A prime selling point is the internal technology it's designed to handle high startup loads for longer than most inverters. Note that a common load nowadays laptops and electronic equipment (which use their own transverters) have a high capacitive load. Power tools usually an inductive load. So you need an inverter that won't trip out while most modern (i.e. non resistive) loads start.

For my wife's van 3 laptops and a Wii is common. For my truck for various power tools. My trusty 400W would no longer reliably handle the load. Esp at startup without a plug which in first dance.

Don't look for cigarette lighter adapter it just won't work for 800W. They're common with 400W inverters but won't reliably supply them either (12-14v x 15 Amps is about 200 watts). And even your cigarette lighter wire is usually undersized (read not for continuous use at fused amperage) So don't ding any high power inverter over cigarette lighter adapters it's a simple technical requirement.

To handle the load, I'm running new fused power wires from the battery through the firewall to the dash.

Note one trick on running wire run two 10 gauge wires instead of one large one for each polarity. Just be sure each red/positive is individually fused at the battery and the you can tie them together at the inverter (each wire is self protected safe and both together supply needed current). This is a common trick used by HAMs and others. Much easier wire to work with and fuses (up to 40A) are standard automotive fuses and holders.

Here's a link to that wiring trick (or search for "most practical powerpole size for 700 watt inverter")

I use this power inverter to power a laptop, webcam, and video camera while storm chasing. The only problem I have is the USB slot. It will not keep up with a smart phone, at least with everything powered up and charging. I fixed that issue by adding a small extension cord.

Really this inverter works pretty good. Keep in mind you're getting what you pay for. If it's cheap, don't have overly high expectations for a product to last 20 years. Mine is used and abused as it sits in the floor of my car. Passengers kick and step on it all the time and it continues to function.

All in all I thinks it's worth the purchase.....

This power inverter is awesome. So, you are reading this waiting to find out what that one thing is...it's the stupid fuses. Whistler decided it was a good idea to put them on the inside of the inverter instead of making it easy to replace them on the outside of it. But wait it gets better. They are soldered in which makes it a PITA to replace. The reviews say they don't blow easily, unless you are an idiot and hook the pos and neg up backwards. Then you deserve to spend the time to re-solder new fuses in. But seriously this is an outstanding inverter. I have already used it a bunch of times using drills, sanders, and a dremel in the first week of getting it. Other websites give a description saying it comes with 6 foot cables but thats combining both which are really 3 feet each (pos and neg). The terminals are on the wimpy side but who cares, this thing kicks butt. I wish it came with a digital display that shows the watts, volts, amps, etc like the larger units have. Its a perfect size and has the tabs on the base to mount it to whatever tickles your fancy. Don't expect it to come with the cigarette attachment thingy. Its too big and will blow your vehicle cigarette outlet fuses. Most people assume the mid size inverters come with it. They don't. Get over it. Just use the alligator clamps and throw it on your battery or be a man and hard wire it into your rig. Buy it right now.

Edit...I just used this inverter to power a small George Foreman Grill! The cables got a little warm so keep an eye on them. Mmmmmm grilled cheese sandwich!!! What else can I run on this thing?!

My husband is currently deployed, and I let his car sit too long and the battery died (oops). Well, we had been meaning to buy one of these for awhile now, because it's always good to have something like this and not have to rely on strangers. I decided that now was the perfect time to buy one. Especially since my husband's car was in the garage and I didn't feel like pushing it out in order to jump it.

The unit arrived in the mail and I plugged it into the wall and charged it for 24 hours. It notes that you shouldn't charge it for more than 48 hours, because it can get overcharged and break. It was neat to note that it has slots for plugging in other devices and even a USB port. I suppose in chase you lose power, you could use this to charge a cell phone or something. Also has a flash light on the front, which helps if you're needing to use this on the side of the road one night.

Well, I have never jump started a car before... never even seen someone do it. I read over the instructions, checked my vehicle's owners manual, just to make sure that my car battery was "negative grounded", and then attached the red positive cable to the positive part of the battery, and the black cable to a metal bolt on the car. It did spark when I attached the black cable, which was a little scary for me. The instructions said to leave attached for 3-4 minutes. I left it on for about 15, because my friend said that whenever she's used something like this, they'd leave it attached for maybe 30 minutes. So, after 15 minutes, I went to turn the car on, and voila! It started! I then disconnected the cables, negative first, then positive.

So, basically I love this thing. It's really quite small, about the size of a lunch box. It's comforting to know that I can keep this in the trunk of my car, and if I needed a jump, I could take care of it myself. Especially living in Washington state, driving between Spokane and Seattle, my husband and I find ourselves in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone reception quite frequently. What a life saver it is!

