I was skeptical at first to buy this as I didnt know it would fit and was at such a cheap price. But it fit and has saved me many times from a dead phone battery. Awesome product for the blackberry!

The retractable charger is very convenient and fits in my car like a charm. I love the design of it. HOWEVER, it charges my galaxy s3 so slow that it's hardly even useful. Using turn-by-turn navigation in my car with it plugged in actually made the battery go DOWN 1% after an hour because the charging cannot keep up with the usage. But, if you drive a lot and don't use your phone while driving, those extra few percentages could be helpful.

If you need charging quick, not recommended.

It was a bit of a struggle to open the tomtom after removing (6) screws using very small torque screw driver bit but very easy to replace the battery once opened. This stopped blowing the 25amp fuse in my car when plugged in and I also get a full battery charge again when using the home AC outlet charging unit. A lot cheaper than buying a new GPS.

This is a great compressor. I need something I can use to air up my tires after airing down to go off-roading. It only took 5minutes to fill up my 31"x10.5" BFGoodrich all terrain tires from 22PSI to 37PSI. 5 minutes for 15 PSI means it will only take me 20 minutes to fill up all 4 tires after a day of off-roading. Since you can set the pump to shut off when the tire reaches a designated PSI you don't have to sit or squat by the compressor to keep an eye on the PSI, you can just set it and let it work until the jobs is done. When filling up the gauge will jump up and down by .5PSI, don't worry that's normal, it just means that the PSI is below X0.0 and above .5. The compressor is also quiet, it does not vibrate allot, and everything you need for it is on the unit itself.

This inflater is fast to air the tire. I previously have some 20 some bulks 12v inflaters, and they all took too much time to air the tire around 35 psi. This one is much quicker, and I think that it is almost as fast as the one in gas station.

The build quality is also better than other inflaters I used. The valve part is all mental, and this is the part that cheaper inflaters use plastic.

It is coming with needle to air sport balls.

It is also coming with accessories to air the air mattress or something alike.

I have porter cable 18v tools already, so the battery opreation brings lots of convinience. If you do not have porter cable batteries. Do not buy charger and battery alone, buy some porter cable tool set instead. You will find some tool sets are cheaper than you buy charger and battery indivdually. Research and caculating, and you will undertand what I mean.

Best Deals for PORTER-CABLE PCC583B 18-Volt Inflator (Tool Only, No Battery)

Bought this item to inflate tires, water toys, boat fenders and in inflatable boat. Has done what I asked of it quite well. Good features include the easy conversion from high pressure to high flow because there are two separate hoses included and the ability to preset a desired pressure where the unit quits. I do wish it had a 110 volt option. I did not buy the battery pack or charger, but I do plan to decide if I need this portability later. The $40 purchase price is very reasonable, but the battery and charger add at least another $100 dollars unless you already have another PC tool with an 18 volt battery pack!

Honest reviews on PORTER-CABLE PCC583B 18-Volt Inflator (Tool Only, No Battery)

I really like the feature that lets you set the pump for the pressure you want then just turn it on and it stops automatically when it reaches the desired setting. This makes it very convenient for keeping the tires on my suv at the right pressure for optimum performance.

Keep in mind the the battery and charger are sold separately. In my case this isn't an issue because a few years ago I decided to standardize on the 18 volt Porter Cable tools so I already have three chargers and half a dozen batteries that came with other tools.

Cheap Three-Way Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter w/ USB Port

Today's Bonus: 85% Off

I had multiple problems with this.

First, one of the first things I tried to plug into one of the outlets went in too far, to the point where it wouldn't come out (the springy metal parts that compress when you insert something apparently went in so far that they released on the other side of the sleeve, making it impossible to retract), I ended up needing to break the thing to get it out. Subsequently, using the outlets that still worked, I've been afraid to push things in too far, and maybe that's why things often pop out a bit and I need to re-insert them.

Also, I intended to use the USB port to power some speakers, but it was useless for that because it put a horrible noise into the speakers.

So... it basically works... but you need to be sure not to over-insert things, be prepared for things to pop out on their own, and don't use the USB for an audio device.

