The Boulder 15 Solar Panel is most often sold with the Escape 150 battery pack (the Coffee Maker looking battery), such as in this "kit". The advertisement above says to expect to fully charge the Escape 150 battery from empty charge in about 15 hours using the panel. When I bought the two together I charged the battery to full and then ran it down to empty. The next morning at sun up (I live in the California desert mountains . . so I'm high above the haze layer and have 100% crystal blue sky and sun) so I faced the panel directly at the sun for 11 hours solid. At the end of that time I was knocking on the door of 80% power (75%??) according to the battery charge indicator, and took the next day for another 3 hours (total of 14ish hours) to get the Escape 150 fully charged. Recommendation: if you're going to run the Escape 150 down to empty during the day/night (for laptops, etc.) then you'll need two (2) Boulder 15 solar panels (daisy-chained) to fully recharge the battery the next day. NOTE: Also, I did run the battery to empty off 3 of their LED lights (which are outstanding at 207 illumens 3-watt, "Light-a-life" as they're called). Manufacturer states to expect getting 16 hours of light (with 3 lights daisy chained). I got 17 hours 10 minutes with the Escape 150 battery.

Absolutely love Goal0 and recommend it to my friends that hike, bike, ride, and boat.

Brought this out while primitive camping out in Joshua Tree National Park for 8 days. We had 2 DSLR cameras, 2 iPhones, 1 ipad, 1 laptop, 1 GoPro camera and never ran out of power. We charged the Pack up with the Boulder 15 Solar Panels during the day while we were out climbing and would charge all of our electronics at night and would still have 20% charge left over.

Obviously when hiking in several miles to set up a base-camp every ounce counts. The panels and battery pack fit perfectly and easily into my pack with my clothing and honestly, I forgot I was even carrying it.

I don't mean to sound dramatic but having portable power has become life changing. I planned on only spending 4 days of my vacation in the woods doing video and night photography and with the constant power available I was able to constantly dump and edit photos and charge batteries and edit time-lapse videos with out worry.

I highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys time away from the grid, but still enjoys the convenience of electronics.

I also bought the Nomad 7 and charge that right on my backpack, or on my car dashboard depending where and what I'm doing.

We took the battery to England to use for my husband's CPAP machine during the night. We were on a canal boat and the power was turned off during the night. Therefore, we charged the battery during the day. It worked really good though the battery lasted for only 5 1/2 hours before needing to be re-charged. We were concerned about taking the battery on the airplane but had no problemd taking it through security as a carryon piece.

Honest reviews on Goal Zero 29005 Escape 150 Adventure Kit

I purchased this little power pack locally. Included the LED lamp and solar panel. This thing is SO useful. Not just for camping, but for an out of juice camera battery just grab it and go and charge whatever you need while you drive. It's small and not nearly as heavy as my marine battery with converter. I just love this thing. I never lug around my marine battery anymore when camping. You can plug stuff into it via a regular 2 prong outlet, 12 volt outlet, and usb. I have yet to have to recharge during a weekend. It's perfect for keeping air circulating in a tent or camper via a 12 volt fan. AWESOME. I'm going to test the limits in terms of how long it will run til it quits and test various appliances ...

I like Goal Zero products. I don't know much about solar electronics devices, and what is nice is that Goal Zero makes it easy to just plug things in and they work. I also like the ability to replace the battery of the Escape 150 in the future once the original battery gets old. I like also that the Goal Zero solar panels are well built and are smaller in size than cheaper types of solar panels, making them more portable and less fragile. But there is a price to pay for that convenience and for the smaller size panels. Goal Zero products often are more expensive than other products, but then again, with competing products you have to know exactly what components you need to purchase together to make things work properly.

These Goal Zero products work well for folks with limited electronic knowledge, but be aware that the battery within the Escape 150 is fairly small and therefore limited in how much it can charge. Batteries are nothing like a power generator. This can run low power lights from Goal Zero, and can charge multiple cell phones and small electronics well. However, with a full charge it can fully charge only two completely discharged iPads at most. The solar panel does work if there is strong sunlight, but you will likely need additional panels if you want to fully recharge the battery in less than a day. In western Washington, the dreary winters are too dark and the days too short to quickly charge this battery back to full. It would take several days to charge with one panel, or at least several more linked 15W solar panels to restore its power during very dreary days. But as a back up battery that you can charge first at home and use on a short car-camping trip, or for short-term power outages, it would work fine. This is not a robust power system for extended power outages, or to run medium power electronics for long times. The weight of the battery also is not recommended for backpackers. Use lithium type batteries when backpacking instead, since they weigh less (although they are more expensive).

