The Slime COMP 07 Rechargable Tire Inflator is also marketed as:

Kwik Goal Portable Inflator

Campbell-Hausfeld Model CC2300

Unfortunately, the unit is sold with a cheap 12 Volt, 7.0 Amp-Hour internal battery that cannot hold up under the rigors and demands put on it by the general consumer. Anyway, the battery in any of these types of portable devices doesn't last forever and will eventually have to be replaced. Think of is as normal maintenance, to be done every two to five years, even with the best of batteries.

But a simple change to a 12 Volt, 8.5 Amp-Hour, high-rate replacement battery will greatly enhance its performance. Without going into a stuffy brain-dump: A simple 21% increase in Amp-Hour capacity (to 8.5 Amp-Hours) will double the amount of work the fully charged battery can do, under load, such as the internal 12 Volt compressor motor. The "high-rate" designation is also a type of battery that is designed to take heavy loads without damage -or shortened battery lifespan.

But don't make the mistake that many 12 Volt power pack owners sometimes do: Attempting to jump-start their car from this tiny device. Doing so will instantly destroy the unit's internal 12 Volt battery and literally melt the compressor case down. Also, never plug a 12VDC appliance into the "Output DC 12V" jack that exceeds about 0.5 Amps (6 watts). For example, plugging in a small 12VDC coffee cup warmer will draw 8-10 Amps and burn out the internal 12 Volt lead acid battery in a couple of minutes. You'll know when a sealed lead acid battery is burned out when the tremendous amount of heat from the dying battery melts and distorts the outside plastic case of the compressor and a sick vinegar smell emits from the now-dead internal battery.

That said, replace with: Power-Sonic PSH-1280 FR Battery, 12 Volt, 8.5 Amp-Hour, High-Rate Series. I ordered mine from BatteryPlexDotCom. Really, to install a lower capacity battery in a portable field device is just false economy. And note: The different brand names of this tire inflator seems to have battery terminals in one of two widths: "F1" designation is for the 3/16" / .187" wide metal terminal tabs on the battery, and the "F2" designation is for the 1/4" / .25" wide metal terminal tabs on the battery. So be sure to specify this, for a quick and speedy battery change with the internal wiring push-clips. To get to the internal battery, just lay the portable compressor on its side and unscrew the seven phillips-head screws that hold the halves of the outside plastic case together.

Now the portable compressor unit pumps up my 100psi bicycle tires -and 34psi minivan tires, with ease. The built-in pressure guage, in my unit, reads 5psi higher than actual, but that's easy to compensate for.

And the unit also now serves as a reliable 12 Volt portable power pack, a real workhorse, that is quickly recharged in the field with my portable 12 Volt wind generator, or my portable 12 Volt sun tracking solar panel.

I have also been pleasantly surprised with the unusually well-designed quick connect valve that seats perfectly on the valve stem, and releases without loss of tire pressure. Really, this has been a major headache with all my other air pumps, both manual and electric: When removing the quick connect valve from the tire stem, air always rushes out, and several more attempts have to be done before the tire is finally properly inflated, a real pain. But, to expedite things, and just to be sure, I usually disconnect the Slime COMP 07 quick connect valve from the tire valve stem as soon as the proper pressure is reached, with the air compressor still running.

The battery for this device is a lead acid battery, that is sealed, so that the electrolyte will not leak out of the battery. But, being a lead acid battery, it can do only half as much work, at 30 degrees Fahrenheit, as it will do at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. So either store the portable compressor in a reasonably warm environment until you need it, or accept its inherent shortcomings in a cold environment.

Also, never run the portable compressor down until it runs slowly, or ceases to run. This is commonly known as "batterycide." Doing so, even if promptly recharged, will greatly reduce the service lifespan, or even destroy, any good lead acid battery. Keep the portable compressor charged and ready at all times and you'll have no trouble. The LED Battery Check indicator is activated by turning on the Power switch (with the Compressor switch off). The unit is okay to run as long as the LED indicator is green "HI". The portable compressor should be recharged when the LED indicator is yellow "LOW". If at all possible, do not discharge the battery below 12.25 Volts. Always immediately recharge the battery after moderate-to-heavy use. You'll soon learn what this useful little compressor can handle -and can't handle.

