The reason I say Real Yuasa is because Ive ordered a Yuasa from another seller and what they shipped was not a Yuasa. They claim the brand they shipped is the same as Yuasa and that the companies merged which is not true according to my local Yuasa distributor rep at my local moto shop. This battery was easy to match to my bike and arrived in perfect condition. Finish, fit and operation is great. Be cautious when adding the liquid. Yes the battery comes "dry" and you have to add the battery liguid and install the cap. When installing the cap, I placed the battery on a solid surface, covered it with a rag and used a light duty hammer to gently tap the cap in place. Start tapping it in place from one end to another to insure a solid fit. The cap fits very snug so it is not possible in most cases to pop it in with your hands. Highly recommend this quality battery

***Update after 3 months***

Battery didnt last long. Wont hold a charge even when putting it on a regular or trickle charger. Questioning if its a real Yuasa now. Ive never had this problem with all of the other Yuasas Ive purchased from my local shops over the years. Waiting for a replacement battery from Powersport Superstore going on 2 weeks now. Will provide an update for the replacement battery when received.

*** Update after 4 months***

I've continuously tried to work with Powersports Superstore and they are now giving me the run around. Still no replacement battery. The original battery was either just a bad apple or they're selling fakes which I've run into before. I have 3-6 year old Yuasa batteries that are still working without failure on my other bikes. My advise is to go to your local shop if possible and buy a Yuasa battery. They generally buy direct from Yuasa and that way you know you're getting the real thing.

***Update***

Im happy to report that I received a replacement battery via UPS on 12/11 from Powersports. I will install and hope that this one lasts. I previously called Yuasa on 12/11 to see if they could help and they were extremely helpful. Although they dont warranty batteries directly when sold retail, they were a big help and offered some kind of assistance after I had the battery tested by an authorized motorcycle dealer. Good company and good customer service from Yuasa. I will definitely continue to buy their products just not online. Besides, they informed me that although you can buy batteries online, you cannot return them once filled due to chemical hazard and shipping restrictions (understandable)

Bottom Line: There are certain things that we should just not buy online. Support you local shops.

The Yuasa battery is better than the other cheap replacements available and will definitely last a lot longer. I have this battery in my Honda 3000is generator and a Honda ATV. The cheap batteries I tried before failed within a year. Putting the acid in with the little pack is very easy and the battery is good to go without worrying about shelf life.

At first the lack of reviews and some issues discussed with other models made me leery of this purchase, but after research on other sites and talking to people here in the Northeast who used their generators after the ice storms heavily, I decided on this generator and I am very pleased. The generator arrived promptly, in excellent condition, was put in my garage for me, and took me all of 15 minutes to go from in the box to running. With the battery start, I know that my wife can start his up and key warm if we loose power in the winter, even if I am at work.

+ Easy set-up. Box to power in less than 15 minutes. Only tools needed is a box knife, socket set, and a box wrench.

+ Quick Start Guide. Really every thing you need to know to put it together and get it running.

+ Easy start. Kicked right over on the first turn of the key and the choke was off within a minute

+ Fuel Gauge. Some sites said it didn't have one, but it does.

+ Low Oil Shutoff. Some sites said it did not have one, but it does

+ Battery. Later I complain about what this unit did not include in the box, but they did include the battery. Some generators do not.

+ Weather Protectors. There are rubber covers over the power connections. Although this unit is not rain-proof, it dies keep moisture at a minimum.

+ Battery Trickle Charger. Plug in your generator to trickle charge the starter battery to keep it at its peak readiness.

+ Large Wheels. In conjunction with he fold down handle, rolls around easily.

+ Looks Good. Okay. it's a generator, but it does look nice.

Neutral Noise. Although not as quiet as a Honda, this unit is about the same noise level as my lawn tractor. Tolerable, but not great.

Neutral Oil Fill Location. Instructions say a funnel is optional to fill the oil. I recommend using one if you want to keep oil off the floor.

Minus What it Does NOT Come With. Many generators include a power cord, fuel stabilizer, a funnel, etc. The only thing you get with this generator is the oil and the starter battery. Is it too much to ask that you get everything you need out of the box and don't need to run about buying the pieces? It is not like these are inexpensive items to begin with. (NOTE This is not unique to this unit or this company. As you research, you will find that different companies include different things).