As a suggestion, for folks wanting portable lead-acid power batteries for short-term use, cheaper options are out there. These also contain inverters with AC outlets, DC outlets and often USB outlets too. Check and compare under "Portable power" and "Powerpack" batteries from the automotive categories on Amazon before purchasing this product. These competing products may be able to jump start your car battery too (although some are heavier when they have more power capabilities). Goal Zero has similar higher capacity products, but these other products may work as well for less money.

I got one of these a few years ago when they first came out and now we own three and keep them charged at all times so we can grab one on our way out the door if anything (in our case, Iphones and Ipods) needs charging. We also take them on trips so that we can each watch a movie on the plane and not end up with a completely drained Ipod or Iphone when we arrive at our destination!

Wonderful product!!!

One side note, Power Monkey also makes one with a digital readout letting you know how much charge is left that is a particularly useful feature my old one has it, the purple ones do not.

First things first, the picture show the Tracer Charge Controller, yet the title said "Renogy 40 Amp MPPT Charge Controller." Well, I needed a 40 Amp Charge Controller and I want the Tracer charge controller, so I bought this to see if this is really a Tracer 40 Amp Charge Controller even though it said "Renogy" and it is in fact sold by "Renogy." When the package arrived, I was so happy. This product is, in fact a Tracer 40 Amp Charge Controller, the same type as this

SainSonic MPPT TRACER 3215RN Solar Charge Controller 30A 12V 24V EP

The only difference between that charge controller and this charge controller is that this is a 40 Amp charge controller (can hold up to 500W of PV for 12V or 1000W for 24V).

The price is just right. The 30 Amp charge controller is around $180-$190 and this 40 Amp is $210. I plug in the PV and battery cables and everything works great. The only thing I haven't checked is the lamp DC output. There are different work modes for the lamp DC output but I don't really use it. I basically bought this charge controller because it's 40 Amp (I can expand on it), it's MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and the price is right. Here is the summary...

Pro:

Fair price

MPPT technology

Con:

Poor manual

Too large (the dimension is pretty large and it's at about 2 pounds)

Sometimes the charge controller thinks batter is full because of high voltage

We purchased the JNC300XL about a year ago to power a camera system we were developing for a truck. We needed 12Vdc vehicle power while in the lab and in the field for testing off the vehicle. It charges quickly, holds a charge for months and is light and compact. Last summer my wife called to say she was first in a left turn lane on a busy expressway and her car stalled and would not start. I grabbed to JNC300XL where it had set for months without a charge and off I went. I connected it to her battery and it provided plenty of power to turn over her fair sized V6 engine and start the car. The nice thing is it was a quick hook up. I wasn't in the middle of a busy road trying to get my car close enough to her car to string a couple of jumper cables. It is great for powering gadgets that normally plug into a cigarette lighter for power. You unplug the "flashlight" on the front of the unit to access the cigarette lighter plug. As with all batteries it should be charged every several months to keep the batteries from becoming un-chargeable. Since it is a sealed spill proof lead-acid battery like a car battery it does not have a memory nor will it be damaged by being topped off once in a while. It will die if left discharged for a long period. The manual can be found at

I already had a JNC 660 for my truck and wanted to put smaller units in each of our cars. I bought 3 of these, then 2 more for Christmas gifts. They are easy to use and much more dependable than the cheap imports with lots of whistles and bells.... I prefer the larger unit for my dodge 1500 with a V-8 (I've jumped it 5 or 6 times between charges without a problem... electrical trouble...) This smaller unit is great for our Toyota 4 cylinder cars and Chrysler Concorde with a 3.5 6 cylinder. These beat the heck out of jumper cables, and my daughter and wife don't have to ask strangers for help... or wait for AAA.

Changing my 1-star review to 3-stars. I purchased this unit but it wouldn't start my 1997 Land Rover Discovery V8 -at least not by following the standard directions. I spent over an hour with it over two days trying to start the car but it simply wouldn't turn over. This said, I was able to start the car using jumper cables connected to another vehicle, and AAA was able to start the V8 with a similar but larger portable unit. I finally called Clore Automotive Technical Support at (800) 328-2921. First off, they were super nice. They suggested that the JNC300XL may or may not work with a V8 truck, that a larger unit might be required, especially if the truck battery were completely dead. AAA had been out several days earlier, tested the Land Rover battery, so I knew it was OK, it was just low.

The Clore technician asked how I was connecting the unit. I said I followed the instructions, connecting the red lead to the red battery terminal and connecting the black lead to a non-moving metal engine part. He said, "There's your problem. You should connect both cables directly to the battery. They tell you not to do this in the directions, to avoid sparks, but it's what you need to do." I tried it and the Land Rover started instantly. So, it works and looks like this unit can save me in a pinch. I will keep it in my car from now on. I only wish the instructions included this extra bit of information, or what to do if the car fails to start following the standard instructions. If you have any issues, I'd recommend calling Clore Support.

