Review of LG Vu CU920 Cell Phone Car Charger / Vehicle Charger

Customer Ratings:

I ordered two car chargers for my and my girlfriend's lg phones. One worked for a day and the other did not work at all. The red indicator light turns on when you plug it in the outlet but turns off when hooked up with the phones. I should have returned it but I can't find the invoice. Quite disappointing

Piece of junk. Fell apart as soon as I plugged it in. Couldn't get it back together. The end that plugs into the phone jack wouldn't stay in anyway. Would cost me more to send it back than what I paid for it. But hey, for $0.01, what should I expect. Bought much better quality at Walmart for $9. You get what you pay for.

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.

Best Brunton New SOLARIS i6 Foldable iPod Solar Charger Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $208.49
Sale Price: $99.95
Today's Bonus: 52% Off

First off, I live in Sacramento, CA. So it's not the sunniest location, but still pretty dang sunny.

I purchased the Solaris i6 with the intention to be able to charge any of the following: Ipod Video, Ipod Shuffle, Treo Smartphone, Garmin GPS, Bluetooth headset, & AA or AAA batteries. Usage would be mainly around the house, but I am an outdoor enthusiast that would disappear into backcountry whenever possible taking my trusty Ipod as my only real tie to civilization. Therefore, portability, simplicity & durability would be paramount for my outings.

At first tests, the Solaris was TECHNICALLY capable of charging everything EXCEPT the Ipod Video. The shuffle, phone, GPS & Bluetooth were fabulous no problems there. The AA & AAA batteries were close to impossible. Majority of chargers out there are just not able to work with the current that's created from these panels. I did find a charger that could, however the limit was a single battery at a time! If 2 batteries were placed in the charger, the lights would flicker a little -but charge. The SECOND a cloud, haze, or anything (possibly even a ladybug!) passed over the sun, the threshold was broken & the battery charger would flash "error." Unfortunately, the charger would either sit there flashing error (& no longer charging) until I came back later thinking my batteries are charged, or I would have to reset the charger by either removing the batteries & re-inserting (or unplugging & re-plugging the charger to the solar panels). So... technically, there probably is a charger out there that can work off of the current that the i6 produces, but in my experience -I'm as close to finding that charger as I am to finding a cure for Mad Cow Disease. So, expect the stated "3-4 hrs to charge 4 AA batteries" to actually read, "3-4 hrs PER AA battery." As for the Ipod... IMPOSSIBLE as well using the provided Ipod cable. I figured I had a defective Ipod cable -as the terminal contacts were too small for me to test with my voltage meter. Concluding so, I exchanged the Solaris for another one hoping that the Ipod issue would be resolved. Well, the problem was not resolved.

I can only conclude 1 of 2 conclusions, either: 1) I have terrible luck, & got 2 units with defective cables, or 2) the i6 is not capable of creating enough juice to charge the Ipod Video (at least in my 95 degrees, full-sun early September conditions here in Northern CA). I'm assuming scenario #2. That said, I think it's terrible to tout a product specifically for the Ipod -yet it can't deliver. As a manufacturer, I'd have tested the product against available generations of Ipods that use the connection that you are providing. There is no disclaimer (except that the lighting conditions may vary from our test type deal, etc.), so it really is disappointing. If you have a USB car adapter however, you can use this with the normal Ipod USB cable & the Brunton provided Female Cig adapter. This WILL charge the Ipod -but you now have to use 3 items vs. the 1 Brunton Ipod cable. For some this may be insignificant, but for me -this feels a little jacked-up when you consider the Ipod cable is about $10... which means some of my purchase price is completely wasted. Not to mention the fact that I now have to carry more bulk when outdoors.

So bottom-line, this product is capable of charging an Ipod -as well as a good majority of SMALL electronics. UN-intentional deception aside, I like the Solaris for what it is capable of delivering in such a portable package. I will however grade them hard, as I believe in delivering on a promise or claim.

On a side note, I am impressed with the Solaris line to the point that I am currently contemplating purchasing the 26 as well for larger electronics (digital SLR batteries & portable DVD players), for longer comfortable basecamps away from power.

One last point to consider... if you are purchasing these units SOLELY for emergency power (cell phones), you might want to consider the 12 or 26 watt Solaris instead. The 6 watts work beautifully under sunny conditions, & at about 25%-50% under light to moderate overcast conditions (but still enough to activate my phone charger). I would doubt though that enough current would be produced under heavier overcast (conditions typically associated with emergency situations) to initiate charging for most cell phones. For those of you thinking, "it's for situations like car trouble on a sunny day (not natural disasters)," let's face it, why would you need something as expensive as solar?... why not go with something like an extra battery... easier & cheaper to buy & carry. With a larger Solaris, there is a greater chance that the panels will collect enough energy to trigger your chargers, as a 10-15% output from the 26 would be most likely enough to activate charging. Just something to think about...

I really thought that this was exactly what I have been looking for...but it is not. If you are looking for a solar energy source for charging your iPod or newer cellular phone, look somewhere else. I own several Brunton products, and I've never had a problem with them before. Even though the specifications listed claim to be able to charge an iPod, it actually takes TWO or even THREE of these very expensive panels linked together to charge an iPod touch or iPhone. It took two Brunton i6 panels linked together to charge an iPod 3G nano, 80GB video iPod, and my Samsung Instinct even in direct sunlight. Although this item even lists "iPod" specifically in its name, I would have to recommend the Brunton 12-watt or even 26-watt solar panels to do the job. The i6 *may* have enough power to charge some of the much older iPods, such as the 1G and 2G nano, but I do not have any old iPods to test.

