This is good if you need a 20a charger to recharge a battery fast and the ability to charge a small battery at 2a. However it's not good for keeping a battery at float charge. It has a feature to excercise (partially discharge) the battery at regular intervals. These intervals are too often and not deep enough (deep cycle Batt. needs a minimum of 10% discharge before regharge)I would recommend removing charger after charge and replacing once a mo. It would also have been nice if the display showed voltage and charge state at the same time. I wish I had just stayed with Schumacher chargers.
Well made well thought out spend the extra money in this class you wont regret it.

Best Deals for SOLAR PL2320 Pro-Logix 20 Amp Battery Charger
I research battery chargers extensively needing a real good one to maintain my 2 AGM house batteries on my RV during times I do not use it or if I run down the batteries too much for the RV built in charger/inverter to do the recharge job well. This was the best excluding the one that was similar that costs 3 times the price. Good quality longer lasting, higher amperage (200 and up) AGM batteries are so expensive (a pair of 6 volt ones hooked in series easily cost $500) that using a cheaper charger on them that is not temperature compensated is false economy.Honest reviews on SOLAR PL2320 Pro-Logix 20 Amp Battery Charger
I've had the chance to use the Solar PL2320 battery charger 4 times now, comparing it against my old standby Century 87105 2/10/55 amp battery charger. I like to Solar for the fact that it displays % of charge and charging voltage when charging and when not charging it shows the % of charge of and battery voltage. The charger is also nice in that there are 3 charging protocols: one for conventional flooded lead-acid batteries, one for Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) and one for Gel-type batteries. I frankly don't know what the differences are but I did notice that the % of charge noted for the battery I had it hooked up to changed when I cycled through the battery types on the charger. The overall charger is solid with cord wraps for both the charging cables and the power cables. Both sets of cables are approximately 5 feet in length. The charging process varies in time not only based on state of charge but also based on the charger's 'multi-phase' charging protocol. The charger doesn't simply apply a charge to the battery and shut off at 100%, it actually goes through a multi-step process that includes applying a load onto the battery reducing the state of charge slightly and then charges again. As I understand it, this helps with reducing sulfation. The charger is fan cooled and the fan, when running, is noticeable but isn't loud (maybe as loud as a computer fan). Overall a very good charger and in my opinion worth the money based on build quality, charge protocol sophistication and battery information provided.Sunday, June 8, 2014
Cheap GreatShield Flex Grip Lightweight Windshield Dashboard Universal

List Price: $24.99

(NOTE: This review was written 2 months after I bought it. Then updated 3 months after I bought it)
This is a great clip. I use it for my 5" navigator.
It has one arm of the clip side that is spring loaded. It can be a little difficult with mounting it one handed, but I do it. I take my device and push up the arm (spring loaded), then fit my device in, and then release. To take it out, you could just yank it out, but that will probably wear the rubber grips on the side.
The mount has a twist on for the bottom side suction cup. Typically for windshield mounting. You put the base toward your windshield or flat mounted base (provided), and then rotate the base to create a suction seal to hold it in place.
The mount that is provided is about the size of the circular base on the holster. Use this mount if you want to mount to a dash or some other location (not windshield) that is flat (or near flat), and will not be a good source for a suction cup mounting. Like dash boards with that vinyl coating on top.
The round plastic mount (what they are calling a pedestal) has a sticker on back, but it also has 3 tiny mounting holes, to screw it into place. It does not come with the mounting screws. Uses size 4 screws for this option. Use mounting screws with the sticker on back if you want to have more mounting strength than just the sticky back. (I don't trust sticky back products in the car. The high heat in summer always melts the glue away.) I used the 3 holes and screwed it into the dash, so you might be aware of that option.
The great thing is that the holster (as the picture shows) can go on and come off very easily with the twist of the base. The suction is released. The plastic mount (bracket) stays in place always. But this gives you the option to switch to mounting on windshield too.
It is very adjustable in angles. Rotates 0, 15, 30, 45, etc up to 360 degrees. (OK... maybe not exactly 15 degree increments, but it clicks to various angles). I haven't been moving it around much, so I'm not sure the wear and tear on the joints.
I don't have the dimension of the round mounting plate (pedestal), but it's about 2" in diameter. And about 1/16" thick.
For the price, I don't think you'll find a better product with this much flexibility. I certainly have enjoyed mine for the past 2 months.
---UPDATE-------OK... 3 months now, after I have it... and it's broken!
The little plastic (and I emphasize... plastic) arm that attaches to the rotating ball just snapped.
I understand why too. It takes the most stress when you need to move the holder around.
The rotating ball (that allows the clamp to rotate) has a tendency to get sticky and gets stuck in place.
The plastic arm then takes a large force to 'crack' the seal of the rotating ball.
And THIS WILL happen, when you need to change the angle of your device.
YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I'M NOT BUYING AGAIN. FOR THE PRICE OF 3 OF THESE, I'M SURE I'LL GET A BETTER LONGER LASTING ONE.
I DON'T NEED TO KEEP REPLACING EVERY 3 MONTHS!!!
The major problem was that within 2 to 3 weeks, the holder became "frozen" in position and could no longer be rotated or the angle changed. An attempt to change the angle (with only mild pressure) caused the holder to snap into two pieces, just below the ball joint.

