I have been using this cradle for a few weeks, and it does charge my HD7s. The design has a good snug fit around the bottom of the HD7s which gives me confidence it is well connected and secured, and I hit the connector every time (unlike when trying to connect the microUSB cable that came with the HD7s).

However, some negative points ...

1) the base is bigger than what seems necessary (need more desktop space),

2) there is a strong blue LED on the front of the base and a red LED on the wall transformer, I know these don't consume too much electricity, but my HD7s tells me if it is being charged, I don't need another light in the room at night (nothing some black electric tape can't fix of course)

3) I cannot unlock my HD7s while docked; it's as if the screen is being tapped or something, but the password screen scrolls back down after I enter 1-2 of the #'s from the pin code. This is bizarre, and I can only attribute it to a back connection at the cradle (good enough to charge, but unstable to interact with the HD7s while cradled), and finally

4) The cradle of course has a microUSB connector for the HD7s (and most new Smartphones -except iPhone), but because of the plastic holder designed specifically for the HD7s (a good thing), I can't charge my wife's Android (it doesn't fit *on* the cradle) -No problem! I just unplug the cable from the cradle and .... it's a miniUSB plug!?!? I think BoxWave had a few thousand USB-to-miniUSB cables lying around and decided they would use those until stock ran out. I can't believe the designers would have a miniUSB plug at the end of the USB cable when the phone it is built for uses a microUSB.

I would not buy this again, but not worth the trouble sending it back, as it does charge my phone (but that's about it)

UPDATE May 2012 After updating my HD7s to the 8107 firmware, all of a sudden I can unlock and use it while on the cradle (pt #3 above) -therefore a phone/firmware issue rather than a cradle issue on that one -I am increasing my rating by a star! You know, I can now say I *would* buy this again, since I set it and forgot it, it does it's job well!

Great product to keep those batteries charged on your chasis. Only negative I see is the inline glass fuse holder and fuses that are sent with the charger for installation. I look at those as out dated and getting harder to find so I replaced the fuse holder with a spade fuse holder. Other than that works great, easy to hook up and is keeping my batteris maintained on my chasis.

Honest reviews on ECHO CHARGE for 12V & 24V SYSTEM

I had previously had an Echo Charger installed on our motor home and it got damaged due to wire corrosion. I

must have got it wet when I sprayed water over the batteries to remove the dust from the batteries and compartment. Trying to find were I could find one, I went on Amazon and typed in battery chargers and brand name from the old

one and placed the order and arrived very promptly.

Had the new on installed and it works like a charm. Wouldn't be with out it.

After being assured by Gomatic that this would work for my Razr MAXX, I bought this to use while traveling overseas in various countries. First tried it in London light is on, but phone not charging. Same thing in France. I was really peeved and wrote Gomatic the moment I got home. They immediately contacted me and suggested I double check the connecting cable. I did and found that I hadn't snapped it into place all the way. Duh. Once I did that and plugged in the American end, it worked fine. I'll take it with me to Asia this summer, and I expect it to work perfectly.

Best HDE Battery Alligator Clip: 12V DC Cigarette Lighter Adapter Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $14.99
Sale Price: $2.60
Today's Bonus: 83% Off

This device solves the problem of running electrical appliances through your auto cigarette lighter when their amperage exceeds the fuse on your lighter. Your cigarette lighter runs through a fuse with a specific amperage. Exceed the amperage -blow a fuse. Use a higher amperage fuse -risk melting the delicate wires and shorting out your car's electrical system. The heavy-duty tire air pump I bought kept blowing fuses until I bought this device that works as promised.

The clips are (just barely) big enough to grab the battery terminals. The plastic wraps around the clip handles that prevent the battery from shocking you are cheap and thin and should be reinforced with electrical tape. That done, it works well (and for prolonged use keep the car running to avoid draining the battery).

The price was great so I bought one for my wife's car and one for my car. My wife's works great. Mine worked great for about 2 weeks and then went dead. It may be a fuse blew in my accessory panel I don't know. For the price its worth a try.

After Hurricane Sandy left us with out power for 4 days, we wanted a product to use in our car to recharge our cell phones. I went to ATT and they told me they no longer made the adapter. Decided to try Amazon and found one that looked like it would work with my pantech phone. It was the right price, but alas it wasn't compatible with phone.

Discount CTEK Multi US 4.3 Battery Charger

This is the best charger I have ever used to maintain the Battery in my play vehicle (Corvette). Some times this car is not driven for a few months and I have gone through sevral cheap trickle chargers and even a "Battery Tender" but none of them have the technology to properly test and maintain the Optima in my Corvette. I would highly recommend this Item to anyone who wants the best.