Update In October 2011 the NE suffered a early snow and this caused power to go out at my home for four days. The generator supplied us power for the entire four days and ran without issue. By balancing our load, not use any heavy demand items (oven, stove top, dryer, AC, etc.) and keeping the generator fueled (burned just under a gallon an hour on full load) we lived normally. My only complaint is that the keyed socket for the generator cable appears NOT to be the quality I would have liked and removal of the cable after the power came on was difficult and I could see damage to the socket.

Update #2 Maybe it is and October event, but the East Coast suffered another serious storm in October 2012 knocking out power in my area for a day. The generator had no real use since October 2011 (although I do run it under load once a month and use fuel stabilizer). The generator started right up and supplied us power for the duration. Again, other than the noise of he generator, you would have not known we were without power. As far as I can see, it looks and runs like brand new. I remain very satisfied with my purchase.

After waiting almost a month for it to come in stock Amazon finally shipped my 30471. No problems with the delivery or the state of packaging. Once opened the box I was surprised to see that manufacturing date was January 2010 which did not give me a warm fuzzy feeling about it. Upon further inspection I have noticed that inside base of the metal fuel tank is already have early indicators of rusting. To top it off, after fueling it up almost to a full, the fuel gauge is not working and sitting at empty. A call to Briggs only added further frustration as the woman answered the phone after 20+ minute hold time (which was suppose to be only 3 minutes as per the automated system) was the nastiest, most unhelpful customer I every had with my entire dealing with any customer support line. I was expecting any minute for for her to curse me for calling the customer support. First she says she can't find anything in English on the unit and then she claims that there is no gas gauge on that model and I must be talking about the gas cap. Upon convincing her that there is a gas gauge she finally finds it. She tells me that she is not sure if they have any fuel gauges available, if they do !!!! she would send me one. I asked if there would be instructions included on how to install the replacement gauge, she started to bark NO, it is just 2 screws holding it and if I am not comfortable doing it I should take it to a service center. So, this is the kind a sub human service you will get from Briggs apparently. Very promising for my future purchases. Briggs if you give the a damn about customer service, you should listen to your customer service call recording.

Anyway, the generator appears to work as it should otherwise and the battery had full change on it and started without issues. With all the rust starting to creep on the metal fuel tank you should make sure to install a fuel filter on the gas line before your engine gets destroyed...

This generator functioned very well when we needed it. During Hurricane Irene, we lost power. Fortunately, we had installed a generator connection sub-panel. This generator worked perfectly to give us the power we needed until our electricity was restored.

The generator came well-packaged with easy to understand instructions. The wheel kit was the only thing that needed to be assembled. After attaching the negative wire to the battery and adding some oil, the machine was ready to go. After making sure that the fuel feed was in the "on" position, the generator started on the first try with the key-start. Although it is not "quiet," it is probably more quiet than other generators with similar power ratings. For the money, this is a great generator that I do not hesitate to recommend to anyone needing a portable gasoline powered generator with 8,000 watts of running power.

Please Read This Complete Review !!

I always liked Briggs and Stration products.

When I was a kid we purchased Briggs and Straton engines for our Go-carts and Mini-bikes. Never had any issues, they just ran and ran well.

I purchased the first model 30471 in 2010, It ran well and did it's job powering up my home. There were a few small issues: Rust under frame paint in one area and paint blistered off. Fuel valve screen was made defective,some of the plastic molding filled 1/2 of screen. The top engine chrome cover leaked oil out after runnning. Fuel gauge float was defective and did not work properly.

When I called Briggs and Stratton for help, They sent out parts needed. Sometimes there were errors in parts sent, but at least I did not need to take to a shop for repair! After fixing these issues all was well.

Being stupid I sold the 30471 generator and purchased a Generac XG8000E, Thinking it was better overall Made in USA.

What a mistake I made buying a new Generac XG8000E,There are so many cons and issues. The frame is not one piece,the handle end section was bolted to the main frame with bolts that were self threading and had a drill tip to cut hole. Both of these self drilling/threading bolts were stripped out. I called Generac for help, they say they do not carry or sell parts to call Parts Tree.

Parts Tree does not carry or know what the end frame is. This went on with every issue on this generator.