I needed something cheap to mount my cellphone to the windshield. I have one of the biggest phone in the market, the Samsung Note which has a 5.3" screen on it. This unit is able to support my phone with no problem. It has a locking wheel that locks the mount to the windshield and it worked really well. It worked so well that I had trouble removing it the first time I tested it on the window.Honest reviews on GreatShield Flex Grip Lightweight Windshield Dashboard Universal

This unit was reasonably priced and delivered ontime however it is a bit too weak to hold the Galxy S3. When you hit a bump the phone spins around. Pretty iritating when you need to keep repositioning the phone as you are driving trying to check traffic conditions through google maps. In addition the arm that hold the device need some type of edge to hold in the phone better. The rubber that covers them onbt he inside does not hold the phone very well.Friday, May 23, 2014
Review of AC Adapter USB Wall Charger *Extended 6' FT Power Cable*
Garmin GPS AC ADAPTER WALL CHARGER WORKS VERY WELL. I use it all the time. I've been using it approx . One monthI bought this wall charger and a new battery for my garmin gps 765t. It has been a while ago but the charger did the job and the price was right and it is well made. After installing the new battery and charging, I put the gps in a drawer for a month or longer and the battery is still fully charged.

Review of Makita Silver Aluminum Hard Case
We use the Makita box to hold a credit card machine for a crafts business. The hard foam padding included with the box fits only a specific Makita tool, so I threw it away and fitted the credit card machine to the box using other foam. I feel that the credit card machine is now well protected from bumps and even drops.use this to hall around my small drill and power driver. holds both, extra batteries, sockets, and drill bit case. very good purchase for price. very happy.
Black & Decker Smart Battery Charger 25 Amp Fully Automatic With 75 Review
One reviewer said it was complicated. I agree the controls and labels are unintuitive. Not informative in a clear manner. But the operation is pretty simple. A few minutes reading the instructions make sit clear enough. A couple of uses and it all makes sense. This unit can check your alternator, tell you if a battery has an open or shorted cell. It can recondition batteries suffering from sulfanation. It will charge at 25 amps which is faster than many chargers. Plus it can put out 75 amps for a short time to give a quick boost. All in all a good charger for many purposes. I will deduct one star for the non-intuitive design which easily could have been made a non-issue.
However, I soon found that I had gotten very lucky for $40. This tool seems fool-proof (I should know) and does seem to be pretty automatic as stated. As soon as the battery is charged it will reduce the charging amperage on its own. I have not even used all the options yet, but the battery reconditioning function is pretty cool--I've saved one so far that I would have otherwise replaced. Also, the cable storage makes it nice and tidy on the shelf. Remember that to perform a jump-start a car, though, it will only perform the task a few times, then needs four or five minutes to 'recharge' in order to do the jump-start again.
Conclusion: This charger has a few flaws. But money being no obstacle I'm still going to get another one and my batteries increased longevity compels me to give it a full five stars

