Buy Retractable Car Charger for Motorola Flipout

This is by far the coolest, neatest, most user friendly car charger I've used.

The retractable cord is plenty long enough to reach wherever you need it to and when not in use the unit has an extremely small footprint and a cool blue LED.

This will work for all your other Motorola stuff too like Bluetooth headsets as they all use this same mini USB plug as a standard.

So happy with this product I have ordered another 2.

Product works well but you need to check the output at the end of the cigarette lighter plug with voltmeter. I couldn't figure out why there was no power at the cig plug. After some investigating I realized there was a fuse inside the cig plug that was blown. Even though the blue light is flashing you'll still have no power at the plug. I slid the chrome ring off the plug and it opened up exposing a blown fuse. Hope this helps.

I installed this battery maintainer on the dashboard of my motor home and plugged it into the cigarette lighter while the motor home was in long term storage. Since the rig faces the morning sun, the maintainer did an excellent job of keeping the battery up to charge. I am well pleased with this Sunforce Solar battery Maintainer and would recommend it to anyone in need of such a unit.

I purchased this solar charger for a camping trip I had planned. Out in the high deserts of Arizona, I wanting protection that my truck battery will be charged. I have a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder with a WalMart battery. We did use the truck battery too much while camping and that next morning the battery would not turn over the truck motor. Hooked up the Sunforce 1.8W solar charger and by day end the truck started right up. LIFE SAVER!!! I would recomend the product HIGHLY!!!

Honest reviews on Sunforce 50012 1.8-Watt Solar Battery Maintainer

I purchased 5 of these hoping they'd work as a cheap alternative to the more expensive solar chargers/maintainers. That was partly true; two of the five did but the other three all died within a month. Unfortunately this company(based in Canada) doesn't offer any support or warranty, contrary to what they advertise. Very poor quality and no support.

I bought this array to trickle charge my 12V battery in my '05 Civic (I don't run the engine long enough between startups to maintain battery voltage). Attachment through the factory accessory plug was not feasible--the key must be turned to "accessory" for the plug to work, which then also powers up the radio. [Curiously, if I connected the array to the plug without the key on, I could turn on the radio, implying that the array was powering everything in the car that runs on "accessory"!] I therefore installed an always-on power socket; to do so, I installed a Bussmann BP/HHH ATM Add-A-Fuse to a unused fuse plug in my interior fuse panel, and attached to it a Radio Shack 270-1527 socket (after clipping off the battery clips).

In full sun, the array produces 70mA of current at 24V (60mA when properly attached to the battery). When attached in reverse, the array LED and diode together draw microamps of current (my ammeter could not measure that low of current).

I've owned scanners since the mid-'70s and this little beast is the finest one I've ever owned, hands down. It has more features than I'll ever use (or comprehend), but it's tidy, compact form factor, superlative audio, and superb built quality puts it in a class all its own.

If you decide to get one, please do yourself a huge favor and get a decent USB programming cable...yes, a serial cable comes packed with the rest of the goodies, but how many people have access to serial ports on their computers these days? Don't toss the serial cable, with the optional GPS rig and a null modem, you can enjoy GPS-enabled scanning wherever you go!

And there are several excellent programming programs available; I use Freescan which makes programming ridiculously easy, especially if you subscribe to a site like radioreference...programming digital modes is a cake walk.

Yes, I am delighted with my 396XT and have become a 'true believer' .

Thanks for reading!

Great Scanner you will need the following to program without frustration.

This is my first scanner and after 1 day I had all the counties in my state programmed. I went with police, sheriff, Fish and game, and state patrol only.

1. Order the car charger, also you will need a 9 pin male adapter with a usb port. The scanner comes with a 9 pin female adapter.

2. Order ARC-XT Basic Software. This is the software that makes programming much easier. It also has an online manual you can click for reference.

