The charger does not look like the one in the picture but is in fact the same as another inexpensive charger shown elsewhere on this site. I did not put the antenna booster on my phone. Research into the device produced information that says it is unproductive and of no value. The charger however, works fine and is a bargain for the price.

Buy GTMax Retractable Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip for Verizon LG
I got these a few days ago, and my main complaint is that the cord is extremely thin. I've used them a couple of times, and in the short term, they are ok. However, I'm worried about the long term issues that the thinness will have on the connection between the USB part of the tip and the cable. Only time will tell.

It is a DC charger. It charges my phone. It is inexpensive. What more could you ask for? It shipped quickly. It retracts nicely. This is what you want. I bought 7 of them for all my cars and boats. They all work perfectly. I have only had them for a month, so I can not speak for the longevity of this product. I can't think of anything negative to say about this.Best Deals for GTMax Retractable Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip for Verizon LG
While this charger fits your phone properly, it does not fit the car charger port properly. It appears to be too small for the socket and therefore does not stay engaged. After second, the charger pops our of the socket and no longer charges the phone.Honest reviews on GTMax Retractable Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip for Verizon LG
This car charger is very poor quality. After waiting what seemed forever for it to arrive, I was very disappointed. It feels like cheap brittle plastic and, it turns out, it IS cheap brittle plastic. After using it about 5 or 6 times in the mont I've had it the casing on the mini-usb plug broke making the unit unusable.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for GTMax Retractable Rapid Car Charger with IC Chip for Verizon LG
Space saving, and nice for whenever you leave the house, then find out you have only 1 bar left on the indicator. Handy to have...I get a charge out of it. :)Monday, August 4, 2014

I am a neat freak, so when I found this retractable charger and knew I wouldn't have to deal with tangled cords, I was very excited. The cord extends out to a perfect length, reaching my phone that I set in my cup holder in the center console, and then easily retracts into the base again. I love it!
I used it for the first time today and found that the plug that goes into the cigarette adapter had come loose just enough that it was no longer charging the phone. On the return trip, we made sure it was pushed in more and it seemed ok, but still a little loose. I will keep an eye on the plug to make sure it is always pushed in as much as I can get it, and I hope it'll work out. Otherwise I love this charger!

Reviews of Go Power! Solar Elite Complete Solar and Inverter System with 320
This product works as advertised. We have a small cabin "off grid" and wanted power for lighting and small appliances. Since I am not a skilled electrician or handyman, I went looking for a kit that would have everything I needed to get up and running. The solar elite kit fit the bill perfectly. This product is truly a plug and play apparatus. It took about four hours to mount the solar panels, hook up the regulator, inverter remote (this is the best we can turn the power on/off from the house), inverter and batteries. We opted not to install the transfer switch and battery charger at this time because we don't have a generator yet, but even that will be easy since GO Power has everything wired; so all we'll have to do is plug it in. We had battery power (4 X 6volt golf cart batteries sold separately) that night and drained them down to 70%. By noon the next day, they were 100% charged. At full sun, the (2) 145 watt panels were putting out 14amps of charge. If you can follow directions and have some basic tools (the instructions let you know what you'll need) you can install this system. For my solar needs, this was/is the best product (quality and price) that I found. Additionally since I am a novice, I contacted the manufacture to inquire about how to calculate my power needs and how many batteries I would need etc. and the customer service was great. Every question was answered and I got the sense that they were genuinely interested in the success of my project and my satisfaction with their product.
My plan is power part of my house to cut power demand and to provide stable power to some electronic equipment with the pure sign wave inverter.
I had a few questions which I emailed the manufacture ..ie about Battery type and requirements. They were quick to respond and very helpful. My package was also missing a component which I again contacted the manufacture and the part was received in 2 days.
I would recommend this system for your solar needs as my experience was great. The customer service was fantastic.
Thanks

I purchased this product to run security lights on our home property and to have some backup for when we loose power. Our power goes out frequently in the winter so I'm sure this system will get some use when the snow starts to fall. I have also used it to run my power saws and drill when doing odd jobs out back around the horse barns. I have tested to see if it would run the fridge and furnace and it had no problem doing that job. We have been using a diesel generator for backup and it does a good job but having to go out in bad weather to get more fuel every three days is something I hope to avoid in the future. My wife and I have downsized sense the kids are gone we use 1/4 the power now and have smaller appliances or a unit like this would not do the job for us.Best Deals for Go Power!

