We are full time RV's. Charger is lightweight and easily fit into the tight space in our RV. Installation was simple and easily used the existing wiring. Charged and maintains our 2 12v batteries very well.

Replacing an older linear 25A unit, it fit right into the available space, and could use entirely existing wiring.

If using stranded main output wire, you might want to crimp on a ferrule, as the (hex-key, not slotted or phillips) 8-32 screws that secure the wire (max. AWG 4) will tend to spread stranded wire; with solid copper this won't be an issue.

From box-open to installed and running took less than 1 hour, mostly hooking up the fuse block (see other reviews).

The Charge Wizard blinked contentedly to itself for about 48 hours, connected to my 2 Marine deep discharge batteries, then went to float. So far I haven't noticed the cooling fan running (at 30A or less). The output seems to be 13.2 VDC, with ripple under load below 120mV according to my DVM.

Best Deals for Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 45 Amp

I bought this unit on the recommendation of two friends who use them in their RVs. They just bought the Charge Wizard plug-in units because their existing inverters had the capability built in, but my old charger was a "cheapy" that put a constant charge on the battery and shortened it's life. Haven't had it in the trailer long, but so far it works great. When I first hooked up this unit it even partially brought the old battery back to life, but ot was too far gone, so I bought a new battery. Since we use our traler infrequently, it is very important to have the battery properly charged. A new battery might only last a year or two at best without the Charge Wizard. My friends batteries are pushing 5 years. Another advantage is that when I fire up the generator out in the boonies the battery will get a fast charge automatically while I'm using the microwave or air conditioner. It was easy to hook up, and of course Amazon's low price and free shipping didn't hurt either.

Honest reviews on Progressive Dynamics PD9245CV Inteli-Power 9200 Series 45 Amp

Replacing the power converter/battery charger in a 1985 Shasta travel trailer. The old setup was 30 amps which is plenty for the minimal power needed, but this 45 amp was priced to beat, so we went with it.

We did have to do some Gerry-rigging due to the age of the old setup. We didn't replace the circuit breaker box, so we had to make some adjustments to get things hooked up with that. We also kept the individual fuse setup from the old system and that took some extra maneuvering.

This converter/charger is working great. It charges the house battery without issue. With ac hookup, we can run everything at once with no blown fuses/circuits. With battery power, we can run the water pump and lights without any issue (before, we never could get the lights to work on battery power).

One note: when inserting the wires, be very careful how much you loosen the screws. They don't unscrew all the way out, and if you unscrew them too far, they move out of alignment and strip and once that happens, there's no fixing it without taking the entire thing out and apart. (We ended up using electrical wire to overcome that little mistake but not before trying to fight it for ages).

If you're replacing a newer setup, it should be a very easy process. If you're replacing an old setup, you may need to work a bit harder, but it will work great.

Reviews of New Trent Arcadia Rapiduo (1 pc), 10W 5V/2A Dual Port high-speed

New Trent Arcadia Rapiduo, 10W 5V/2A Dual Port high-speed USB car charger w/ Free Full Speed Micro-USB Charging Cable
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I am chronically looking to charge my devices, yet one thing is in my car, I really do not like to clutter up the DC/cigarette port. I have found that the adapter that allow me to plug in regular AC adapters or the dual cigarette port adapters to be heavy, awkward, and even once shorted out the fuse to the cigarette port in the car. And I have difficulty finding storage in the glove box for those large items, and the cords, etc.

So, I was pleasantly surprised to find a device about the size of a thumb with two USB ports. It fits smoothly into the cigarette port, and two blue LEDs illumiinate the ports (they do not change colors once something is plugged in). So, began my road trip, charging my IPAD2 and using my Droid Bionic with the GPS ongoing (with the extended 2700mAh battery inside--like I said, I keep running out of juice!).

After about two hours of driving, the IPAD2, which was not used during the trip, charged about 20%, the Droid bionic improved about the same while using the GPS, bluetooth phone calls at times, with the screen at a fairly high brightness and the volume on high. The square end of the device stayed cool, the end inserted into the car was slightly warm, but not hot. Again, the small size was a big plus, as I found it easy to slip into my glove box with the respective charging cords, using very little space. I am impressed by this seemingly simple, yet elegant design. They did a great job by keeping it small and slim, elminating the bulkiness and the thickness of other DC adapters. And with almost everything going USB, I think this will save me from purchasing other adapters.

