Premium Rapid Car Charger (with IC CHIP) for LG Muziq / AX-565 Review
I bought this product for my 2.5 yo LG Voyager. I was happy with the product for the first 3 weeks, as it kept my phone charged. One day, randomly, it stopped working and my phone doesn't charge at all. Waste of my money!

The retractable cord is great, less mess and fuss in the car. Unfortunately, it would charge my phone for a few minutes and then stop. The first time it did this, I had used it twice and it stopped charging after 30 minutes. I have used it a total of 6 times now and it charges for a minute and then stops. Sadly, not worth the retractable cord if it doesn't charge.

Best Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty BACK Floor Mat (Tan) Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $73.95

Today's Bonus: 34% Off

My dad got us started on these heavy duty mats, and now at least six members of my family use them. We are a very outdoorsy bunch. Almost all of us hunt or backpack, so we need a good quality mat to help save the interior of our vehicles from muddy boots and gear. The Huskey heavy duty mats are the best we've found anywhere. They are a durable, great quality, and easy to clean mat that I would highly recommend.
Too bad I only noticed this after the cut.
The quality was also not too impressive, husky not being all that husky... perhaps I should have gotten the ones sold at discount chains like Target, costing about 1/3, and just a bit thinner.

It wasn't custom, and it seems to be unidirectional, which is a problem because to fit it to particular car models one would have to turn it around so the cut mat would fit.Too bad I only noticed this after the cut.

Been using this for a few days during my commute to/from work. Charges well, and the retractable cord definitely helps decrease clutter. The cord length is adjustable, and a push button will retract the whole thing. One con: the cigarette lighter end gets much hotter than previous car chargers I've used for other phones.

Wagan Twin USB Traveler's Adapter Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $14.95
Sale Price: $2.99
Today's Bonus: 80% Off

This product works great and is sturdy. The price is right. It powers a Garmin Nuvi 265T and a Blackberry Curve or two Blackberries at the same time. It takes a couple minutes for the Garmin to connect using the USB in the car instead of the adapter that comes with the GPS. The Nuvi probably is looking to connect to the computer with the USB so it takes a bit more time. The Palm Centro won't charge on this adapter. But I think the problem is probably due to the Palm rather than the charger.
The best thing about this adapter is its small size and it is very quiet. If you need an AC outlet, DieHard 140-Watt Power Inverter with Built-in USB Port would be a great choice.
April 2011 Update One of the ports broke after more than one year of heavy use. So I ordered one Scosche Dual USB Car Charger and another one of the Wagan Traveler Adapter. The Scosche is a little shorter but the ports are loose. Both worked fine. I prefer the Wagan over the Scosche. The cables plug in securely with the Wagan whereas the Scosche cable connections are loose.

Discount RadTech WaveJamr Bluetooth Wireless Speaker Dock Adapter
took a chance on the Wavejamr that it would be powered by my older Altec-Lansing T612 iPhone Speaker Dock.
Pleasantly surprised not only does it work, but sound is almost as good as a direct connection (impreceptable)
my previous "risk" was a Pyle Home PBTR70 no direct power from 30-pin connector of the speaker dock.
forced to use that with a junky Brookstone speaker dock.
My newer Klipsch KMC3 Bluetooth Speakers have BT built-in, are the best sounding but the Wavejamr
brings the older T612 "close enough".Finally! A fairly inexpensive fix to fix my old Bose SoundDock??? Nope. Worked well for a full day, and then the glue inside the WaveJamr melted and took a gooey poo all over my SoundDock, rendering them both worthless. May be able to salvage the SoundDock to be fair, but it didn't fix a thing.

