Hi,

Just wanted to say that I like the product and give you guys some info to help with your purchasing decision. I finally picked this one after evaluating several inverters (almost got the Duracell, I picked this one partly because I thought I read it had 2 USB ports..it doesnt, oh well). I liked that this one was small and also had a good amount of wattage for running or charging my laptop or phone while in the car. I ordered it on Nov. 23rd and it arrived around Nov. 29th. I just started using it a few minutes ago. I first plugged in my tiny MP3 player, it charged it just fine. Then I plugged in my phone's wall charger, and it charged. Then my computer, and that also charged without incident.

But I will tell you that when I plug the inverter into the DC outlet, it doesnt power on unless I press super-hard (when to begin with it was pretty much already pressed as far as it could go). But once I did, the (I guess normal) sequence of a red then blue lights came on-the light blue stays on. *This problem may have been caused by my outlet and not the inverter.*

I have read other inverter reviews saying they made a loud fan noise. Well, (I didnt care much anyway but..) Im happy to report that this Cobra inverter makes a low/subtle noise. It pretty much sounds like the hum of a vibrator, err umm, massager. :) But probably quieter than most of those. And its not a 24/7 noise (frequent, yes).

I just plugged in my MP3 player while using the laptop just to verify that it would charge both at the same time, and it did. So...so far I feel this is a good buy. *It works whether my car is on or off, but this may depend on your car. I had a car that didnt supply DC power when off, but a different car did*

UPDATE 10/19/09: The inverter fell apart a bit as of a couple of weeks ago. The tip where the fuse and stuff is, totally came apart. Fortunately, I was able to stick the tiny fuse back in and even without the metal screws (the plastic is a bit loose/broken, so it will not hold the metal pieces) it works just as it used to. Yes, its falling apart now, but getting consistent, proper fuction out of it (using it for hours almost daily for about 10 months), still makes it a good product in my eyes. I was just now at the Cobra website trying to find warranty information and it seems they have an inverter that has a car charger AND fuctions in battery form! So you may want to check that out as well.

UPDATE 11/4/09 I contacted Cobra about 2 weeks ago, asking if I could get the charger replaced by warranty and about 3 days later, i got a short simple, polite email saying that since I have had it for less than a year, they can mail a new one to me and to simply provide my address!! Its been over a week and I still dont have the new charger but its a free replacement so hey, im not complaining yet. When I called a couple of days ago to ask whether or not it had been sent, i was told no because it hadnt gotten to them from their factory or whatever. Then when I called yesterday, I was told that in the notes section, the technicial said he did mail it out about 7 days ago. The lady said she would have Another one sent out to me. So, i may end up with TWO chagers. How cool. lol I just hope atleast one of them shows up very soon. But anyway, I was quite pleased with their responsiveness and ease of getting the issue resolved...so I thought I'd tell you guys.

**UPDATE: I never got a replacement, even though it was within the warranty period. The customer service line kept telling me that they were going to mail it and when I'd call back asking about the status every couple of weeks, I was told that It was "still being processed" or that it was already shipped...Yet, I got zip, zero, zilch in the mail. Not the end of the world but I dont like laziness or dishonesty and I remember promising to give an update. Walmart usually has atleast One type of AC/DC inverter for around $25, so if you have a local one, you may want to simply try that**

I have had The COBRA CPI for about a year and it hasn't failed yet. I have used it for my laptop and it has never given problem. It makes some whizzing noise but I'd expect all of these adapters to do so. The fact that it can be tilted to an angle helps too as for my car I needed that. Great product for the price.

I have two of these for my two Battery Tender Jr's. They are perfectly suited for the Junior. I intend to buy another Battery Tender Jr. and will DEFINITELY buy another pouch. Some of reviews incorrectly say this is cheaply made of vinyl, they are actually made of water resistant nylon. I concur with the reviews that say they cannot store their extension cables in these pouches for me, the Battery Tender Jr (with cords neatly wrapped) was all I could manage to store in mine. Here's the REAL scoop on these:

1) Approx. 6" x 7" x 2" (sizes approx. from stitching to stiching)

2) Made of water resistant nylon seems to be fairly durable (piping & stitching only single-stiched)

3) Great clear vinyl "pocket" inside pouch for documentation (user instructions, etc.)

