

This is a splendid product.

Our apartment complex consists of several buildings off of a main street in suburban Boston: the primary route through the complex is one way. Resultantly, folks often proceed a little too quickly 'round the loop to get to their parking spaces.

This vest has proven quite useful, as I note folks moving considerably slower around my dog and me when I'm flashing probably something not too many folks have seen. After a week or two of use, they're more used to it, though the slow driving continues. (Note: The lights may flash or be steady-lit.)

The material is pretty resilient, and there is Velcro for variations in size and fit. Someone both clumsy and bulky might find a way to rip the seems: it's not put together for a moonwalk. Additionally, the battery pack could be a bit more securely connected to its cabling. But if you're reasonably careful, there'll be no problems...

Although it might look like overkill, I find it very useful: I do believe it increases the safety of me and whoever is with me while walking.

References for size (I use its smallest configuration): 5'8" @ 130lbs with std leather jacket waist 30"; with heavy winter coat I'm now using: "waist" @ 36" and there's plenty of room to expand further with the Velcro.

Enjoy!

This device solves the problem of running electrical appliances through your auto cigarette lighter when their amperage exceeds the fuse on your lighter. Your cigarette lighter runs through a fuse with a specific amperage. Exceed the amperage -blow a fuse. Use a higher amperage fuse -risk melting the delicate wires and shorting out your car's electrical system. The heavy-duty tire air pump I bought kept blowing fuses until I bought this device that works as promised.

The clips are (just barely) big enough to grab the battery terminals. The plastic wraps around the clip handles that prevent the battery from shocking you are cheap and thin and should be reinforced with electrical tape. That done, it works well (and for prolonged use keep the car running to avoid draining the battery).

Everything in the pouch is better than I anticipated. Having gone to the Apple store a few times looking for accessories I was skeptical that this many items could actually work for the price I paid. Even if it turns out that only the silicon cases and the flip cover case are the parts I use, it is totally worth what I paid for it. Silicon cases at the Apple store run about $25 and here I have 2 that seem to be decent quality and are in normal colors (black and whitish). I'm most thrilled with the flip top case because I did not originally think that type of case would work for me. Now that I'm carrying the iPod touch in my purse, it is nice to have a protection for the screen in addition to the anti-glare screen protector I bought at the Apple store. If I was not so thrilled with the cases and only had the data cable I might have given this only 3 stars. I am worried that the electrical components won't be good enough b/c they are not apple products and apple may actually have filters on what they sell. I decided to try the wall charger and USB cable anyway and it seemed to charge just fine. The only trouble is the hook on the right side of the part that slides into the iPod touch. Whereas Apple's data cable has a bump, this piece has a hook. The hook gets caught and I'm afraid it may damage that port. Yes there are buttons on the sides to retract the hooks, but the button on the right side does not work. So I may have to find a file and file down the hook if I plan to use the data cable again. At least all of the items in this package are for the iPod touch unlike the other bundle that I bought. I also bought a different bundle and it had regular iPod accessories and iPod touch accessoriesthe regular iPod accessories will be useless for me at the moment. This purchase was worth every pennyeven the shipping. Usually I only buy Prime stuff, but made an exception b/c the price + shipping seemed very reasonable.

Buy Instapark® NEW All Black 5W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel with 12V

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $79.90
Sale Price: $32.75
Today's Bonus: 59% Off

SOLAR PANEL: This panel is very well made, reliable, and seems quite weatherproof. It puts out the full 5 watts in bright sunlight. I put some silicone caulk where the wire exits the back of the panel, just to be safe.

CHARGE CONTROLLER: The housing is definitely not weatherproof, but it does work properly. Some reviewers reported rusted connectors. Mine arrived without any rust. I created a battery box for an electric fence. The solar panel is mounted on top of the box, and the solar charge controller is inside the box with the battery and the fence energizer (protected from weather).

Don't use it with a large panel (as one reviewer did), because it's only designed to take a small current. It is rated for only 3 amps. 3 amps x 12 volts = 36 watts. So ... don't hook up more than 36 watts of 12-volt solar panels to this charger.

Another reviewer said the charger allows the battery to discharge into the solar panel at night. That's not really true. I did many tests and figured out what is going on. There is a green "Power" LED light on the charge controller. That light is on whenever it is connected to the battery. That light draws about 5 milli-amps from the battery at night, which is negligible. During the day, the solar panel powers the green LED.

So ... when the solar panel gets no power from the sun, electricity flows from the battery to the green LED. But that is the only draw on the battery. I tested it, and there is no current flowing into the solar panel from the battery. The 5 milli-amp draw is minimal, and really has no effect on the battery at all. Consider that during bright sunlight, the panel pours about 400+ milli-amps into the battery. Even that amount is just considered a "trickle" charge.