I spent 2-3 hours on-line looking for what I needed. A Battery Jumper: 1) not too much money, 2)would help me start my car immediately...This accomplished both needs. This is the cheapest, most reliant item. Ignore the Black&Decker item. I read too many bad reviews.

I used this one 5 times (within 2 months) before I took my car into the shop to correct the REAL problem ---My real problem: I bought a cheap replacement battery.

I wish all cars had auto shut-off feature so that it turns off the headlights and all electronics (except for door lock), so that if you forget to turn these off and remove the key, it wouldn't be sucking power off of your car's battery. My Mercedes would turn off the headlights and all electronics but my Honda would not. Having been spoiled by the Mercedes, I often forget to turn off the headlights and interior lights on my Honda, resulting in a dead battery.

Since I bought this jump starter, fortunately I didn't have to use it because I never ran into a situation. But just yesterday, I had someone walk up to me as I was proceeding to get into my car, asking if I had a jumper cable. I told him I had more than just a jumper cable and handed him this jump starter. Five minutes later, the guy came back very happy and told me that it worked on the first attempt.

Even though I had charged it almost 3 months ago, it worked on the first attempt which is reassuring. I didn't want to write a review of this product until I had tested it and now I am doing it because I do think this is a great product and can save you a lot of hassle. Please make sure to take it out to fully charge it every 3-4 months so you don't end up with a dead battery AND a dead starter.

***Update 09/04/2011***

Just to give you update, I have been using this product for more than a year now. I only had to charge it once. Its internal battery is just amazing if you're only using this for a quick jump-start every once in a while. I have used it at least more than a dozen times and it has always worked flawlessly. I last charged it several months ago and it still shows that the internal battery has enough juice to go on (two green LEDs).

Even after using it for more than a year, I am still raving about it. This purchase was well worth it and it has saved me a lot of time since I bought it.

Discount Belkin Car Charger with 8-Pin Lightning Cable Connector to USB

List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $14.00
Today's Bonus: 65% Off

Even without any reviews here, this one fits the bill for me. After reviewing various Lightning chargers from Griffin, Kensington, and Belkin, I chose this one for a some key reasons.

2.1 AMP OUTPUT: This ensures I have the maximum electrical output available. FYI: 2.1 amps multiplied by 5 Volts DC = 10.5 watts, but labels will only show 10 watts

COMPACT SIZE: This fits in a vehicle 12 volt socket well and protrudes only enough to get a good grip to pull it out with your fingers. Some products were unnecessarily long or bulky; I prefer simple.

REMOVABLE USB CORD: Instead of a hardwired connection, I have the versatility to swap out the Lightning cord with a USB to micro USB cord for my wife's phone or the USB to Apple 30-pin connector for the iPad. If you find nothing but the Apple OEM size of lightning connections fits with your phone case, you can buy this same item without the cord for less $ and use your own cord. Search: F8J051ttWHT (color white) or F8J051ttBLK (color black)

NO RING OF LIGHT: So many reviewers of products complained about the light ring feature being a distraction. This model features a simple round green LED light that is not much brighter than the console button lights in my car. I ended up twisting the light to the 3 o'clock position where the USB connector blocks my direct line-of sight to it. If I wanted to, a small piece of black electrical tape would cover the LED completely and easily since it is away from the USB connection. This is the 1 feature I valued to prefer it over the Belkin # F8J090bt04-BLK, which has the same power output and small form factor.

Is it cheap, no. But would I rather spend less and give up some these features.......no. I would have bought the version of this product less the 4' cord if a good coiled cord were available(I didn't like the Griffin coiled cord). Thanks for reading!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The iPhone wall outlet chargers are super-quick at charging. I have gone from 30% to 90% in about an hour. You get used to that kind of speed charging and this 2.1 AMP car charger give you exactly that! Initially, I scoffed at the price for these high AMP chargers and bought a 1 AMP car charger. Since my ride to work in less than 20 minutes, I would probably get 10% more charge off the 1 AMP charger, but with this 2.1 AMP charger, I manage to juice up about 25%. The really cool part of this charger is that I can pull out the USB cable and continue charging my phone via my laptop USB port.

The charger is well-designed and has a robust construction Apple worthy! The charger sits flush with my power outlet with just enough of it popping out to get an easy grip for removal. The charger does not have any edges, it blends well into the dash with only the distinctive green bezel being highlighted adds a little color to my drab dash. I also love the new low-profile negative (outer) terminal design. No more accidental snagging and ripping the terminal out of the charger. It also helps with a smoother insertion and removal from the power outlet.