Issues on Generac XG800E are: Poor workman ship in assembly and no quality control. Fuel splashes back when carefully trying to fill tank (fine inlet screen not letting fuel pass through). 90% of assembly bolts had stripped threads and cross threaded. Plastic fuel shut-off valve would turn very hard or fall into control panel. Plastic fuel filter rests on vibrating metal motor shroud. To service battery you must remove frame side plate and gas tank (tank has no drain or close shut-off). The narrow hard rubber wheels do not roll over the slightest step easily. Replacement metal parts do not fit as original. Many common parts are not available (on backorder). The outlets on control panel are weather covered,but not breaker buttons,charging jack or start switch. Louder rennning then Briggs and Stratton 30471. Latch on handles does not always work (sticks inward and will not lock).

I ran this new Generac XG8000E for 1 3/4 Hrs,the lift handle,entire right side of frame, part of gas tank and end frame plate Were so hot I burned my hand trying to move generator after it was shut off. Very poor design! Muffler exit sets inward of frame facing direction of lift handles,Exhaust heat blowing on end frame lift handle and frame end plate where battery is mounted on backside of end plate.

Maybe the engine with pressure oil system is good but the rest of this Generac is crap.

If you email Generac,You most likely get a reply from Sara,a phoney name..

*I purchased a new 2012 model of the Briggs and Stratton 30471 revision 01, There are improvements. The frame paint is better, The gas cap is vented through a hose (no more vented gas on the tank around the gas cap. Screening in fuel valve is improved. Some improved frame welding changes.

Ok I am a true American! But honestly this Briggs and Stratton is such a better design then the Generac XG8000E. Briggs 30471-01 runs quieter, Better frame, Metal fuel valve with removeable bowl and filter screen, Key start, Easier to roll tires, All outlets switches and buttons are weather protected, You can call and get most warranted parts. 3-Year warranty.

I give this 30471-01 5***** over Generac any day!!

Even though the Briggs has several China parts and was assembled in China. The Generac has some China parts assembled in USA with poor workmanship and no quality control.

To get a good view of the revised Briggs and Stratton 30471-01, See ad and pictures at globalindustrial.com

Thanks for reading my honest review, Have a Great Day.

Wonderful generator. Came well packaged with easy to follow instructions for the minimal assembly that was required. After putting the wheels on, connecting the battery cable and putting the provided oil in the crankcase it was ready to go. Started first time. Working well. Best part, American made.

Review of Xantrex Freedom 458 20-12 Inverter/Charger - Single Input/Dual

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $1,981.55

I installed this 458 12volt unit to replace the 24volt DR2424 unit to operate our house 4 Trojan L-16H-AC batteries. The 24 volt unit had a defective off-on switch. Having operated off grid since September 2001, neither of these units would properly charge our house batteries to the rated Specific Gravity readings of fully charged cell at 1.260-1.275. Had to replace the batteries continuously during the 2 year warranty period due to sulfation from the under charging cycle. Doing "E" charges did not correct the problem, but only increase plate shedding. In doing an "E" charge, my 7.5KW generator blew a stator winding which caused us a $6800.expense to purchase a new generator. The mfg would not correct the undercharging design cycle, and Trojan was kind enough to give us good warranty service on undercharged batteries. This last set turned in actually had sulfate which could be

viewed through the cap holes. On the 14th of January, I connected up the new Magnum

24 volt 3924 watt inverter to the new set of Trojan batteries with the monitor installed. This monitor will allow me to control the battery charge cycle, and adjust to prevent plate sulfation by reaching the correct Specific gravity readings after reaching the Float cycle.

I suggest that any one considering purchasing an inverter to carefully search for the unit that will fully charge each battery cell to the 1.260-1.270 values. We have gone through 4 sets of Trojan L-16 batteries due to undercharging. If smaller batteries are to be use, the problem I have experienced may not show up in their

system.

