I've put about 200 watts of load on this and it runs cool, quiet and works great. Those complaining of overheating, buzzing, and blowing fuses must be overloading it and should have bought a larger model with a higher wattage rating.

It's not ultra well made, but what do you want at this price? I verified it's properly grounded and fused. And it claims to be CE rated (the European rating agency).

It's also worth noting it gives you the ability to fine tune the voltage a bit with the selector on the back (each mode has 2 different voltages--i.e. 220v or 240v). That could be useful if you have unusually high or low line voltage.

One note: It does NOT have a detachable power cord like shown in the picture. It comes with a regular 120 USA AC cord hard wired in for the input power for step up use. And an adapter to plug is supplied to convert that into a euro plug for step down use.

This converter does the job well. Since it's a single outlet, I chose to attach a multiple-outlet extension cord, to accommodate all of my electrical needs, including a netbook. I didn't have any issues with it blowing fuses. The main reason I bought this was I've lost too many appliances to using just an electrical adapter while traveling overseas and on cruise ships, but when I bought this, I neglected to take into account the weight limits for baggage that is allowed on overseas flights. It added 7 lbs to my luggage and took up too much precious cargo space. I'm now looking for a lighter and leaner one. Anyone interested in buying mine knowing all the limitations?

I use this product to step-down 220 VAC to 120 VAC to power a Toshiba 55L417U and a Panasonic DVR. The total load is approximately 200 watts and the VC300W handles it with ease. The transformer runs moderately warm and I now sit it on one of those USB powered laptop cooler thingys. The transformer makes absolutely no vibrational noise at all. The Power Bright company holds an ISO 9001/14001 certification. ISO certifications do not guarantee quality products, only quality processes in the manufacture of a product.

I also use a number of other Power Bright stepdown transformers (110w and 200w) and all are equally well crafted.

I tried one of these impacts out because I have the 1/2 inch version (W7150) and compared to the SO CT4410 that I have which is 14.4 V Ni-Cd there wasn't any noticeable difference in torque, I kinda think that if the SO had new batteries I might have a bit more power. I used the 3.0ah battery that my w7150 has and it's not more powerful than the CT4410. If you don't have a cordless 3/8 impact get the IR, better priced same performance, if you have the CT4410 keep it, the W7150 is more powerful hands down than the CT7850 I have both use them everyday. It's hard to know what to buy sometimes just passing on my unbiased experience with these tools.

A little information about me, I work on cars for a living and as a hobby, I've been used to air tools but ever since I bought the IRw7150 I rarely ever turn on my compressor any more, since I already had three large IR batteries buying the irw5130 was a no brainier, though I did think about going with other electric impacts Snap on in particular had more power, and the dewalt had more "options". For me the main reason I bought the ir5130 is the batteries. The day after I got it I tried it out on a corolla, it handled 'most' of the subframe bolts, besides the lug nuts and axle nuts. It's got a little led bulb that I was unaware of until I got it(I did not do my homework on this one). I have yet to measure its potential with a torque wrench but when a rusted subframe bolt could not be taken its big brother w7150 was called into action. Its small and light enough to use hours upon hours without feeling strained( I used the w7150 for many things including batteries, and small screws that hold belly pans up twas a hassle to say the least). As of late I have noticed how much I miss the w5130 since I leave it at work, thinking I may buy another to keep my projects running on at home but have to find the right way of tricking myself into doing so. Anyways I bought mine for 303 and change, off the trucks they will run well over 500, w7150 will run 700 off the trucks. I'll stop rambling now since its 12am and exhausted from work, all I have to say is without a 3/8 portable impact be it IR's snappies, dewalt etc. my line of work would be much more laborious...Fin.

Satechi ST-2412 Car Lighter USB Charger Adapter with Smart Reviews

List Price: $29.99

Today's Bonus: 67% Off

Both charger and adapter arrived in a timely fashion. The charger itself is smaller than I expected, even from the picture, and if you are looking for a minimalist charger that effectively converts the 12v port in your car into a nearly flush USB charging port, this is it. The high-current charging adapter for tablets is also slightly smaller than the adapters sold by Edo Supply on EBay (barely larger than a USB plug), but works just as well on a Samsung Galaxy Tab, which I verified as fast-charging in my car (though I am guessing still not at the maximum charging rate, see below). The adapter is also still functional when used with other high-amperage chargers.

