Review of Sirius SR4000 Orbiter Receiver Satellite Radio

Customer Ratings:

This is one of the older (to my knowledge) Sirius units. I've had mine 3+ years. They are bigger and clunkier than many of the new models, but to me with the larger display and button size it is far easier to use and preferable. I have 5 of these in my family and have not had trouble with any of them. Mine is used in my car on my daily commute and then taken into the office to be used all day in the compatible boombox. I've looked at the new ones and while they do appear a bit more slick and sophisticated, I've decided for now I'll keep what works very well for me. FYI In two of our cars, I have the unit hidden out of sight in the center console with the antenna on the rear deck inside the car and it works well if you make certain the antenna has a good view of the sky. To me the trade off of a possible very slight degradation of performance is more than offset by the convenience of a totally inside the vehicle installation.

Best Deals for RENOGY 100 Watt 100w Monocrystalline Photovoltaic PV Solar Panel

I have to say that I am impressed. The item came in and from the start we could tell it was solid build quality and already had MC4 pigtails ready to go.

On the first morning the sun had not even broke the horizon when I noticed the pretty blue light on my charge controller telling me the battery in my camper was charging. I thought to myself, this couldn't be, the suns not over the horizon yet.

Around mid-day I decided to check and see how many amps I was getting out of this panel. WOW... is exactly what I said when it read 6.43 amps on a nice bright sunny day.

It's been a couple of weeks not and this panel recharges the batteries in my camper every single day in sun, clouds and rain.

I will be ordering another one soon.

Yes, I would greatly suggest you purchase this panel if you are considering solar.

Honest reviews on RENOGY 100 Watt 100w Monocrystalline Photovoltaic PV Solar Panel

This solar panel is awesome, right now it is charging a 4 deep cycle bank of batteries in our 35 ft travel trailer, with a 2000 wt inverter we run just about everything off of solar power, I am planning on buying another 100 watt panel and a couple more batteries so we can charge the batteries a bit faster (though it takes hardly any time at all now with one 4hrs tops) to run the air conditioner. It was easy to install and with a bit of research on youtube on how to install in an RV you don't have to deal with generator noise.....only the frogs and crickets. I am very pleased. :) I think I will install them on the house next and the electric company can KMA. :)

I'd been looking at solar panels for at least a couple of years but never saw anything that I considered reasonable for the price. Then I saw this one. At first, I hesitated because I couldn't believe that a 100-watt panel that was about $50 cheaper than any other I'd seen could be all that good. But, based on the reviews here, I crossed my fingers and took the plunge. I'm really glad I did.

I bought this to use for extended camping trips. I made some folding legs out of angle aluminum, hooked it to a Sunforce 60031 10 Amp Digital Charge Controller and a Power Sonic PS12350 12 Volt 35 aH Sealed Lead Acid Battery and, during a 5-day trip which included a couple of very overcast and scattered rain days, I never had an issue with low voltage. I didn't carry a meter to read the amps, but the blue charge light on the controller stayed lit even under overcast skies and the voltage reading on the meter never dropped much below 12 volts.

The battery was used to charge and run a laptop, an mp3 player, a Logitech S715i Portable 30-Pin iPod/iPhone Speaker Dock (ALL day long and half the night), and to run a mattress inflator, a fan and a couple of LED lights at night. (Yes, I rough it fairly smoothly!) I also charged a few smart phones for the people in my group. I never had anything drop out due to low voltage and, since the last day of the trip was sunny, I came home with a fully charged battery.

I'm impressed with the build quality. Since someone else mentioned an out of square frame in their review, I checked mine. It's square and very solidly built. There are no sloppy solder connections between the cells and the connector box on the back is well sealed. The cables and MC4 connectors are also solidly built. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase. I used to lug a 70 pound deep cycle out to the woods. Now it's a 22 pound battery and a solar setup that weighs about 19 pounds stand, cables and controller included. If you're on the fence about whether or not to buy this panel, I'll say stop thinking and go for it!

Cheap New Trent (1PC) 15W 5V@3.1A Dual high-speed USB port car charger w

Customer Ratings:

Summary:

The product I received was not able to supply the advertised current with the supplied USB cable or any other USB cable. The supplied USB cable would never be able to supply >500mA regardless of the charger, AC or USB. I needed to modify the 2.1A port in able to draw the advertised current. I needed to modify a USB cable to draw the advertised current from the non-modified 1A port.