I live on a boat at sea. I've used this charger at least 2,000 times. (Powered by Honda generator) Around the first year the fan went out so I put a cheep fan blowing on it (I think my not having a good "ground" is the culprit fore the fan failure). Around the 4th year the "Charge rate" button became difficult to press so I use a rubber coated piece of something to press that button. After 4+ years of that I fear I may be breaking that button. I have a spare "cave-man" charger, but this charger seems to double the life expectancy of my batteries. (They cost 3X what the charger dose easy.) So now it's been more than 8 years and my fear that button may break compels me to buy a new one (I've owned a dozen different chargers and this one has already lasted many times longer the all the others.)Conclusion: This charger has a few flaws. But money being no obstacle I'm still going to get another one and my batteries increased longevity compels me to give it a full five stars

Good product. I've used the air pump several times, the hose and connector are more than adequate. The battery charge indicator works great. Having to use an extension cord to charge this product is a minor inconvience. Charging took 2 hours the first time and when I needed to jump my battery 3 days later, I had no problems. And my kids love the USB port, so they can charge their I-Pods while we are camping.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Black & Decker Smart Battery Charger 25 Amp Fully Automatic With 75
This does NOT have an Air Compressor as stated on the Amazon page. And even if it did I would still return it as it is very complicated. The user manual is a nightmare. There is no easy quick start instructions. Perhaps this is appropriate for a Profession car mechanic. Nothing easy or intuitive about the unit or the manual. This is likely a quality product from B&D, but seems like a collage class is necessary to use the damn thing. I plugged it in, I got a bunch of flashing lights, beeping, and codes on the LED screen. Forget it.Saturday, May 10, 2014

Goal Zero 14002 Guardian Silver 12V Charge Controller Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $49.99

Today's Bonus: 25% Off

If you have any of the Goal Zero Solar Panels you will need this controller to charge any 12 Volt batteries that are NOT built by Goal Zero (per the "NONE-Goal Zero Batteries" in the subject title). The 12 Volt Battery list includes: Home/Business Security backup batteries; Basement Watchdog (sump pump) batteries; AGM Batteries; Flooded batteries, etc.
Note that the maximum input wattage (from the banked Solar Panels) to this charger is really 90 Watts and not the 150 watts that is misprinted on some Goal Zero brochures. This means that, for example, the controller can handle three (3) Goal Zero 22003 Escape 30M Solar Panel Briefcase at one time. My review on the Panel Briefcase (and other Goal Zero products) is found elsewhere on these Amazon pages. (As a side note, Before knowing about the printing error, I have successfully charged batteries using four Briefcase Solar Panels without any problems, but do not recommend doing so for an extended period of time.)
This unit is compact enough and self-contained to include in your Go Bag, too. I recently purchased a second unit. REDUNDANCY is important in critical asset management--except for when it comes to a wife.

I have about 550 watts of PV power & I had been using an old-style charge controller for the batteries. It did not have PWM or anything fancy, just a relay that would open at a certain voltage. The mornigstar is obviously a HUGE step up and it was worth every penny. Have stretched another year out of my batteries which I didn't think was possible the way they were behaving before. I just bought the remote temp sensor accesory (from solarpenny.com) and got it hooked up just before it got really cold out (my batteries are in steel boxes outside) They are fully charged & ready to go when I get home from work. I bought the 60amp model and plan to add a couple more panels in the future when I can afford. Great unit, good installation instructons and thorough technical specs included to help build a reliable system.

The TS60 has a big problem when used in parallel on a 24V system one of the units will commonly fail to change out of float mode into charge mode, thereby depriving the battery bank of its needed charge. I have returned 3 units under warranty due to this problem. MS techs can offer no solutions, and the replacement units are malfunctioning i the same capacity. I am needing to change to a more reliable controller.