I put a blocking diode (1N4001) between the battery and the charge controller, which even blocks the 5 milli-amp discharge at night. Now the green "Power" light only comes on when the panel gets light.

I also verified that the charge controller stops charging the batter when it reaches about 13 volts. That protects the battery from being over-charged.

Hope this helps.

This solar panel combo is a solar panel plus a charge controller plus clamps all preassembled and ready to go. Set it out in the sun, attach the clamps to a meter, and you should get what I got 20V at .3 amps. My panel came in good condition inside a solid cardboard box within another box. Your mileage may vary. I am pleased with the construction overall, but it does not look overly rugged. You won't want to casually toss it around too much, but it should mount nicely to a solid surface. The aluminum frame has mounting holes on the back, but the clearance is very limited.

I have a Brunton foldable solar panel that cost ten times as much and only puts out 3 times the amps (same voltage).

I will be buying a larger Instapark product in the future. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Best Deals for Instapark® NEW All Black 5W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel with 12V

This is a pretty good little solar panel. I bout this to keep the battery on my camper topped off while not being used.

The Good: Panel performs as expected. In full bright sun I measured around 350mA at about 20V (7 Watts!) The size is nice and small (about the size of a sheet of paper) as compared to the amorphous panels which are much larger for the same wattage. The cable from the panel's junction box to the charge controller is nice and long.

Th Not So Good: The cover for the junction box on the back doesn't quite seal all the way around on mine. I put a small bead of caulk around it. Also the charge controller does NOT appear weatherproof. As a matter of fact it has a USB port on the side of it that is not sealed. My solution was to encase it in a weatherproof electrical box and run the wires out from there. Also, the clamps are small. Finally, the thickness of the frame is very small which makes mounting with the moutning holes challenging.

Overall though, I like this panel and would buy it again.

Honest reviews on Instapark® NEW All Black 5W Mono-crystalline Solar Panel with 12V

Appears to be very well made and a good value for the price except for the clamps. The clamps are too small for the products intended use and tinny. I easily destroyed one of the clamps when trying to grip the 12v battery pole. I cut the original clamps off and replaced them with the appropriate clamps I purchased at Radio Shack.

Solar panel looks great, except its the wrong one (2 oval solar tabs vs the rectangular tabs displayed in the picture). The back of the housing says 22V instead of 12V . I'll test out the amps as soon as I get a new fuse for my multimeter to see if its actually putting out 5 watts.

The charge controller on the other hand, obviously came overseas from China by boat. The small Ziploc bag it came in had a substantial amount of rust in it. The 6 terminals on the controller are completely rusted, and reduced the voltage from 11.3V to 2.1V after connecting it. I'll need to do some serious cleaning to get the rust off and see if its salvageable, but I would suggest ordering the panel without the charge controller, its not worth the $12 price difference.

Edit: I spent about 30 minutes cleaning the terminals (Put them over the tip of some pliers and scraped the rust off with a box cutter). Im now getting 21.5 volts straight from the panel, and 20.0 after connected to the charge controller. I talked to our electrical engineer at work and found out solar panels dont put out any amps on their own ("You need resistance to have amps"), but after connecting the panel to a battery, I was getting 20V at .19 amps, or 3.8 watts. He also said if the controller is doing its job, the 22V panel shouldnt fry the 12V battery during charging.

IMPRESSION BASED ON EXPERIENCE:

This is my second pair of Motorola 2-Way radios. I have tried other bands like Midland and been very disappointed, but Motorola has never let me down. I needed two extra radios for a fishing trip to Colorado so that my father, my brother, my son and I could stay in touch. I was amazed at how good these radios did in the mountains. At one point I was over three miles away from my father on the other side of a mountain and we could still talk clearly. Now I know 3 miles in not as far as the 23 miles range that is claimed these radios can reach, but if you know anything about how these radios transmit, then you know that for it to transmit clearly through 3 miles of solid mountain is close to a miracle. I have a pair of Midland G-300 Two Way Radios that claim a 10 mild range that cannot even reach 1/2 a mile through forest on straight level ground. I was also impressed with the battery life. Even after a long day of heavy use these units had plenty of power left. One was left on over night after being used all day and it still had power the next day.

Since I want this review to be helpful to people people wanting to buy these, I want to make something clear. The range claim that any 2-way radio manufacturer makes, is base on optimum conditions with no structural or atmospheric interference. In real life you can never expect to get those kinds of ranges out of any unit. Due to the curvature of the earth I would not expect that any radio could reach farther then 10 miles under normal conditions unless each radio is located in an elevated position with a valley in between, such as on either side of the Grand Canyon. So when you buy a 2-way radio, don't pay much attention to the range claims that are made. Just make sure that they will do what you need them to and don't expect a miracle that deifies the laws of physics.

PROS:

Motorola quality, great range and battery life.