Detailed Description:

Out of the box, this charger will not provide the advertised 2.1A or 1A to your USB device. I used my HTC Rezound android phone and the Battery Monitor app to see two things: 1) The charge mode when plugged into each USB port, and 2) The amount of current being sourced to the phone.

1) The phone only recognized the "USB" charge mode, and not "AC" charge mode. In the "USB" charge mode, the phone will limit itself to 500mA only. In "AC" charge mode, the phone will remove the 500mA restriction and take as much power as it can handle. I used both the supplied USB cable and ones that came with AC adapters that when plugged in, indicate "AC" charging. There was no USB cable that I tried that allowed AC charging from this product.

After some research, I found that the 2 inner pins (data +, data -) on the physical USB connector need to be shorted together in order for the phone to recognize AC charging. I opened this charger and soldered the 2 data pins together on the 2.1A port, but left the 1A port alone. Using a USB cable known to source >500mA from an AC adapter, I connected my phone to the charger's 2.1A port in the car. The charge mode indicated "AC" and no longer "USB". I then removed the cable from the 2.1A port and plugged into the unmodified 1A port, and the phone indicated "USB" charging.

I then used the supplied USB cable in both ports, but the phone only indicated "USB" charging for each one. I tried the cable on an AC adapter and the phone still indicated "USB" charging. I disconnected the cable and sliced it open to find that there were no wires for data + or data (the 2 inner pins). This means that regardless of the charger, this cable would not allow full-rate charging at 2.1A or 1A since the USB device would see data + and data as an open circuit, instead of a short circuit, and limit itself to 500mA.

2) After the soldering modification, I witnessed current rates on the phone via the Battery Monitor app exceeding 900mA from the 2.1A port, which is the net amount of current going to the battery after supplying power for existing phone functions (CPU, screen, radios, etc).

Further, I took another USB cable that has data lines, cut open the outer insulation and spliced together the 2 data lines (green & white insulation). After re-insulating the cable, plugged it into my phone and the 1A port (the not modified port). The phone indicated "AC" charging and >500mA net current to the battery.

My experience with this product has been very positive. My micro usb car charger's wire recently split exposing the wires and I thought it best to replace it sooner rather than after having a short. I got this product as a replacement and figured the extra port would be beneficial for additional charging of my higher powered devices such as my ipad or Nexus 7 while I charged my phone or ipod. The charger is very sturdy, sleek looking and is the right size for my car and has a cool blue light that glows to let you know when it is powered. The light is strong enough that it is visible during the day. It also is sturdy and compact if you want to move it between cars. I was very impressed how well this compact and sturdy device performed. It was able to charge my Android phone(with an extended battery connected) with the 1 amp port much more quickly than my old micro usb charger and was able to also charge my tablets simultaneously with my phone using the 2 amp port at a very fast rate. I didn't realize just how much being able to charge two devices simultaneously would be appreciated and I find myself charging ipods and tablets as I drive along with my phone all the time now. I also like having the option of charging my device at 1 A or quicker using the 2A port provided. The included micro usb cable is also a great bonus as is knowing that I can replace the wire if necessary and won't have to replace the whole unit, unlike my old one piece charging unit. I am very impressed with this sleek, efficient and powerful little device's charging capabilities while driving and am very glad to have replaced my older less functional device. I would definitely recommend using this device for all of the features above.

I have to say this is the only charger that could charge my GS3... I've used so many not realizing that they were my older I phone chargers. I didn't know the whole 2A and 1A difference. But this does the job! I could charge my wife's I phone and my Android phone at the same time.

I'm just a little upset that it stated 15w on the Site yet the box says it's 10w. Honestly this was the only reason I went with trent. I was told about another brand called powergen. It's listed @ 10w 2A charger for a dollar less. Oh well, I guess they got me? It is kinda deceiving to do this... That's why I gave it 4 stars....

Honest reviews on New Trent (1PC) 15W 5V@3.1A Dual high-speed USB port car charger w

I want to use my Nexus 7 (N7) tablet as GPS navigation (BIG SCREEN!) and bought this charger, thinking that it will delivery enough juice (3.1A) to power the N7 while being used.

My N7 was in this state:

ON

Brightness 75%

Wifi ON and tethered to my cellphone

Google Navigation running.

Even though N7 shows that it is "Charging" at AC rate, the battery actually goes down. So it looks like it does NOT charge the N7 while it is being used.