UPDATE: Even if you push things good and solidly, they often pop out. The final straw... last night, when I pulled the connecting piece out of the car's lighter socket, that whole part of the assembly fell apart, it's various pieces scattered over the floor of the car, and I never got it back together.

The product is what I wanted, except it isn't a tight fitting for some things like my cell phone chargers. They wiggle around in the socket and sometimes pop out and/or don't get a good connection. The USB port is the main thing I wanted so that works good I guess, but the 3-way wasn't so good.

Honest reviews on Three-Way Car Cigarette Lighter Socket Splitter w/ USB Port

This appears to be the same as the VR3 item of same appearance which I bought about 6 months ago. It was great while it lasted because my Dodge pickup has a little "cubby" slot that it slipped into so I didn't have the problem of projecting adapters to bang my knee on or interfere with reaching the ignition key. I could also stuff the excess wire from outlet to device out of the way.

The USB slot was particularly beneficial because it took a small computer light which was helpful for map or other reading without a lot of ambient light in the cab impacting driver night vision.

Having three DC outlets was great: cell phone, GPS, and radar. I suggest these are the minimum power accesses any vehicle should come from but a few more would be helpful for laptop and cooler. But it needs to be engineered to handle the load or draw.

Mine worked very well for about six months and then quit. Don't know if it (1) just failed or (2) somehow a "short" was inadvertently created by contact across two outlets or (3) perhaps it is just marginally able to carry the load when all outlets are in use. Hence, my middle of the road rating.

Note: The VR3 product does not seem to be available at this time????

I did read a lot of negative reviews about this product. I have a few things to say here:

1. It is a cheap product. What else do you get at this price? To think you will get a great thing at this price makes you cheap!

2. It is to be handled a bit delicately. If you try to push or pull device plugs too hard, it can break.

3. I would say, the best way is to plug the devices and leave it. If you are too scared about your GPS or iPod and above all car break in, then just unplug the device. don't unplug the plugs! I do that and I leave all the plugs there itself.

Conclusion: It works absolutely fine. I have now used it for a month. The splitter is in my car and powers my GPS, iPod and charge my blackberry also without any problem. Yes, I always leave the plugs of GPS/ipod and the usb of bb plugged in and hence it is not disturbed at all. Maybe if I plug it a 100 times it can malfunction. If you want to do that there are some 20 dollar splitters that can work for you!

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.

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.

It was easy enough to put together after a few logical tries, since the instructions were not great. There are just a few ways to do it wrong and one way to do it right. So it only took a half hour. I somehow felt mislead, that this would charge my auto jump starters (500 amp, 12 v) that I use for light and USB ports when the power goes down. All I got it to do was run its own inverter. That hummed, but didn't power anything, not even a teeny electric clock, but then again maybe you are supposed to do that from a charged battery, to be fair to the manufacturer. They could have given a lot more info considering this is not a cheap system. It was not a dark day, but not the brightest either. I tried it over two days. I later dug up on the web, (not their site!) that it may charge some small batteries in a reasonable time, but not these Stanley or Duracell type battery backups/jump starter/power stations, via the 12V attachment they provide, unless they had weeks and weeks of direct ideal sunlight. So if you want it to charge small things, go for it, it was kind of fun putting it together I have to say, but it went back. It was a good intro though, I think I just need many more watts, maybe 300+ to do what I wanted it to do. The problem is those are very pricey. I was disappointed. I wish before you buy, they would have a list stating how long in good sunlight it takes to charge various different type batteries. It would save a lot of returns. None of them seem to do that, they just show pictures of them hooked to batteries, leading you to think maybe a day or so would do it. I am sure this is good for small batteries or ipods, cell phones, etc. so didn't give one star, but gave just two due to lack of real time charging information before ordering. Like approximately how long for a rechargeable AA battery, how long for a cell phone, how long for a marine battery or backup battery.

I bought this "kit" thinking that it would be complete and easy to set up. Turns out neither was true. It has no battery although I was led to believe from the package it did, as it has a drawing illustrating use with a battery. There are no specifications as to what type of battery you must now purchase.