The lightning connector is well designed and fits most cases without any issue (check images above)

Pros:

* Solid feel to the product. Well built and sturdy parts charger, cable and lightning connector

* Included USB Lightning cable

* Slim profile charger that sits flush and does not get in the way

* Fast charging almost as fast as a wall outlet charger. Approx 2.5 hours for a full charge

* Well designed lightning connector fits most cases without any issue

Cons:

* Pricey at $35 but not too expensive at current market rates for a 2.1 AMP charger with a reliable, detachable Lightning cable

* The charger has a Green LED that remains on when the charger is connected. It seems inefficient to power the gremlins. I have old USB car chargers that turn-off when a device is not plugged in, light up Red when charging and Green when fully charged I paid less than $10 for those chargers

* For a car, I prefer a coiled cable like this one, just keeps things compact Griffin Tech PowerJolt SE Coiled Lightning Car Charger for iPhone 5, Touch 5G, Nano 7G

Honest reviews on Belkin Car Charger with 8-Pin Lightning Cable Connector to USB

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The car charger I was using before this was the Kensington K39224US PowerBolt Micro Car Charger for iPad, iPhone and iPod, including iPhone 4. Since I upgraded to the iPhone 5, I only had to buy a Apple Lightning to USB Cable to keep using that one, which is 2.1 amps, like this one by Belkin.

After using the Belkin, I would say it is comparable to the Kensington charger, but it already comes with a Lightning to USB cable, so that may figure in one's comparison of their prices if one doesn't already have a cable.

In a 30 minute drive, my iPhone 5 increased in charge from 50% to 89% using the Belkin, for an average of 1.3% increase in charge per minute. This seems comparable to my former charger.

Either product is excellent, and the fact that they can charge any of the Apple products quickly, assuming you have the proper USB cables, is convenient.

I bought this with the slim travel charger, and both have the same problem. Previous reviewer didn't indicate that they had problems with it, so maybe I'm the problem. I'm a fairly savvy electronics user, and I don't see how I could be screwing up the process of -plug the charger into working DC jack, plug charger into phone-.

Yes, as noted in previous review, I slipped the piece of plastic off, the charger plugs all the way into the phone.

When the charger is only plugged into the DC jack in my car, the LED shows a steady green, but when the other end is plugged into my phone to charge it, the LED blinks red. I'm assuming that's a power issue.

Just got this charger recently so I haven't had a lot of time to evaluate it. I like the fact that it is waterproof as some other brands of marine chargers I looked at were not. The charger seems well made and works as advertised. I know some people have taken issue with the fact that the charger switches banks every 5 minutes when charging but this seems a better situation to me than a typical 15 amp, 3 bank charger that only gives each battery 5 amps max. I say this because during the initial charge the batteries will accept the full 15 amps during the five minute sequence and that should help with mixing electrolyte and desulfating the plates, while guarding against heat and boil-over. The Schumacher has true 3 stage (bulk--adsorption--float) charging and the overall charge time seems at least as fast as the typical 15 amp total, 5 amp per bank charger. All in all I am happy with this charger. I have another Schumacher that is over 30 years old and still going strong. While that kind of reliability may be an unrealistic expectation, it makes it all the more likely that this charger will end up being an outstanding value.

Internal cooling fan makes god-awful noises right out of the box (lots of starting/stopping, speeding up/slowing down), which I can live with... but the evidently cheap little fan was not up to the task and died within a couple of months. Pulled it all out of the boat, sent it back under warranty, reinstalled the repaired unit, and, guess what... the same thing happened. The case never gets hot so I just ran it with the non-functioning fan. Kept all three batteries topped off OK for a couple of years.

Now I get a red indicator saying one of my batteries is bad. Removed the battery and had it checked at the parts store. Battery is fine. Swapped the charging leads among my three batteries and the charger now says ANOTHER battery is bad (the problem is with the #3 bank in the charger). Doesn't seem to be charging on the third battery now. I don't have time for this crap. I'm just going to pull it out and go with a different unit (Minn Kota maybe).

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.

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.

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.

Review of Side Terminal Adapter (Set of 2)

Customer Ratings:

If you have a side terminal vehicle with a bad battery and you have a good top terminal battery, this set will solve your problem. The battery on my Chevrolet S-10 went tango uniform; but, I had an almost new top terminal battery. Ordered this set, received it 3 days later. Voila, she is running again.

This charger is a rip off it's so slow at charging you might as well not have one! I drove with it for 1 1/2 hr and it just barely got a tiny charge on it!! Wasted my money for I lost the receipt and can't return.

Honest reviews on Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) Mobile Smartphone (Tangle Free)

This little charger adapter works fine and the cord is long enough to reach from my console to my Galaxy Note on the dash while I'm using the navigation. The only drawback so far is the cord retract button is small and a little difficult to reach.
