(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)The Wagan Twin USB/DC Cup Holder Adapter is a very good value. Considering that I paid the same price for a single USB car lighter adapter, this is a great value. It's conveniently shaped like a cup-holder, with the added benefits of 2 included DC adapters and 2 USB adapters. So far all 4 adapters work perfectly.

This adapter definitely sits lower in my cupholder than what I was expecting. It looks taller in the product picture, but expect it to be just above flush with your cup-holder. If your car has two different sized cupholders, one larger than the other, this unit is designed to fit in the smaller standard size. For me that is the cupholder further from the control panel and closer to my center arm-rest.

The unit has four LED indicator lights so you can judge how many devices can be charged with it. This "Battery Level Indicator" feature is a nice extra, with "HIGH," "MID," "12V" and "LOW" indicators.

The product package indicates this unit works with standard 12V and 24VDC accessories. Apparently there's a fuse inside the unit in the event you over-use it, though I haven't yet had the fuze go on me.

CONSIDERATIONS

There are a few shortcomings to the product, all of which I would consider minor. First of all, the lighter cable is relatively short. That's ok if you are plugging it into the DC outlet on your control panel. Many newer cars also have DC outlets within the arm-rest console storage area. I found that the cord was just barely long enough to reach down into my car's storage compartment and be plugged in. That means for some vehicles, like larger cars and SUVs, it might be too short. The deeper the storage compartment, the more likely you are to have trouble using that DC outlet to power this adapter.

The two DC adapters are very deep within the unit, almost too deep. For many DC powered car accessories with shorter plugs, it seems like it might be possible to push them in too far and lose electrical contact.

The other minor negative was that the USB adapters are not perfectly parallel. They are separated by metal but the USB pins are embedded in tabs made of some kind of composite material. You have to carefully insert USB cables because if you don't you risk damaging your connector or the adapter.

CONCLUSION

This is a good unit even if it isn't perfect. Considering the price and the fact that the product performs as advertised, I still recommend this over most others I have tried. It's worth it to have a few extra adapter plugs available to charge your accessories and electronics in your car.

Enjoy.

I really like this device. I have Sirius and a GPS so it gives me 2 sockets. The USB power sockets are good for powering or charging my cell phone.

Easy to use stays where you put it in a cupholder highly recommended.

Our new Subaru Tribeca amazingly had no DC outlets anywhere on the dashboard, instead hiding them in the console. We needed access to the jacks for the handsfree cellphone speaker and occasionally the GPS. This device fits in one of the cupholders next to the console and the power wire with the plug slips inside the console. We've been using it every day for 3 months now with no problems.

Honest reviews on Wagan EL2537-5 Twin USB and 12-Volt DC Cup Holder Power Adapter

This item would be great if it worked, but my USB circuit blew out within a few days of plugging it in, before I even had a chance to use the USB sockets. I smelled burning insulation but didn't associate it with the converter.

I think many (all?) of the folks who are complaining about the LEDs being nonfunctional don't realize that they are reading the charge state of the CAR battery, not the items that are plugged in. If you look at the small instruction sheet included, it says that it's showing the functioning of the car's charge system when the car is running, and the charge on the battery 10 minutes after the car is shut off (but with the starter switch in the 'accessory' position. Quite useful for finding out what kind of shape your battery is in before the cold weather hits, as even a mostly-dead battery will start a car OK in warmer weather. This little item saved me a tow.

At least the 12V sockets still work. I wish I had tried it out when I first got it rather than wait a couple of months I wasn't able to return it for a refund.

2&1/2 inches diameter on the bottom, chamfered

3 inches diameter on the top, also chamfered

2&1/2 inches tall

Cord exits the back of the unit 2 inches from the bottom, no strain relief.

Cord length is 39 inches

Lighter plug is 3&3/4 inches long, including the stiff strain relief.

Nice surface for gripping the plug when pulling out the plug, but for me I wish the plug was smaller or right angle... I'm not going to be unplugging it. Due to the short length of the cable, and the big plug, I directly wired a socket extension cable to my car's accessory wiring to avoid a big plug in my center console... which also frees up my car's socket.

