Have been pleased with the charger I ordered thru Amazon and the order fulfilled thru Jafrum. Fast delivery with a tracking number and in the manufacturer packaging material. I hope it lasts many years. I have the Deltran Battery Tender Juniors, like them also, but wanted a little more charging amperage and this Yuasa Smartshot has 900ma versus 750mA. I routinely use this float chargers on my car batteries too to help keep sulfation at bay.

Beware! I bought this product and tried to charge two different motorcycle batteries. It didnt work on either. The light would come to show that it was plugged in, but wouldnt charge the battery. I was desperate to get the bike running so I cut the cables and made a little set of jumper cables out of it...not ideal!

So far so good, the charger works great and the retractable cord is really nice. As a side note, I bought this for my husband's phone and noticed one day when I got in the car he was having issues with the cord and kept pulling on it to try and get it to retract...there is a button you push, the cord goes right in no problems. Just FYI.

I like this much better than my previous car charger. I can leave it plugged into the power point in my car and not have to worry about the cord getting in the way. Just push the button on the end and the cord retracts. It charges my HTC Inspire just fine, unlike some other chargers, plus all my other micro USB devices, too.

Discount WouXun KG-UV2D Ham/Commercial Dual Band VHF/UHF 136-174/420-520 MHz

Customer Ratings:

I purchased one of these from another vendor for about $130 shipped. I have used it for several months, including the collar mic, surveillance kits, multiple antennas, both as an amateur radio operator and in public safety. It works fine with good audio quality, but there are a few issues:

The radio's scan feature is crippled. If the radio is in scan, and you press the button to turn on the backlight, it stops scanning. If you press the button to turn on the LED, it stops scanning. If you try to lock the keypad, it stops scanning. If you want to change which channels are included in the scan, you have to reprogram it from a computer. You can't even use the dual VFO feature while in scan mode even though the second channel is still shown on the screen, it is never checked.

The radio itself has developed a problem. Under certain circumstances which aren't entirely clear, it will occasionally completely reset itself. I suspect this is due to a power connection issue inside the radio, but for something this cheap I'm not surprised. I'm probably going to replace it and use the broken one as a base station radio.

The belt clip, where it connects to the battery, is too tight. It takes serious effort to remove the belt clip. Which would be fine, except that it's also weak. The piece that actually fits in to the battery has broken on me, necessitating a replacement. In fact, all of the plastic pieces here are of significantly poorer quality than what you would get with, say, a Motorola.

I have used the longer antenna. It's too long to use in the field, but as a base antenna it works fine and does improve quality. While we're talking about antennas, on my original antenna the plastic piece has chipped, resulting in the actual antenna coming out of it at an angle. It still works, but yet another example of poor materials. The replacement antenna, the end cap fell off and got lost, so I had to cover it with gaffer's tape.

The surveillance earpiece works fine. The surveillance microphone does not. I am told that it results in a 'muffled' sound which is barely readable. The collar mic works fine.

The product was shipped in a timely manner and arrived when they said it would. The radio seems to be made really well and will probably serve the purpose that I wanted it for. The only problem that I have is that the Instruction booklet assumes that you already have experience with HAM radios. It is really hard to understand. I had to contact a HAM operator to get him to help me understand the language in the manual. The manual should also be proofed read by someone that speaks English if it is being shipped to the USA.

We bought this because we liked the idea of the cord retracting and not just hanging there in the car or taking up so much room in the glove compartment. It does work well, but the one we received does not retract all the way in. About 2" of the end that plugs into the phone hangs out. It's better than not retracting at all but it would be nice if it retracted all the way like the picture shows.

This charger does exactly what they say it does. It charges batteries using sunlight, even indirect sunlight. They must have changed their design slightly since the earlier reviews because mine came with a charge indicator to tell you when the charge is complete. It also has overcharge protection built in so you can leave batteries in the holder as long as you want.