This charger has serious design defect. It didn't short the green and white sub-cable (#2 and #3, data) in the charger itself, instead shorted in the cable. You have to use the included cable to have AC charging (>0.5a). Other usb cables without shorting #2 and #3 sub-cables will only has USB charging (0.5a), which will not charge your phone at all if you have GPS or music on.

For those who can't return but still want the 2A charging, you can peer open your cable, and connect #2 and #3 together in the microUSB ends, leaving #2 and #3 open in the USB end. If you are geeky enough, you can also flash a ROM with quickcharge softMOD.

I'm so tired of this. This is another one of those things that only delivers 1 A per port. The 2 A are for both ports combined, but this purchase is useless if your device needs more than 1 A.

To make this clear: using my Android phone with this charger it is still *losing* charge while using navigation. Can be a bad surprise on a long trip.

It's not that this is very expensive and Amazon accepts the return just fine, but it is still very annoying because now I have to wait for another round turn of

Honest reviews on New Trent Arcadia Rapiduo (1 pc), 10W 5V/2A Dual Port high-speed

My car is an Acura TSX and the space for the charger is recessed into the center console and not very large. At first I was really worried that this charger couldn't fit with both cords attached. But I was wrong, it fit, even in the very tight confines of my charging port perfectly! This will be super handy for our road trips or even just around town when we both need to charge our phones, or if she needs to charge her Kindle Fire or my Asus Transformer Prime after watching movies. The charger feels solid and well made in a day and age where most things feel like they will fall apart if you breathe too hard around them. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who has lots of charging needs in the car. Also perfect to hook up to my Evo 4g to listen to music via my phone in the car without killing my battery!

Allows you to charge both devices at the same time.

Angling of the USB cables is perfect for both driver and passenger

LED Lights are nice but not really required.

Charges fast -no difference noticed between home and this charger.

Cons

LED Lights should have been next to the USB plug however its not a must.

I would recommend this to anyone especially with the price if phones today you don't want to be using a cheap product and then notice your phone doesn't work.

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

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.

Best Deals for Cobra Walkie-Talkie microTalk CXT425 22-Channel Two-Way Radio

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.

Cheap Macally Battery Pack with Speaker for iPod Video

Macally Battery Pack with Speaker for iPod Video
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
MacAlly's versatile new PowerTune is the best $50 U.S. iPod accessory ever. As a case, its rigid plastic is snug and secure, with full access to iPod dial and headphone port, but not on/off/hold switch. The speakers are tiny with midrange emphasis, but with enough presence to keep you entertained or informed by whatever is playing on the iPod under most listening conditions. Charging is efficient and almost effortless, with enhanced built-in battery capacity for your iPod. As a stand, PowerTune is stable, with sensible positioning.

Speakers and charging indicator light are on lower front of PowerTune. Volume control, mini-USB port, and off/charge/play switch are lower rear. A clear front plate with circular hole hinges at the bottom and snaps shut at the top, onto the black rear business-end of the case. An iPod slips into a 30-pin dock connector that is just above the speaker section. MacAlly provides a self-adhesive foam shim to fill the gap between PowerTune's black inner back and an iPod's silver backside. Fit is snug, without much wiggle room.

There is not a lot more to know. You can play or charge an iPod with or without the assistance of a computer, or external speakers or headphones. PowerTune fits into most front pants pockets, or nearly all tote bags or purses. Indicator LEDs notify you when charging is complete. Syncing or recharging PowerTune via the included USB cable is straightforward.

Audio playback via headphones is easy as pie, as is operating an iPod's click wheel controls. Playback from the built-in pair of 500mW speakers will leave you wanting more robust audio delivery, but will certainly satisfy most buyers who know value when they see and hear it. Rotating PowerTune's clear front plate forward and underneath allows you to set it down on a table or desk with both screen and wheel exposed.

PowerTune's full set of features plus four photos are located at its web site. Wear and tear will blemish the clear screen protection area, so be aware of where and how you handle and carry it. I worry the plastic top snap will erode, and suggest that MacAlly redesign that aspect.