However, if the N7 is OFF, then it charges, albeit slowly.

The New Trent 1 Dual high-speed USB charger has a nice, shape, which fits comfortably into my car's DC slot, and a gentle
blue LED light that signals that the charger is functioning. The supplied USB cord is long enough to power a 
device that may have to be stored in a seat pocket, etc. Over an hour's
 drive it got warm, but not unreasonably so, which suggests that it discharges heat in a safe manner.

I tested the 2A slot with an ipad 3, and the 1A slot with a Samsung Android
phone. Both charged quickly. I then individually ran their mp3
 audio through the car's sound system while charging a topic not addressed by many 5* reviews. The ipad sounded fine,
 but there was a lot of hiss and cycle hum with the Android, hence the 4 stars. All together a great charger if you aren't simultaneously going to play music through your phone!

Honest reviews on Car Charger for Palm Pixi Cell Phone

This charger was affordably priced and it worked fine for a while, but it didn't take more than a few months of ordinary, gentle use before the connecting wire (apparently at the phone end) to develop a weakness that requires one to hold the connection to the phone with some manual pressure in order to sustain the charging process. This would be a good product if it were built a bit more robustly to last.

The pieces of this kit were not labeled as to function. Although some pieces are intuitive, we don't know what to do with others (like one with a USB plug on one end and a speaker plug on the other). The speakers works well, but the charger that plugs into the wall does not charge the unit. The car charger does work, and we're able to use our radio converter to play the MP3 player through our car speakers. The case helps keep the MP3 player from sliding out of your hand, and the headset and USB connector for the computer are extras since we received these parts with the unit.

Best Clore JNC660 'Jump-N-Carry' 1,700 Peak Amp 12-Volt Jump Starter Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $317.77
Sale Price: $129.50
Today's Bonus: 59% Off

If you can't start your car or truck with this thing, you have bigger problems than a dead battery! This unit is one of the most powerful portable battery jumpers out there at 1700 peak amps. That's almost twice as powerful as many other lower quality competitors.

This is not a "multi-purpose" unit that you will find at the local big box store. It's not an air compressor, radio, flashlight, food processor and battery jumper. It's only a battery jumper, although it does have a "cigarette-lighter" style socket to power other items if needed.

This is a great product, but consider this before you buy it: This model may not be for everyone. This is a professional grade item and is not intended to be used by people unfamiliar with proper battery jumping procedures. Here's why I say this:

1. Some battery jumping devices have a feature that will alert you if you hook the jumper cables up incorrectly. This unit has no such feature.

2. Some have safety switches that remove power to the cables while you are hooking them up. This unit has no such switch.

3. Some battery jumpers have sophisticated chargers that won't allow you to overcharge the battery. Not this one. When you plug it in to recharge it, you can't just walk away for 2 days and let it charge. You have to monitor it during the recharging process.

4. Some battery jumpers have a set of generic lights to tell you the current state of charge of the booster box. Not this one. It has a voltmeter on the front and you need to know how to read it.

Now, none of these items is THAT big of a deal, but I thought it was worth mentioning. If you aren't familiar with how to properly jump-start a car, you may be better off with another model with more "dummy-proof" features.

One last comment: This Jump n Carry comes with a redeemable certificate for a one-time replacement unit. If (for ANY reason) this unit stops working during its lifetime, you send it back to the company with the certificate (along with $50) and they will repair or replace it, no questions asked. Not a bad deal!

Bottom Line: If you need the most power in a single-purpose jumper box, buy this one!

Per the manufacturer, all of the JNC660's manufactured AFTER May 2010 now have an AUTO CHARGE feature that allows for you to plug the unit into charge and not have to monitor the charging process. This was a very big drawback of this unit prior as noted in one of the 5 star reviews from G.Powers [Looking for the most powerful battery jumper? Read on..., November 21, 2007] However, the other 'dummy proof' features are still not included in this unit (reverse hookup and turning off power to the cables during hookup)

First off let me just say that this unit is a heck of a lot better than the ones in your box stores. I have a construction company so there is always something with a dead battery everyday. This unit works good for the first, second, and 'sometimes' third jump but that's usually it. After about 8 days of heavy use I can only get the unit to recharge to about 70%I may return it. My only other complaint is that when you are in a hurry and wrap the cables back up its very easy to slice into the cable with the handles.

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.

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.