The whole thing folds up into a package slightly larger than the 4 cell battery compartment. It weighs about as much as the batteries. With 4 x AA batteries installed it weighs about 8 ounces. It has arrangements for hanging it from a pack by lanyards, so you can charge on the go while you hike. This, combined with the light weight and small size make it an ideal source of electricity for back country backpacking.

Be aware that it only charges AA batteries. You can't plug in your laptop or your blackberry...or even AAA batteries, so plan accordingly. Mine charges AA batteries very quickly. They say that 4 hours of fairly bright sunlight will fully charge 2 AA batteries and 8 hours is supposed to charge 4 AA fully. Since I don't ever run my batteries down that low, I can't vouch for these times, but it will top off a partially drained battery in about an hour. Even on a cloudy day, it can top off 2 batteries in less than 2 hours. That is comparable to any AC charger I have ever used.

It uses a thin film photovoltaic array, so it's flexible. This is both good and bad. The thin film is much cheaper, less prone to crush damage and folds up smaller, but it's probably only good for about 5 years use, roughly 1/4 of the life span of more expensive cells. This time limit only applies to the time actually spent in the sun. The clock stops whenever it is stored in darkness, so if used only for camping or other outdoor or emergency use, it should last pretty much forever.

This is not supposed to be an outdoor solar panel to mount on your roof. It's a very tiny charger for emergency power (or camping). If you take it for what it is, this is a great product.

I purchased this charger in case of long term power outage (earthquake, ice storm, nuclear war, cap and trade-caused blackouts), with the intention of always having light by recharging AA batteries and using them in LED flashlights and lanterns.

I used this charger on Oct. 24 on a sunny day in central Illinois, on a pair of partially discharged NiMh 2400 maH batteries that read 1.2 volts. The charger brought them up to 1.36 volts quickly and showed them as fully charged. Impressed, I decided to purposely discharge a pair of AAs by running them in an incandescent flashlight. One battery read 0 volts and the other was at 1.0 volts and the filament of the bulb was just barely showing a red glow when I put them in the charger. The charger accurately diagnosed them as very low and started recharging them in a trickle mode. One trip to Walmart later, (1-2 hours total charge time) and both batteries were right at 1.36 V. I also ran a separate 4-pack of partially discharged batteries and they were charged fully in 1 hour.

Based on this small experience sample, I am very happy with this product, as it surpassed the charging times on the box on a sunny day, even in late fall, with the sun very low in the sky at mid-day.

I also feel the build quality of the product is high, based on first impressions only.

This charger is also very small, folding up into a box smaller and thinner than I expected. It also comes with a 4-pack of the excellent low-discharge Sanyo Eneloop batteries, which are a $8-10 dollar value.

It also has grommets to make it easy to use string or cord to affix it to a backpack or tie it down in windy conditions. I am planning on making a set of copper wire supports that can be used like tent stakes to hold this charger in place on flat ground or to prop it up to get true perpendicularity to the sun to maximize the energy capture.

In summary, I love this charger and highly recommend it.

Best Deals for PowerFilm AA Foldable Solar Charger

Been into Solar Chargers for the past 6 months. Interest in solar charges grew from wanting to be prepared for emergencies. The electronic devices that I have are powered through AA, AAA, and USB sources. Therefore, my focus was on finding a solar charger that can power one or any combination of the three. This is the review of the PowerFilm AA Battery Solar Panel Charger.

I was hopeful for this solar charger would be able to charge AA batteries. On the positive side, this charger did appear to have some ability to charge certain AA batteries with a significant charge. The panels and nylon material appear well made. Overall, this is a very lightweight and compact set up. In addition, there are two red LED lights that indicate a full-charge with a constant on, charging with a single blink, and indicates an empty charger or low battery with a quick two-blink sequence.

Unfortunately, the charger did not work with a lot of my Sanyo Eneloop LSD, Energizer NiMH, and Duracell NiMH. I tried troubleshooting by using both newer and older batteries, charging two batteries at a time versus four at a time, using the three different brands mentioned, using the solar charger during peak hours in direct sun and also indirect sunlight, charging for two-days in a row to ensure enough charge time, and switching between any of the four AA slots on the charger. Most of the batteries would result in a quick two-blink (empty charger or low battery) no matter the arrangement or length of time in the charger.

