I am writing this in the hope that it will help some other buyer's of this product.

There is a place on the belt clip to place a wrist strap. However, no wrist straps come with this model. I had wrist straps that came with my older Cobra 950DX model and transferred them to this model.

The reason I bought this model is that it had the longest advertised range that still used AAA rechargeable batteries. It does say in the manual to "Use only the supplied rechargeable batteries and charger for recharging your Cobra microTALK radio." Now I know why! I tried to use my duracell AAA rechargeable batteries that were fully charged. No lights came on the charger and the batteries would not charge. AAA rechargeable batteries should be interchangeable-right? The Duracell batteries are 800mah 1.2 volts and the supplied rechargeables are 600mah 1.2 volts. If you look at the batteries in the illustration, you will note that the bottom 3/8" of the battery is silver in color. This is a continuous wrap from the bottom negative terminal. On the lower left inside the battery compartment of the radios is a contact that makes contact with that lower 3/8" of the battery. Without making that contact the charger lights and charger will not work. You can wrap some aluminum foil around the one duracell or generic AAA rechargeable battery that makes that contact and everything works. I can only figure that Cobra tried to make everyone buy their OEM batteries for replacement. Personally, I think this is stupid. The advantage of the AAA rechargeable batteries is that they can be easily found and purchased if needed.

The radios work although I have not done any distance range tests. I also wish they had the vibration alert on this model. I can live without it, but I did like that feature on my old 950DX model.

The AAA battery problem has been overcome. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is the omission of the wrist straps. It just seems like all of the manufacturers are cutting every corner they can to save pennies.

I have owned this product for 2 years. It is built solid and has several nice features. I like that it is small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket and the antenna is not big. I have used the units on road trips to keep in contact with other vehicles and used it in theme parks. I have used the VOX (voice activated features) to know when my baby woke up (sleeping in a cabin), and I have used the US weather alert reports. I am pleased with the range and clarity. In the city its range is superior to 5 mile talk units which is not suprising as this is a 25 mile unit. This unit has given me fairly reliable reception at about 2 miles in residential areas. I tested it at 26 miles across Salt Lake Valley from one high point in Salt Lake City to another high point at the other end of the valley in Herriman, Utah. The reception was good, so the farthest distance claim is accurate as long as there are no intervening buildings and hills, etc.

Bought these as a Christmas present and after three weeks of light use, noticed that the radios would not recharge. Contacted Amazon who sent a replacement and e-mailed return shipping to me. Got the new ones and plugged them into the charger and these would not charge. "Wiggled" the power cord a little and the charger started working, but this only lasted a couple of days before it crapped out completely. I suspect the chargers cord is made from very cheap and brittle wire. While the radios appear to work well, they are useless if they cannot be charged. Amazon promptly refunded me for this item.

As far as Amazon.com goes: Their customer service has been outstanding. They sent the first replacements and they appeared on my doorstep the very same day I shipped off the defective ones. The refund on the second set came very quickly, too. They have been Johnny-on-the-spot. No questions asked. Thank you Amazon.

Honest reviews on Cobra Walkie-Talkie microTalk CXT425 22-Channel Two-Way Radio

I lead workshops and I give each participant a radio to be able to keep in touch with them. I attached a wrist strap lanyard with a carabiner to each radio through the spot on the clip for this attachment, but this doesn't attach the lanyard to the radio, but rather the clip itself. And it doesn't take much for the clip to be bumped and slid off the radio. When that happens, your lanyard kept the clip nice and secure, but the radio is lost. Bad design, and there is no spot on the radio to attach a lanyard.

Range is excellent on these radios, with a good set of adjustment options. These are an upgrade from older Cobra radios I used, and these are much, much better.

These radios performed exactly as I expected when purchasing them. We just took them hunting in very mountainous terrain in Utah and they did great. I read reviews for weeks before purchasing this model, and I'm glad I spent the time on research. My husband and I were able to maintain contact up in the mountains with a couple miles and hills between us. We rarely had line of sight, but the signal was crystal clear. We even got fairly decent reception from the in-laws hunting camp several miles and a couple mountain tops away from us. We did lose contact one time when I was down in a gully and my husband was a couple of ridgelines away from me, but it didn't last long. Overall, I think they performed as well as, if not better than expected. Good radios are hard to find for the type of terrain and distances I'm talking about here.