The only real complaints I have with this product are that 1) it only has the one USB port, and 2) the spec says this is only a 1.2A charger, though that is at least enough to get the Galaxy Tab to increase charge with the screen at full brightness and the GPS and data connections running. I eventually replaced the charger with a much bulkier one that had both a 2.1A output and a (standard) 0.5A output because I wanted the ability to charge two devices at once and maximize charging current more than I wanted the low-profile design, but I kept using the Satechi adapter to be able to get my tablet to recognize the high-current port on the other charger at all (the Edo adapters were thick enough to block the second port). Note that I am relying on stated specs for this; I did not actually perform charge time experiments on both chargers.

Wishlist: the ability to purchase the adapter separately from the charger, as it has a very nice form factor and works perfectly. A fifth star would have been awarded if the charger itself had 2A output and a second port, even if it had become slightly thicker as a result.

Bought this and an Amzer Micro USB Retractable Data Cable to use as a car charger for my new Samsung Galaxy SIII. Dont have any specs to post, but I can't tell a charge time difference between the fast times I get at home and using this unit. Perfect!

The smart converter that comes with the unit is simply a USB extender that plugs into the back of the unit. I assume it crosses/connects some of the conductor wires to simulate a different/faster type of charger. Look around on amazon and you will find some people modifying their chargers to accomplish this same task. Handy and elegant to have this available out of the box with a simple little plug.

Pros:

Fast Charging

Silver part of the unit is a heavy duty handle that swings out to pull the unit from the car lighter

included "Smart Converter" see above

cool led color changing light

Cons:

LED light is a bit bright when it turns green at night, but I dim my dash lights anyway, so thats probably just me.

Best Deals for Satechi ST-2412 Car Lighter USB Charger Adapter with Smart

I used the Satechi 2412ST adapter on an international flight in April 2012. The product is lightweight & compact and sits nearly flush to the DC socket when inserted. There's a pull-down ring (the silver piece in the picture)to assist in pulling the charger out of the socket when needed. I didn't need it, but your mileage will vary. There is a small LED light on the face of the charger (near the USB socket), and it lights up to know electricity is flowing. It's not so bright that it would be distracting during night driving (in my opinion). Nicely executed product that just works.

I used the charger on my iPad2 and (separately) my Droid 2 Global phone without any problems. The charge was similar to plugging the devices in using their natural adapters, even on the iPad2 (so I will assume the output is the 2.1 amps as stated on the product description).

All-in-all I am happy with the product. Quick shipping via Amazon Prime was definitely a plus as well.

I have only had this charger for one day, so I will update the review in 6-12 months once I see how well it holds up over time. As for right now? I have nothing negative to say about it. The low profile is near perfect, the construction seems solid for what it is, no problems people mentioned about overheating or blowing a fuse, and it looks pretty good for a $10 charger.

Now... the important parts. These points are particularly important if your smartphone has trouble with charge speed / efficiency while using a car charger:

1. 1.2A Power 2.1A would have been nice, but it's more than enough to keep up with my GNex.

2. The included "Smart Converter." This solves a problem so many smartphone owners experience. By effectively shorting the data lines in the charging cable, it puts the phone in "AC Mode." Without this Smart Converter, the phone stays in USB mode and charges vastly slower, no matter how much power your source is outputting. If you've ever connected your phone to a PC, you know how slowly it charges in USB Mode. The Smart Converter can even be used with PC USB ports and USB chargers.

I've tried other chargers that don't "trick" the phone into AC Mode and they don't provide enough power to keep up with a GNex running GPS and 4G. I tested this charger / converter combo tonight on my way home from Wegmans. Here are the results:

In 18 minutes, the battery gained 8%

The phone was running Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 4G. Screen sleep was disabled and Ingress was actively running the whole time.

That's good enough for me to be happy with this product for $10. If it fails in the first few months, I'd probably even give it one or two more tries before deciding it's junk and changing this review.

Tecmate Optimate 3 Battery Charger - --/-- Reviews

List Price: $59.95

Today's Bonus: 10% Off

I have been shopping for a new trickle charger, too many toys. I have a battery tender plus and this optimate 3. I am kind of a battery freak. I keep things charged up on a rotating basis. That is I move the charger from one battery to the next in rotation. This thing is always on.

After / before charging I always use a digital volt meter to see where the battery is at.

The desulfate / restore mode must work. I have batteries of 16, 25 and 35 amp hours that show 12.7 to 13 volts and are all 5 years old or more. the Odyssey 625's in the waverunners are 6 years old and show 12.7 to 12.8 volts still.

The 25 amp sealed lead acid battery in my Cessna is 4 years old and still shows 13 volts. the 35 amp sealed lead acid battery in my Piper is 6 years old and still reads 13 volts. Amazing, I had always needed a new battery by the 3rd or 4th year before I used this charger.