Of the batteries that were accepted by the charger (couple of Eneloops and four of my Energizer NiMH AA batteries), those batteries never fully charged. I tried leaving the batteries in for two days of sunlight, but it made no difference. I compared the charge on the batteries to ones that were charged by my Sanyo Eneloop USB AA/AAA charger and Energizer Charger. The Sanyo Eneloop and Energizer chargers resulted in batteries with a full charge, while this PowerFilm charger left the batteries approximately 70 percent charged at best.

Overall, I rate this PowerFilm AA Battery Solar Panel Charger a 2.0 out of 5.0 stars. It got two stars for what appears to be good build quality built into a compact and lightweight design. It did charge some of the AA batteries, but I could not make any distinctions on what characteristics made it possible to charge the AA batteries that it did. Still, the batteries that could be charged, were not able to charge completely. The lack of overall and dependable function is the reason why I docked 3 stars. I wanted to like this charger, but it was a disappointment. Perhaps I got a defective unit. I will continue to seek a dependable, compact, lightweight, and durable source of solar power.

Honest reviews on PowerFilm AA Foldable Solar Charger

I recently purchased this charger's cousin, the Powerfilm USB / AA Solar Charger, and was so impressed with that one that I decided to get this one, too. I was not disappointed; this one is just as high quality as the USB version, only it trades 2 AAs for a USB charging device. These are without a doubt the best small AA-type chargers I have ever used (I've been though about a half dozen). These are ideal for either power outages of those trips in the wild where you will be without civilization for awhile. Truly wallet-sized, yet can keep your AAs going until they finally die on you.

Well worth the money.

I am truly amazed. This is one of the fastest solar AA battery chargers I've ever owned. There are 2 charging indicator lights on the back of the battery compartment, so you can charge 2 or 4 batteries at a time and know the charging status of each pair. There's no USB connector on this model but if you combine this item with the Tekkeon TekCharge Mobile Power and Battery Charger, you can charge almost anything with it. (Powerfilm also makes a 2 battery/USB version of this product but I've found that it is not powerful enough to charge my 4th generation iPod Touch. The 2 battery version also has only 5 solar panels as opposed to the 6 on this unit.)

Charging is pretty straightforward. The two LED indicator lights have three states: a fast, faint blinking shows that sunlight is available but is not strong enough to activate the charging circuit. A steady once per second blink shows that the batteries in that section are charging. It doesn't take much light: I was able to activate the charger under a 60 watt light bulb (of course, full sunlight will work much faster). A steady light shows full battery charge. The LED's are quite bright, even in full daylight. I was able to charge 4 significantly-drained batteries in less than 4 hours. Completely dead batteries will take around 6 hours. Combine this item with the TekCharger and an extra 4 batteries and you'll be able to get your iPod and cell phone off the grid completely.

After reading great reviews of this on Outdoorgearlab, I bought this for a long bike trip I went on. The size and weight is excellent but it just didn't work reliably. I left it out in the direct sun on multiple attempts to charge. Although this should have charged my phone to full, I could only get 50% or less.

One of the problems is that there isn't enough feedback about the charge state of the battery. There is only one LED on the unit and their instruction manual says it turns from red to green when the battery gets 80% charged. You never really know how much charge is in there. Also, on a few occasions I charged it to green, took it out of the sun, then set it out to keep charging and it started over from red.

It did give my phone partial charges, so if you just need something to casually top off your phone while at the beach, it probably would work fine for you. However, for long trips where there is no access to electricity, reliability and consistency is important. I eventually returned this product. For my next trip, I'll probably try a more expensive panel from a different brand.

Best Deals for Instapark® Mercury 4S Ultra-slim Portable Solar USB Cell Phone

I use my Mercury 4S to charge my GoPro when I go backpacking. I leave the charger in the sun all day at camp while I'm out exploring, and charge up my camera at night. The Mercury 4S will fully charge my GoPro with an empty battery and even has some juice to spare. The charger is well made, easy to use, and super lightweight. The corner grommets make it very easy to attach to a backpack to charge up on the go.