Bright smooth nickel plated contacts all around. Fuse is a standard cylinder type marked 10A, accessed by unscrewing the nipple end of the plug. The + contacts for the round sockets is one solid piece of metal. One philips screw in the middle of the bottom appears to hold the case together, also one phillips holding together the plug.

Subtle blue glow from the base of the round sockets. Not obnoxious bright like the units I used to have.

This is a perfect solution for what I needed, and the unit works well. Like most adapters it takes two hands to remove the plug, however the design allows single handed plugging.

Great purchase, my only regret is padding my order for free shipping with other things. I should have gotten two of these instead :)

This unique, light-weight, easy to store charger is used to charge our computers, cell phones, ipods, etc., that can be plugged in the to solar panel charger via an adapter. We just drape it over the car, picnic table, or lay it on the ground with our electronics in the shade while it charges. However, one cannot use the computer and charge it at the same time. It is strong enough to charge a boat battery, its original purpose. I liked it so well, I purchased another one from Amazon at a definite savings. [Wish I had bought my first one here!]

I have bought two of these already and am in the process of ordering a third .i have used it only once in late day january sun on flat ground in northern california it worked great. i am building a portable power grid for laptops etc. it can also charge car batteries. these rolls are light weight and weather proof as opposed to weather resistant which the foldable powerfilm product line claims. not sure how big a difference there is but weather proof sounds better. be sure to get an "RA-6 Daisy Chain Accessory" by power film it turns two panels into one.

also this is a good charge controller "HQRP Solar Power Controller 10Amp 150W with Digital LED Display"

i got it here on amazon

and to top it off i got an:

PST-YD100W 100 Watts Adjustable Output DC/DC Converter from powerstream. ps, i had to upgrade the 16v capacitors to 35v and 50v because the 16 volt capacitors blew.

Input 9-15 VDC Also AC 110-240VAC for home or car 4 to 5.5 amps

output 12V, 15V, 16V, 18V, 19V, 20V, 22V, 24V single output, user adjustable Also 5V1A USB

this is a beauty it comes with ac and dc plugs numerous barrel adapters for laptops

Price $39.50

then i added this "Energizer XP18000 Universal AC Adapter with External Battery for Laptops, Netbooks, and More "

it must have 19v at 3.42 amps to charge so i am getting a third panel and a second daisy chain to make it work.

3 rollable 28 watt panels will put out 15.4 volts at 5.4 amps or 84 watts under best conditions

it boils down to a portable power grid a backpacker could take for around 8 lbs which i find acceptable if your laptop etc isnt too heavy.

ps the fact that many of these are sold on amazon with no negative reviews speaks strongly in favor of this product

This is a nifty little item, and we purchased one to use when we're out at the sports field with my kids.

One of these unrolled on the top of a collapsable shade canopy (oriented southward), and it gives us the ability to power 2-3 small 12V fans. It keeps the air moving, and everybody cooled/shaded/happy. You can even charge up your cell phone (the larger panel puts out almost 2A of current at 15VDC.

Roll it up after the game, and put it back in the box for the next weekend.

Honest reviews on PowerFilm R-28 28w Rollable Solar Panel Charger

I had a good impression about PowerFilm Co , I was looking for a high quality portable solar panel to charge my battery bank and as an emergency charger for my car . I got PowerFilm R-28 28w Rollable Solar Panel Charger and i was very impressed . I hang it on a ladder and connect it to my ( Mediabridge High Output Dual USB Car Charger ) and connected my battery bank ( Anker Astro E4 13000mAh ) which has about 60 %, i was fully charged in 3 hours in a sunny day , you may check my first video .

Pros:

1very light

2a lot of juice comparing to the weight.

3easy to use

Cons :

too long ( 2 M ) sometimes very hard to mount on windy day.

I would definitely recommend it.

I'm planning to find a way to mount multiple powerfilm rollable panels on my car roof rack which will be used to charge my secondary battery later.

I will update you with more videos.