3. Equally important under the internet tab you will see the radioreference icon. Click that and order a 6 month subscription for roughly $9.00 create your user name and password and they also accept paypal. This internet site will work inconjunction with your ARC-XT software and allow you to click on your state or where ever your located and you simply scroll through the couinties, then click import, followed by copy to clip board, next you click the upper send icon which is a radio icon. This automatically sends all frequencies and names of the department to your scanner.

4. Lastly, and i blew this the first time dont forget to hit the save icon, and save as profile(i used my first name) this way all your county, state, federal, ect frequencies will be saved on the left side of your profile. At any time you can upload them all, or make changes to them. If you close the window after spending a good hour or two selecting all the frequencies from various counties they will not be saved. So dont make the mistake I did save save save your profile.

If you still have trouble look up scannermasters.com online, they have a live help chat, a remote access to your computer app, and if you prefer you can send your radio in and have them program it.

Best Deals for Uniden Handheld TrunkTracker IV Digital Police Scanner (BCD396XT)

I bought the analog version last year this time, and enjoyed it for a month before I returned it. It was too much money for what it did. This year, I tried again, but stepped up to the digital version. This scanner picks up everything in my area (except my encrypted county). Once I added an external antenna, things came in loud and clear. It takes a LOT of practice. it is very complicated and your knowledge of radios will have to increase. After over a month, I am still practicing daily.

Anyway, its very well organized, picks up the signals well, and is easy on the batteries. Does exactly what its supposed to. Haven't found any bugs either. Finally, this year they have an actual manual. The website that tried to be a manual is horrible.

This scanner has helped me navigate traffic on the interstates many times. I won't send this one back. Eventhough I think its overpriced, I'll be keeping it.

Honest reviews on Uniden Handheld TrunkTracker IV Digital Police Scanner (BCD396XT)

!!PROS/CONS/TIPS below review!!

I've had the Uniden BCD396XT for a month or so and am still discovering new features daily. If you're anything like me, I had no understanding about scanners when I purchased this except that I knew I wanted a scanner that could scan analog, digital, and trunking systems. When I first turned it on and began playing with it I was a little overwhelmed by its lack of good documentation. I halfway expected a $400+ device to just start picking up stuff in my town out of the box but it turned out I just didn't understand the basics of how scanners worked. Now that I've had some time to play with it, I'm quite satisfied with its feature set and capabilities.

PROS:

Scans pretty much any non-encrypted source including CB/FM/AM/Trunking systems (digital and analog)

Portable (I can take it in my car, leave it on my desk, or carry it with me)

Advanced programming features (hook it up to your PC with FreeScan and program stuff quickly)

Battery life is good (I can leave it on for about 8 hours before the low battery warning comes on)

Comes with a set of rechargeable batteries (simply plug it in to charge them)

CONS:

Expensive!!

Average antenna (portable antennas like this don't pick up as much. However can be hooked up to a better one easily)

Steep learning curve (be ready to do some reading and keyboard smashing from getting frustrated)

TIPS/RESOURCES:

Get a USB -> Serial adapter like the Trendnet RS-232 (This will make your life much more enjoyable when programming from the PC)

Download FreeScan by SixSpot Software (free free free is good!)

Google "easier to read 396xt scanner manual" by marksscanners (puts things into simpler terms than the Uniden manual)

Check out radioreference.com for a free collection of frequencies for different agencies/public services in your areas (you can use the copy/paste function of FreeScan to import these into the app)

Set the Squelch low (noob mistake on my part. I had Squelch set too high and it was filtering out everything. I accidentally bumped it down and all of a sudden I heard things going on).

Feel free to email/reply to me if you are having issues :)

Great scanner for conventional and trunk systems. Love the digital readout better

than any scanner out there, very nice and large typeface.

If you've experience with programming software in the past should be no problem to use.

However with all things new, if you have not, there is a learning curve.