One piece of advice, charge up your Mercury 4S before you leave on a trip. The battery takes about 4 hours to charge, so juicing up before an adventure makes sure you've got power when you need it. Be aware that weather conditions will effect performance. Cloudy conditions mean longer charge up times, but that is to be expected.

I highly recommend this item for anyone who needs to charge up their USB-powered mobile devices (phones, cameras, etc.) on the go. As long as you plan ahead, you'll have a charge whenever you need it.

GPS Portable Travel USB Plug-in Rapid 12 Volt Car Charger Reviews

Customer Ratings:

After breaking the power cord for my Magellan GPS, I looked around for a replacement. Magellan was ready to sell me a new one for $25. Same price for a generic one from an electronics store. Then I found another one here at Amazon for $12. And, finally, I came across this one for less than a dollar. The price disparity was so great that I was inclined to be suspicious of its quality, but for less than a dollar I was willing to risk it. It works just fine. As noted by another reviewer, the cord is just a little on the short side, but I have found it long enough to reach over the steering wheel from the cigarette lighter to the lower left corner of the windshield in my 2003 Toyota Rav-4. I've only needed to use it a single time since the purchase but so far, so good.

Original car charger was destroyed. Tried numerous usb adapters and chargers, all would power the unit but would not charge the internal battery. This charger/adapter did the trick. Although it doesn't have the feel of quality as the original (cord isn't rubberized or as long as the original) it is definitely worth the price. A+

This device works like it is designed to, however the cord is the coiled type, and seems a little short. If you are needing to span a fairly long distance from the GPS unit to the cigarette lighter plug, then you may consider a non-coiled design.

I have a Jeep Cherokee, and the GPS is mounted on the front windshield. Not a great distance to the lighter socket, but it is a bit of a stretch with this coiled cable.

Otherwise this one works well, with a good solid connection on both ends, and an indicator (red) LED light tells you the plug is operating.

The first time I used this wall charger, it did exactly what it was supposed to do, which was charge my iPod. Even though it doesn't seem relevant, I enjoyed the little blue light on the face of the unit. After using it, I unplugged the charger and set in on my desk. The second time I tried to plug in the charger, no lie, I noticed the electrical prongs from the charger itself were still in the wall outlet. Yep. When I unplugged the charger, the metal prongs broke off and stayed in the wall. It happened so easily that I didn't even notice it had broken until the next time I tried to use it. The most fun part about it was trying to find a useful rubber or plastic tool to pull the prongs out of the outlet. Yes it will charge your iPod. Yours may not break. Mine did. Luckily, Belkin seems to have pretty good customer service and warranties, so they are replacing the charger for free. All I have to do is pay to ship the defective unit to them :)

Charger works, USB cable doesn't. So I use my own cable.

I read the reviews and it seems this Belkin unit works "great" if it works at all. And if it doesn't work people are understandably unhappy. I didn't return mine, I just threw out the cable and used the one I got with my iPod. Works fine that way. I figure I lucked out in that it was just the cable that was bad. If the whole thing was bad I'd have to return it for a refund. Too bad they don't just sell the wall wart without the cable. We wasted a bit of time trying to figure out what was wrong.

Probably wouldn't wanna buy Belkin products again. I can't see why poor quality control wouldn't be the norm in all their other products.

I received this on time and in perfect condition, thanks for that. I wanted a product exactly like this for charging my T-mobile my touch 4g. When using the gps on the phone my phone battery dies within just a few hours. I fully charged it after receiving it and the battery light turned red when charging and turned green when fully charged. I then started charging my phone which was nearly dead and after approx 3 hours the recharging device died and the red indicator went out. I then plugged the charger in to my computer via usb and left it overnight (approx 10 hours). The red light is still on and its not fully charged. (I just figured it would charge after like 5 hours). I tried charging it using the solar panel but the charging indicator would not come on. All in all I think it lacks the performance I was looking for but for $30 maybe I expected to much.