I bought the rollable for a recent Alaska trip to power a GoalZero Yeti 150 and it worked wonderfully. (utilizing a custom cable) We were tenting it in the Riley camp grounds near Denali and every time I turned around people were stopping by to look at it and ask about it. The Yeti was powered solely by the 28w PowerFilm Rollable the entire two week trip and it we were charging four iPhones, two iPads and camera batteries off of it the entire trip. I am now planning on picking up a 60w when I have a chance for leaving in my FJ and powering slightly larger items etc.

Some time ago i felt the urgent need to own one of these foldable solar panels. This panel was meant to be one of my "zombie apocalypse is coming 2012"-gadgets for my "BOB" or "Get Home"-Bag. Better be prepared! To be honest: Neither am i a serious backpacker, nor a real survivalist, but i do collect knives and survival gear to just own it in case of an emergency, "catastrophes" or "terrorist attacks". Funny, huh?

For the review part: For whatever i want to purchase i do A LOT of investigation in advance (Youtube videos, (amazon) reviews, forums, blogs) and always want to spend my money on the ONE best option available. This only works in theory (at least for me...), in practice i nearly always end up in ordering two or more items, because i simply can't decide between them.

The solar panel was supposed to power a Galaxy Tab 7 (battery = 3,7v * 4000mah= 14,8wh), a HTC Desire HD (3,7v * 1230mah = 4,5wh), some portable USB Speakers ( unfolded!

I took my two panels, my USB stuff and a multimeter outside on a semicloudy day (which is pretty much "standard weather" where i live).

Both panels were lying flat on the ground, with no shadows and partly cloudy sky. Both panels delivered about 18V (sunlinq 17 and goal zero higher with 18-19V) with no load. When switching the multimeter to Amp measurement was when my jaw dropped. GZ: 0.04A and Sunlinq: 0,5A (* 12V). Tilting the GZ panel towards the (non visible) sun though increased output to 0,138A. Tilting the sunlinq towards the sun is tough, because its similar to truck canvas and folds together too easy. Did not improve output by much anyhow...

To make it short: Both panels fell short in delivering the necessary power for my needs and my weather conditions. The Sunlinq did perform better on this partly cloudy day, but still i needed the whole day to charge the Anker2! It might work for me, but most likely i will upgrade to a 20+ watt panel with CIGS cells.

What i liked about the nomad:

The formfactor when unfolded (folded it's quite a brick)

The looks (designed in the US)

Quality seemed alright (made in China)

What i disliked:

too bulky when folded (in comparison to the sunload panel)

danger of breaking (Manual says NOT to bend and NOT to walk on the panel because of the non flexible solarcells The sunlinq feels softer, more like a tarpaulin). That's propably why they throw in an empty pack in the commercial video.

I do not want to carry a multimeter all day, only to find the correct angle for this panel to perfom. That might be the reason why mono cells are installed on roofs with special calculated angles. This is where they perform best.

weight in comparison to the sunlinq / in relation to it's performance

4.7mm special connector (SAE on the Sunlinq is motorcycle standard)

Output of the USB out not clearly declared (GZ-Website says 5V and 0,5A, printing on panel says 5Watt bad transformation? or bad translation?). Did not even get the 0,5 out though, when it was cloudy.

The Sunlinq panel is technically identical to the Brunton, Motomaster, Me2 and Sunload panels , as there is only one company which builds/"prints" these CIGS cells ("global solar" in Tucson and Berlin). Differences are only connectorwise.

In a perfect world Goal Zero would use CIGS cells for their future products

Hope this helps (pretty time consuming as i am native german and have to think twice before i write sth. in english, but i benefit a lot from american reviews and thought i'd share a "kind of" objective review).

Update 6/16/12: Got myself 2 higher rated panels for comparison: The P3 with 30wp and the sunlinq 25wp ("sunlinq 5").

First impression:

The P3 is about 2-3 times thicker than the other sunlinqs (12wp and 25wp). Apart from that, there is no big difference (in performance) at all. The only difference technically is a much higher open circuit voltage for the p3 (28V!!!), which does require a (MPPT?) charge controller as an extra investment. So all in all it depends on whether you are willing to pay nearly double the price for a ridiculous amount of extra performance, a 2yr warranty and a military tag, or not.