The kit appears to just lump together various pieces as the individual connectors do not match.

I probably would have been better off buying individual pieces.But as a homeowner novice I assumed this was designed for people like me. But really it dupes people like me.

Also, the support for the panels is very insecure.

To use this I now have to find out what battery I need and purchase this then pay someone to connect the electricals as the instructions are so vague.

I really am disappointed with a brand name like Coleman, which made me purchase this trusting in the brand name.

Great setup for battery charging. I am constantly amazed at the level of knowledge some of the purchasers display.

This is a very small solar array with about 4 amps output @ 12 volts. If you are lucky you will get at most 5 hours of full output per day which translates to about 20 amp hours per day. Do your math that is a 2 amp draw for 10 hours.

This will take 5 days to charge a 100 amp hour battery if you do not run anything else at the same time. There is no free lunch in the solar world. This might work to power small led lights or simple communications equipment with very low amp draw. Quality is good and the voltage regulator has adequate high voltage settings for agm batteries.

Honest reviews on SUNFORCE PRODUCTS 58050 55-watt Solar Charging Kit

I purchased two of these units to recharge the batteries for my travel trailer when we are in remote areas so I do not have to run the generator all the time. They provide about 3 1/2 amps charge to each battery. I have them on a longer cable so I can park the trailer in the shade and place the collectors in the full sun. They will not run the microwave, but they are not designed to. We still need the generator for 120VAC items, like the microwave, etc. but have to run it much less than before. It would be nice if they came with a storage box, but i just built one out of plywood and it keeps it all together and safe. I would like to get more when we can swing it. The quiet is nice.

Review of T&J World Rearview Mirror DVR with Double lens Dual Swivel Camera

Customer Ratings:

6/27/2013

Overview

After a few weeks of driving with this item, I have a few problems with it. As posted before, I want to have this running 24/7, which it does..normally. I've gotten in to my car a few times, with the power still active on the car adapter, but it was off. Turning it on, put it back to it's recording state again. The next time it happened, I tried turning it on again, and I was greeted by the welcome screen and then nothing. The recording light was solid (not recording), and I could not get the display to come up and turned it off. I let it sit for a bit while I was driving and turned it back on again. This time it came up and started recording. This happened once more, and I believe it was overheating. I live in Pittsburgh, which by no means is the hottest city in the world. Those two particular days it was in the low to mid 80s. I will upload a rainy condition video today for all to see.

Video Quality

I've had a little bit of time to assess the video quality, and I would call it a little bit below acceptable. If I'm about 15 feet from a car I can read it's license plate. The video recordings that I get right now are 1280x480, with both cameras on the screen. So, that would be 640x480 each. I get anywhere from 20-30 fps with both cameras recording. 640x480 in my eyes is a bit underwhelming, however I believe it will work for any legal standpoint.

In the videos you can see that when it's raining, it is near impossible to see anything out the back window in the video.

Mounting

The mounting on the unit is also acceptable. I had a friend drive my car and said it fell off. He is a particularly aggressive driver, so making fast/abrupt turns will probably yield in the device coming off your mirror. I never had a problem with it coming off, as I'm not really an aggressive driver. However, I will probably end up modifying the device if I plan on keeping it to make a more solid mount.

Also, make sure you mirror is tight on the ball joint it is mounted to. This unit is somewhat heavy, and my mirror with gets knocked around due to its weight. It is fine when the drive is smooth, but when bumps come in to play I find myself consistently adjusting the mirror. Not really the fault of the unit, I just have to find a way to tighten my mirror.

Videos Make sure you put on 720p

Rainy Conditions City Driving Review

6/12/2013

Overview

I received the shipment promptly, well packaged. The box contains everything that was expected. I installed it on my mirror in my car and turned it on. I was greeted by a start screen and a start up noise. It then showed the dual video in the middle of the mirror. I went to use the manual, but the instructions are not well written and reference buttons that don't exist. I was able to fumble my way through the menu to set it up, except I could not get to the next menu. I decided to let it go while I test the quality of the camera. I decided I want the camera to record 24/7 in case anything decides to do anything to my car. You can have it turn off and on with the car by keeping it on a circuit that is switched by the ignition. I will post a video of various parts of my trip once I get to it. I have a very varied commute. I come from almost rural to very dense city, going through tunnels, in between tall buildings, and finally in a parking garage. So, the video should be very well rounded. I will get a night time video when I get the chance.