Honest reviews on Solar Portable Battery Pack with Flashlight and Lantern - Ideal

I'm surprised this does not have better reviews, but it may be due to expectations of the unit. No the solar will not charge your phone to 100%, this unit is for emergency use and can potentially charge your device up to 50% under the best scenario. I did my own tests with the unit and using an extended phone battery was able to recharge it to 20% quickly if the unit was left outside on a normal sunny day. I dropped the unit from a height of 3 feet on to a hard surface and it landed on its side. Where it hit the orange plastic piece popped out and was easily snapped back into place. I retested all the features multiple times, including the solar function and noticed no issues with the unit.

In my opinion, for such a small unit it comes with multiple useful features and can keep you connected or give you enough power to make the necessary calls needed in many types of scenarios. While there may be other choices for an emergency or solar charger, this unit is small and lightweight, which is perfect for those who are concerned about the amount of weight they carry, especially in a backpack.

Pros:

Cost

Small size

Lightweight

Multiple features and options for charging

Cons:

Devices may recharge up to 50% under the best scenario, but expect more of a 20-40% range with most devices.

Been using this charger/flashlight for 6 months now.

5 MINUTE REVIEW (10 second review is below)

==================

CHARGER:

Has 1 USB port like on computers and 1 micro USB port like on your everyday android smartphone. The cable that it comes with plugs into both of these USB ports so you can use it as a parallel charger (charge the charger and your phone same time). Just plug your phone charger in the solar charger's micro port, then plug the cable from the regular usb port on the solar charger and the other end of the cable to your phone. Now both are devices are being charged simultaneously!

This device charges my android once and dies. Good, considering it's only 2 AA batteries and a .25W solar panel. It takes 2 days (YES I SAID TWO) of FULL sunlight for this to get to 75% charged. Which is also only as much as the solar panel can charge it. So unless you charge it like you charge your phone (via USB or AC outlet) then the charge LED will never go green (100%). The best conditions to use this in, POWER OFF your phone, charge the phone while the panel is in full sunlight, remove when phone is done to stop trickle, and you might be able to charge twice this way.

Charging non-droid phones you can do about 5 no problem. I have a verizon flip and a tracfone slider and they never drain the battery in the charger. They also have a 3 week standby where as a droid usually has about a day. So, if you got a cheap phone then this is a great buy for you!

FLASHLIGHT:

Beam is bright and with built in pocket clip on opposite end can illuminate a whole room when clipped to a backpack or belt loop for hands free operation. First click = Beam, second = SOS beam, third = 10 LED lantern bright, fourth = 10 LED lantern dim, fifth = OFF. I clipped the light to the center roof part of my tent and left it on all night from around 6pm until 6am. I forgot to put it in the sun that day and went back to it that evening again figuring it would be dead. To my surprise it actually lasted another whole night. So 24 hrs with the 1 LED beam.

The 10 LED lantern on the other hand is a lot brighter in smaller areas, easier on the eyes for reading, but drains the battery faster too. On the bright setting I got about 8 hrs constant before it started it's slow dim to dead process (which took about another hour or two before it fully died). On the dim setting, you can expect to get 12 to 16 hours before it starts dim(mer) to dead.

OTHER INFO:

If you want to prolong the life of this device, let it die COMPLETELY, then charge it FULLY (USB or AC). And by fully, I mean turn the lantern on high and let it run out if it needs it. Doing this will give the batteries inside it longer battery memory.

Also, you could upgrade the batteries in it by unscrewing the 4 tiny phillips screws. Sanyo 2700mah AA batteries (which are sold here on AMAZON) would pretty much double your devices life, but ALSO DOUBLE it's charge time. Well worth it if you want to use it for high powered devices like portable cameras or android phones or if you just want to store a larger charge for your other devices.

10 SECOND REVIEW

==================

Android Emergency Power Supply Barely...

Mifi 2200Again, barely enough to charge once.