4) Double zipper pull meaning you can pull zippers from each side to meet in the middle to close the pouch.

5) Nifty little carrying strap

6) Company Name, Battery Tender Logo, & Company website silk screened on front

7) Finally, comes complete with a little white label stating this was "Made in China" but as much as I try it's hard to find practically "anything" made in the good old USA these days !!

Nice pouch, but had I known the Deltran Battery Tender Plus comes in a re-usable plastic case, I wouldn't have purchased this pouch. Usually you have to get out the utility knife to extract the "prize" sealed inside the plastic casing, but this case was really nice--it just snapped open without any cutting and you can close it again when you put the charger away. The pouch is a little smaller than I expected, but then so is the battery charger--about the size of half a small masonry brick--not car battery size like my dad's Craftsman.

Nice inexpensive bag with the Battery Tender Logo.

-Yes, like someone else wrote, you can buy a cheap bag from the store instead, but this bag has an inner zipper section for the cables too.

-It's a nice bag, and when I take my car out of storage, I put the charger in the pouch, and store it in the trunk, so it is always with the car.

-Nice deal if you can combine this purchase with something else and get free shipping.

The Battery Tender Utility Pouch is very usuable for the Battery Tender Junior. The charger fits in the pouch along with both of the charger cords. At first, when opened from its packaging, it seemed a bit thin in material, but turned out to be very flexible to get the charger and cords inserted. As a result, I can put the bag with all its contents in the tool box of the '94 Kawasaki 400 Bayou for which I use the charger for when off on our yearly elk hunting trip.

Exide XMC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 Sealed Maintenance Free (AGM) Marine Reviews

Exide XMC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 Sealed Maintenance Free Marine Battery
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
The Exide has a 24 month free replacement warranty which is unique for deep cycle batteries. This is a hybrid which can also be used for starting and would be a good choice for a battery for a boat. I bought it for a RV as it provided good power for the space and it has the 2-year warranty.

Be aware that the true deep cycle Exide Nautilus Gold NG-31 battery has a 15% greater amp hour rating and sells on average for $160. Getting a battery for $50 less that provides 15% more power is what I will be doing when these die.

People have complained about the battery being shipped all the way from California to them and its not being properly packaged and receiving it damaged as a result. My experience was a little different. I live in California and the battery was shipped across the country from Pennsylvania. The carton was designed for shipping the battery and provided 1" of protection on all sides.

The battery was produced in May and arrived with 85-90% charge so I put it on a charger to get it to 100% charge level.

It does have both the standard battery posts and 1/4" studs for copper terminals depending upon what is already in place.

-

I ordered a second battery as I wanted both the ones for my camper to be identical. Second one arrived in a few days and was in perfect condition and of recent manufacture. No idea what the problems were in the past or their causes but at this point in time Amazon has the process under control for this product at least.

It should be understood that like most "marine" batteries it is not a true "deep-cycle" battery and should not be discharged more than 50% on a regular basis. It safely provides 50 AH for a trolling motor and not the 100 AH as one might expect. Deeper discharges will greatly shorten the life of the battery. At least for trolling this still provides about 10 hours of operating power for the average 50 lb. thrust motor.

Flooded acid deep-cycle batteries are not as shock resistant and have to be kept away from sparks and flames and they need to be kept upright and periodically topped off with distilled water. The other drawback to a flooded type battery (which people experience with their car's starter battery) is that they are affected more by low temperatures and lose more of power at temperatures below 40 degrees F.