Review of USB/AC for MP3 Players - White

Like everyone else, I hate Apple's not including an AC adapter with the iPod and then charging $30 to get one. And, like many here, I was hesitant to buy a $3 charger since it might ruin my $250 nano. But it isn't a $3 charger. It's more like a $6-10 charger when you add in the "shipping" -roughly $7.50 for one and $10.50 for two, which is really shipping, handling and profit. Even at those prices, it's much better than Apple and I like the design even better (roughly half the size and one third the weight. Given the small power output, that shouldn't be a problem and is better when traveling. Apple's adapter is almost as big as the one for my iBook and that uses many times the power of an iPod charger.
Someone expressed concern about the lack of a "charge completed" indicator, but I don't see how that could happen. To my knowledge, a USB port (which this charger replicates so far as charging is concerned) does not know when anything connected to it is done charging (or even if it is charging vs. operating) so all the charge control would seem to have to be in the iPod, not the charger.
I gave this product four stars instead of five only because of the company's misleading shipping charge. Paradoxically, they might sell more if they charged the true price and a more reasonable shipping charge since a lot of people are likely to be scared away by a ridiculously low price, out of fear they will damage their iPod. I wish Amazon would require its affiliated sellers to adhere to a reasonable shipping cost policy. Amazon's charging reasonable shipping is a big reason I tend to come to their site, but situations like this are making me look elsewhere more.

Peak PKC0AO 300 Amp Jump Starter Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $79.99
Sale Price: $41.17
Today's Bonus: 49% Off

My Mazda3 would not start, battery cells dried out or just getting old.
Had to call AAA twice and at the same time ordered this unit.
Sure enough, battery weak again, car would not start, a fully charged up Peak to the rescue, INSTANT success.
Drove the car on the highway for a while and it now seems OK.
With the Peak in the back, no longer a need to worry about getting stuck or calling AAA.
Its best features:
low cost
small size
recharges in home via AC or in car via DC, all cables included.
Two things to pay attention to:
When charging (and this is true of any such unit) make SURE ground is NOT touching painted surface, it MUST make contact with raw metal.
If ground is touching a painted surface, the units contact indicator can give a false reading of contact.
Use the battery terminal ground at your own risk, if you do so for whatever reason, be sure there is NO fluid or fumes coming from battery.
The built-in indicator showing the units strength must be used when unit is ACTUALLY charging, otherwise false reading may occur.
Highly recommended!
I had a riding lawnmower that was draining batteries and constandly needed to be jumped off of my truck battery, which was incredibly cumbersome. Carrying this starter out to the lawnmower, jumping it, and then mowing the lawn was 100 times easier than backing out my truck, popping the hood, untangling the cables, pulling the mower out in front of the truck, and then jump-starting it. I've since repaired the lawnmower, but am keeping this handy little charger around for my wife's car, just in case she needs it. It barely takews up any room at all, and it holds quite a charge. I've jump-started my riding lawnmower twice and the battery indicator didn't even drop (I would imagine a car would take a much higher charge and therefore drain the battery more), but it still shows how much this charger is capable of holding.
If you're looking for a portable jump-starter, this is the one for you.
"The built-in indicator showing the units strength must be used when unit is ACTUALLY charging, otherwise false reading may occur."
I can confirm that to be true. The indicator may show the unit at full strength when it is actually 50% discharged. It appears that you only get a true indication when it is charging that is not made clear in the manual.
I tested the amperage on the AC charger and got a reading of about 150 ma. At that rate it would take about 27 hours to re-charge the unit's 8 ah battery if it were 50% discharged. So if you use this as a 12 volt power source, you may need to charge it a while to get it fully recharged.