We'll be investing in Rinos over the next few years, but for now these radios are just fine. I recommend taking some time to get familiar with the instruction manual. I ended up using more of the features than I ever have before on a radio, and really liked them. I even used the VOX feature as a baby monitor so I could hang out in camp with my baby napping in our tent.

This is a great little charger, it's light, energy efficient, inexpensive and does the job of a much larger at a reasonable price. I have used this unit to charge a large automotive truck battery and it completely charged it within 5 hours. I also used this unit to charge one of my little sealed lead acid battery packs for a 2 amp trickle charge. I haven't yet had the opportunity to use the 8 amp engine start feature, but I am sure it won't dissapoint thanks to it having the build quality and reliability of the stanley name.

I bought this Stanley battery charger after buying one of their jump starters and this thing is just as good as their jumper. It is super easy to use. All I had to do was hook it up to my battery, plug it in the wall socket and push the button to start charging. I didn't have to select my battery type or anything. This Stanley automotive stuff is awesome!

Best Deals for Stanley BC6809 6/8 Amp Automatic Battery Charger

I bought this to keep my batteries at full charge. In the automatic float mode you don't have to worry about over charging the battery. IT WILL NOT CHARGE A COMPLETELY DEAD BATTERY!...THE BATTERY CAN NOT BE DOWN BELOW 2 VOLTS! At 2 volts and above the charger charges the battery just fine and then kicks into auto float mode once the battery is at full charge. It's light weight and has a nice easy to read digital screen. Comes with a removable stand and has the alligator clamp leads along with the adapter to plug into the cigarette lighter for easy jump starting the vehicle or just charging the battery. For the money it's a good little charger, does just what I need it to do. I recommend this product.

I tested the Stanley BC6809 with my sealed agm Optima and Odyssey batteries and they did well.

During absorb, the voltage will eventually reach 14.55 volts, and then will float at 13.55 volts as measured on a Fluke 87V multimeter. 14.55 volts is ok for pure-lead types like the optima or odyssey, although they prefer a little higher at 14.7v in cyclic use, but still this is very usable. 14.5 volts may be just a tad higher than what lead-calcium agm's prefer such as East-Penn/Deka agm batteries which want to see no more than 14.40 volts, but still this middle of the road absorb voltage is very usable to me.

Critically, the 13.55 float voltage is great and meets Odyssey's float specification of using between 13.5 and 13.8 volts. Part of the reason is due to the "walking down" of capacity if using a float voltage lower than 13.5 volts, some of it due to grid-corrosion using less than 13.5 volts long term.

Note that this charger is not on Odyssey's officially approved list, but the specs and operation make it nice for PC680's and lower model capacity. For larger Odyssey capacities, this makes a good maintainer since it has enough oomph behind it with 6amps charge, and critically the 13.55 volt float. Still, deep discharge of an Odyssey wants 0.4C current recharge, so the difference between charger and maintainer should be kept in mind depending on the battery model.

My Optimas have a little less stringent charging specs, and the BC6809 did a fine job on my yellow-top Optima D51's.

My unit came with a removable drop-in cradle to hold the charger upright, although I feel that the charger ran cooler when it was laid down on a flat-surface since there are no vents on the top or bottom. This unit runs a bit hot (but silent) since it has no fan, but uses plenty of cooling slots all around it. Therefore I would be careful not to lay it down on a floormat or car seat if using it inside a vehicle and in this case, the cradle would then become useful. Once it starts to maintain with a float voltage, it cools down.

It put out a little bit of broadband rf-hash over the 2-30 mhz radio spectrum during charge, and I wish it was as quiet rf-wise as it's bigger 15 amp brother. But once it goes into float-mode, it is quieter across the spectrum, although not as quiet as the smaller Stanley BC209.

All the indications are on an LCD display and spelled out as to what mode you are in. There are no buttons to push, nor any led's. This really makes it a great gift for someone who is not into battery care, and might get settings or readings wrong with more complicated units.