Best Deals for Brunton New SOLARIS i6 Foldable iPod Solar Charger

I use this to charge my iPhone. It works. It won't charge the battery while the phone is on but it seems maintain the level. I don't see this as an issue because I use this where there is no cell service, and no power I'm just using the phone as an iPod at this point. The sun is bright where I am in the west. Mine came without the storage sack and I emailed Brunton. They got back to me quickly and mailed me one. I give it four stars as the instruction book doesn't mention it working with an iPhone I just had to take a chance.

It does come with an array of cables: cigarette lighter socket, battery clamps, and various barrel connectors for charging other stuff. I haven't tried any of that at this point.

Also note that charging electronics in the hot sun is always tricky. One needs to shade or protect the device somehow so it doesn't get overheated while keeping the panel in the bright sunlight.

Honest reviews on Brunton New SOLARIS i6 Foldable iPod Solar Charger

I bought this solar charger in the hopes that it would charge other usb devices in addition to my iPod. It doesn't charge the most important one, a Garmin Edge 305 cycling computer. In fact, it drains the battery rather than charging it. Further, Brunton's customer support on this issue was poor. The charger works fine with my 4th-generation iPod, but I'd rather not carry a separate charging system for every device, so I'm now looking for a better option for solar charging.

I purchased this unit to mount to a MidNite Solar E-Panel. I fronted the AC Input with an ESCO 30A Auto transfer switch and can say this unit (paired with the RC-50 control/display) is a super setup. The Magnum inverter is responsive, accurate, efficient and I could go on and on. Yes, it's $$$$ but, you get what you pay for. A very nice 'core' to any setup.

I don't give 5 stars often, but this heavy guy deserves it as it's made top quality, functioned flawlessly out of the box and the warranty is great AND AMERICAN MADE!!!!!!!!! Spend a few more $$$ and support american companies!

Thumbs up from my end.

This is the inverter I have been dreaming about. It is performing way better than I expected based on my experience with other inverters. I have solar panels and a big battery bank all configured for 24 V. Even though I live in the city, I have my home mostly off grid, and feed the inverter into my service panel and run everything in my house. My previous inverter would not run my microwave MagnaSine does. The previous inverter could not start my gas clothes dryer motor when loaded with wet clothes MagnaSine does with no sweat. Same story with my furnace motor, whole house vacuum motor and big table saw. I love this inverter. It is a beast in a beautiful package, and if you are strong enough to lift it and mount it, you will be very happy you own one. I have recommended this inverter to all my friends.

I have to say that I am impressed. The item came in and from the start we could tell it was solid build quality and already had MC4 pigtails ready to go.

On the first morning the sun had not even broke the horizon when I noticed the pretty blue light on my charge controller telling me the battery in my camper was charging. I thought to myself, this couldn't be, the suns not over the horizon yet.

Around mid-day I decided to check and see how many amps I was getting out of this panel. WOW... is exactly what I said when it read 6.43 amps on a nice bright sunny day.

It's been a couple of weeks not and this panel recharges the batteries in my camper every single day in sun, clouds and rain.

I will be ordering another one soon.

Yes, I would greatly suggest you purchase this panel if you are considering solar.

Honest reviews on RENOGY 100 Watt 100w Monocrystalline Photovoltaic PV Solar Panel

This solar panel is awesome, right now it is charging a 4 deep cycle bank of batteries in our 35 ft travel trailer, with a 2000 wt inverter we run just about everything off of solar power, I am planning on buying another 100 watt panel and a couple more batteries so we can charge the batteries a bit faster (though it takes hardly any time at all now with one 4hrs tops) to run the air conditioner. It was easy to install and with a bit of research on youtube on how to install in an RV you don't have to deal with generator noise.....only the frogs and crickets. I am very pleased. :) I think I will install them on the house next and the electric company can KMA. :)

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for RENOGY 100 Watt 100w Monocrystalline Photovoltaic PV Solar Panel

I'd been looking at solar panels for at least a couple of years but never saw anything that I considered reasonable for the price. Then I saw this one. At first, I hesitated because I couldn't believe that a 100-watt panel that was about $50 cheaper than any other I'd seen could be all that good. But, based on the reviews here, I crossed my fingers and took the plunge. I'm really glad I did.

I bought this to use for extended camping trips. I made some folding legs out of angle aluminum, hooked it to a Sunforce 60031 10 Amp Digital Charge Controller and a Power Sonic PS12350 12 Volt 35 aH Sealed Lead Acid Battery and, during a 5-day trip which included a couple of very overcast and scattered rain days, I never had an issue with low voltage. I didn't carry a meter to read the amps, but the blue charge light on the controller stayed lit even under overcast skies and the voltage reading on the meter never dropped much below 12 volts.

The battery was used to charge and run a laptop, an mp3 player, a Logitech S715i Portable 30-Pin iPod/iPhone Speaker Dock (ALL day long and half the night), and to run a mattress inflator, a fan and a couple of LED lights at night. (Yes, I rough it fairly smoothly!) I also charged a few smart phones for the people in my group. I never had anything drop out due to low voltage and, since the last day of the trip was sunny, I came home with a fully charged battery.

I'm impressed with the build quality. Since someone else mentioned an out of square frame in their review, I checked mine. It's square and very solidly built. There are no sloppy solder connections between the cells and the connector box on the back is well sealed. The cables and MC4 connectors are also solidly built. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase. I used to lug a 70 pound deep cycle out to the woods. Now it's a 22 pound battery and a solar setup that weighs about 19 pounds stand, cables and controller included. If you're on the fence about whether or not to buy this panel, I'll say stop thinking and go for it!
