I was recently on a 10 hour road trip and used the Power Cup, it worked great. Both my wife and my laptops were connected to the Power Cup and we didn't have any issues. The fan does get a little loud, but not loud enough not return the Power Cup. I would strongly recommend this product.

I was really excited about the concept and creativity of this device. It does what it says it will do and successfully charges whatever items you insert into it. Items plug into the USB port fine, however, you really have to apply pressure to put plugs in and pull them out, same for when you insert the device in your lighter outlet. I am worried that eventually something is going to get jammed or break off. So handle with care when using.

The PowerCup kept my Kindle, phone and then laptop fully charged. Very Cool. Only disadvantage was that the cord is on the short side.

Honest reviews on PowerLine PowerCup 200/400 Watt Mobile Inverter with USB Power Port

Bought this unit and ran it 24 hours right away on 2x 12 hour trips where it ran an 85W Apple Macbook and a Acer 17" laptop (not together) with nary a hitch, glitch or problem. Also used the USB port simultaneously. This unit has a loud fan which comes on as required and seems to be a single speed fan high or nothing. It is audible even at highway speeds. However that is the price you pay for heat dissipation with this small size the alternative being a giant heat sink housing and a brick sized clump I'll take the fan thank you. The case stayed cool, the air coming out was never hot it seemed to handle the load without effort. It has visible and audible alarms, cool touch case and a perfect size box for use in a car. The 12V plug is adjustable for fit in different sized sockets. The case has plenty of openings for air flow. I wish the fan were not as prominent but otherwise I cannot fault this unit whatsoever and it ran perfectly for 24 hours straight. 1 year warranty. By using this unit with a tethered Droid phone we had constant internet on the road via laptop and 3G wireless. How cool is that.

I LOVE my POWERCUP!! I spend a lot of time on the road so I try to have everything I'll need in the car. My car is like my moving apartment lol. The POWERCUP supports constant 200W and peek 400W which is more than enough for most of the small electronics you might bring in the car. My car only allows Max 120W (12V 10A) so no worries as long as I don't plug too many things at the same time. The POWERCUP has no problem charging my 14" laptop and I-pod at the same time. Some inverter can only charge or supply power for a laptop but not simultaneously. This product can do BOTH. I bought this two months ago and it's been working great!

To make it easier to read:

Pros:

-Very quiet(Compared with the bulky, square type of inverter)

-Cute cup design (sits right in the cup holder, easy to reach and plug)

-Continuous 200W output (enough to charge a laptop, cell phone and I-pod)

-Exterior cord (freedom to put your inverter anywhere within the cord length)

-Two outlets and a USB port(allows charging multiple device at a time)

-Auto shot down when engine is turned off(protect car battery from being drained out)

-Tight fit into the car DC socket(no shaky/on and off output, also adjustable to fit different cars)

Cons:

-The two AC outlets are horizontally placed so with most charger that has a adapter(such as cell phone charger), can't charge two at the same time.

-Inverter fan vents from the bottom(I worry about overheat because the vent is being covered in the cup holder but so far mine seems to work just fine)

Overall great product, absolutely love it! Can't imaging being without it! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE MY POWERCUP!!

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Aspect Solar has come along with a game changer for portable power.

Specs total weight is only 25LBS and folds up nicely into a suitcase like package. Set up is easy and getting power even quicker. Real time to get power going (battery was already somewhat powered up) was less that 4 minutes the battery will charge from completely dead to full power in around 5hrs (sunny day) and 9ish hours on a cloudy day. USB sockets, 12V DC socket, AC universal socket and a standard DC input for wall charging all come standard out of the box. The coolest feature is the "Sun Tracking". Once its up and working you never have to reposition the solar panels to get maximum charge, the device will track the sun for you. Super sweet.

The use case scenario for this product is pretty unlimited but here is how I see my self using it -

Emergency lately storms in the US seem to be more and more devastating, with most of the problems coming after the storm not during. If your area has no power for days let alone weeks how are you supposed to keep food protected or communicate to the outside world. This is a must have in your emergency kit.

Outdoor/Cabin

Living in the west provides me with all kinds of outdoor opportunities, knowing that I can take power with me any were means I can do pretty much anything anywhere put it in my cabin for primary or back up power. What this really means is that I can work from anywhere the ski cabin, the fishing cabin or the "I just don't want to be in the office" cabin .

The price while not cheap is definitely affordable especially if you consider what it will do for you.

Aspect Solar's sun-tracking SunSocket(tm) solar generator is portable yet without the 65 plus lbs. of weight to carry around (like they usually have)! it is 25 pounds and whether you are taking camping, to another country, whatever the case might be it is easy to cart around with its light-weight briefcase style.