I felt it necessary to chime in on this purchase as I researched to exhaustion for the right battery for my tent trailer. Per the specs I found this to be the bull I needed for worry free reliable energy, at the best price.My battery was dated as another reviewer mentioned, but was at %80 with no sulfication. In all my research in this there is a simple truth about batteries. Heavy is good. Heavy means high lead content, and this guy weighs 80 pounds. I use battery tender on it when in storage, and run a schumacher speed charger from the generator when needed. I get days out of it, and charges right back up. Great buy with free shipping! I take off one star for the date being old, but with an AGM of this caliber not too worried.

Looked around internet and locally for GEL type batteries for my 2001 Carver 406 motor yacht and the best deal was on Amazon. The batteries I selected have comparable specs to the very expensive batteries and have better specs than most in this group 31 size range. The delivery time from Amazon was very acceptable and arrived in very sturdy shipping packaging.

I hope to get at least 5-8 years of service but time will tell.

Honest reviews on Exide XMC-31 MEGACYCLE AGM-200 Sealed Maintenance Free (AGM) Marine

These shipped out of PA to my location on the west coast via UPS Ground so it took over a week for delivery. I actually bought these for a battery backup system so I like the fact they are sealed but I bought a Moeller 042214 battery box to put them anyways just in case they leak (which was a perfect fit). The fact that they come with dual battery terminals (the main car battery size posts but also smaller threaded posts are what I was interested in). The other bonus is they have a low profile nylon carrying strap built into the top of the battery. What I didn't really like was that I ordered these in June 2012 and the manufacture date was March 2011 so they are old for being sold as new. I immediately hooked them up to a Deltran battery tender to get them up to full charge.

Works great, and looks good, and the price is much better than the ones in the convenience stores. The only reason I have a one star deduction is that it is always on, even when there is nothing plugged into it. To turn it off you have to pull it out of the cigarette lighter. If you don't it gets hot, and I'm afraid of damaging it if I leave it in.

After a very bad experience with the Griffin Powerjolt Dual Universal USB Micro Colors May Vary (that item completely fell apart when I tried to remove it from the cigarette lighter), I purchased this as a replacement.

First off, the color of this item does not really matter since you cannot see much of the color when it is installed and being used. This GTMax has yet to let me down. It charged my Razr Maxx quickly and it sits nearly flush when installed in the lighter socket.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone.. especially over the Griffin!

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Although there are some unwritten details about this alarm and it takes some getting used to, it is a very well made alarm. One neat feature that is not obvious in the manual is if the alarm is triggered and the remote is within 10 feet, the icons will flash to show a trigger, but the alarm will not go off. It "knows" you are there and the vehicle is safe. The perimeter feature and internal back-up battery (in case someone accesses the alarm and disconnects the power source) are also two nice perks. The perimeter feature will warn away someone in the vicinity, and will go off if the intruder doesn't leave. Even though it says to charge the remote daily, you probably could go at least 3 weeks without charging it. The effective range of the alarm in a city is about a quarter mile. This is my first experience with a paging alarm, and it is highly recommended if you want this type of alarm for your bike.

Honest reviews on Scorpio SR-i900R Motorcycle Alarm - New

I made the mistake of ordering this product directly thru the company rather than amazon.com. They consist of 4 employees and when you ask to speak with the owner about the rude and obnoxious behavior of the employees they pass you around the circle telling you he is out of the county. When I originally called the company to request additional information, the young man who answered the call (sales support and tech support is the same person) was rude, obnoxious and short on his answers. At times he took deep breaths and laughed at my questions ... classy company. None the less I ordered the product because of the good reviews. What I received was a plastic and very fragile unit. During the install the cover over the speaker broke and the custom connector kit did not fit as advertised. Don't waste your money on their custom wiring kit, just use the wiring kit that comes with the alarm. After I completed the install, some of the features worked while others do not. I'm extremely technically oriented (have an electrical engineering degree) and to say the product was low quality would be right on. Pick another company that is not in financial trouble and you will be much better off. I'm wishing I had gone with the Gorilla system, would have saved money and been much more satisfied. Oh by the way, unless you return any product (defective or not) within 14 days or ordering it they will not provide an RMA. Another reason to only do business with amazon.com ... and not the vendor directly.