If you are wondering whether or not to get this, go ahead and try it. This solar panel is one tough little cookie. I have this solar panel as part of the Goal Zero Sherpa 50 adventure kit. The panel folds up nicely and is easy to carry. I took it to Afghanistan with me this year, and it still works good. Sure, it has a few scratches on the panels here and there, but it hasn't affected its performance to date. This panel has fallen over due to wind onto my concrete porch floor and did not break. It even fell from my truck (4 feet) onto the driveway and survived!!

I can charge my Sherpa 50 watt battery in about 1 and 1/2 days with it.

GO ahead and buy it!!

Best Deals for Goal Zero 12401 Nomad 13.5M Solar Panel

I purchased this solar panel because of the size and power output. I was happy when I received it and then upset when it didn't have all the outputs listed. NO SOLAR OUTPUT 6.5

Product was listed as having this output (compatible with goal zero guide 10 plus battery chargers I also purchased) The product technical specs listed are for the Nomad 13, not the Nomad 13.5 (an older model). I contacted Goal Zero (who sells this) and Amazon (who lists this incorrect information) and informed them of the mistake. I had to send mine back and order the Nomad 13. Still waiting on a refund for the Nomad 13.5 I thought they would change the listing for this after I informed them of the mistake, but I see they haven't. Be aware at the time of this review the technical specs are still listed incorrectly. The only outputs on this is 12v and USB .5amp.

The Nomad 13 has:

USB 1 AMP

SOLAR OUTPUT

CHAIN CABLE

12V

The Nomad 13.5 has:

USB .5 AMP

CHAIN CABLE/12V

CHAIN INPUT

When I say chain I mean a cable to connect more than 1 panel together for shared power.

A final thought, I wish the 13.5 had worked, the 13 is only 2 panels and a little larger, the 13.5 is smaller.

Honest reviews on Goal Zero 12401 Nomad 13.5M Solar Panel

This is my third Goal Zero purchase and I was pleased and surprised to find that the output measure 20.1 watts when measured (without load) in direct September sunlight in southwest Missouri. I purchased this unit as a more powerful addition to the Nomad 7 which I use when backpacking to charge my cell phone and GPS. This unit has twice the panels of the Nomad 7, is still light weight and folds compactly for storage in my backpack. Like the Nomad 7, the Nomad 13.5M has grommets to attach it to the backpack to allow charging while on the move.

I did not see the connection to directly attach the Guide 10 or Guide 10 Plus battery packs that are the mainstay of the Nomad 7; but in addition to the standard USB port for general electronic device charging it does come with the plug to directly charge the Escape 150, a standard 12 V. auto plug connector, and a connection to chain connect other Goal Zero panels. I plan to contact Goal Zero to see what options are available to connect the Guide 10 battery packs to the Nomad 13.5M or to see if I've simply overlooked the obvious connection.

I haven't taken this panel into the woods yet but I have placed it on the dash and used it to charge my android via the USB and the 12 V car charger connection as I drive home from work. Everything I've looked at so far on this unit suggest that it charges at least twice as fast as the Nomad 7 which was my first Goal Zero purchase. I'm very pleased with all the Goal Zero products I've purchased to date.

I also have to say a good word about the customer support I received when my Escape 150 didn't perform to expectations after the first couple weeks of use. I sent an email to the support line and received a prompt response with some special instructions to reset the battery. The instructions worked great for the next charge but the problem came back a week later. A second email to the company letting them know that the problem had returned was all it took and they sent a replacement battery. No hassle, no arguments, and no waiting for the bad battery to be returned or shipping charges. Even though I was initially uneasy and concerned that I experienced a problem with the Escape 150 immediately after purchase the excellent customer support convinced me that this was a company that stands behind their products and that I could trust. As a result of this customer service I now own the Nomad 13.5 and the Goal Zero Boulder 15 solar panel in addition to my previous purchases.

I bought two of these panels as part of a backpacking / camping solar setup to charge my phone, iPod, GPS, laptop, etc. I also integrated these into an emergency power kit to charge a 12v Deep Cycle Marine battery to power my HAM radio.