It also has USB ports that work even when you have folded up your solar panels for the night so you can keep charging your phone, iPad, etc.

It should also be noted that the solar panels stay connected to the briefcase itself keeping set up/take down super easy (there is even an automatic button).

Plus, with the sun-tracking device you are getting a full charge all day without having to take time to adjust on your own.

A fantastic product!!

Review of UPG 24v Scooter and Wheelchair Battery Charger - 2 Amp Hour Charger

This is identical to the charger supplied by the Pride scooter company for my wife's Go-Go mobility scooter, and at a significantly lower cost. The previous one we had lasted for over 5 years. I would have rated this model higher except that you need to be careful connecting and disconnecting the plug from the charger body.

If you yank on it, you could break the plastic tabs that hold the socket inside the charger body. These tabs gave way on my previous charger, and the socket and wires began to come out of the charger body each time I disconnected the plug/cable, and I could find no way to repair it.

Reviews of Go Power! GP-RV-95 95-Watt Solar Kit with 30 Amp Digital Regulator

Go Power! GP-RV-95 95-Watt Solar Kit with 30 Amp Digital Regulator
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I bought this Go Power! 95 watt solar kit from a local RV dealer early this year. I liked this panel because it was one of the smallest panels that I could find that still put out a lot of power. I have not had to worry about dead batteries since I had the kit installed on my travel trailer. The panel really does get power even in overcast days. This kit comes with a 25 amp charge controller so I can add more panels to the system down the road without changing the regulator, although I don't think I need to at this time. The display shows the voltage of the batteries and current that the panel is putting into my batteries. All in all the kit does what it claimed to do and I am very satisfied with the system.

I purchased this product and had it shipped with the idea of installing it before an upcoming vacation. Unfortunately, I received the package and found that the accessory kit ( regulator, brackets, wire, instructions, etc. ) was missing from the box. All I got in the box was the solar panel. I sent an email to the manufacturer and was sent the missing parts in just a few days. I was very impressed with the customer service I received from the manufactured and their prompt shipment of my missing parts. Amazon wanted me to send the item back and they would ship me a new one. That didn't fit into my time frame of installing before my vacation.

On the companies website there's a video for how to install a similar solar panel. I installed the Go Power 95 Solar Panel Kit based off this video. Installation was easy and mine installed much like the video. The only difference was having to buy screws for a rubber roof and Dicor sealant for the roof. I found the Dicor at a local Camping World. The kit comes with screws for a fiberglass roof but not for a rubber roof. After installation it was late in the day with heavy overcast, I was getting .6 amps. This was installed on a 26' travel trailer with dual batteries. I had no problems installing the solar panel and was able to connect the wires to my fuse box instead of running the wires all the way to the batteries. It would have been almost impossible to neatly run a wire from the panel to my batteries directly.

The next morning was sunny and I was pulling in 5.5 amps as advertised. I'm confident this solar panel will perform as expected for many years to come. My main reason for purchasing the panel is to keep the batteries charged as it sits in storage. Also to provide adequate battery charging when camping without power for a few days.

There are cheaper options on the market. I purchsed this one because I liked the clean look of the regulator and how it was made to go inside the RV. The small size of a 95 watt solar panel was also a plus. The regulator is easy to use and easy to read. I also appreciate that the cable included is UV protected and waterproof connections coming from it to the included cable.

Best Deals for Go Power! GP-RV-95 95-Watt Solar Kit with 30 Amp Digital Regulator

First I must say the quality is top notch. The installation is a breeze. The instructions are clear and complete. The panel is compact in size. Now for the best part... I just completed a 2 week vacation (June/July) across the western states and I was confident I would have power to spare when dry camping and this system did not let me down. On clear days the panel was providing a charge from about 7am to 6pm. The unit is rated to provide 5.45 amps but from 10am to 4pm I was easily getting 5.7 to 5.8 amps more than its rated current. Even better now... on completely overcast days it was still providing from 1 to 2 amps of current. You can't go wrong with this system. The charger looks great, is of high quality and provides all the information you'll need. The wire is of high quality as well. There are cheaper systems but they are not worth it. This system delivers on its claims and then some, you'll not find that with cheaper systems. Beware when buying lesser quality solar systems.

Honest reviews on Go Power! GP-RV-95 95-Watt Solar Kit with 30 Amp Digital Regulator

I got my go power 95 with the solar kit and regulator/charger in less than 2 days from Amazon. Perfect condition. I followed the directions and it started working immediately, 4.7 amps in the 5pm sun. I will check back in in a month for update. So far its Great!!