I own a small car dealership in central Texas. The heat zaps batteries out here all the time. I saw a lot of great reviews on this battery box and that is why I went with it.

I would highly recommend this model.

Excellent product. Well engineered, well made and no frilly stuff.

Best feature is it can be charged with any extension cord, no hunting for the right wall wart to charge it. Have not used it for jump starting but the 18Ah battery should work well for a car or pickup (probably not great for a diesel). Is very handy as portable 12V power source for low to medium loads. Simple LEDs indicate state-of-charge or charging status. A little on the pricey side but not having to deal with a wall wart makes the price worth it to me.

Bought two more for the company and one for personal use. Recommended.

Best Duracell Mygrid Usb Charger Deals

Duracell Mygrid Usb Charger
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Portable USB chargers like the Duracell Mygrid Charger are very popular. I myself own a Mophie Juice Pack Reserve and it has been a lifesaver many times.

The Duracell Mygrid USB Charger allows you to carry extra power for USB chargeable devices. It comes with attachments for both standard and micro USB charging, but can be adapted for others as long as you have a USB cord.

Once I received it I plugged it into my laptop and allowed it to charge; this is why the Mygrid Charging Pad is not necessary for use. After it had charged fully I decided to test it out on my Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device first which had about half of it's battery life left. After plugging it in I could see the "charge" indicator on my Kindle light up and I left it for about an hour. When I came back to check on it, the indicator had gone from orange to green; the sign of a full charge success!

The next test (again after charging up the Duracell charger) was on my iPhone. Because the iPhone charger is specific to Apple you will need the original white charger cord to use this. This time my phone was near dead when I started the charging and because I was curious about exactly how long this one would take to charge I kept a better eye on it. Normally on the wall charger it takes about 90 minutes for a full charge. At just about 107 minutes my phone registered as fully charged and that was good as the Duracell charger was nearly depleted.

Overall I can definitely recommend this, especially knowing that there is no need to invest in the additional Charging Pad. Unless of course you would like to do so for re-charging convenience or use with several chargeable items. Because of it's compact size, this is a great "emergency" power supply to carry for your cell phone and it will be appreciated if the need for it arises.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I really did not think I would use this as much as I have. First, as others have said, I do not have the Duracell myGrid Cell Phone Starter Kit and it works just fine without it.

I own a LG Touch and get very poor reception with the device. If I need to send photos, which is a lot, it drains the battery trying to get a signal. All I have to do is plug my cell phone into the `battery' and it charges it up. Also, it comes in handy when I am out and about and not near my cell phone wall charger or near my car. I can charge my phone right in my purse!

One thing I love, I charge the battery part from the USB port of my laptop computer which I keep in the living room. I keep my cell phone charger in the bedroom. Once the battery is fully charged I can just plug my cell phone into the micro USB cable that comes with it to charge up my cell phone. Lazy, yes, but it works.

I love this device and keep it around since it is so handy. I know a lot of other devices it will work with and know I will get a lot of use out of it.

Updated on Feb 10, 2011. I wanted to add that I found the best use for the device last night. My power went out in the middle of the night and it was below freezing outside and snowing. The power was out for several hours and I was trying to call the power company from my cell phone and also my mother to make arrangements in case my child needed to be transported to a warmer location. I was on hold with the power company forever. My mother said "save the power on your cell phone". I then told her it was no biggie, I had a charged battery to plug into it just in case. I never knew how important this device would be until last night. It is a lifesaver in a power outage.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First up, What's in the box?

Duracell Mygrid USB Charger (with USB A and USB Micro ports)

USB A to USB Micro cord

USB Micro to USB mini adapter

Now, the box and even here on Amazon it says that you MUST HAVE the Mygrid charging pad to use this gizmo. Not true. Thanks to the supplied cord, you can plug this guy into any USB port on your computer or laptop or USB hub and it will take a charge.