Beware, that if you are planning to use it for the newer P25 Simulcast systems the

audio and receives are very choppy and inaudible. Check the internet and radioreference.com

a lot of discussion on this subject and how scanner mfrs have not entirely solved this

problem. Listening to the Oakland Police and Fire P25 simulcast systems have been horrible.

Upgraded to the latest firmware, not much improvement.

ENHANCE Mobile PowerFlex 300W DC Power Inverter & Car Travel Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Pro:

This product functions just as advertised. Since there is only one AC plug, use a surge protector cord so two items can be plugged in at the same time. During a 400 mile road trip, both my son and I used our laptops at the same time while being powered through the use of this adapter.

Con:

The fan is a little noisy but after a while it became background noise and I forgot about it.

Pros: Worked for a year

Charged everything I needed

Cons: Fan is loud

Broke after a year and shorted out every cigarette lighter it got plugged into

Overall it lasted pretty long but could have worked better in the long run. Very frustrating when the fuse in it is just fine and you wind up thinking your car is broke when low and behold, it is just your charger that is creating some type of fault.

Best Deals for ENHANCE Mobile PowerFlex 300W DC Power Inverter & Car Travel

-UPDATE: As of 6/15/2010, the product appears to have broken. It has blown four car fuses over the past two days. I'm not sure what happened to it, but keep this in mind when getting one. I loved it before, but now I just threw it out. --

Electronic junkies will love this adapter, which you stick into your car's "cigarette lighter" port to gain the ability to charge items that require a regular house outlet.

I always carry it with me whenever I go on a car ride, and it spares me the trouble of panicking over car adapters I don't have. This can save you a lot of money on purchasing car chargers for all of your electronic items.

On long rides, if someone else is driving, I just plug in my laptop and watch movies the whole time, without worrying about the battery. To name a few things, I have also charged my cell phone, camera, iPod, and DSi.

I love the USB port, because I can simultaneously charge my iPod while charging another item.

The adapter's fan is a bit noisy, but as long as you are using the radio or AC, it shouldn't be a problem.

Honest reviews on ENHANCE Mobile PowerFlex 300W DC Power Inverter & Car Travel

I checked many similar products, because I wanted to make sure that this product would work well for my laptop and flip camera. It is easy to use and supports devices up to 150 Watts continuously. There are some other ones that look alike, but does not suffice to supply power to laptops. Be careful! This product is made for laptops. The USB charger is really useful. I guess to more product will be available to be charged via USB in near future, and this product will be even more useful then. It has a fan to cool off the unit. Before buying it, I read that somebody complained about the "noisy" fan, but I personally disagree. Maybe I can tolerate it easier than most people. However, even if it is noisy, it is a trade I would gladly make in exchange of being able to charge my laptop on the go while at the same time I use it. I think, a fan was necessary for such a unit with this capacity, and for this price, it is a GOOD deal! I would definitely recommend.

This was exactly what I needed as I travel long distances daily.

Pros: Surprisingly short time to charge my laptop very pleased on that score. Quick delivery (2 days). Simple to use.

Cons: As mentioned in other reviews, it is a little noisy. I guess it's some sort of fan to keep it cool. It's basically noticeable when the car is turned off, but not really audible when the car is running.

This was my first buy from Accessory Genie. (Now, for the record, I don't have any relationship with them.) But, they sent me an after sale email wanting to know what I liked or didn't like about the product and if I was happy. I think that's a first for me. Seemed like the type of people that would work with you if you ever had to return a product.

New Combo Rapid Car Charger + Home Wall Charger + USB Data Charge Reviews

Customer Ratings:

No Name in the ad has a .5A Charger written on the A/C Charger unit; it tests as 232 mA actual; it charges from 20 to 80% in 19,514 seconds-54% under spec, less than a USB computer port in a computer and not able to charge the phone unless it was powered down (although it will tread water if you are reading on it). Ok for the price, but not what you want when you travel and use the phone a lot. It may take 9+ hours for the full charge if fully discharged. But you get a cord and a car charger (not tested) included in the deal, so it may be an ok deal.