I'm impressed. We're at the coast as I write and it's foggy. The panel is putting out .1 amp. I think it's great considering there is NO sun. The other day we used the crok pot to prepare our dinner. It ran all day and the battery stayed charged. I might add one more panel in the future.

I found out that you need to watch where you park. We had to relocate the motorhome after parking where lots of birds rested in the tree. What a mess. The panel was easy to clean by following the instructions.

Best Deals for HTC EVO 4G Retractable Wall / Car Charger Combo Pack

Item received as provided in item description. AWESOME price for both products. Both chargers have a single push button that retracts the cord within the charger for a clean look & easy storage. Car charger has a "blue" light that lights up to indicate that it is properly inserted in to lighter for proper use which is great. Cords are thin & some complain about being to small but I've had no problems with length as an issue. I use the wall charger as my back up at work. Easy to store in my desk when I leave & keeps my phone charged for daily use while at work. Some have complained about the cords getting tangled or not made of quality construction but I think as with all "retractable" products the best thing is to take care of how you use it. Caution with retracting the cord will help extend it's life. I've been using the product now for over 2 weeks & have no problems with either of the chargers. I highly recommend these for daily use & you can't beat the price for both of them.

I have sleep apnea and must use a CPAP device every night. During a power outage I still need the use of my CPAP. I found use of this inverter along with a battery to be reliable and works as advertised.

Just got a chance to test this guy on a ~1,000 mile trip. Worked well, under varying temperature conditions. Like any inverter of this wattage it has a fan, and this one is loud, so I wouldn't recommend placing it too close to the front of the car.

I'm going to pick up a low-watt silent inverter to handle what I was using this for (laptop, cell charger), and move this guy to the back of the car. Still very glad I have it.

I've found CyberPower to be a solid manufacturer, used their support on a different item that was annihilated by UPS and they are US based (you're speaking to people who know the product, aren't just subcontracted phone support) and very helpful.

**Update a few years on. The contacts rusted rather quickly (I keep it inside the car, it must have gotten wet in the winter due to being stored near the snow-scraper). Recently this has started to wreak havoc on my car's electrical system and I have finally given up and stopped using it. Very disappointed. Still a big fan of CyberPower, but might stick to their professional products in the future.

I've had this charger now for a couple of months and used it maybe 5 to 6 times to charge my Odyssey batteries. The volt meter is crude (no actual voltage readout) but gives an idea bout the status. The charger portion works well, and has been reliable. I would buy it again.

I bought this 6A Odyssey Charger 3 years ago and have kept it connected to my motorcycle battery almost all the time. It has worked fantastic--in spite of some incidents (mostly my fault) that could have schnitzed it. Like dropping it twice, having bad or intermittant connection to the battery, operating outside in wind and snow, and hauling it 12,000 miles on a motorcycle. The idiot lights are very informative and it is easy to understand just what is going on with the battery. I can't imagine life w/o one of these.

Best Deals for Odyssey Battery OMAX-6A-1B Ultimizer Charger

I bought this as a trickle charger for an Odyssey battery installed in an airplane. My airplane sits in the hangar all winter, unattended, and the thing I don't like about this charger is that it has an internal cooling fan that runs continuously. Worse case scenario is the fan malfunctions and catches fire, with nobody around to notice. So, I'm actually not using the charger unless I'm there, which kind of defeats the purpose!

Honest reviews on Odyssey Battery OMAX-6A-1B Ultimizer Charger

If you're like me, you already have a handful of battery chargers around. I can think of four motorcycle specific chargers I owned before placing the order for this one. When my Odyssey ran down though (GPS left on), none of them really brought it back to life. Two didn't see it. Another saw the battery, and didn't it's best to charge it, but at 0.5watts, it got it back to a level that the bike would start from, but checking it with a meter the next day showed a below normal voltage. Knowing I plan to run these batteries from here on out most likely, I went ahead and ordered this. It was shipped quickly and arrived well packed. It did it's thing overnight, and got my battery back up to normal voltage. It comes with a battery harness to wire in, but my BMW has charging/jumping lugs on the side of the bike, so it's easy enough to use the clamps. Like another reviewer, I'm not crazy about the fan on the unit, but I'm going with the logic that the unit probably only gets hot when doing a heavy charge. Once the charger goes into maintenance mode where it's just keeping the battery topped off, I wouldn't bet that it would burn up if the fan quit. I hated buying another charger, but I'm happy I have it now.