Update 11.15-2012. The installed Magnum inverter sales information given by their technical staff on 15 June 2010 was that their inverters operated by the gravity readings. This prompted us to purchase a new inverter, RD3924, from them in June

2011. Back surgery caused the installation to be done in January 2012. Right at the start, this new inverter proceded to operate in the same faulty condition as the Xantrex units. They installed a new custom control board with two missing resistors which almost over amperaged our generator windings. Their custom control board did not follow any of the inputs I made. Then they shipped me a remanufactured unit built in 2008 in place of my 2011 purchase one. In the process, I had the off-on switch fixed in our Xantrex DR2424, and removed the remanufacture Magnum product. In searching the internet for answers, I located Schneider Electric, and they gave me the information to set the DR2424 from the #7

position to the #2 position. This change adjusted the Bulk voltage to reach the factory 29.6 vdc, and continue it until the absorption cycle was completed. This ended the L-16H-AC battery cell undercharging. The short time the new December 2011

four new L-16H-AC were on the Magnum, one of the battery cells went dead.

Yesterday I install a new L-16H under warranty. In my discussion with the Trojan factory staff, they had told me to charge these tall batteries at the 29.6 vdc voltage, and in reviewing the downloaded information from the factory website, this same voltage is listed in the material. The conclusion, is that using these large batteries, the inverter purchased should have a voltage of 29.6 at the end of the Bulk cycle, OR you will not get the 80% Specific gravity reading in the battery cells. The last 20% charge is put in at the continued 29.6 voltage until the charge

amperage is lowered to the results of the rated amperhour battery rating divided by 40 is reached. In my case; 435/40= 10.87 amps. At this time, the Float cycle starts. My cell Spgr readings now are in the 1.280 value which is in the max value.

It has been published that the cell Spgr reading could go to 1.290, but that is really to high. The cell readings I am getting now, the possibility of getting cell sulfation is very low, and "Equalization" charges may not be needed as the higher Bulk voltage could very well stir up the electrolyte enough to prevent

stratification.

Magnum would not fix the problem using their engineering staff.

Have any questions, let me know. My system has been in operation since 2001.

Cheers!!!

Richard

Bought this battery to replace the dead original battery in the Earthwise cordless mower. Just for those who happens to be new on lead-acid battery: always fully charge the battery after use. I made a mistake leaving my original battery discharged over time until I was about to use the mower, like how I handle Lithium polymer batteries, big mistake!!! Anyway, this new battery pack worked great, seemingly more power than the original and higher capacity too. I can literally use only about half of the capacity to do the same job that needed full capacity of the old battery. Time will tell the lifespan of this new battery pack.

I was disappointed when my 3 year old Homelite mower's battery stopped holding a charge. I was even more disappointed when I couldn't find a replacement battery for my model.

Thankfully, after some quick disassembly with a #1 Philips screwdriver, I discovered that the battery case housed TWO 12V Lead Acid batteries wired in series, and the dimensions looked pretty standard.

These Chrome brand batteries are a nearly perfect drop-in replacement and installed in minutes with no special tools. (a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench to tighten up the wiring)

A screw-terminal battery would be an identical replacement for the stock battery, but these worked just fine.

Battery charges perfectly with the stock Homelite charger, and I can easily mow for 2 hours on a single chargemore than enough to handle our little 1/4 acre lot!

One concern: packaging was very cheesy...no cardboard box, no bubble wrap, just the battery wrapped in a couple of USPS delivery envelopes. Thankfully they arrived without damage, but a carton with proper packaging (and some exterior marking that there was a battery inside) would have been helpful.

Subtracting one star for substandard packaging, but otherwise a 5-star product

I live in Florida, so there is plenty of sunshine. I bought this kit directly from Goal Zero when the new Sherpa 50 first became available (for more than $100 more might I add). I have absolutely no regrets about buying this kit. I use the Nomad 13 solar panels daily to recharge my cellphone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, and set my phone out in the morning around 8 AM with around a 65% charge on my phone. By 11:30 AM my phone is close to fully charged. The solar panel even charges on cloudy days, although I usually get only a 90-95% charge. On absolutely rainy days, I use the Sherpa battery to charge my phone. I use approximately 20% of the battery to charge it from 50 to 100%. I have used the battery to recharge a 2nd gen iPad as well as power tool batteries (using the included 12V adapter). I can charge the iPad directly from the solar panels, but it took about 3/4 of the day, rotating the panels periodically. Considering it took me only ~4 hours to fully charge the Sherpa battery, it makes more sense to recharge the iPad directly from the battery than from the solar panel. Even though the new Sherpa is about 1/2 the weight of the old one, I would not recommend using this on casual hiking trips, as it still weighs more than 1 lb. with the solar panel plus the battery plus the inverter. For me, the whole point of hiking is to get way from everything, so I only take my phone for emergencies. I leave the tablet and other electronics behind. I use it on car camping trips and around the house, and couldn't be happier.