When travelling, I've used an old 4 AA battery charger pack for emergency charging of small electronics. (Particularly of use when watching your own movies on your iPhone or iPod while on a plane.) Those battery packs aren't as sleek and lightweight as you'd hope.

So, I did my own head-to-head comparison of this Mygrid USB charger versus a 4 AA emergency power pack on a depleted iPod Touch.

-Size & weight: the Duracell Mygrid USB charger is smaller and lighter. Result: Mygrid is the hands down winner.

-Portability: I never travel without my laptop, so the Mygrid can be recharged over and over easily; without having to buy new batteries. Again, the Mygrid wins.

-Recharge time: My old 4 AA charger pack recharged the iPod 15% faster than the Mygrid. Point: AA charger

-Recharge completeness: Both fully recharged the iPod. Result: tie.

The results were about the same on my iPhone and my wife's Blackberry.

However, as one aside: to fully charge my iPhone and iPod, the Mygrid completely discharged; it was dead after charging just one. The 4 AA battery pack had enough juice to charge the iPod and my wife's Blackberry before it nearly conked out. (Yeah, after BOTH, it still had some juice... good batteries help with this!)

Overall, I'm happy with this charger. If you're bringing your laptop or one of those 120volt to USB wall chargers, the Mygrid will serve you well while traveling. It's a permanent addition to my carry-on bag.

Honest reviews on Duracell Mygrid Usb Charger

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I bought the Duracell Mygrid for my iPhone and then I was thinking what was I thinking? Kinda a silly purchase for me as I could just charge my phone via my computer or charger. But as they add more charging adapters, and I have a lot of USB devices that I charge via my computer, this is a really nice addition to the Mygrid.

Just plug the device into this charger, lay on the Duracell mat and it charges with ease. Kinda nice to charge multiple items at once ( iPhone and USB device ) on the Mygrid and I like having different places to charge my most used electronics. It also seems to charge my USB items like my Vido camcorder and my fitness tracker faster then using my computer power. Nice addition for me!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program After 9 months of use, I can confirm the solidness of this product. Well worth the money, and remember, no powergrid is needed -you can just charge it via USB on your laptop or power outlet.

I use this 1-2 times per month, and have been surprised by how handy it is. It takes about 90 min to charge from empty, and will power-up an iPhone in about 2 hours from empty to at least 80 percent battery power. I also use it to charge my BlackBerry and Kindle (micro-USB attachment is included; for iPhone, you just use your own iPhone/iPod cable and plug into the USB end of this unit).

This is hugely convenient for long airplane rides, waiting rooms, etc. It's also very small -smaller than a deck of cards -light, and easy to carry.

I absolutely love it. One of the best impulse buys I've had on Amazon (and there have been many).

I bought this mainly for the car charger. I was worried about a generic charger working with the new iPhone 3GS, as it seems a lot of these aftermarket car chargers that are designed for older models aren't compatible due to the Firewire/USB pin issue, but for the price I couldn't pass up giving it a try. I received my chargers this morning what was received was a bit different than pictured (plugs a little different in appearance) but all three seem to charge the phone just fine. I haven't used the car charger long enough to tell if the charge rate can keep up with the heavy battery usage of the GPS-dependent apps, but I'll be sure to update this review if I find that it doesn't.

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

My delivery from Eforcity arrived within a week of placing my order in great condition.

Received this rather quickly. Nice price for what you get. The car charger did not work with the iPhone 3GS. The power indicator lit up, but would not not charge the phone.

Everything else works great. The usb cable is a retractable type, which is nice because there isn't a long wire laying around on the desk getting in the way.

I would recommend this if you are looking for a wall charger and usb charger to sync with. Maybe the car charger I received was just defective, as other reviewers haven't had a problem with theirs.

These chargers DO work with the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4S running iOS 5

All three components work well with my iPhone 3gs, and I highly recommend this package as a spare set. For under $10 with shipping, this is a great deal!

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

These are stronger than they look

They are not well formed but for the price "well formed".

The copper plate is good and easily soldered when making the electrical bond after power crimping to make a mechanically strong connection. SOLDERING WIRES 101.