I have an remote starter on my car and after work I figured I'll start my car as I walk to it. The car didn't start but the headlights were on. I went inside the car and tried to start it with the key and nada. No noise or anything. My automatic starter must've glitched. I kept trying to turn the key to start my car in hopes by magic it'll turn over. NO luck. I stopped to think for a second and then figured I'll put the car in valet mode (it's for the auto starter) to see if I could bypass the remote starter. I did and nothing. My last option was to see if i killed the battery by trying to start it so many times. I took this out of my trunk that hasn't been charged in 4 months and connected the red to the red battery terminal and the black to a nut some where on the engine. The green light turned on telling me I had a correct circuit. I then turned the knob to power on the jumper. I ran to the driver's seat and tried to start it. A sign of life! It's trying to turn over. I counted to 4 and then tried it a second time and it turned right on. The scream i let out could have been heard in China (where it was most likely made). I can't tell you how awesome this unit is. I used it several times for my DC accessories and it last a very long time. This product has yet to disappoint me. 5 STARS! Thanks for reading.Honest reviews on Peak PKC0AO 300 Amp Jump Starter
I purchased two of these units around Christmas time (Black Friday Specials). Not long after changing up the units, I had the opportunity to test them out. My neighbors 4 cylinder Nissan wouldn't start, and he came over looking for jumper cables. I proudly grabbed my fully charged jump started and walked on over. Connected it up, turned the knob, green light came on, gave in about 4 seconds to charge up, and.... nothing. Actually the motor turned over really slow for about 3 seconds, then nothing. Slightly embarrassed, I walked back home, grabbed the second unit, and jumper cables(just in case). Same scenario as the first. We ended up using the jumper cables, that once connected to a spare battery I have, fired the motor right up. A couple of weeks later, my daughter had her girlfriend spent the night. The next morning, her car battery was dead (left the trunk ajar and trunk light burned all night). Again, a small compact car (4 cylinder engine), and again both units failed to start the car. The car fired right up once connected to the RV battery and cables. I'll be tossing these in the trash, and recommend you save your money, or buy a unit with more amps. This unit might be good for a motorcycle or lawn mower type battery, but forget starting anything larger.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Peak PKC0AO 300 Amp Jump Starter

Go Power! Solar Extreme Complete Solar and Inverter System with 480 Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $4,429.00
Sale Price: $3,679.99
Today's Bonus: 17% Off

2 years ago we had a solar setup installed on our RV that was crap! We recently upgraded to this Go Power! Solar Extreme kit and I can honestly say it's one helluva setup. When we're camping in full sun there is NO WAY we can drain the batteries, trust me we've tried.
The kit comes with everything needed for install (including a giant instruction manual) however I'll be honest we had a 3rd party do the install for us. The panels are large but our 32 foot motorhome roof had more than enough space to accommodate.
The Pure Sine invertor runs delicate appliances that my factory invertor would not run (espresso machine, milk frother, hair dryer) while providing us double the wattage so we can now listen to the stereo while cooking on the induction plate without blowing fuses or overheating the invertor.
The solar controller seems to work fine, but the new boost technology that supercharges the batteries is by far the best feature, it allows us to ramp up our batts to 14.5 at the end of the day so we can have power throughout the night.
So far the smart battery charger, inverter remote, and the shore power/invertor AC switch kit seem to work as promised.
A few things to know:
We now need to upgrade our battery bank as this setup provides way more power than our batteries can store.
My old charge controller was able to charge my house batteries, and when those were full it would charge the engine batteries; I'm not sure the Go Power! controller is capable of this.
If you're considering a new solar setup or want to upgrade this kit will not disappoint.
We also installed the Go Power! GP-PSK-120 120W Portable Folding Solar Kit with 10 Amp Solar Controller so we can capture the early AM and late PM light, it's a cheap addition and easy to install.
We wrote an article and created a more detailed video on our blog about the solar setup and how we've been using it: gonewiththewynnsDOTcom/extreme-rv-solar
This product was given to us for review but our opinions are our own.The product components are solid and together make up a good solution. The invertor seems to be a bit light in supplying power to more demanding appliances.

2 years ago we had a solar setup installed on our RV that was crap! We recently upgraded to this Go Power! Solar Extreme kit and I can honestly say it's one helluva setup. When we're camping in full sun there is NO WAY we can drain the batteries, trust me we've tried.
The kit comes with everything needed for install (including a giant instruction manual) however I'll be honest we had a 3rd party do the install for us. The panels are large but our 32 foot motorhome roof had more than enough space to accommodate.
The Pure Sine invertor runs delicate appliances that my factory invertor would not run (espresso machine, milk frother, hair dryer) while providing us double the wattage so we can now listen to the stereo while cooking on the induction plate without blowing fuses or overheating the invertor.
The solar controller seems to work fine, but the new boost technology that supercharges the batteries is by far the best feature, it allows us to ramp up our batts to 14.5 at the end of the day so we can have power throughout the night.
So far the smart battery charger, inverter remote, and the shore power/invertor AC switch kit seem to work as promised.

