Elite LCD Car Charger For HTC EVO 4G Review

Elite LCD Car Charger For HTC EVO 4G
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This charger is of good quality. It charges the phone well as long as GPS is not in use. I just used it on a 3 hour trip. I started with only 5% battery life. During the trip the phone with navigation was on the whole time. I didn't have any problem. However, when I arrived at my destination the battery level was still at 5%. Basically the charger will provide the power needed for the phone to operate if GPS is on. Once you turn off GPS the phone battery will start charging.

I read several review about other chargers and they all have the same situation, so to be honest I was expecting that.

I installed the SG-4 with a 50 watt solar panel on a motor home. This setup replaces a non-functional 7-watt panel that was supposed to keep the coach batteries charged. The controller is mounted behind the coach monitor panel and I connected it to the original solar charge wiring, which made the installation pretty easy. It is pretty much install and forget and it has worked perfectly for 2 years. The system has kept the two 6 volt house batteries and a 12 volt chassis battery fully charged while the RV has been in winter storage as long as two months unattended. It works as advertised and keeps the batteries healthy. It has internal circuitry (diodes I suppose) that keep the batteries from discharging back through the panels at night. Since it is only rated to 4.5 amps, you would not be able to use much more than 50 watts of panels with this controller. That means it is not suitable where you have to have a lot of energy to recharge batteries quickly. But for charge maintenance, this is perfect.

We went to the Mfg website and looked at all the help files, followed all of their recommended procedures, and test procedures and nothing helped, it's just dead.

I recently purchased this item to go with the Harbor Freight 45 Watt SunPanel kit as their controller leaves a lot to be desired. This unit is the ideal controller for this kit if you want your battery to be regulated properly.

Honest reviews on SunGuard SG-4 4.5 amp 12 volt Solar Charge Controller Regulator

I've had mine for over a year and it's just perfect for what it is. Vastly better charging than the dumb threshold on/off units. Temperature compensation is excellent. Albeit not MPPT, it really gets your batteries charged to their peak charge by floating the proper temperature-compensated voltage/amps to them. I.e., cold mornings you'll see like 14.6v, hot summer afternoons 14.2-ish.

How it works: When your battery needs charging, it directly connects your solar panel to your battery, so your solar panel voltage drops to battery voltage (below optimal, which is why MPPT is better). As the battery is charged, the voltage climbs to meet the target (say, 14.4v), it starts pulsing the current very rapidly to the battery to give it just the right amperage it needs to hold the target voltage. You'll see the solar panel voltage rise above battery voltage as this starts to happen. The target voltage is held and over time, the amperage taken from the panel decreases. Cool.

My application is my first dip into solar to maintain two big batteries in my Dodge diesel pickup that isn't driven often and is not located near an outlet. And when it is driven, the system only puts out 14.0 volts, not 14.4 like many other cars do, so while batteries certainly get a charge while driving, short drives can't replace all the energy taken on start-up. Compare that to say my 2008 GM which puts out 14.7v for the first 15 mins or so, then 14.4.

Even in the short winter days, a 10 watt panel is overkill, probably could have gotten by with a 5 watt panel. Again, my use is not "charging", it's "maintaining." I agree a 50W panel is about the max you can use on this, which is rated to be 4.5A at 12v (54 watts), or ~3.8A at 14V. That's still a pretty good charging rate for a single battery in applications where it is discharged.

I might put the solar panel in the interior (factory tint side windows block quite a bit) and see how it goes. Then again, I might bring the batteries to the basement for the winter and treat them to weeks of desulfating from my BatteryMinders.

I use a "Watts Up" on the solar side and battery side to monitor Whr, amps, volts, etc and a voltmeter on the batteries. Neat stuff!

I bought this to replace a cheap controller that I use with a 15watt solar panel to keep a Jeep battery charged. The cheap controller just switched on and off and didn't have PMW to 3-stage charge the battery.

The good

It is ruggedly built with heavy duty wire in and out. It's in a heavy duty plastic shell that's filled with "potting compound" to make it water proof. The 4 wires come out through the potting compound. (They do warn you to install it so water doesn't collect in the open end of the shell.)

I hooked up a voltmeter and it's not contstantly turning on and off like the prior one. Now I'm getting a steady (in the short term) voltage based on the battery's state of charge.

The bad

There aren't any LEDs. You can't tell if it's working without a voltmeter and then you can only see one measurement at a time. (Volts in, volts out.)

There are cautions all over the instructions about not shorting out the solar power leads or it will ruin the controller. If you'll frequently be connecting/disconnecting the solar panels, install a short proof automotive connector that also prevents you from reversing the polarity.

I ordered one of these on Friday and had it on Monday via USPS. It was exactly sized for my six year old Belkin Battery Backup and perfectly replaced a NPW36-12 battery that managed a respectable six years of life before expiring. The quality of workmanship on these batteries is exacting (you can tell just from looking and handling) and it charged right up in under twelve hours (the standard time on this Belkin) even tho I let it charge a full 24 hours before plugging in my Tivo and DirecTV units to it. That's the total load on this unit because we have frequent surges and power outages year round here in Colorado and it is a a pain to have them both reboot every other day due to lightening strikes and such. My Belkin is rated for ten minutes at light load and I put them both on battery load and got sixteen minutes out of the unit before the rapid beeping that indicates it's about to shut down occurred (the old battery only managed 12 or 13). I am very pleased. Surges are over instantly of course (unless they are multiple when they come) and power outages usually last about 4 or 5 minutes max. Needless to say I am well pleased. Now to the good part the battery cost about half what other sellers here on Amazon want and was shipped free. That's why I'm emphasizing the quality build. I can't speak to longevity yet but if there are short term problems I'll update this review and I'll update it again when I need to replace the battery. So far a quality product at a decent price with free shipping. That's all one can ask in today's disposable marketplace.