Honest reviews on Goal Zero 42005 Sherpa 50 Silver/Black Solar Recharging Kit

First of all, I love this thing. It works very well and for its size, it packs a lot of battery power. I also have the Goal Zero Escape 150. I wanted a smaller unit that I could take with me overseas and on adventures. I mainly wanted to power USB devices and some other things (camera battery chargers, etc...). The one big one was my MacBook Pro 15" Retina (85W power supply). While the inverter is capable of 100W, the combination of a Sherpa 50 + inverter only allows for up to 75W. Apparently, a Sherpa 100 is coming, which when used with the inverter will power up to 100W. I didnt know this until I was trying to charge my MBP on a flight and the battery 'failed' (the error message on the LCD). It charged for a few seconds, reset, charged for a few seconds, etc... My MBP has a 95WH battery, so I was hoping to get it back up to about 50%. Because it was just a bit underpowered, I wasnt able to charge my MBP. I am ordering a 60W power supply for my MBP, which I know will charge it if its not in use... I would have probably still bought this knowing that, but it was a bummer to learn the hard way. I would have given it 5 stars had I known in advance that the inverter + Sherpa 50 only gave me 75W of AC power. I understand trying to have consumer friendly messaging, but not having any solid specs kind of hurt me here...

I do love this thing very very nice piece of kit. I'll definitely buy the Sherpa 100 when it becomes available too!

Yes, this IS a 3500/4000 watt generator. The description is correct, don't be thrown off by the photo that shows a 3000/3500 watt generator. If you order this, you will receive a 3500/4000 watt generator that otherwise looks exactly like the one in the photo.

I received mine today. Took about 30 minutes to unbox, install wheels and handle, hook up the battery, add oil, add gas, and press the start button. Started right up. Runs quieter than most lawn mowers, which was a welcome relief from the last (old) generator I had that sounded like a battle tank. This Champion 4000 has a nice big muffler, the size of a half gallon milk carton, unlike snow blowers and lawn mowers. No, it's not whisper quiet, but it compares favorably to the average lawn mower, in my estimation.

Seems to be well put together, and the electric start/remote features are great. It does have a pull starter for backup, and even the pull start is relatively easy. But I got this for my 75-yr-old mother, who doesn't quite have the arm strength for the pull start. So she can just press the electric start button (or use the remote start fob).

It also has a digital readout that shows (1) output voltage (mine is running at 125V), (2) cycles per second (mine is running at 63 Hertz), and (3) hours.

So far, I'm impressed.

PS--engine oil is NOT included. You'll need one quart of 10W-30.

PPS--If you really need the electric start to work a year or two from now when your power goes out, I also recommend buying a Battery Tender Junior 12 volt battery charger to keep the battery charge topped up. You can connect the Battery Tender to the generator battery and keep it plugged into a wall outlet in your garage year-round. The Battery Tender will keep the generator battery topped off, and will shut itself off without over-charging the battery and frying it. You cannot do this with a regular car battery charger, which will keep charging the battery and will eventually fry it.

10/29/12 Update: I just pulled the generator out of 12 month's storage to get ready for Hurricane Sandy. After filling with gas and cranking repeatedly with the electric starter, it wouldn't start. I finally removed the air filter cover, removed the foam filter element, and sprayed starter fluid into the carb, and it started right up. So if your generator won't start after a long storage, try this trick.

Based on excellent reviews and the exact features I wanted, I ordered this model. I arrived within 2 days. When I opened the box, I found that the motor mount was completely broken. It's that silver die cast thing that attaches the motor to the frame.

This is when I discovered that this item is not eligible for the return. I followed the instructions and contacted the seller: Generators-Plus. They told me they do not accept returns nor do they replace the unit. They can either ship the part to me or to the authorized repair shop. The nearest repair shop for me is at least 1hr drive, not to mention that this is over 120LB unit and I'm not a bodybuilder. They told me to contact Amazon for replacement. Called Amazon and they told me they have nothing to do with it because the item left the warehouse in a good condition. They told me to first try and repair it and then if I can't they would see what they could do.