Like any new charger, common sense should prevail if it never drops to float mode, then you have very large parasitic drains or other issues that should be looked at. However, since this is beefier at 6amps charge, you may get away with larger parasitic drains as compared to smaller tenders.

Overall I think this is a good value charger especially for it's price range and specifications.

I bought this inverter because of its compact size. Since my car only has one power point (cig lighter), it's like a 3-way adapter.

I've used it for awhile now and works well for me. I mainly use the household outlet for keeping my laptop topped off on the road and sometimes the USB port to recharge my iPod after a long day. If I had to, I can also plug in my cell phone charger into the second household outlet.

Most other inverters were much larger and would have been messier.

mmm. I definitely was expecting something a little different. It works okay. They haven't perfected a way for what you plug in to actually stay in. It's not the greatest compatibility. You have to maybe turn it side ways so it doesn't fall out. I get a little annoyed with things like that. You pay good money for something to deliver convenience or some sort of gratification and you still wind up settling a little. I had to turn it a few times. Push it back in a few times. If you hit a bump it might move. It is quiet though. My friend has one from another company that is noisy as hell. That would definitely annoy me more so I guess it's the lesser of evils. I'm sure with a little research there is a better version that we can totally feel confident in. So in closing if you don't mind a few things a little off and you can work around them then try it. I'm sure I'll get another type to compare because I put them in different vehicles and I'm always on the road.

Best Deals for Wagan 2295-6 Smart AC 210W Modifed Sine Wave Power Inverter

Bought this items primarily because of price and dual outlets, but wish now I had bought another. It works, but is frustrating. My primary complaint is getting this thing to stay in and connected. The metal contacts on the side are too thick and without sufficient "spring" to make good contact and hold it in place. The end contact has no spring at all, so if the unit wiggles out a fraction of an inch it loses contact and goes off. The plastic locking switch is so inaccessible and hard to move that it is effectively useless. The AC outlet contacts are so cheap that they don't hold plugs at all...they just slide in and out. Finally, when it rolled off the seat and out the door one day (maybe a one-foot drop), the cheap plastic clip that holds the unit together broke (easily remedied with some glue). If you're only concerned about price...well, I would still look at other options.

I bought this product to replace a much more expensive inverter I purchased from Best Buy.

I have had no problems with the Wagan as it stays cool, quiet and has never shut down.

Review of BlackBerry 12V/24V Automotive Charger

Customer Ratings:

This product appears to be a genuine original equipment Blackberry car charger. It has the Blackberry name and logo on it. The plate on the bottom of the cigarette lighter plug of the unit states that the electric output is 5 volts, 500mA (500 milliamperes or .5 ampere). The plate on the wall charger packaged with a new Blackberry 8800 states that the wall charger output is 5 volts, .75 ampere. Thus, it appears that the car charger produces two thirds the electrical charge produced by the wall charger (.5 vs. .75 amp.)

This car charger is used with a Blackberry 8800 and has performed admirably and without any problems. It costs a fraction of the price charged by AT&T ($29.99), apparently for the same product.

Reviews of FM Transmitter USB Charger

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.95

Today's Bonus: 51% Off

This guy... I had another FM transmitter, but it had issues with heat and would constantly power off so I bought this. My goal was to have a USB charging port as well as a 3.5 mm female plug so I could use my phone's 2 in 1 usb/headphone cable and only run one wire up to my phone mount. This product can handle that, however, I have a Droid Razr Maxx and the first time I plugged this baby in with USB connected and powered it up it started to smoke. Not a ton, but enough to wonder if it was going to burn my car to the ground while I was driving. No worries, though, I continued to use it and it hasn't ever smoked again. The phone has also never said it was charging again, but my last FM modulator couldn't charge my phone either, so I wasn't too worried. This guy only has 6 channels, another worry for me before using it. But fear not, this thing is like it's own radio station compared to any other FM Modulator I have ever used. It can cover up a weak radio station with no effort. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