So far, the panels have performed flawlessly; providing all the power I need to keep my mobile electronics and radio running completely free of the grid.

The panels are very compact and fold up neatly. They can be chained together and Goal-Zero makes a ton of different connectors and adaptors to ensure that you can recharge or power nearly anything you need.

I got this for my RAZR 2 (v9m) which uses the micro USB. My wife has the original RAZR which uses the slightly larger mini USB. Why on earth they can't make a dual-ended one of these is beyond me so I end up with 2 different chargers in both cars. Obviously you can use an adapter, but it's still easy to lose or try to hook up while you are driving.

It's a charger, it seems to be built well. The rounded end is both blessing and curse as it's large and easy to handle, but can get in the way unnecessarily. The bright blue LED light circular M logo is nice. I always hated when an older charger had a red or amber light that was almost invisible in the daytime so you never knew if it was plugged all the way in or not.

I can't really knock it for not having both connectors, can I? I'm knocking off a star for being a bit on the bulky side compared to other chargers I've had. But the price is pretty reasonable. I'd give it 5 stars if it had a dual end I guess I'm going to find some adapters and zip tie them to the cable so they don't get lost under the seat carrying around all that unwieldy cable in the car gets to be a pain.

I purchased the chargers so I could have my phone readily available. I seen these and thought wow for this price I cant go wrong.

I was way way wrong! Not only did both chargers flake out after less than 2 weeks of use, but the car charger almost caused a fire in my car! I dont know if the random weirdness my phone now has about it was cause from the charger shorting out, but I can tell you that these products are dangerous and should be avoided!

The charger got so hot that it was almost to hot to pull out of the outlet, and caused my truck to smell of burnt plastic and electronics for nearly a week!

It was on the brink of catching on fire!

Please stay away and spend a little extra money on a name brand. I did after this happened and have not had an issue since. So to me that ruled out my vehicle outlet as the culprit.

And please please dont buy this for your teenagers cause Lord only knows what would have happened if this had happened to them.

This is a great charger that is quite versitle in terms of devices that can plug into it. First I should warn you that you should check your device and make sure it is rated for the appropriate output voltage and amperage. However, after doing so I found that in addition to my Archos 5 internet tablet, I could also charge my Garmin 720 NUVI, 2 different cell phones, and 2 different bluetooth headsets with the appropriate USB cable (USB micro or mini).

This car charger works really well. It's perfect when the cell phone is close to needing recharging and you have to travel. Just plug the phone into the charger and plug the charger into the car cigarette lighter outlet and you're good to go.

Discount Optima Batteries 8027-127-FFP D27M BlueTop Group 27 Marine Battery

Battery arrived very quickly. Used it to power the trolling motor for my 5-person Intex inflatable. Took it out on the bay just this one and only time, and the power ran out, leaving me anchored in the middle of the bay. Friends came out in a speed boat to rescue me.

Tried to recharge this battery, but the charger I bought from Amazon with the battery began to overheat. The next day I brought it in to the local Optima dealer. They put the battery on the charger/diagnostic machine for 69 minutes, after which it failed the test. Zero cranking amps and a recommendation to REPLACE. The Optima dealer is unable to order a replacement as this battery is no longer available from their supplier.

Amazon will not accept returns for this battery. Amazon says to return it to the dealer, but the dealer can't do anything about it. I spoke with Optima on the telephone, and they are sorry I am going through this, but since Amazon is not an authorized seller, Optima cannot help me either.

So, Amazon has my $175, and there is no customer service to reason with. I had to spend another $90 at a local warehouse store for a real, working battery with a real working warranty. I wish you all a better experience than I had. After years and years buying from Amazon, I will not be back.

My research makes me wonder where Amazon is getting these batteries. Below is the email I got from Optima customer service when I inquired about their warranty. Thought other buyers would find the information helpful. Amazon has a better price but you are taking a chance that nothing goes wrong with the battery. Good luck.