Needed to use jumper for the first time 6 months after I bought it. Went to put on positive clamp (made of plastic) and it broke in two at the hinge such that it could no longer clamp onto anything. Luckily I was at home and used a woodworking clamp to attach the jumper clamp to the battery. Car did start fine. It turned out my car had developed some type of power drain while the car was turned off, so I ended up using the jumper a few times like this before I was finally able to get the drain problem fixed. As long as I kept the jumper charged it did jump my battery just fine. 1 year warrany requires me to pay to ship unit back to manufacturer too much money considering the cost of the jumper. I originally bought the jumper for my boat in case I had a problem on the water. But as best I can tell from the pictures at their web site, it looks like all the similar Wagan jumpers all have plastic clamps. I can't afford to worry that my jumper might break again when I need it. I'm going to find a jumper with metal clamps.

Honest reviews on Wagan 300 Amp Battery Jumper

Both my and my friend's car batteries died due to the cold this past week. Admittedly, we had both been gone for thanksgiving break and had not driven them in a week or so, so they were totally dead (not turning over at all). I got this off Amazon, and I figured it would do the trick. I charged it the full 48 hours, and put it on my car for 10-15 minutes and while the lights turned on and the radio did too, the car didn't come close to turning over. I tried multiple times to no avail. Same thing with my roommate we ended up having to jump it the old fashioned way.

So, I will say, if your car is turning over but not enough to catch, I think this charger will do the trick and giving you the extra juice to start it up. However, if your battery is completely dead (not turning over at all) this charger will not start your car.

I live on a college campus, so most everything is within walking distance for me. Add to that the fact that I'm a total shut-in, and that means my car can just sit there in the parking lot for weeks at a time. Not surprisingly, the battery is often dead.

I bought this gadget so that I can jump start my car, figuring the battery would get charged while I'm driving anyway. It works quite well. Lets me start my car two or maybe even three times before it gives out. But that's the thing: after three times you have to charge it again because it's already drained. I can still operate the electronics and lights on my car while it's hooked up, but it doesn't have the juice to actually jump start it.

You're probably better off getting one of the bigger models so that you have more than a few shots before you need to recharge. It takes about 30 hours to recharge fully according to the manual, so if you're out of juice, you're done for the day pretty much. I think that's just a general limitation of batteries and power sockets, and not the model itself, though. But it's just easier to charge once for say 60 hours and know that you have more than a couple shots.

Besides that, this unit is solidly built. I'm not afraid of accidentally breaking it. The jumper cables are very solid and long enough to easily reach the battery. The air compressor is a nice touch. When you're on the road, it's more likely you'll get a flat tire than have your car battery die. You can also charge USB devices through this, but it's hard to imagine when you'd need to.

All in all it's great, but you might want a bigger model if you have a bigger car. Mine's a Hyundai Elantra and this thing can barely jump start it (but it does it!).

Have owned this now for many months. Use it to charge various batteries: deep cycle trolling motor, motorcycle, marine, auto. It took two old marine batteries I thought were dead and brought them back up to over 12 volts. Indeed this season the Optima battery in my boat went bad and it was on a charge maintainer for boats. I am using one of the marine batteries that is 5 years old this charger recharged as its replacement with no issues. It has not brought the Optima battery back; not sure about that brand of battery anymore as it died just after the three year warranty. Uncanny. This is also very easy to use by my kids, and around batteries that is paramount. Was concerned about longevity, but it is holding up just fine for now.

I purchased two of these for my Friendly Robotics RL800 mower and was disappointed with their performance. While initial run time with these batteries was nearly three hours, within a month that time had dropped to less than 10 minutes.

Honest reviews on UPG UBCD5745 Sealed Lead Acid Batteries

After about 5 years or so, the battery pack in my B&D CMM 1200 24V mower died. I live in Canada, and bought the mower at Home Depot, so I went there and they don't sell the replacement batteries. I went to the B&D website, and was redirected to DeWalt, (they merged), where I found their replacement batteries. They were around $150 plus shipping, and also stated "backordered". The cynic in me thinks that this is suspicious, since B&D just came out with that sexy new 36V mower, so maybe they aren't going to support the older 24V anymore--"Can't get a battery? Darn, better buy a new mower........" Anyway, I found these batteries after reading a mower blog (who knew there were mower blogs?). They work just fine. There have been some comments that the posts are different, and that is correct, but I didn't need to modify anything. The factory batteries in my mower didn't have external terminals, but rather had screw holes with the wires secured by screws which themselves formed the posts. These new batteries have two terminals with a bolt going through them as can be seen from the photos. So, the wires are held on with screws in both systems, but the screws face in slightly different directions. There may be different variations of this B&D mower, so maybe in some there isn't any slack in the wires, but in mine it worked just fine.