I am not going to test how much extra power PowerTune's 1050mAh Li-ion battery provides, because there are too many variables to that equation, but its built-in battery can only boost and not diminish and iPod's battery capacity. "Approximately doubles" is MacAlly's claim.

The company does not include any written or website instructions for PowerTune, which is a mistake I've mentioned to MacAlly. You can expect to have additional information available by early 2008.

MyMac.com is fond of MacAlly's ingenious PowerTune, and we give it a high recommendation. With many more positive features than flaws or omissions, we rate it a strong 4 out of 5.

Best Deals for Macally Battery Pack with Speaker for iPod Video

I bought three of these for our video ipods last August. We travel alot, and my boys can be pretty rough on the ipods. I liked the idea of the extra battery life, and the stand (we are so bad, that we often take these to restaurants to keep them in their seats long enough-horrible people we are). The speakers were an extra bonus. Well, I originally got these for our summer trip to europe and they performed very well for the first 6 to 10 charges. I have to say that I was charging them with a power inverter and probably at least once a day. I liked the indicator to know if they were charged, and they gave extra batter life to the Ipods. Great protection in the carry-ons, as well. However, after about 6 to 10 charges, one started to suck the battery from the Ipod, and didn't give any extra life. Then the second started, and now finally all three fail to hold a charge, or function for anything other than case and stand. It's too bad, because I like the multi-function potential.

The Leviton EVB22-3PT was an extremely easy self install. I ran a dedicated 12awg with a 20 amp double pull to a 6-20R prograde receptacle in my garage. The station mounts to the wall by two options: 1) Purchase the Leviton EVK02-M Evr-Green Installation Kit for Home Charging Station (EVB22 16A, 240V) for a complete kit. 2) Purchase your own receptacle for $5 and use the top screw & bottom screw holes to mount to the wall. I decided to go the cheaper route and it works great.

When you first plug the unit in it will go through a test cycle. This takes approximately 5 seconds to complete and you will see a solid green power LED. My Volt does not recognize that it has been plugged in as quickly as it did with the standard level 1 that came with the car but it is not more then a 7-8 second difference to get the chirp.

The charge time is substantially faster then with the level 1 at 12 amps. The purchase price may seem high but is well worth it for the 3 year warranty and convenience of a faster charge time.

TLDR; A great buy!

It's a plug and forget device. No buttons to push, no timers to set. Cord is a little thick and heavy. All settings are done in your car, and if you set it to charge after hours, the CAR tells the charge when to start.

I have had the unit for 4 weeks now and it performs well and without any issues. Installation was straight forward and performed by a certified electrician.

As you consider buying a unit like this think about the length of the charging cable that goes into your EV. I would buy more rather than less as it gives you more flexibility on where you can charge the EV.

Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Leviton EVB22-3PT Evr-Green 160 3.8kW Home Charging Station, White

I've had this charger for about six months now and it's worked perfectly. I have a Chevy Volt and was eligible for the $499 "Voltec" charger from SPX/Bosch, but I've read horror stories about its famous (un)reliability. Further, the Voltec was 15A instead of the Leviton's 16A output.

The Volt can only pull 15A but I presume my next car will have a faster on-board charger and so the extra amp means an extra 0.5kW being fed into the battery pack, which is a useful amount (15% more power).

The three year warranty of the Leviton was also a nice perk. Many of the other chargers on the market require you to use their own contractor at a hefty price to qualify for the longer warranty. Not so with this Leviton.

There are two downsides:

1) It's hideous. Seriously. Really ugly.

2) The little lip that extends to hang the charge nozzle on is oddly-shaped and doesn't stick out far enough. I've never had the nozzle/cord fall off of it but it always seems like it's juuussstt about to.

I'd buy it all over again. It's really really well-made, has never given me any grief, and is guaranteed for a long time.

The plug in cord sticks out a little far and prevents the charge cord from sitting neatly on the hook. Additionally, the hook for the charge cord needs to be longer and curve up more to hold the charge cord.

I bought this three months ago to use in a BR where I have a small JVC component system. Set up is simple you power up the dock using the provided power supply, connect the dock to the auxillary input on your stereo and away you go.