Actually, the 3 stars are probably a little unfair. The system itself is awesome for those of us who like to drop off the grid every now and then. I spent 3 days in New Mexico just living on sunshine (and the propane gas heater). However, the buyer is led to believe that this is just a plug-and-play system. Hardly. I had it installed on my 5th wheel. The first dealer estimated two days to install, the second said twelve hours. I suppose that those of you who are more confident about punching holes in the roof of your rv and snaking wiring down through the walls and have no trouble getting particular items to run off of the a/c might find this fairly simple to install. I am not. So for those of you like myself, you might want to allow another $1300 or so for installation (there is no romex included either extra charge). So, four stars for the system, three stars for the BS make that two and split the difference to get three.Honest reviews on Go Power! Solar Elite Complete Solar and Inverter System with 320

This is a well designed well built system. The only thing you need are your batteries and the cables to join them together.

So I read many reviews and thought the price and quality of this battery were perfect. This one is rated at 5amp per hour versus my old battery that was 4 or 4.5 per hour. I'm a bit compulsive and when you shop for a replacement for anything you usually want to err on the safe side...get the same color etc. Well, this one isn't black like the others!

There's no mistaking when the charge is complete. Bonus points for not using annoying blue LEDs.

Just got this baby the other day. Bare tool since I already have the M18 compact impact, sawzall, circular saw, 2 compact drill/drivers, flashlight, and grinder. This tool has some serious power. Pulled the front wheels off my bosses Super Duty Yesterday. Impact barely tried and lugs came right off. I very impressed. My boss was like try doing that without smiling. I could not stop smiling. Once again Milwaukee WOWs me. Thanks for making my life easier.
Happy days for me when I came across this impact from Milwaukee. I love my other 18 volt lithium ion powered Milwaukee tools and decided to give this impact a try. As usual, Milwaukee came through with a compact and powerful tool that has great ergonomics in your hand and does what it says it will. The bonus of not being tethered by an air hose or electrical cord is just icing on the cake.
This impact was purchased to remove the nut that holds the drive sprocket on my motorcycle. Torque values for this nut are 95 ft. lbs.. The Milwaukee impact spun the nut loose in about 2 seconds. The adjustable trigger pressure on this impact also made it possible for me to pre torque with the impact and follow up with a torque wrench to reinstall the sprocket nut.
You can tell by now that I am very pleased with the Milwaukee impact wrench 2663-20. I highly recommend this impact wrench.
It's longer than an air impact and heavier. But not too heavy, and maneuverable enough. Before I got my 3/8" m12 impact, I gladly used this to spin off 10mm bolts. It's pleasurable and quick.
I used this for two days working on my car last weekend and the XC battery is still showing the full 4 bars of charge. I really don't understand why anyone would use an air impact for most automotive work. I feel sorry for the guys at tire shops toting hoses around. What a waste.
The compact m18 would probably be enough for most work, including tire changes. I got this because I didn't ever wanna come up against a fastener I couldn't break loose (I've had my share of frustrations with cheap air tools). Once I saw how well this worked, I decided I wanted something light and maneuverable for small fasteners, and got the m12 with xc battery (apparently m12 with standard battery is too weak). The m12 can break loose bolts torqued to 65ftlb (my tests), and this m18 takes care of everything else. I'm a happy man!

I bought this impact wrench after considering air powered and electric wrenches. Air involved the purchase of a compressor and all of the other stuff you need to properly operate air tools.

If you ever want to try out an impact wrench to determine whether it has the guts to get it done or not try taking out a crankshaft bolt. These suckers are notoriously tight and almost no electric impact wrenches can handle them and only the best air impact wrenches less than 3/4" drive can handle them. THIS WRENCH CAN HANDLE THEM.