So, if you can get them (maybe not anymore) the factory batteries will cost you about $150-$160 plus shipping, and two of these together were $82 shipped........ I don't know how long they will last, but even if they only last a year or two, I still didn't have to spend over $400 for a new mower yet! I had to pay some brokerage fees to bring the batteries into Canada, but would have had to with the factory battery as well, so it all comes out in the wash.

This charger gets the job done; considerably more effective than the Battery Tender also sold by Amazon. The unit is pretty easy to use but requires the user to push a button to get to the proper setting every time the unit is attached to the battery; not a big deal unless you expect someone else to operate the unit. While operating, the unit shows a red and amber light; I'm kinda surprised that such a sophisticated until doesn't have a more intuitive light system one that uses a green light for a battery at full maintenance level.

The best way to describe this charger is with a list of pros and cons.

Pros:

1) Price very reasonable, especially when compared to some of the bad designs that are out there at this price point.

2) Fully automatic operation to include a true trickle charge mode. Many of the other chargers available claim be fully automatic, but they are not. This charger analyzes the battery's type, condition, how well it is taking the charge, monitors the entire process and automatically initiates a de-sulphate mode when needed and ends the multi-phase charging cycle with a true trickle charge mode. The computer control prevents over-charging and damage to the battery. Several of the chargers available that are touted as "automatic" actually do nothing but follow a preprogrammed charging cycle regardless of the battery's condition. This leads to over-charging and damage to the battery and can be extremely dangerous. I've seen several posts on other products stating they left the battery to charge and came back some time later to find a battery essentially boiling over.

3) Compact. This charger is about the size of a purse.

4) Relatively cool running. This charger will get slightly warm (my garage is about 115-120F in the summer), but by no means hot. I've used other chargers that get extremely hot and you don't have the confidence to leave it to its work unattended. I've left this charger (and the smaller 8 amp version I use to charge my Odyssey battery) unattended for days at a time without a problem.

Cons:

1) The design could incorporate higher quality/stronger clamps. This version is better than the smaller 8 amp version, but still a bit on the weak side.

I bought this product to use USB-powered devices in my car, instead of going through bulky/near obsolete 12V cigar lighter power jack.

I am very happy with the USB adapter.

Pros are:

The small profile USB port is excellent. You will see why it is called 'micro'. It is so small that USB port seems as an integral part of car. However, the small profile may make it hard to pull out when necessary.

Build quality is good. So, it doesn't feel cheap.

It fits to the cigar lighter jack tight. Unlike some poorly designed accessories, once inserted into tthe lighter port, this USB port doesn't creep back out.

One star minus is because the iPod/iPhone charge/sync cable port is thicker than that of Apple genuine cable port. So, it doesn't fit through my iPhone case.

The charger itself seems to work just fine, charges my IPhone 3GS fast. However the included cable is horrible, terribly bad cable. Why?

1. Cable is way too stiff, not flexible. I don't see how this works well for any cable connected to your iPhone. It is ultimately going to put a lot of mechanical stress on your iPhone dock connector which WILL make it fail prematurely. If you don't have something to stick your iPhone in, your phone gets pushed around by the cable and either becomes disconnected, or knocks your phone onto the floor somewhere where you can't reach it.

2. The connector does not lock into the iPhone dock, meaning combined with the overly stiff cable, the cable often becomes disconnected defeating the whole point of having a charger in your car.

If you are interested in this product and have an extra USB to iPhone cable, or are willing to buy a better made cable, this product might makes some sense.

I personally do not like to reward companies that sucker customers into buying a poorly implemented and lazily designed product that, whether intended or not, takes advantage of consumers.

Perhaps they have fixed the cable issue, but I kind of doubt it.

The packaging also shows a generic iphone compatibility sign of "iphone 4GB 8GB and 16GB" which does not make sense to me, but may make sense to others. The first time I used it, my phone charged about 25% then my phone rejected the equipment. A warning message appeared and said the equipment was not compatible. I tried using the OEM USB cord that came with my iphone, but it still only charged about 25% and then stopped charging. My phone produced the warning message again. I am impressed with the design and the flush fit when the product is plugged into the DC outlet. I also like that the product is black. I am going to contact Belkin to trouble shoot. Don't know if Amazon will accept the product due to the packaging already being opened. I hope this helps those considering the purchase of this item.