CONS:

None that I can find.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

If you are looking for a good pair of 2-way radios for hiking, camping, fishing or similar, look no farther. If you are looking for 2-way radios for some sort of specialized professional use or something else these may or may not be what you are looking for.

I bought 2 pair of these radios as well as 3 pair of the MR355s. They cost $20 less, so I could get about 3 pair of these for 2 pair of the MR355s. I distributed them to my supervisors, vehicle operators and field engineers in our open area shipyard.

The reception is fine, although you do notice the clearer sound and slightly longer range of the MR355s (I'm talking only a couple hundred yards longer).

The unit uses the supplied NiMH battery pack or 3 AAA's. Of course, AA's batteries like the ones used in the MR355 would have more power and last longer, but then, the MR355 has more features (like vibrate and an LED flashlight) that use up more power. Anyway, I knew the compromises when I got the units.

However, I wasn't ready for the MH230 to show 2 bars on the battery icon and yet the display wasn't functioning clearly. Some of the LCD lines were very faint or could only be seen at an extreme angle. For instance, the 8 looked like a 9 bcs the left lower LCD bar wouldn't light up. After trying out the features, I fully charged the battery. Wouldn't you know it, at full charge, all the LCD's work. At partial charge (or discharge, as you like it) some of the LCD bars would fade out. This happened with all 4 MH230 radios and didn't happen with any of the MR355s, even as the more expensive radio's would run out of juice. NOTE to Giant Electronics, fix this issue! You're ruining Motorola's rep.

Anyway, we use the MH230 in thick steel crane and payloader cabins, talking to people in the office 700 yards away with a couple 30 foot tall cargo ships and a few dozen welders doing their thing in between. The sound is mostly clear and everyone gets heard. The users wish they had the PTT earbuds that come with the more expensive units, but hey, you get the bright yellow ones, be happy!

The guys who crawl around inside the steel hulls get the MR355s with the PTT, vibra and lights. They're happy too.

4 stars for the unit performance, minus 1 star bcs of the LCD problems at half batt.

Can't complain I'm not getting the 23 mile range, or they would owe me stars. BTW, many 25 Watt vehicle or base station radios with 36 inch antennas won't get 23 miles, so don't expect these reach that far.

Honest reviews on Motorola MH230R 23-Mile Range 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio

I'll admit that when I came across these 2 way radios when just browsing electronics one day, I had no intention of buying any. Though my son and I hunt and fish where we occasionally get separated, we always have cell phones along for keeping in touch. Upon closer examination however I was intrigued by the fact that this pair of radios (as well as several other ones within this price range and higher) carry all 7 NOAA weather channels. They are essentially a two way communicator that is a full fledged weather radio as well. This may not sound all that significant unless you happen to own, or are interested in owning a small portable hand held weather radio like some available here on Amazon. The single portable walkie talkie size weather radios on Amazon that don't do anything else but receive weather, are far more expensive per unit than buying two of these two way radios. Simply put, these radios are literally two for the price of one when comparing them to other hand held weather receivers here. Not only do you get two walkie talki/weather radios, but you also get a holder/charging unit that keeps them fully charged and ready for action at all times. They also carry the same alert option that other NOAA weather radios have so you can be advised of dangerous weather in your home, or wherever you happen to take them. I don't really believe that I would recommend these radios solely for the purpose of weather radios if one could honestly say they would never have any use for a two way radio. However it just so happens that when you own a pair of these you would be surprised how often you do find a situation where they come in fun and handy. When my son and I go out in the wilderness now we take these along in addition to the cell phones. They are very loud and clear and never lose a signal like cell phones do. When I am not using them for communication, I keep one on the local NOAA weather station and are continuously informed of the latest weather and advisories 24 hours a day. They get excellent weather reception and besides, there's two of them. When for whatever reason one dies or has an accident, there is an instant replacement ready to take its place. Whether you are considering these radios for two way communication, or just for their weather feature, I highly recommend them. As two way radios go they are very reliable and have an excellent range. And as for the weather radio feature, they are one of the best bargains around... PS: If you are interested in an even cheaper pair of two way radios with the weather feature, check out the Cobra model at the link enclosed. These Cobra radios have a shorter range as walkie talkies but are the very cheapest pair of two way radios with weather that I could find on Amazon. Just $25 a pair as of this review.

Just installed these on my Road King. The brackets for the speakers fit under the nut for the mirrors making the installation very quick and the look very integrated. The power is plug and play and fits right into the Harley harness under the seat. I easily screwed the amplifier on the frame behind the front wheel for maximum airflow. Everything hides nicely under the nacelle and no wiring is noticeable. The speakers sound great for such little things and nothing else is really needed, but I also installed a 6" sub woofer which totally fills out the sound.