I told them I would try, but I said, I was still not happy with how this is handled, seems the customer's interest are the least of their priorities. I said I would reflect it in the review, which is what I'm doing now.

And then she really disappointed me, she said: that would be perfectly fine, good bye, and hung up on me.

I hope I will be able to repair it and I will post the update. Regardless of the outcome, this is not a good service.

Bought this for $359 a steal. Got the last one in stock before Hurricane Irene. Easy to set up, easy starting. Quieter than I thought. Lost power on Sunday August 28th. Ran the generator continuously from Sunday through Tuesday until power was restored. I did change the oil at 5 hours as suggested. Absolutely no problems a real lifesaver. Never used the pull start.

I just recieved my champion generator and so far I am very happy with this purchase. I ordered it standard shipping on a Tues. and it arrived on the following Monday. The box was in great shape no dents or holes. The wheel kit had to be assembled and you have to put oil in it before you start it no big deal. It is delivered with the battery and remote start. Once i put the oil in and added gas I tried the electric remote start and it started right up first try. I was supprised how quiet it ran without allot of vibration quiter then some of the other generators I have seen. I only ran it for about a half hour or so but so far I would definitely recomend this genetor.

While the generator was delivered promptly and was easily assembled, the engine refused to start. It cranked over fine, but would not run. I verified the oil level, tested the spark capability, and engine compression. No problem found with any of these items.

That suggested a fuel problem. I found the engine would only start after I injected a small amount of fuel into the cylinder, or carburetor air intake. Of course this is not normal practice, and should not be required. This suggests this unit has a fuel priming problem.

I've tried to call Champion tech. support, but have not yet gotten through or had my voice mail contact message returned. The literature that comes with the item states they have a 24 hour technical support line, but that is only for emergencies (not sure what constitutes an emergency). The normal Tech Support 877 number is open M-F at 0830 (PST). My call at 0845 was met buy an "all technicians are busy" message and a 37 minute wait time... Needless to say so far I'm not impressed by this "support"...

1/13/2012: The generator has come back from the repair shop. Although the carburetor was replaced, the Tech believes the problem was more the result of a weak battery effect on the choke stepper motor. He feels that the stepper motor does not operate properly when the battery has less than a full charge. Right now the unit will start without "fuel injection" into the air intake. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts that way.

Still, this unit (a new model for 2011) is quite a value even with this little 'glitch'.

I have a Magellan Roadmate 1700 that works well both inside and outside my house. With this power supply, I am able to set up my routes and charge the battery inside my house. The battery never did get fully charged while in my car, but does charge in the house.

It works, it's cheap. Nuff said.

(I use it with my Magellan 1700. It has ample amps (the max) so it will charge fast.)

Received quickly from the vendor. Plugged it in and it works well. I use it to plan trips inside the house prior to getting into the car. I find it a critical accessory since the GPS battery has a short life.

Honest reviews on Original Magellan OEM Power AC Adapter wall charger for Maestro

I purchased the Magellan OEM power AC adapter in August 2011 but didn't open the package until February 2012. The cord was enclosed but not the part that plugs in to the outlet. I contacted this company knowing too much time had lapsed to return but expected at least some response. Received no acknowledgement from them at all.

The AC power supply allows me to pre-program the Magellan Roadmate 1700 LM while I'm indoors. It works as needed. The AC charger should be included with the Roadmate. The purchase through Amazon went smoothly.

Buy TrakMax MPPT 40A 12 24 Volt Solar Charge Controller Battery Charger

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $225.98
Sale Price: $219.98
Today's Bonus: 3% Off

The TrakMax MPPT 40A has been operating for several weeks now under a number of different weather conditions. I have a fully instrumented Panel-Charger-Battery-Inverter-Load system as a research tool. The charger appears to be doing the right thing under all of the varying conditions. The only thing I don't yet understand is that the indicator lights don't always reflect what is happening especially during overnight. If I reset the unit the lights are correct. There does appear to be some bleed from the batteries back to the panels at night and that might be why the lights change. I did send an email request for more information about the lights and bleed but have not yet received a response. That said, I am happy with the performance of the charger as it is doing a good job of keeping the batteries optimally charged.