This Charger is exactly what I wanted I have 3 Deep Cycle Marine Batteries to Store for the winter. I have hooked these batteries in parallel and It maintains all three at once to the exact battery voltage for extended periods of time. It goes through 8 steps to constantly read and communicate with your battery, charging only to its direct needs and therefore avoiding any possibility of incorrectly charging the battery. Furthermore, by ensuring the battery is conditioned as well as charged, your batteries last significantly longer. Moreover, each CTEK Smart Battery Charger regulates and maintains voltage to protect any sensitive electrical and hi-fi equipment. Now that's smart! Very Highly recommended

The packaging was good, and the unit arrived without damage. I hooked it up to an oscilliscope to verify the waveform, and then tested it with various loads (resistive & inductive) and appliances up to 4200watts (briefly). The unit held a good sine wave throughout all the testing, although the voltage dropped a little (from 120.4V to 112.0V) at the high output, which is normal. There is a slight distortion in the wave as it passes through the 0-volt point, but well within the

The first time I used this wall charger, it did exactly what it was supposed to do, which was charge my iPod. Even though it doesn't seem relevant, I enjoyed the little blue light on the face of the unit. After using it, I unplugged the charger and set in on my desk. The second time I tried to plug in the charger, no lie, I noticed the electrical prongs from the charger itself were still in the wall outlet. Yep. When I unplugged the charger, the metal prongs broke off and stayed in the wall. It happened so easily that I didn't even notice it had broken until the next time I tried to use it. The most fun part about it was trying to find a useful rubber or plastic tool to pull the prongs out of the outlet. Yes it will charge your iPod. Yours may not break. Mine did. Luckily, Belkin seems to have pretty good customer service and warranties, so they are replacing the charger for free. All I have to do is pay to ship the defective unit to them :)

I originally purchased this product as I was traveling outside of the US and wanted something lightweight that I could use anywhere for both my iPhone and iPod as a recharger. This product has more than met my expectations. It is extremely lightweight to the point where I can slip it into my pants pocket, go wherever I need to go, and use it. I use this at home to keep my phone charged next to my bed, and use it to quickly charge my iPod when I'm not near my computer.

Note that the USB-to-device cord is only for recharging your devices; you can actually connect it to your computer, however, it will not transfer files, just recharge your device.

Charger works, USB cable doesn't. So I use my own cable.

I read the reviews and it seems this Belkin unit works "great" if it works at all. And if it doesn't work people are understandably unhappy. I didn't return mine, I just threw out the cable and used the one I got with my iPod. Works fine that way. I figure I lucked out in that it was just the cable that was bad. If the whole thing was bad I'd have to return it for a refund. Too bad they don't just sell the wall wart without the cable. We wasted a bit of time trying to figure out what was wrong.

Probably wouldn't wanna buy Belkin products again. I can't see why poor quality control wouldn't be the norm in all their other products.

Reviews of 5 Volt Polycrystaline Solar Panel

Customer Ratings:

Ok so it isnt the cheapest pannel of this type and size that you can get, you already know that.

so what is different about it? how well does it work?

Unlike some other epoxy covered PCB mounted solar cell items this one is much lighter, it is not a thick coat epoxy style.

this makes it much better for portability.

when weight is important this mid sized multicell pannel was a good choice.

and if your worried about it getting scratched, you can put a very thin piece of vinyl on top (often sold at the wallymart for a few bucks for a whole yard) that will cut output about 5-8% and makes it impervious.

the one i got speced out correctally, the array in there doesnt waste a lot of space , like some arrays with too much gap between cell items.

I put this one on top of a GPS device with an acrylic hinge, and connected a diode and a protection curcuit to use it to charge a oversized battery in the unit. it now forms 3 functions.

1) charges the unit. if it sits inside on the window sil and catches a bit of light, the unit is now self sustaining for minor use. If i put it outside it could fully charge the FAT oversized 5amp li-poly cell in 2 days of brutal california sun. If i go walking with it in the sun, it runs the gps unit non-stop forever :-)

the hinge allows it to be aimed into the sun, and to shade the battery/unit.

2) caps the screen, via the hinge when i close the unit up it is now the top cap covering the screen. not the most durable cover i could put over the screen , but the most funtional one :-)

3) Is a Sun hood , or shade, so when gpsing in the sun it keeps the unit charged and the sun off the unit at the same time.

connections on these were at the "ends" of course to get power off the cell items, and the back of the PCB there is foil traces bringing the power to the Center of the pannel for a good location for connection.

probably be good for solar charger , and solar car projects and lots of other stuff you can think of.

lightweight, still good quality glass cell items, assembled at the voltage as speced.

that about covers it. It did not dissapoint.