Cobra CXT235 20 Mile 22-Channel UHF/FM Walkie-Talkie Two-Way Radios Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $34.26
Today's Bonus: 14% Off

I purchased this product (Cobra Electronics Walkie-Talkie CXT235 Two-Way Radio) during an Amazon Lightning Deal. Previously I already have a pair of very basic walkie talkies (Motorola FV300 2-Way Radio), but I consider the CXT235 a 'step-up' due to its advertised features, namely:

Longer range of 'Up to 20 miles'

'Privacy Codes'

Rechargeable batteries and charger included

My initial impression of the CXT235 was quite positive. The control buttons are fairly simple to use. The LCD panel is back-lighted and easy to read. The 'Privacy Code' feature seems to work well. However, there are several marketing hypes and deficiencies that I need to point out:

1. Like all walkie talkies, the advertised range of 'Up to 20 miles' is highly inflated. This number is only possible under optimal test conditions (transmitting from one hilltop to another with clear line-of-sight, perfect weather, no RF interference, etc). In an urban environment with obtrusions and interferences, you're lucky to get up to 2 miles in range.

2. The so-called 'Privacy Code' does NOT prevent others from listening in to your conversation. Instead, it prevents you from receiving unwanted transmission from other people. Let's say your group is using channel 11 with privacy code set to 22. You will not hear any transmission on channel 11 unless it is preceded by the correct privacy code. But anybody listening in to channel 11 without using privacy code can hear everything you transmit.

3. The included NiMH rechargeable AAA batteries have very low capacity of just 300mAh. Based on my measured power consumption (see Footnotes), this is barely enough to sustain 1-2 hours of operation if you do a lot of transmission. To extend the runtime, I need to replace those batteries with higher-capacity versions, such as Sanyo eneloop or Tenergy Centura (800mAh).

4. While the walkie talkies are plugged in to the AC recharger, you can turn them on but they are unable to receive any calls. That means you cannot leave them in standby mode while being recharged.

Bottom Line:

Despite the above limitations, I consider the Cobra CXT235 a good value at the Lightning Deal price I paid. An added bonus for me is that this product can be used to communicate with my old Motorola FV300 as long as all walkie talkies are set to the same channel, and privacy code is NOT set on the CXT235.

[Footnotes on Power Consumption]

When first turned on, the unit consumes around 60mA in standby mode.

After 10 seconds of inactivity, it goes into 'Power Saver' mode which reduces the average input current to around 20mA

While receiving calls, the units consumes around 100mA (depending on volume)

While transmitting in low power (channel 8-14), it consumes ~250mA

While transmitting in high power (Channel 1-7, 15-22), it consumes ~300mA

The AC adapter's charging current is around 30mA. That means it takes about 12 hours to recharge the included 300mAh batteries.

[Update on June 30, 2013]

I can use higher-capacity rechargeable batteries in the Cobra walkie-talkies, but the AC adapter does NOT recharge the new batteries. It turns out that there is an extra contact in the battery compartment used for recharging. So it only works when using the included Cobra batteries with exposed metal near negative terminal. See the picture I uploaded to 'Customer Images' section for illustration.

However the Car Charger is not compatible with the IPhone or Ipod Touch. I dont think I have a defective car charger since it works with my old IPod 3rd Generation. I get an error saying that Charging is not supported with this accessory.

I know this company is not the only one having this problem. However they should not claim it works, when it dont. Still not a bad price for a wall charging unit....which is the only reason why it got 2 stars.

Its funny on the site it says compatible with Ipod Touch, and on the packaging it only says compatible with Iphone 3G. I should be the same regardless. My guess this is some old car charge left over from the old Ipod days that is still running on 12v and not supplying 5v like the new ipod and iphones require.

Customer Ratings:

This is the second K5000 I've purchased from this seller. I own many inexpensive DVR's, 808's and Lighter cams made in China. The 1st K5000 has worked flawlessly for 2 months, easy to operate and the resolution is better than all the other Car DVR's under $50, so I bought another for the sedan. For under $50 and free shipping I don't expect the quality of a $200 to $500 HD handycam. I'm very satisfied with this CarCam TSSS K5000. FBA (filled by amazon) is another plus, I always look for FBA before I consider a purchase.

Well it's good other than the battery doesn't keep a charge. But as good picture if it had a longer charge it would be better.

This car video camera is a good "entry level device", if you are just getting into video recording in your car.

Good value, what you do get, versus what you pay.

The Downside Potential: My expectations were apparently much higher than the functionality provided ih this device.

As I used it, I found myself creating a "Wish List" of Functionality, like "It would be nice if I did not have to push buttons while driving", etc. ie. (Voice Recognition commands would be nice, and probably much more expensive.) Another "Wish" which emerged, was... "How to capture in HD, tailgaters crawling up my trunk!". Some other car videos offer two lens, one facing front, and one facing rear. I am not sure how effective a rear-facing lens would work from the rear-view mirror over my dashboard. Many drivers in Russia and Japan are using these dash cam's to provide evidence in litigation involving accidents. So, this camera is better than nothing!