For comparison, a USB Power from a Computer which is restricted to .4 A max; tested as 346 mA actual; 20 to 80% in 14,659 second. The Samsung OEM included with phone, 1A Travel Charger tested out at 849 mA actual; 20 to 80% in 5341 seconds.

CONCLUSION: I am keeping this as a light duty home charger plus car charger, but I am buying a better A/C charger for travel. FYI, I got a best value for a good charger from the .7A slim look Samsung Travel Charger (testing shows it to be accurate, a rarity it seems).

Best Xantrex Technologies 804-0450 High-Wattage 40-Amp Battery Charger Deals

Customer Ratings:

I have been testing battery chargers and batteries for charging efficiency as a byproduct of marine wind turbine testing I am doing. Of the 5 different chargers I tested, this was by far the most efficient.

It is also very powerful; for just a little more than a standard 15 amp charger, you get 40 amps. The 3 stage charging program significantly speeds charging of large capacity batteries.

I bought 1, used it for several months, and was so impressed, I bought a 2nd one to boost the charging capacity of a very large batter bank.

It is ideal for use as a charger for boat battery banks, either cruising sailboat or for bass boat type trolling motor battery banks.

I really like this charger but it has a major flaw.

The good points are that it provides a lot of current and it's very lightweight. You also get a constant current charge. If you set the charger for 20 amps you get a full 20 amps until the battery is near full charge and then the charger switches to a voltage mode and the current slowly decreases as the battery is fully charged. Very nice.

The major flaw is that you can't charge a completely dead battery. If the voltage is less than 4 volts, the charger is programmed not to work. How stupid is this? Somebody left a light on in my boat and drained the battery. I couldn't charge it. I had to get out my old "stupid" charger and get the voltage up before I could use the Xantrex. So which charger is really stupid?

Since this charger is "smart", it could simply run a few amps through a completely dead battery for a few minutes to see if the voltage comes up. If it does then continue with a normal charge and if it doesn't then give it up. Xantrex needs to re-program.

Being a commercial fisherman I've dealt with many charges and this is the best portable one I've ever used. The design quality is excellent but the build quality is only fair since it's made in China, you might get a bad one. I had to take mine apart and reposition the control panel because it was shifted to far up and you couldn't see the indicator lights. Charges a full 40 amps and I've had no problems with it for 6 months. A completely dead battery won't charge until you either zap it for a second with jumper cables or use an old style charger for a few minutes. The 3 charging stages work as described.

Honest reviews on Xantrex Technologies 804-0450 High-Wattage 40-Amp Battery Charger

Works well, but sometimes the smarts are not smart enough. Some times it charges a full or nearly full battery at too high an amperage and you know it shouldn't. You turn if off then back on, and it acts properly. Sometimes it won't charge a battery in bad shape, but a simple & stupid charger will. I'm on my second. The first would go into equilizing mode by itself, though the engineers at Xantrex couldn't see how that was possible! All in all it's a nice device and a worthwhile purchase.

Best 1200mAh Extended Battery for TomTom One IQ, V2, V3, V4, XL & XL-S Deals

Customer Ratings:

My original battery would no longer take a charge so I replaced it with this one. After charging it up, presto... I now have a working GPS again. You need two things to replace this battery: Micro TORX Driver Bit T9, to remove the four screws holding the front and back of the GPS unit together, the other is some kind of solid plastic chisel shaped tool, like a lottery ticket scratcher, for separating the front and back sections. You carefully pry them apart, working your way around the body of the unit.

But be careful, as inside the unit the speaker wire is attached to the mother board with a tiny connector, and so are the battery wires. Carefully pull the battery connector from the pc board (noting how it was attached). Then carefully peel the old battery from its sticky backing, and reset the new battery in place. Then carefully reattach the battery's tiny connector to the pc board (it can only go one way so pay attention). Reassemble front and back and replace screws.