Reviews of Travel/ Wall Charger w/ IC Chip for Apple iPod 3G / 4G / Video

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this little charger, cause it's portable and works with all ipods with dock connector. We have two, and one is the new video ipod and the charger works great! Has led light to let you know it's on. Can pack it up and it takes no space at all.

Glad I found it.

Regarding this iPod wall charger...

--I wondered why the same product kept coming up with different prices. Maybe because they want to hide poor reviews and keep starting fresh? The first time I plugged it into my iPod, for a few minutes the backlight of the iPod turned on, but not the text. Then the light went off and I was not able to get the iPod to respond again for two hours. It was dead. I made sure the lock switch was off, I tried to reset, I plugged it in using the Apple brand charger that has been working fine...but nothing worked. It was gone.

--Perhaps it was a coincidence that, despite the iPod working fine for two years (including a couple of hours on a flight just yesterday), the first time I plugged it in to charge with this product, it died. However, it also seems possible that this product provided the wrong electrical supply to the iPod and fried it, at least temporarily. I don't feel like trying it on other iPods to test this theory, though.

--I thought I was getting a good deal by buying this for 1 cent and paying $4.99 shipping and handling. Now I realize the ploy there is no reason to return it for a $0.01 refund, and shipping is not refunded.

--I urge people to avoid this product.

This little charger works great. It is the second one of it's kind that I have purchased. The last one took a lot of abuse and therefore I needed to replace it. Would buy it again. Charges quickly and is quite handy.

Product (charger for ipod) exactly as pictured, shipped quickly, was cheap but works excellently (even better than the plug in to the computer charger the ipod came with), you can actually use the ipod while it is charging. Would highly recommend, A+++++++

It took over three and half weeks to receive the product. I e-mailed the company to alert them to the fact that I hadn't received the charger. They responded in two days and let me know that it was sent to the wrong address and that they were sending another one. Great. I received the charger two days later. Even better. The first time I used the product, though, it broke. One of the prongs came off in the wall outlet. There is a reason these products are so cheap. Buyer beware.

Cheap Amzer Mini USB Retractable Car Charger - Retail Packaging - Black

Customer Ratings:

Before I got this product, I didn't really pay much attention to what type of port my phone takesthe T-mobile G2, but now I know that it's micro USB, and this charger is a mini USB.

Although it is also partially my mistake for not knowing this, the product stated "Compatible with newly launched devices like T-Mobile G1, T-Mobile G2, HTC Hero, HTC Ozone, HTC Snap S511, BlackBerry Curve 8350i etc"

Why would you put that on your product description...

Anyways, it's such a little amount that I don't really care about returning it, but at least change the description so others will not make the mistake I did because of a false description of the product.

Cheap Optima 8022-091-FFP RedTop Group 75/25 Starting Battery

Customer Ratings:

My 2002 vette needed a new battery and instead of buying the OEM Delco I decided on the Optima RedTop for a lot less money and more starting power. The engine never cranked better on start up.

Worked great for 6months, then lost current. Wouldn't turn the starter over with out putting it on charge. Got progressively worse. Bought a battery tester and the battery failed the test.

NOTE-

Amazon doesnt allow returns for Car battery's so i guess i have to eat $100+. I realize you do get a bad batch, but not being able to return is what warrants the low review.

Below is a copy of the email I got from Optima regarding a battery purchased from Amazon.

So be aware the money you are thinking you are saving maybe costing you big time. You should also know that for marine batteries Otima is strongly reccomending the use of there $200 charger to keep them charged properly.

Hello John,

Amazon.com is not an authorize online OPTIMA retailer, We do not know where they acquire the OPTIMA batteries nor does Amazon.com honor the OPTIMA warranty.

Honest reviews on Optima 8022-091-FFP RedTop Group 75/25 Starting Battery

ive been using the dual purpose blue tops in my boat and have been so impressed with them that ive put one of these in my truck.

when you think about how much you depend on the thing its pretty reasonable to spend the extra money IF the product is true to its claims.

in my experience these things are worth paying extra for. i never worry about them.

These batteries are the most cost effective on the market, especially in applications where they are not used often. They will hold a charge for more than a year in storage e.g., antique cars.