This unit is a must for any vehicle that sits for an extended period of time. As long as the battery has a full charge this will maintain the battery and it will keep the charge topped off. Over the winter my bike sits for long periods and with solar maintainer the battery fires the bike up every time. A weather proof unit is what I needed since it is mounted outside of my garage. It also has a 15' extension for it. Beware that the positive and negative terminals are reversed on this unit as compared to most other battery chargers and maintainers so you will have to pay attention to that if you are swapping cables or you are integrating it will another charging device.
I would have given it 4 or 5 stars, but, it has no LED or any way to know if and when it is working. Some of these arrays ( some cheaper) have at least an LED to let you know the thing is functioning. A serious draw back IMHO!

I had my motorcycle battery in my room dead hooked it all up to the panel and 3 days later went out and started my bike.Honest reviews on Sunforce 50013 1-Watt Motorcycle and Powersports Solar Battery
Last year once the spring rolled around and it was time to start mowing grass again, I found out the battery to my riding lawnmower was dead. I also recently bought a Harley and feared that the same thing would happen. I store both of these items in my shed where there is no electricity run to it. The cheapest option I found was to use two of these solar power battery maintainers to keep the charge in my batteries fresh. So far I have been using them for several weeks and have had no discharging issues with my batteries or starting either pieces of equipment. I used a multimeter to check the voltage on the solar panels to ensured both worked prior to placing them on my shed. The true test will come this winter to see if the batteries stay charged. This kit comes with clamps as well as cables to permanently install a quick connect. I chose to use the permanent connects directly connected to the batteries. The only reason I give this four stars is that the positive connect on the quick connect is not covered. I'm not an electrical professional but I do believe that the bodies of lawnmowers and motorcycles are grounded to the negative terminal. Therefore if you disconnect the quick disconnect and it touches the body of the vehicle it will be like connecting the positive and negative terminals. I've been careful enough not to let that happen, I'm assuming it would blow the fuse. The solution for this is before you disconnect the solar charger quick connect, remove the inline fuse from the cable. If someone knows electricity better please correct me.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sunforce 50013 1-Watt Motorcycle and Powersports Solar Battery
I bought two of these and mounted them to my PWC trailer tongue. During the day, there is anywhere from 7-18 volts DC flowing to my batteries keeping them fresh. Taking out pwc batteries and bringing them home to keep on a trickle charge sucks.

Belkin Portable Power Pack 1000 - Mobile Charger / Travel Charger Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $39.74
Today's Bonus: 1% Off