Did some research and wanted to go with a 24v solar pv setup on the roof (520 watts total), but still have a 12v battery bank. You'll need an MPPT controller for this, and the Tracer by SainSonic 30amp controller works great. I have it hooked up to 2x175ah AGM batteries, and it keeps them charged and ready. It's interesting too how it takes a 24 volt input from the solar panels (actually closer to 34 volts in the direct sun), and down converts to a 14.5 volt charge and increases the amperage from about 10 amps from the panels to over 20 amps feeding the batteries. Makes for a quick recharge for my battery bank. I recommend getting the plug-in digital meter so you'll have some idea what's going on with your system.

We purchased this item from Amazon in 12/12. It was set up and running by the end of the year. All associated components (solar panels, batteries, wiring, etc.) were new. At first it worked as expected. After a couple months it started to take a day off" sometimes. It then would work again. We contacted customer support and they agreed to work with us. The next problem that then started was that the battery charge indicator light would be blinking green (full batteries), but no power was available. A battery voltage check showed about 12v instead of the 14.4v cutoff for charging (the point at which the light should blink). Any attempt at introducing a load, no matter how small would blow out the fuse in the battery circuit, but never the fuse in the load circuit (10A). After many attempts on their part to try to make it my fault, they agreed that it was a faulty controller, but that since more than 3 months had passed by then, return shipping was my problem. They promise to refund my purchase amount within 5 days of receipt of the controller. If there is any further problem with the return, you will read about it here. It worked ok when it worked, but customer service could not answer ANY questions put to them (such as determining the rating for the fuse in the BATTERY circuit). It has a 30A solar input limit so I used a 30A fuse (the instructions call for a fuse, but don't give a clue as to it's amp rating). They couldn't say if that was right, wrong, or even seemed to understand that I was following THEIR own directions. 3-4 stars for operation (when it works), 3 stars for prompt (but uninformed)customer service, and 1 star for me paying to return it. **** Our money was refunded within 5 business days as promised. Once again, the customer service was prompt and courteous, but not helpful other than just having us send it back.

I have just fired up this Controller. I followed the connection sequence and the start-up procedure, and everything turned out perfect, I am currently only feeding in 200 watts of panel power , but I will be adding another 150 watts soon. I love the fact that it can handle up to 150 volts of panel input, so hooking the panels in series allows for much smaller losses through the wiring and more current into the batteries for quicker battery recovery time. Nice construction and clean step through start-up make this unit A+ for me.

Honest reviews on TRACER MPPT 3215RN Solar Charge Controller 30A 12V 24V EP

This MPPT controller is awesome. I got 3 100 watt Renology matched panels (the best) and hooked them up in series to this controller. The batteries were getting charged way past sunset actually until it got dark. The controller puts way more in the batteries then a PWM (almost 15 volts). I like the feature of extending battery life with its battery optimization. I noticed the batteries are getting fully charged with this controller. I have the prowatt SW2000 inverter so I can run the refrigerator or the air conditioner. The solar panels and the controller keep up with the small air conditioner on a sunny day. The only downside is that my wind charger sensed to much voltage and kicked on the brake. I moved the wind charger to another battery bank. You may not be able to share the battery bank with a wind charger. The manual is not that great just adequate. It is easy to set up; connect the solar panels then connect the batteries and change battery type done.

To me this radio works better than the small two way radios, thats why I bought it. Yes it's a little bigger than the 2 way radios, but what I really wanted was more clearly transmission and a longer range which is what I got.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

This is a reasonable product for the price. I liked that I could power it with the included car adapter without any batteries required. With the small attached antenna, it seems the range from inside a car is probably only a few hundred yards. So I bought a magnetic roof mounted antenna at Radio Shack for $35 (I later saw one at a truck stop for $20), plus a $5 adapter to convert the normal CB antenna plug to the smaller plug on the Midland. This improved reception, I'm estimating to about a mile radius (my estimate is based on conversations I hear from truckers in the opposite direction on the freeway; at 60 mph (so about 120 mph differential speed), a conversation comes in and then fades out in about 1 minute total. But a 1 mile radius is still pretty pitiful for a CB, you really don't hear much of the chatter even on a busy truck freeway like the I-10 between California and Arizona. And transmission seemed even weaker; I couldn't get anybody from the opposite direction to hear me, but rather only people a few hundred yards in the same direction. So in short, if you want something to chat with a caravan buddy, two of these would likely work fine and are a great price (and you don't have to mess with batteries like with many newer handheld two-way radios). Add an antenna if you want the bare minimum ability to communicate with truckers. For anything more, you have to lay down more bucks for a much more powerful CB radio that can blast a signal and can pick up signals much farther away.

For those who buy a CB for their kids to have fun on family road trips, be aware that some truckers have really really foul mouths (I have a very high tolerance for those things, and even I think some of the things a few drivers say are just downright gross). It can still be fun, but be ready to turn down the volume!

Best Deals for Midland 75-785 40-Channel CB Radio

I think you're missing a fundamental fact about handheld radios. They don't work well inside of a car. For people who are used to mobile CB's with an external antenna, of much greater length, sitting out on top of the car and using the body of the car as a ground plane... you just can't compare that to a handheld. You're going to hate it. If you're inside of the car, the metal body of the car is destroying most of your transmission. You need to get the antenna outside of the car. If that means getting the necessary adapters and wiring your handheld to a magnetic mount antenna on your roof, then so be it. You will find you radio is getting out MUCH farther with that external antenna.