Hello Ted

Below is a link to this battery on Optima Batteries Direct.Before purchasing from any other online resource, please ensure the dealer is in compliance with our recommended customer service requirements.

Unfortunately Amazon is not an authorized dealer. Warranties are typically handled by the original retailer however Amazon does not handle warranties after 30 days. You can't just take the battery to any Optima retailer for warranty service because they have their own internal corporate policies that will not allow them to warranty a battery they didn't sell. In cases like this we have to go through a distributor for testing and charging and in some case charging fees apply. This could require some travel on your part. They do require that you leave the battery at least overnight for testing and charging. If they are unable to replace the battery we would have to make arrangements to have one shipped to you.

OPTIMA-authorized online retailer requirements:

§

§ Ship Optima products in approved shipment packaging

§ Answer a toll free service phone number during business hours

§ Adhere to and honor the Optima factory warranty policy [pdf]

§ Provide an in-house warranty program

If

If you are considering an Amazon as your online dealer, they have not agreed to our consumer service requirements.

For same-day purchases and service we recommend visiting your nearest OPTIMA retailer, as online purchases can take multiple days to arrive. Likewise, in the event that product support service is needed, online purchases must be shipped back to the original seller and can take several days to be processed and returned.

Thank you,

I purchased two of these 11 months ago. One has failed and surprise, no local dealers will honor the warranty. I am contacting Optima, but am not optomistic given what I've read online about this situation.

Honest reviews on Optima Batteries 8027-127-FFP D27M BlueTop Group 27 Marine Battery

These batteries are the best on the market. I like that they are maintenance free, especially the ones that are not easily accessible on my boat. I love Amazon because one battery was delivered dropped by the shipper, box broke. Amazon quickly sent me out another one. I just replaced the two batteries I ordered this past weekend. All worked just fine and easily cranked over my twin Honda 4 Stroke 130s. The sea trial will begin in a few weeks and if all looks good electronically, I will be confident to venture out 25 miles into the Gulf and not worry if my batteries will live or die out there. These batteries replaced my old West Marine Dual Purpose 12 volt batteries. The strength of these are twice as much as my old batteries. This gives me twice as much power and time when out there running stereo FF and GPS etc.

I would highly recommend ordering these Optima Batteries especially for rough outdoor use.

This Product is excellent. It came quick well packaged and worked right out of the box. Works as described and is quick charging looks good and the pull out cord clicks as it is pulled and is long enough and suffcient for any auto and locks in when extended so no acciedental retractable whipping cord to stress your charging connector on your phone. I would recommend this Product because it is not overpriced and does exactly what it is suppose to do.

It works, looks good, retracts maybe too fast, dirt cheap and the blue light adds some cool to your interior. Now it just has to last!

This is the first time I purchased an accessory for my cell phone that wasn't being sold by the manufacturer or service provider. I am a little concerned that it heats up when I use it. Way more than the "official" one I use to have and lost.

But, it does the job and I do hope it doesn't do damage to the phone as all manufacturers threaten will happen if we don't buy their accessories.

Doesn't seem to work very well. Gets very hot in the car. Charges, but doesn't charge very fast at all.

I love the retractable cord. My phone has issues with its charging port so it doesn't always work for me but works every time for my fiances phone and he loves it.

Best Deals for Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Vibrant

This is the 2nd one of these I've purchased. The first one has been going strong for several months now w/o issue. Got this one for my wife. I have a smart phone, and the Android OS really appears to drain the battery when you are using a lot of apps. I am also frequently on the phone for conference calls that can last more than an hour, so it is very handy to have my phone charging during travel. (Yes, I am hands-free when in the car!) This charger seems to work well with any mini-USB plug device, esp. different phones but check the voltage, polarity, and compatibility first to be safe. The retraction mechanism is excellent. It keeps a pile of power cord from squirming around the car, getting in the way, or getting caught between the seats. The cord isn't long enough to reach the back seat, but it does stop at any length so you can have just enough cord to stash your phone someplace stable and out of the way in the console, cupholder, or dash. If you need to have your phone charged and ready after the commute or on a road trip, I would recommend this. It is cheap and it works well.