I would like to meet whoever is going to charge triple A batteries in this thing, though. wtf? To me it's a waste of space, but whatever. It doesn't really hurt anything to have it. What if you come across a pack of 3 rechargeable aaa batteries, you know? The only two things that make this lose a star is the fact that it has a button for powering it on rather than a switch. You have to long-hold that button for like 3 seconds to power it on, then press it the number of times you want to get to your channel. The power plug only goes out 90 deg like you can see in the picture, so in my car I have to have the LED lights faced down and it barely plugs into my cig lighter. Sometimes I'll get it powered on and go to switch to channel 2 (a slightly cleaner channel, I have never tried anything past the second channel) and boom I wiggle it while pressing the button and it falls out of the cigarette lighter just enough to power down. A minor issue, but it would be worth 50 dollars if it had a power on/off switch and a switch to change channels so you didn't have to cycle to your channel on each power up. I paid $20, I see it's down to $10 today, so I would say it's a steal if it works in your auto.

Overall, I think I'm going to go fishing one more time and try to get one that handles all of my needs and works well. However, I plan to keep this guy around in hopes that it plugs into the next car I own, or maybe I'll keep it in the GF's car so I can still use it from time to time. I'm half tempted to grab another at $10 in hopes that I just had a bad solder on my USB plug, but I'm pretty sure the razr maxx just uses an ungodly amount of power even though it should be on the USB standard.

After reading many reviews and seeing disappointing reports on other solar chargers I decided to buy this one because, with amazon reward points, it was a very good deal. I recently traveled to Namibia and didn't want to increase the electric bill of the people I was staying with so I thought I would give the Instapark a try. It was excellent! My ipad went from 33% at 11:40 to 55% at 1:00 and when I unplugged it at 2:00 it had charged to 89%. I just propped it up against a rock so it was at a 45 degree angle, tucked the ipad underneath the Instapark so it wouldn't be out in the desert sun, even winter sun, for hours and then went about my day. I touted its praises so much that one of my fellow travelers borrowed it to charge her ipod. All in all I charged my ipad twice, my ipod twice and a friend's ipod once. I highly recommend the Instapark® 10 Watt Solar Panel Portable Solar Charger with Dual USB Ports for iPhone, iPad & all other USB Compatible Devices

This device is rated to output 5 VDC at 2 amps max and it features dual USB port outputs to charge two devices at once. I had success with the product as it would charge an iPhone 4, two iPhone 4's simultaneously, iPad 2, iPad 3, an 11,000 mAh storage battery and a Kindle Fire. This is on a beautiful sunny day.

Here are my test results:

* Charging my wife's iPad 2 was OK. This charged it from 80 % to 100% in under one hour.

* Charging one iPhone was fast and easy.

* Charging two iPhones from 45% and 56% respectively to 100% simultaneously on both phones in 80 minutes.

* Charging an iPad 3 from 28% to 85% in 5 hours. This is a good job as the iPad 3 uses a lot of power to recharge and takes a long time even using the Apple AC wall charger. My iPad 3 did stop charging 3 times due to clouds passing over and the iPad 3 displayed the charging not supported with this accessory error each time. I had to disconnect it and plug it back in to resume charging.

* Charging an 11000 mAh battery was also slow. It charged the battery from 25% to 52 % in about 90 minutes. Charging 2 1/2 hours more raised the battery charge to 62 %. It is good that you can charge batteries in this manner as now you will have both a daytime and nighttime source of energy. This slow charging may have been due to a few clouds passing over on the first day of testing.

* Be very careful of exposing your electronic devices to the hot sun. I covered mine with a white towel and then covered that with a white cardboard box. High temperatures are not good on batteries, electronics and LCD displays. Left in the sun unprotected they will be damaged severely.

* Charging a Kindle Fire worked but again it was slow going due to randomly cloudy skies. The Kindle Fire LED lit power button did not light up but the Kindle Fire did charge.

This solar panel would be ideal for outdoor use by campers and anyone who needed to charge a phone, iPad, or a USB rechargeable battery, GPS or flashlight. This product is great for emergencies when you lose power.

The unit folds up nicely into a portable package that is small and lightweight. It is easy to pack or put into a backpack. The USB ports are contained in a Velcro closed pocket that is also large enough to hold your phone and the cable while it is charging. You can also carry extra USB cables in the pouch for your various electronic devices. The solar panel has multiple hanging loops to hang it on a wall, side of a tent or a line if you need to.