Buy Retractable Car Charger for Google Nexus S
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $12.59
Sale Price: $5.89

I use this for my Nexus S, but it is compatible with anything that uses a micro USB port. You will be hard-pressed to find a charger that performs equally as well for this price. Here's why I like it:
-It's quick to charge. While my metrics are purely in my head, this seems to charge faster than others I've owned.
-The cord length is significant. I've never found myself wishing it were longer. I'd guess it to be about 4-5 ft.
-The cord is straight. The ones with a wound cord have always made me feel like I'm battling a very weak monkey for use of my phone.
-The retractable cord makes it easy to pack up. And -probably even more importantly -keeps the cord from becoming a tangled mess. When not in use, it helps to keep everything squared away.
Honestly, for $3, one should be happy enough with "works." But this is one of the best, quickest car chargers I've ever owned. I'm pleasantly surprised and have been using it for months without any problems.

Compact, hassle free and really usefull. Unbeatable for the price! Works fine with any gadget that has a Micro USB port.Best Deals for Retractable Car Charger for Google Nexus S
Most of the time, I leave negative feedback when I receive a product that doesn't work properly, but I was very impressed with this product wwhile it did work. I really like the compact design and the retractable aspect of the chord. Unfortunately, after about 3 weeks of using the product, it stopped working. The unit still would light up and my phone acted as if it was charging, but the phone wasn't getting a charge. My friend gave me an old mini-USB car charger he didn't need and that one worked fine. I'm guessing I got a faulty unit which is unfortunate, because I did really like the product. For the price though, I'm not super disappointed.Honest reviews on Retractable Car Charger for Google Nexus S
I purchased two of these and was intrigued by the retractable cord and the price. Was pleased with it until I started to using it. Doesn't charge my phone very well; pretty much just holds the charge. The retractable cord is also about 4 inches too short for both my wife and I. It's difficult to talk on the phone while having it plugged in. I wouldn't recommend these but I'm also still using it and haven't bought a new one...so take that for what it's worth.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Retractable Car Charger for Google Nexus S
This charger has made life much easier. The product is sturdy and very convenient. The charger does not take up that much space and has a retractable attachment. My phone does not have to be directly next to the outlet in order to charge. I like my new charger. Thank you.Thursday, May 29, 2014
Cheap APPLE IPHONE 3G / iPhone 3Gs 16GB / 32GB, iPod Nano 4th Gen, iPod
I bought this mainly for the car charger. I was worried about a generic charger working with the new iPhone 3GS, as it seems a lot of these aftermarket car chargers that are designed for older models aren't compatible due to the Firewire/USB pin issue, but for the price I couldn't pass up giving it a try. I received my chargers this morning what was received was a bit different than pictured (plugs a little different in appearance) but all three seem to charge the phone just fine. I haven't used the car charger long enough to tell if the charge rate can keep up with the heavy battery usage of the GPS-dependent apps, but I'll be sure to update this review if I find that it doesn't.
My delivery from Eforcity arrived within a week of placing my order in great condition.
Everything else works great. The usb cable is a retractable type, which is nice because there isn't a long wire laying around on the desk getting in the way.
I would recommend this if you are looking for a wall charger and usb charger to sync with. Maybe the car charger I received was just defective, as other reviewers haven't had a problem with theirs.
These chargers DO work with the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4S running iOS 5

I cannot believe Frys and Best Buy charge so much for iphone chargers. Here's a complete set so you can leave one plugged to the wall, one in your car and one plugged to the computer without having to move around the usb cable -all three for under 7 dollars! And they're black so they match the iphone. Plus the end which you stick on the iphone is easier to grasp than one that came with the phone.My delivery from Eforcity arrived within a week of placing my order in great condition.

Didn't last long, broke quickly. The plastic body was cheap around the attachment. I would not buy one of these again.