Screen

The screen is in the middle of the mirror, so if you have it on you can only see in the rear on the sides. Good thing you can turn it off! There is also two light indicators on the right of the screen one is red (top) and one is green (bottom). I noticed when the camera is recording that the green light flashes. I hope this won't be a distraction at night.

Mirror

When the screen is turned off (by pressing the down button), the mirror works very well during the morning hours. Have yet to test at night, but it seems like it has a polarized material on it.

Rating

So far I give the product 4/5.

1. When it was connected to the power the first time, it froze at the welcome for 10 min. The only reason that I waited this long was because I thought it needed to be charged. But it was not responsive to any key I pushed. Finally I have to push the reset to make it work.

2. I recorded like 20 sec on my 16GB card just to test it. The next day, when I turned on the unit, it said the card was full. I have to delete the file which was less than 16 MB before it can work again.

3. The audio is horrible. You will hear constant static noise in the background and the voice it recorded is distorted beyond recongnition.

4. The plug that directly connected to the unit has its metal part exposed by at least 2 mm which is not only a safty harzard by any standard but also prevent the mirror to be set properly. You have to plug it to the upper side of the unit which could stuck to the ceiling if you have a small car. I will upload a photo later.

I didnt test vedio quality of the unit but the view angle seems ok. I like the concept of this product but it is really poorly constructed.

AccuPower AP12243 Car Adapter for IQ328 Battery Charger Analyzer Review

List Price: $17.95

This charger works great with the La Crosse Technology BC1000 battery charger. It is nice to have a way to charge from a 12 volt power supply.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The AccuPower AP12243 Car Adapter is designed to power the AccuPower IQ-328 Battery Charger Analyzer from your vehicle's 12V/24V cigarette lighter outlet. There seems to be some doubts on whether it can also be used to power the La Crosse BC-700 or BC1000 chargers. Here is to put all the doubts to rest...

I have tested the IQ-328 and compared it against the BC1000. The input power requirements for both charger units are exactly the same. Each charger unit is powered by a wall unit (AC-DC adapter) that is rated for input of 100-240V AC, and output of 3V 4A max. I have even swapped their power adapters, and found absolutely no problems.

The IQ-328, just like BC1000, uses pulsed charging current at 25% duty cycle. That means when charging one cell at 1000mA (1A) setting, the charger outputs 4A for 0.25 second, then zero for the next 0.75 second. That's why the peak-current requirement of the power supply is 4A, even though the average current is 1A for each cell.

In the case of BC-700, its maximum charging current is 0.7A. So the required peak input current is just 2.8A. There is no problem in using an adapter rated for higher current capacity.

Bottom line is: The charger unit cannot tell the brand of the power supply used. At long as it receives the correct voltage and current required, it will operate correctly. That's why you can use this same adapter to power either the IQ-328 or the BC1000.

Important Note:

This adapter should NOT be used with the La Crosse BC500. The charger unit of BC500 accepts 12V DC input. Therefore all you need is a pass-through cigarette lighter adapter with the same 2.1/5.5mm barrel plug.

Honest reviews on AccuPower AP12243 Car Adapter for IQ328 Battery Charger Analyzer

I should qualify my 1-star by stating that my irritation isn't aimed at the product itself the adapter looks like it is well made and most likely delivers the voltage and current that it claims to. I haven't hooked it up to an oscilloscope to look at the output YET.

My problem here is that the adapter was marketed either by Amazon or by the seller as being for the LaCrosse BC1000 charger/analyzer. It *might* even work for that purpose, but checking with LaCrosse, I got an email back from their Customer Service that says:

"With regard to the following from your email: "If you could look further into the AccuPower Car adapter or please refer me to a car adapter of your own for the BC1000"

Unfortunately, there are no car adapaters that can be advised for use with the BC1000 as it is intended for home/standard outlet use. Our BC500 model is designed with car use in mind, and can also work at home. Again, with regard to "AccuPower", we have no information on that brand. You noted a BC800 and information attained from an Austrailian source. There are variant models of our product that are produced for areas outside of North America. The BC800 would be one of these. Thank you."