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program UPDATE: After a little over six weeks, Belkin replaced my broken Power Pack. I fully charged it overnight and ran my iPhone 4S battery down to 2%. In 90 minutes, it charged my phone to 44% and stopped. To be fair, Belkin says this is designed for the average phone and not most smart phones. But for the price, you should compare it to other power packs that cost the same and are of much better capability.
I dislike giving negative reviews, but this product had my dander up. Also, I like to save people Forty Dollars on this poor product. The first time I charged this battery overnight (minimum of eight hours); I waited the next day until my iPhone 4S was at 20% of a charge. I then plugged it in while still using the iPhone occasionally. In three hours it went up to 39% and then began to rapidly reduce the entire battery charge back to 20% until it completely discharged. I thought I would try charging it without using the phone. I charged it again in more than the recommended three hours (four hours) until the blue light verified that it was charged. There is NO simple scale on the Belkin battery to tell you how much charge is left in the battery, which I think is a major failing.
I waited until my iPhone was completely out of energy (1%) and then plugged in the Belkin. The small port on the Belkin came loose and dropped into the Belkin Battery. I never had the chance to see how much of a charge I could get. Next came six calls to Belkin who triple verified everything from my name to my model number and promised to get back to me the next day, which they did. What followed were accidental hang-ups, repeat information and a bevy of frustrations.
After reading how so many reviewers only had limited recharge rates, I did ask technical support an important question. "If my iPhone is at 1% of energy and I attach my Belkin Battery fully charged to the iPhone, how much of a renewal charge should I get?" The response was, "You should get a 100% charge up on your iPhone". I don't think so. Save your money and buy something else more reliable like a "Juice pack air(tm) iPhone 4 & 4S Battery Case" or a New Trent ifuel IMP500 5000mAh External Battery pack and Charger for Apple iPhone 4S 4 3Gs 3G (AT&T and verizon), iPod Touch (1G 2G 3G 4G 5G), Motorola Droid, HTC Android EVO, Blackberry, Samsung EPIC, Samsung Galaxy Tablet, Samsung Galaxy S and much more (although I cannot yet speak for the latter). Good luck.
Versatile. The use of a USB port for power-output and for charging on this device means that it works with pretty much every device I own. Android phones, iPods, portable wifi hotspots, Bluetooth headsets, all can be charged from this battery, and it can either be recharged from the wall, the car, or even from your laptop's battery.
Portable. I love the compact size of this battery. I had considered getting the 4000mAh version, but am glad that I opted for this one. It doesn't provide as much power as the bigger unit, but considering how compact it is, the trade-off is worth it for my purposes.
Durable. Although plastic, this battery seems very well made and is very durable. I don't think there will be any problem with it surviving in my ski coat or Camelback.
Power. I got about half a charge onto my Motorola Triumph Android phone when I charged it from zero as a test. Based on that, and the 1000mAh rating, think that half a charge is about what you can expect for this one on most smartphones. Enough for an emergency, or to prolong your phones life, but not enough to give you a full recharge.
I recommend this battery for its stated purpose. If you need something with more power, consider the 4000 mAh version.
What exactly do I mean? For example, the iPhone 4 and 4S uses a battery with a capacity of about 1500mA while this battery only has a capacity of 1000mA. Thus, from the specs you should expect that this would only be able to charge about 66% of that of the iPhone. In real world application, expect probably around a 50% charge from this battery to your iPhone.
So, this is definitely for smaller dumb phones if you expect it to fully charge your phone. For smartphones I would only rely on it only as an emergency charger to use in a pinch until you can get to a real power source. For that, this external battery fits the bill quite nicely as it's small and light weight.
The only thing missing I think is a battery indicator beyond just one LED light to show how much power is left in the battery. I guess it's not a problem to just charge it all the time but that's not exactly efficient.
Finally, I think this thing is way overpriced for its intended use. I can see it being a good value if it were priced under $20 but not at the current price.
The down side is that while it's small and light, it also doesn't store enopugh charge to fully recharge a cell phone. I tried it on both my Blackberry Curve and my wife's smart phone and it charged a dead phone back to about 50%. Certainly not awful but I would have hoped for a little better.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM) Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program UPDATE: After a little over six weeks, Belkin replaced my broken Power Pack. I fully charged it overnight and ran my iPhone 4S battery down to 2%. In 90 minutes, it charged my phone to 44% and stopped. To be fair, Belkin says this is designed for the average phone and not most smart phones. But for the price, you should compare it to other power packs that cost the same and are of much better capability.
I dislike giving negative reviews, but this product had my dander up. Also, I like to save people Forty Dollars on this poor product. The first time I charged this battery overnight (minimum of eight hours); I waited the next day until my iPhone 4S was at 20% of a charge. I then plugged it in while still using the iPhone occasionally. In three hours it went up to 39% and then began to rapidly reduce the entire battery charge back to 20% until it completely discharged. I thought I would try charging it without using the phone. I charged it again in more than the recommended three hours (four hours) until the blue light verified that it was charged. There is NO simple scale on the Belkin battery to tell you how much charge is left in the battery, which I think is a major failing.
I waited until my iPhone was completely out of energy (1%) and then plugged in the Belkin. The small port on the Belkin came loose and dropped into the Belkin Battery. I never had the chance to see how much of a charge I could get. Next came six calls to Belkin who triple verified everything from my name to my model number and promised to get back to me the next day, which they did. What followed were accidental hang-ups, repeat information and a bevy of frustrations.
After reading how so many reviewers only had limited recharge rates, I did ask technical support an important question. "If my iPhone is at 1% of energy and I attach my Belkin Battery fully charged to the iPhone, how much of a renewal charge should I get?" The response was, "You should get a 100% charge up on your iPhone". I don't think so. Save your money and buy something else more reliable like a "Juice pack air(tm) iPhone 4 & 4S Battery Case" or a New Trent ifuel IMP500 5000mAh External Battery pack and Charger for Apple iPhone 4S 4 3Gs 3G (AT&T and verizon), iPod Touch (1G 2G 3G 4G 5G), Motorola Droid, HTC Android EVO, Blackberry, Samsung EPIC, Samsung Galaxy Tablet, Samsung Galaxy S and much more (although I cannot yet speak for the latter). Good luck.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've been waiting for someone to come out with this exact product. I got this because I often use my cell phone for music, route tracking, and to make and receive calls while I'm out on long bike rides, skiing, or just away from the house. The thought has often occurred to me, when I've been especially far away from other people, that the battery in my phone is kind of a critical resource to be wasting on Pandora or other applications that drain the battery quickly. I worried that my battery would be near dead on the exact occasion that I had some emergency come up, and would be unable to use my phone when I needed it. This battery is the exact solution I needed to stop this attack on my piece of mind.Versatile. The use of a USB port for power-output and for charging on this device means that it works with pretty much every device I own. Android phones, iPods, portable wifi hotspots, Bluetooth headsets, all can be charged from this battery, and it can either be recharged from the wall, the car, or even from your laptop's battery.
Portable. I love the compact size of this battery. I had considered getting the 4000mAh version, but am glad that I opted for this one. It doesn't provide as much power as the bigger unit, but considering how compact it is, the trade-off is worth it for my purposes.
Durable. Although plastic, this battery seems very well made and is very durable. I don't think there will be any problem with it surviving in my ski coat or Camelback.
Power. I got about half a charge onto my Motorola Triumph Android phone when I charged it from zero as a test. Based on that, and the 1000mAh rating, think that half a charge is about what you can expect for this one on most smartphones. Enough for an emergency, or to prolong your phones life, but not enough to give you a full recharge.
I recommend this battery for its stated purpose. If you need something with more power, consider the 4000 mAh version.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is a tiny, lightweight external battery that's good for emergencies only. People should NOT confuse this with the larger batteries also sold by Belkin that are used to really charge batteries.What exactly do I mean?