Best of all they are Cheap.

These things are always subject to abuse and you have a choice of wire strength or clip strength and in this case the clip might win

I purchased these to attach to the cables on an inverter for my truck. They are ok and did the job, but could probably use a little improvement. It has a very soft clamping mount to put your wire into and you're supposed to clamp down on the wire with the copper crimp, however the size of the crimp was pretty small and it's very soft so I felt it necessary to break out the soldering iron and make it a bit more industrial. Also, the clamp teeth are sort of cockeyed, but in reality it's more of an aesthetics issue and I don't think it would affect it's operation. The spring seems sturdy enough and I expect it will hold up for quite some time.

Iota products are now very LOW quality China cheap import chargers. My company has 70+ trucks using these Iota converter. After 2 weeks of being put into service the Iota converters started failing.

They are being replaced under warranty, but it is costing my company over $500.00 per truck to replace that Iota will not pay. Yesterday I learn that the replacement units are now failing as well. Iota has lots of problems, stay away!!!

I've been using the DLS55/IQ4 for about a year and a half now. So far a couple of them have failed but the factory has been great to repair them ASAP. After this last problem, they sent me a brand new one!

I love the features. With the IQ4, the batteries are quickly charged and then the charger cuts back to a trickle charge. I'm impressed with the performance... I just hope this new one keeps hanging in there.

Overall, the product is a very good value.

I purchased an IOTA charger/converter for my personal travel trailer. I have a RV repair business and I have installed quite a few IOTA charger/converters and have never had a failure. Unfortunately, the unit I installed in my own trailer failed sending too much voltage to the batteries thus ruining a new set of batteries. I was really worried that I would have a hard time collecting for the batteries, however IOTA not only promptly shipped a new unit but upon being furnished the invoice for the batteries promptly reimbursed me for the cost of the batteries. They make a good product and stand behind what they sell I highly recommend IOTA.

i had a IOTA DLS-45 that failed after 2 years, so i ordered a 55 watt with the IQ4 Smart Charger, it arrived a day early but was only a 45 watt. Amazon had a drop down window that gave you wattage options and my orders shows i paid for the 55 watt unit. This is very disappointing because i know it will be a big hassle to return it so i will just have to use it. this is the second order from Amazon that came in the wrong size in the 2 weeks.

Charges and heats fast and keeps my daughter warm when she walks to the bus stop and stuff like that. I think she has used it 30min at a time maximum, but it is perfect so far.

As the other reviewer indicated, you might want to size up. X-SM fits perfectly over shirt and hoodie and under coat on my daughter, but she is 5'2 82lbs.

Love the color and the fabric. Sizing runs small--the XL is a bit tight on me and should have been plenty big for layering. But I'll just wear it under my jacket instead of over. Great customer support from the vendor, so I'm happy with the purchase. The problem that I had to write to them about was on how to work the heater. The little instruction booklet clearly shows that there would be a little controller in addition to the battery, but there was none. The battery looked like it should control things, but I was trying to follow the instructions. So with no controller, I figured I'd just try anyway with the battery but the lights would go on and then off again, no heat. So I wrote the vendor through this site and received a reply within a few hours with exact instructions on how to use the battery to control the heat. I just hadn't been holding the button down long enough. So for those of you who buy this, once you charge up the battery and plug it into the vest, you hold the button down for several seconds (3-5) until the lights come on and stay on. Then you click the button until the lights show the right level of heat. I'll come back and report again if there's any trouble with keeping the heat on for an entire round of golf.

I can't stand being cold. It actually hurts. My back clenches tightly around my spine and I am so physically uncomfortable that the only thing I can think about in the cold is how cold I feel. This winter, however, was something different because of this vest. The only reason I have survived this cold winter is because of this amazing vest. It has changed my life! My legs and feet still get cold BUT it is completely bearable. After owning it, I couldn't imagine living without it.

The jacket works well. The battery lasts about four hours on medium or high. It also runs true to size which was a problem with others I have had.