Obviously, somebody somehow somewhere made a connection between this adapter and the LaCrosse equipment *apparently* without bothering to ask LaCrosse. That's a bad idea without some coordination there could be issues with the adapter causing damage to the charger and from a warranty perspective, such use probably voids the warranty.

A side note: The AccuPower charger/analyzer that was listed, IQ328, sure looks a lot and by its Owners Manual, operates a lot like the LaCrosse BC1000. Considering the way that so much consumer electronics 'comes from the same factory with different names on it' who knows, they could come off virtually the same assembly line. I have run into cases where this is literally true with some Amateur Radio equipment.

If anyone has any verifiable knowledge of this being the case with the LaCrosse and AccuPower equipment, please follow up to my review and we can check back with both LaCrosse and AccuPower customer service and try and nail this down with regard to using the car adapter.

This seems to be like claiming that putting your phone in a plastic case will open Google Maps. So why is this 'feature' is advertised on the product box, yet there is no mention of it in the product user guide. This feature does not seem to exist.

Worse still, the side of the box shows a picture of the dock, with an arrow pointing to the back of the dock where the thumb-tightener is, boasting a wonderful:

"Integrated Micro USB Charging Port"!

Where is this "integrated port"? There is no such port. What there is, is a standard cigar charger cable bundled loose in the box. How is a loose cable "integrated"? How is a regular micro-USB charger plug an "integrated port"?

What it feels like is Samsung designed this product, then realized how bad it was, so made up some lies to put on the packaging. Sadly the end result is a very unhappy customer, and Samsung guilty of false advertising.

Even worse is although the thick plastic is matte, it is a reflective matte, so it reflects up onto your windscreen, obscuring your view of the road. Great! Hey Samsung, ever tried driving in a sunny place like LA with this thing?

Finally, the beveling joint has an extremely small range of motion, so much so that I could not find any suitable location in my car, except one that left the phone screen facing the ceiling. Unbelievable.

Do not buy this product, you will be sorely disappointed. I recommend the Nexus S Active Dock from ProClip, which does have a real, actual, "integrated charging port".

Granted, the word "Dock" in the title is wrong. It is not a dock but a holder.

As a holder, it is excellent. It firmly sticks to the window but still comes off easily if you flip the lever. There's a knob that you can turn to unlock the plastic part that embraces the phone to adjust its orientation. The knob is in convenient position and you only need to turn it a bit to unlock. Once locked, the whole thing is rigid and holds the phone reliably. I have another holder where the mechanism is not that good and slowly follows gravitation and you have to readjust every 100 miles or so. Not so with this one: I used the Nexus S as GPS device for thousands of miles and this holder fully satisfied me.

The plastic part that holds the phone has another lever behind to release it. So you can take it off and it works like a protector for your phone. I found it to be very comfortable to do this. It does require some practice so you until you're able to get it off because this lever is somewhat obstructed. If you know where it is it works very well.

The only thing that sucks a little about this holder is when you try to take the phone out of it. There's yet another lever that's supposed to let the phone come off easily but that's a bad joke. I always end up prying open the two edges at the phone's top. This works OK, but you need two hands and it's not an elegant, quick movement. Also it requires some practice so you don't push the buttons on the phone or touch the display.

For less then 20 Dollars this is a definitive buy.

Best Deals for Samsung Nexus S Multimedia Vehicle Dock with Car Charger Adapter

Works well as a mount, the design of the base is a nice way to hide the suction cup latch means. As a plus it does include the power supply. The dock doesn't offer any charging connection like certain docks do (think Nexus One or some of the Droid branded docks from Motorola) so you'll have to plug the power in each time. But for $18 or so it's not a bad deal.