I read a lot of bad reviews of the battery tender where the unit failed. This charger gets used a LOT, and in over 5 years works like the day I bought it. The old made in china battery tender plus I have works just fine, but no desulfate mode.

Product works just as designed. Just as a note, the charging sensor is next to the solar panel. I would like it to be next to the end plug or have an option to plug one inline. I install this on the roof of my trailer and ran the cable down to the battery inside. I cannot see what status the battery is whether it's charging or trickling as the sensor is on the roof. Also keep in mind that this is solar. How do you keep a constant trickle if there is no sun at night? the next day when the sun comes out it will detect the battery and charge it like normal for a little while and then trickle it.

After a few months this item shorted out and melted. Could have easily caused a fire. Manufacturer did not respond to email about the problem. Luckily Amazon took a return but I am still out the shipping charges. Advise you to avoid this product.

This is a good product which is compromised by a shortcut in production that probably only saved a dollar or two in cost. Although the frame that supports the glass panel is solid metal, the corner braces are thin plastic. Several potential problems arise from this: First, if the panel is used for car battery charging, it will be repeatedly placed in the windshield and then removed. In a Honda Civic, this is a tight fit, making it easy to stress the panel. Strong frame corners would allow the panel to withstand greater torque. Torque or twisting force is hard to avoid when sliding the panel over the steering wheel.

If the panel is going to be mounted to a roof, the screws will be installed through the plastic corners which are too weak to handle the load of all but the lightest wind. I have not returned it because it would be good in an extended emergency, and someday I will improve the frame.

Finally, this 15 watt panel is marginal in power for all but the smallest car batteries. It is good for charging batteries of 32 Amp/hr or less and would be great (electrically) for bikes and electric start lawnmowers. Getting technical, 15 watts is not enough to prevent and reverse sulfation in larger lead acid batteries, the problem that makes this product important.

Honest reviews on Battery Tender 021-1165 15W Solar Charger

Haven't tried using this yet, don't know if it will even fit in the car. My intention was placing it in the car, but it seems to be very big to put in the windshield, luckily its a station wagon and it may do ok on the cargo floor for a few hours a day. Looks like the intention is to use it as a charging station, mounted somewhere external to the vehicle.

Currently, Amazon shows the dimensions as 17.8 x 17.8 x 3 inches, but the dimensions of the 15W panel are actually 38" x 16" x 0.875" (from mfg's website).

Also, the mfg says the 5W is for small batteries (lawnmowers, etc.), 10W is for motorcycles, etc. and 15W is for large batteries (auto).

Also, at 60", the attached cord is rather short in my opinion.

The Belkin web site and the box implies the iPhone 4 isn't supported so I passed the first time around. Since the return would be easy at a local store I tried the 2nd time. Never used one of these before and it didn't seem to work on any of my devices. None of the devices listed on the box or web site match what I have.

But, you have to know that (apparently) the iPhone/iPod doesn't send any A/V signals out the dock connector unless you start playing something music/video. Once I figured that out, ALL my devices work just fine.

I bought these after using many other units including Motorola radios .Until now i really couldnt say one was any better then the other till now. Ive hunted the same area for over forty years my favorite hunting spots havent changed nor the terrain. I hunt with my 73yr old dad so good radio contact is a must all the radios we have used did work i guess well for the most part but i never felt the contact was great we could always communicate but i always felt it could have been better. Ive been a pro radio operator for over 40yrs and ive tryed alot of bands etc. So when these came out i read some reviews and on amazon they werent favorable. But still i had to try them for myself. i bought a pair and liked the size and style after a simple program and charging we took them a field i went to my hunting area dad went to his and we tested them hands down these out performed any grms radio ive tryed and i think ive tryed them all. I think when most buy and use these radios i think they dont set them up properly on both hi and low power settings these worked great .i liked them so much i bought a second pair along with detach mics and neoprene cases this is a reliable radio and would highly recommend it to the outdoorsmans who needs solid communication

I gave this charger to my girlfriend for Christmas because she always talked about how her phone dies constantly. I was so excited and she loved it when she unwrapped it! She used it for the first few days and it worked fine. But then today, December 31st, it stopped working. You have to hold the charger cord into the charging box in order for it to work. It's really loose and it hardly keeps a charge anymore. I'm really disappointed with this charger and seeing how disappointed she was when it stopped working was terrible. I wouldn't recommend buying this product. My girlfriend is very careful with things and treated the charger very well. There's no reason why it should have stopped working so soon. I would recommend paying the extra 10 dollars and buying a stable one from best buy or another one off of Amazon. Really disappointing product.