I tested the unit over 2 days and both days had nice sunny skies. Despite that fact the solar panel performed much better the second day. Full intense sunlight provides the best results and any clouds or shadows can stop your device from charging even though the solar panel resumes outputting the proper voltage and current levels when the sun returns. This is due to your electronic device charging circuit and this cannot be helped. Please watch my attached video and I hope it is informative for you.

I was provided a free sample of the device for testing and to provide an impartial review.

Best Deals for Instapark® 10w Solar Panel Portable Solar Charger with Built-in

I bought this to use while hiking and backpacking to keep things like camera, GoPro and GPS charged. Just spent 6 days in the Grand Canyon and found that I wasted a lot of sunlight because everything charged so fast!

For the most part, I kept this strapped to my pack hanging from top to bottom so that it would get sun while I hiked. I then had it plugged into a 5000mAh battery pack that I would charge during the day, and would use the battery pack to charge devices once I was in camp. Next day, recharge the battery pack. There were several days we were at camp by 9 or 10am, so on those days I would set the charger in the sun and plug the battery pack AND a device like my GoPro or fellow hiker's iPods in to charge. Charges rarely took more than 2 hours and usually were done in about an hour for partially charged devices. The last 2 days of the hike I didn't even bother strapping it to my pack...it charged things so fast in camp that it was redundant.

All in all, I'm very happy with this unit and I felt like I was wasting sunlight when not charging something. The two USB ports combined with the fold up design make this a major win!

great product. a must have if you have a droid 2. had a little problem getting a case that would work with it but got it resolved by buying an authentic motorolla case from verizon ( 25 dollars ). very convenient, charging cord plugs into cradle so you don't have to mess with wires and plugging things in. just drop the phone in and go. the navigation is great. my only gripe was that the package had been opened and even though everything was in bags, half of my cradle's suction cup latch looks like it had been broken off. it still locks fine but i'm not sure if this was a new product or something that had been returned. it was sold as new.

This car mount and rapid car charger works great -but -it doesn't work when you have a protective case for your droid. I purchased both this and a protective case at the same time and got the car mount first -phone fit great and it also comes with a adapter that you remove if you get a hard case -however, the hard case has to be a "motorola approved" protective case. That really limits your ability to use this car mount. I ordered a Seido case, which I have used before and highly recommend it. But -understanding which hard/protective case might fit with this car mount is more work than its worth. So, I returned it and am hoping to get another car mount -based on a user's review (that I didn't read before I purchased this car mount) says the AKRON is a good mount that fits all phones. The odd thing to add is that the Motorola docking station -works great -and also has an adapter to use if you are not using a hard case -and this Mortoroal docking station can be used with my Seido case. Go figure??

I used this mount for the first time today and had 2 major issues with it. First, my phone did not charge while it was docked. Second, it caused my phone to overheat. An alarm went off on the phone warning me that it was overheated. I unhooked it from the dock and after about 15 minutes, another message appeared stated that it was now back to regular temperature.

I am returning the mount (Amazon has great customer service); however, I'm suprised that this problem hasn't been reported in other reviews. Maybe mine was just faulty and most of them are fine, but I'm afraid to take a chance of just exchanging it for another one and possibly damaging my phone. I wish it would have worked.

Honest reviews on Motorola Car Mount and Rapid Car Charger for Motorola DROID 2/DROID

I didn't purchase this navigation mount from Amazon.

I bought it from Verizon Store at the time of DROID 2 purchase (Extra discount on phone accessories that makes most of the genuine accessories much cheaper than anywhere else).

Anyhow, it is good to know that Motorola seem to redesigned their navigation mount this time around for DROID 2. Now, you can have your phone stably place on your navigation mount while keeping the case on!

I'm not sure if all the DROID 2 navigation dock comes in a package in a way that the "insert" is already tightly inserted onto its main dock. Well, mine did... and I hated it. I wished if I could have the navigation mount that is usable while keeping the case on.

It took me a while to figure this out...

I actually spent a good one month or so without knowing it and did take the case off every time I'm in my car. Yeah...It was a huge drag... (I still loved it's stability though)

Because of the hassle, I came to very close to just abandoning it and getting an universal navigation mount that would fit my DROID 2 while keeping its case on. And then I found out that Motorola DROID 2 A955 Multimedia Docking Station can be used while I keep the case on after removing the insert (please read my review for the product IF interested)...