The one warning I have is to make sure you turn the "DOCK" volume all the way up using the supplied remote (the Kensington remote controls the dock and the ipod). After the volume of the DOCK (and Ipod) are all the way up, use the stereo remote to control your listening volume and for other stereo functions if desired. If you don't do this you may think you're not getting any volume/power from the stereo dock.

In short, it sounds great, looks good, and is perfect for my needs. Higly recommended.

I read the review left by a previous poster that said the supplied remote controls volume for both the dock AND the ipod volume, he said make sure both are up all the way and then control the volume with your stereo but he didnt say how to adjust the volume on the dock. If your Ipod is docked the remote only controls the ipod volume. So before you insert the ipod aim the supplied remote at the dock and push the volume + button on the remote. It may seam like nothing is happening but this is adjusting the dock volume. Then once youve done this for a while and you're certain the volume is up all the way (there's no way of telling what the volume setting is so just do it for a while) Then plug your ipod in and push the volume + button to turn your ipod volume up. The manual doesnt say anything about this so I'm not giving it 5 stars but other than this strange volume setting is figured out it works great and looks good.

I bought this item thinking it would work with my iPod, that's what the item discription says (iPod, iPod Mini, iPod Nano or iPod Photo). After receiving the item and hooking it up to my Onkyo receiver, the sound was terrible and the included remote did not work. I then further examined the instructions it stated that it was only compatible with: iPod Mini, 3rd generation iPod (15, 20, 40GB), 4th Generation iPod (20, 40GB), and iPod Photo 40GB.

My suggestion is if you have a 30GB or 60GB iPod, look elsewhere.

Honest reviews on Kensington 33164 Stereo Dock, Charger, and Transmitter for iPod

The Kensington stereo dock, a nicely styled and engineered iPod accessory, conveniently does the double duty of connecting your digital music library to your stereo system while at home,and simultaneously recharging the iPod battery for the next outing. With the audio transfer through the dock connector, the sound quality is uncompromisingly excellent. One notable downside that I discovered is that with the earlier, non-clickwheel iPods, functionality of the Kensington's Remote Control is limited to volume adjustment.

I got this for Christmas along with a Logitech Harmony 520 Universal Remote (5 STAR must have!!!). I had my iPod hooked up to my receiver with a simple y-cable (available anywhere) but if you do that a lot it becomes quite a pain to have to get up out of the chair to skip tracks, etc (I know lazy so-and-so!).

I was all set to return it as I couldn't hear it unless I plugged the cable directly into the iPod and bypassed the unit altogether which seemed like a waste! That is until I read the reviews here about adjusting the Kensington unit's volume by using the supplied remote controls volume up button without the iPod dockedWOW that did it!! Only comment is that you need to point the remote at the dock (with the iPod undocked) for about 30 seconds to ensure the volume is at max. Seems like a long time but works great when you then dock your iPod!! As mentioned in other reviews 4 out of 5 stars only because the only way you would figure this trick out is by reading the other customer reviews here!!

I have both of these items, and they work as promised. I first mounted it on to a Kawasaki ER-6n motorcycle and it worked fine. The suspension was pretty smooth. But later this summer, I traded that in for a Harley Sportster 883 Iron. I mounted the power supply and ran the wires easy as pie. Then I mounted the GPS holder to the handlebars. If you know anything about Harley Sportsters, they aren't known for their plush ride. It rides rough, and the handlebars vibrate a lot, but the mount held up just fine. If it can handle that, it can handle anything.

I bought this for my motorcycle handlebars and it worked great for about four rides then broke between the swivel ball and bar clamp. Now i purchased a RAM mount and it works much better,far more robust design.

This was easy to install and works as described. The only caution I would other is what model it fits. I have the Nuvi 50 and although the description says it works the backer to hold the device was for older units. The only saving grace is that the bracket can be swapped with the one from the car. I went on a 4 hr road trip. No issues at all

This really helps for use when I travel and use it for long periods of time transcribing genealogy writings that I cannot copy or request.

The Olympus DM-620 is the best of the best; however, it does not come with an AC charger. Now I am no longer dependent on my computer or another USB source to recharge my recorder batteries. This charger is compact and features a folding AC plug which makes it easy to store when traveling. I would recommend this charger to anyone who currently owns or plans to purchase an Olympus DM-620.