Honest reviews on Belkin Portable Power Pack 1000 - Mobile Charger / Travel Charger
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I found this to be a very easy to use little device, quite handy and easy to carry. It took about 4 hours to come back up to a full charge when depleted, so it's not hugely fast on the recharge. It will shut itself down if you detach the phone or what-have-you and don't turn it off, so it will conserve power. It was also durable, as I dropped the darned thing a few times and it survived unschathed.The down side is that while it's small and light, it also doesn't store enopugh charge to fully recharge a cell phone. I tried it on both my Blackberry Curve and my wife's smart phone and it charged a dead phone back to about 50%. Certainly not awful but I would have hoped for a little better.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This is the most basic model in the Belkin Power Pack line. Despite the tagline 'for tablets and smartphone', it's really not strong enough to boost those power hungry items. Even with a full charge, it barely gave my phone an extra boost, nowhere near the advertised '5-10 hrs of talk time'. The best thing about this pack is the slim design. It's very small and would be great for travel. I only wish it carried a stronger charge. It might work better for mp3 players etc, though I haven't personally tested that option.Sunday, February 23, 2014

This cord was bought at a fair price and arrived in a timely manner in condition as advertised. It also performs as advertised. It has a universal micro USB end, which makes it compatible with a number of phones. However, I was somewhat disappointed by the lesser quality of the construction of this particular product. I did get what I paid for, so over all it was a worthwhile purchase. I would recommend this to persons who are looking for a relatively inexpensive phone cord that will more or less "get the job done."

Reviews of Premium All-in-one Car DC + Home Wall Travel Charger AC Power
Dual input power (very, very, very, convenient), 2 output USB ports (plenty of output power), high quality workmanship and material product, outstanding support (ordered two, one had a problem and got an immediate replacement from the seller and no more problems), compact size (just a touch big, but then again for what this provides I do not see how they could have made it any smaller without loosing some of it features or quality build). NOTE: In case your concerned about short protection, the Power Adapter "is" internally fused. There is a small glass fuse for the DC input side (replaceable) and a small glass fuse for the AC input side (soldered into place). I learned this when I was troubleshooting the one that I received that had an intermittent DC power operation problem . I found the fuses to be good and the problem was with the switching circuit. I contacted the seller and they sent me an immediate replacement (outstanding support) .

This adapter seemed to work fine for a few weeks but then one day it sparked while plugged in and it never worked again. One could smell the smoke. It failed during a trip, which was most inconvenient! These things should have an internal breaker or fuse mechanism, since it is advertised for versatility.