And I thought, "Hmmm... so if things worked out with the multimedia docking station, shouldn't it work with the navigation mount too??"

So I tried to see if I could remove the insert from the main dock.

It didn't come off easily. This is because the gap between the main dock and the insert is practically none and I didn't want to damage the dock body. It was necessary to detach the main dock from the arm before I proceed to the next step.

I used two different kind of flat-head screwdrivers (i.e., one small, one medium) in order to separate the two. I first used the small flat-head to make a small gap between the insert and the dock. And then I inserted the bigger flat-head between the gap and pushed the insert further apart from the main dock). IT PROBABLY THE BEST IF YOU WORK ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MOUNT SINCE THE SCRATCHES WON'T BE SO VISIBLE EVEN IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE THE BODY.

It took several attempts before they came apart.

It is a good thing that Motorola built the mount so steadily, but it takes a gentle, yet firm force to separate the two.

Pros:

Compatibility (Fits DROID 2 with or without a case)

Durability (This navigation mount does not shake or move once it's placed right).

I use suction cup to mount against the front glass and from the day one (it's been about a month),

it never came off. It's still attached to the glass as strong as the day one.

Stability (This navigation mount is built very solid and won't come off nor shake the phone).

You can adjust the angle in anyway you want.

There is a charging output on the back of the mount. So you can just put the phone in its place and it starts charging as long as you keep the phone on the mount, which is crucial as battery drains while using Google Map Navigation.

Cons:

It took a while to figure out how to set it up right (Had to use two screwdrivers...)

Package doesn't include car charger

Aux cable is no use if your vehicle doesn't have it's input or is not equipped with bluetooth system (just like my old car. I only have a cassette tape player and I would need to get something like this:Xm Auto Cassette Adapter in order to get a better sound.

This product looks to be very well built.

I was able to get the inner sleeve out easier than most had described, this piece of plastic needs to be taken out in order to put a phone with a case into the cradle. I held the unit upside down and put my fingernails into the crack near the power connector. Then just push the inner piece down, it should slide off of the main unit.

I like how the phone knows when it is in the cradle and brings up an easier to navigate while driving menu.

Pros

-Mountable anywhere

-Well built

Cons

-Quick charger shouldn't have been "strechy", that way I could have routed cord around my steering wheel

-Does not work with my phone's Seidio SURFACE Case, even wiht the spacer piece out

Perfectly sized for cooking two man-sized meal portions. Low power drain on 12 VDC works great for trucks, RVs, boats. Solidly designed and constructed. Not cheap, but worth the price.

The 12 v crock pot is of great use to us. We live full time in our RV and can use the power of the sun instead of electric or LP or generator. How nice to have a little freedom from being chained to the system. Great for truckers. Ah fresh BBQ chicken or pork with just the cost of the pot and the food. Not a foolish product at all.

My husband is a trucker. I bought it so he could have hot meals in his truck and save money. The first time he used it, the plug melted in the outlet. No crock pot. No hot food. No outlet (it was damaged by the meltdown).

Amazon and ANTOnline are not responsible. RoadPro the Manufacturer wants us to pay to ship it to them for a repair or replacement. We can't use a replacement...the socket is fried! ROADPRO RPSL-350 12-VOLT CROCK POT SLOW COOKER

Honest reviews on RoadPro RPSL-350 12V 1.5 Quart Slow Cooker

I really enjoy this small portable crockpot! Instead of stopping at fast food joints while traveling, at least once, we can stop at a lovely reststop, pull out the plates, and enjoy whatever good thing has been tantilizing us while we drive! My only complaint is that the three little legs on the bottom all it to tilt a bit, spilling some juice out even with the elastic band on it. Being a problem solver, I've worked out something, but if I was to buy another, I'd look for one with four posts on the bottom, not three.

This thing is great. I plug it in the 12v socket in my travel trailer and sit the cooker in the sink on a piece of that rubbery stuff that RVers use to keep things from sliding in cabinets. When I stop driving in the evening, dinner is ready. Great product. I just wish it was a bit larger.