12MP Camera Some have 4 AA high powered batteries in them and this charger has two weak ones. Do the math. Not happening without upgrade.

Motorola LR-Radios Charges 3 5 per day.

Non-Android Phone Very good product for traveling, multiple charges...

Flashlight beam/SOS 24 hours of constant light or emergency signaling (that's figuring you don't let it see sun during the day, if you do charge it then it should go almost indefinitely.)

Flashlight lantern bright/dim 8/16 hours constant light. (Same disclaimer as above, charge it and it should go indefinitely.)

REMEMBER: All this device has is 2 AA rechargeable batteries in it. Total each battery it's about 1300ma solar charged or 1800ma when charged via USB or AC. So if you can, charge it with your phone charger until the light turns green for the highest possible charge strength. Upgrade will take if from 1300-1800 to 2000-2700mah each battery. See longer review for more details how to upgrade.

Only CON is no color options. Although the bright orange does make it highly visible and easy to find. So it's kinda a PRO so you don't lose it.

I bought one of these in a local RV shop to replace an old cracked leaky vent in a 1990 Tioga Montara 21ft Class C motorhome. The new one fit perfectly. The sealing flange was a slightly larger diameter than the old one so it forced me to do the job right and scrape off all of the extra old goo that someone had put around the edges (that does not work in order for the sealant to work it must be between the surfaces being sealed. Putting extra goo around the edges does nothing because once the rig flexes a little it peels back and the water runs right under it).

Replacing the old crappy vent with this new one has brought a feeling of new life to my RV's kitchen.

The old (stock) vent had a plastic crank handle. This one is metal. The crank action in the old vent caught and bounced when I closed it. The action in this one is smooth. It's not grade A materials, being made in China and being inexpensive but it is a good value. If I have to replace it again 10 years from now, I will still consider it money well spent.

As I said, I bought it at a local RV shop but I liked it enough that I am buying two more of them to replace the other two vents in my RV roof, which are NOT currently leaking. It made that much of an improvement to my rig. It's significantly cheaper here. Thanks, Amazon.

Minus one star because the sharp edge of the sealing flange sliced my finger open during installation. I'll be more careful with the other two.

Unit is built well, but you must order the install kit and sealing putty that is recommended with item. All thats included is just the vent. Directions were easy to follow and includes a template of how large of a hole to cut in the roof. I would buy again if I needed another one.

Honest reviews on Camco 40480 RV Roof Vent Kit

this roof vent was a perfect fit for the opening that the old broken one came out of. the only problem I have is the crank to raise and lower vent was too long, so I just took the crank off so camper can fold down. now I just use crank when I need it, and put it in drawer when not in use.

This was a good replacement for my craced vent. Even though I bought the same brand, the holes did not line up, so I had to be sure to seal the old holes and drill new ones. Be aware that no mounting kit or hardware comes with it.

Battery came in a timely manner and did not work properly. THEY CONTACTED ME TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OK!!!!!!!!!!!! That is not a misprint, they sent me an email asking if the product was working satifactory. I sent them back a one line email stating the battery did not work but I wanted to keep the charger and just replace the battery. I promptly received a new email (with their apologies) stating that they are sending out a new battery immediately. I received it the next day ALONG with a postage paid return receipt. Not only did they send me a new battery without any hassles whatsoever, but they paid to ship it back! Who knew customer service still existed on the net. BTW, the new battery works great. I would HIGHLY recommend this company!

I have only been using my new battery for about a week but I am so happy I bought this. I used my phone for the fist 4 days and still had 2 bars left for the battery. Before I was getting only 1-2 day use on the battery. The car charger works great as well!!! Super price, great product, so thankful I purchased this!!!

Hard to complain about getting an OEM battery AND a car charger for less than half of what they would have charged at the Sprint store for the battery alone--assuming they had it in stock, which they didn't. Shipping was prompt and the items worked as expected. Unlike an earlier reviewer, I saw no evidence to suggest that the battery which was shipped to me was anything other than brand new.