The main thing I don't like is that it's hard to get the phone in and out sometimes. Might be the way you have to hold it but I've yet to get it to go smoothly, essentially you're snapping the phone in to place in the dock.

Honest reviews on Samsung Nexus S Multimedia Vehicle Dock with Car Charger Adapter

The box clearly states that the phone will go into 'car mode' when docked but it is absolutely not the case! I understood this from reading the reviews before buying but it's still a damn shame.

That said it suctions great on any flat surface, the phone is held in tightly and it's not too difficult to pop in or out. Wish it was a little more integrated like actually putting the phone into car mode and having the connectors for charging and audio actually be part of the holder so I don't have to manually plug it in and out every time but it works.

I have a Sprint Nexus S 4G phone. The mount is wonderful. Extremely easy to get the phone in and out. The phone does not vibrate while in the mount. Unfortunately, Samsung screwed everything up by including an under powered car charger. The Samsung car charger has a power output of 700mA. When the phone's GPS and WiMAX radios are on at the same time the charger can't keep up. I used Google Navigation for a short 5 mile trip. The phone's battery level dropped from 96% to 82% while plugged into the charger. This phone requires a charger with a minimum power output of 1,000mA. As if Samsung's false advertising on the box about the mount's capabilities wasn't bad enough.

Discount The Multi-Media Desktop Charger will charge your battery

Customer Ratings:

The LG Ally I have is WOEFULLY short of battery life: it runs down in partial day increments. The only way to fight this is to have a docking station that allows you to keep the charge and use it. This does a good job, and, as a bonus, can attach to your computer to backup those files that everything accumulates and which are more pricey than any repacement phone: numbers, addresses, and notes. I have one for the car (I take long trips weekly, and navigation wears down the battery fast) and one for the office. Really think about getting two.

I bought this for my LG Ally so I could dock it while working on my computer, and have a nice place to update it. Unfortunately, its dimensions do not have any give to allow for a case for the phone. I have a soft/hard plastic case and with it, the phone is too big to use the docking station. I honestly have been meaning to use this docking station, but because of the inconvenience of having to take the cover off, I just haven't really used it.

Bottom line: works great with LG Ally without a cover.

Works well. I bought a second one for the office. Keeps my phone charged and use it for an alarm clock.

Honest reviews on The Multi-Media Desktop Charger will charge your battery

I bought this in order to put on my nightstand for charging my phone at night. IF I didn't have a cover on my phone it would have worked just fine BUT because I do it now won't fit. I'm not going to take the cover off every time I want to use the stand so it goes into the pile of this could have been a good idea. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. So many people these days do put covers on their phones and I think that should be taken into consideration by the manufacturer. They would have only had to make it just a bit bigger to accommodate the phone with a cover.

So I bought this because 1) it could do 6V and 12V and 2) it had a digital display for voltage and percent charge. It chooses automatically between 6 and 12V fine. The display however, seems quite off. The voltage is ~0.2V off vs a multimeter, but to be fair the resolution is only 0.1V so its hard to say exactly how off it is. The percent charge, which I was most interested in, appears way off. I had a 6V motorcycle battery that sat all winter, read ~3.5V before charging. I hooked it up, on the slow trickle charge setting recommended for small batteries, and it read 90% state of charge to begin. The SOC rose quickly to the high 90's, where it sat for quite awhile until fully charged. I understand there are a lot of battery types and sizes out there, so this may be hard to calculate, but I thought everyone should have a proper expectation about it. I like to monitor this type of information, which is why I elected for this model with SOC display (I didn't really need the 12A). Now I wish I would've just went with a more basic model.

Other Good:

It does kick out automatically to a maintenance mode once fully charged, and automatically start charging after a power loss.

Other Bad:

The fan is loud, and there is no on/off switch (you must unplug it). Also, while charging, the display switches between the SOC and the voltage setting(6 or 12). It would be more helpful to see an actual real-time voltage instead of what setting it is on. To check voltage status with the unit, you must abort charging and put into testing mode, then go back to charging.

This charger is fully automatic and will charge and maintain all types of 12 volt batteries. It also has a small footprint to fit into tight spaces. The only con is that it is rather noisy at times.