However, a couple of things could be better. The universal mp3 player bracket is not worth risking using for anything, get a bracket that holds your phone/mp3 player. Don't even mess with the volume control, it distorts the sound and crackles. Better to use the volume on your mp3 player and plug the system directly in. The USB port isn't well enough isolated so it cannot be used on my iphone while playing music (too much crackles and distortion), however it works on it's own and charges fine.

These are loud enough on their own for most driving, but if you have loud pipes, a sub woofer or an extra set of speakers is not going to hurt.

After installing the amp and all the wiring on the bike, I finally got around to putting the speakers on. When I opened the package I found that one of the speakers was broken inside the housing. (The magnet had seperated from the speaker cone) Just try and get a replacement from Lanzar. It is IMPOSSIBLE. I was told to send back the defective speaker which I did, FedEx tried three times to deliver it to the Lanzar Service Department and ALL three times they could not get anybody to accept the delivery. Now the package is sitting somewhere in New York's FedEx facility. This was a big mistake and I hope that none of you make the same one.I know for the price it can be an attractive way to add tunes to your motorcycle but trust me when I say, reasearch before you buy. I found a domestic product that put this to shame for 20 bucks more. Good Luck.

Honest reviews on Lanzar OPTIMC90 Opti Drive 700 Watts Motorcycle/ATV/Snowmobile

Well... I received my package today and I was very concerned when it arrived in a Subway dinner cardboard box... But I was happy to see that the inside contained a new package with the item in it. I am all for recycling, but I expected a new item to be NEW in the box (even the shipping box).

The item is VERY durable... Nice heavy metal chrome on all the parts including the USB charging port. The HUGE circuit board on the USB line is a pain though, kinda made threading that wire around the gas tank a pain... But overall I was very impressed.

My neighbor has a fully stocked garage with every tool a man could dream of... And we started around 830PM and finished around midnight (3.5) hours. The install was on an 09 Vstar, removed the gas tank and some other items and got to work.

I LOVED the fact that the amplifier could be mounted on the outside frame of the bike (weather proof) and that I didn't have to find a dry place for it. Because my glove box is already full of electronics for the flashing rear brake lights, etc.

The handle bar mounts for the speakers were a bit tricky to get the screw started... But other than that, I would recommend this item to anyone who can solder some wires and turn a screw driver.

In closing...

I was VERY VERY VERY impressed with the hardware that came with it. VERY heavy duty metal and a nice chrome finish.

The sound??? For 3.5 inch speakers they are ok, but I would have liked more bass.

Overall.. For 130 bucks... I think it is a worth while investment!

Time will tell since I ride all winter, in rain, etc.

Updates to this review resulted in 4 1/2 stars being taken town to 3.

Things to note:

1 Speakers MUST be pointed DIRECTLY at you to hear it at highway speeds (65MPH) and even then you really can't "listen" to the music, you can only "hear" it. Can't understand the words, just hear the noise.

2 Speaks came with some decative Lanzar black rubber/plastic thing down the side. 4 hours of sitting in the sun and the glue became weak and it started to pop off.

3 USB plug doesn't have a noise filter on it, or if it does... It's not good. Can't keep USB plugged into my Sony MP3 player while bike is running. Tons of noise, pops, etc. Must inplug it when using it.

4 USB Socket (chrome) one that comes with unit... Make sure you don't mount it where wind can hit it... Your USB plug will fall out while in motion. Having a tighter fit or rubber to hold it in place would have been nice.

NOTE: If you have FACTORY PIPES... I am sure the stereo would sound great at highway speeds. But almost everyone runs modified pipes, cuz loud pipes save lives.

The unit arrived on time. I installed the unit speakers and ran my wiring. All wiring tested perfectly prior to first test. When I turned it on for the first time, I did not get very good sound. I was using my Smart Phone for my source of music. I tried 2 other devices, an pod and Sansa MP3 player. All had offered the same poor quality and static. As I disconnected the Sansa, I noticed the sound got better if the input jack was not all the way in. I tested the 1/8" jack from the unit and found that the ground connection was on completely grounded. Of the left and right leads only one was getting signal, the other was completely dead.

I understand quality control can sometime miss somethings. However, I have emailed technical support twice and had no response.

Charges fast. Wish it had some sort of LED to indicate it being powered on. Much better than your standard coiled car charger.

Works fine in the car. I have only used it twice, but it seems to charge fast. I will need to use it more to cement that thought, but at this time I think it is worth purchasing.

It is an actual Samsung product.

I recently fractured my wrist in 4 places which ended up requiring 3 surgeries...one of which included inserting a metal plate. During the winter the plate got so cold it was nearly unbearable to stand which limited my mobility. That was until I purchased this heat wrap. It provided me with enough warmth to my wrist which in turn enabled me to be pain free as well as made my wrist more mobile. Due to complications the plate then had to be removed and arthritis set in quickly. Thankfully, I had the heat wrap as it continues to help me get thru the cold and the increasing stiffness.