And, being a lead acid battery, it will hold its charge for months and months, with very low self-discharge. Yet another advantage of lead acid batteries is that they are routinely recycled. In fact, a brand new lead acid battery, off-the-shelf, is manufactured from recycled lead.

One major, and justified, gripe many owners have with the unit is the ridiculous claim in the instruction manual that the device can be used to inflate air mattresses, rafts, etc.. Well, that's simply not true. The compressor is for pneumatic tires and soccer balls and footballs, etc. only (and maybe to run an airbrush). The hard-working piston in the compressor is only the size of your little fingertip, so it would take all day to fill up an air mattress, and keep filling it until the mattress bursts (if unattended). And the battery is not large enough to run the compressor that long anyway. For air mattresses and rafts, just buy a specialized high-volume, low pressure, 12 Volt air pump, and plug it into 12 Volt jack on your trusty Campbell-Hausfeld Cordlesss Air Inflator / 12-Volt Power Pack, and you're good to go.

A compact rechargeable inflator that uses a lead-acid battery. Noisy but powerful, it has handy storage for its components, but a useless pressure gauge.

After my last 12V-DC inflator blew the fuses on my Civic, I decided it was time for a tire pump that didn't depend on the car for power. This unit inflates my Civic tires about 2-3 times as fast as the old 12V.

It's not as loud as the car engine and the old pump were (running at the same time), but all the noise is from one point, so it seems louder to my ears. It vibrates enough to "walk" a little while running on the concrete floor.

The unit has storage panels front and back that store all of the cables/accessories that come with it, and a short instruction leaflet. The in-built gauge is useless. It approximates the correct pressure with the unit off (but not clearly enough to read a specific number). But turn the unit on, and the indicated PSI instantly jumps to 40psi and stays there.

I have to check the pressure before and after with my Accutire Digital Tire Gauge. An accurate built-in digital pressure readout would have been outstanding. The flip-tab on the hose is kind of stiff for the first few uses, I ended up letting a bunch of air out of my tires in the process of getting it locked into place.

The product's lead-acid battery has the advantage of no "memory effect", meaning charging the battery w/o discharging it fully doesn't shorten its life (like a Ni-Cad), but the drawback is that much like your car battery, a lead-acid must be kept topped off, and if you allow a lead-acid to drain completely, it fails and is no longer chargable. A Lithium-Ion would have been nice instead, since they are non-toxic (no special disposal needed) and are not harmed by being fully discharged.

I'm unclear on the choice of "Slime" as a brand-name, but it IS memorable, and the product is good. And it sure beats using a filthy public air pump at a gas station (and it's always freezing, searing hot, or raining when you need to do this), if you can even find one that's functioning.

This inflator could be quieter, use a Li-ion battery, and have a usable pressure gauge, but it gets the job done in a compact no-fuss package. Recommended.

Best Deals for Slime COMP 07 Rechargeable 12-Volt Tire Inflator

This seems like a very solid unit, but upon careful reading of the user guide I found that it should not be used to inflate while plugged in to the AC/DC power supply. The wording also implied that the unit should only be used to inflate while operating under its internal battery power, and that the 12v cigarette lighter adapter and Ac/Dc adaptor are for charging the battery only. The battery should also be routinely charged (5-9 hours) to prevent draining. I've written to Slime twice for clarification on the "don't inflate with the chargers" to see what the consequences might be if one did, but they have not responded. So if you don't remember to take it out of your trunk and recharge it periodically, it may be useless that one time you need it to do an emergency roadside tire inflation... Unless you have 5-9 hours to spare to charge it up first. Seems like a chance I wouldn't want to take. I returned it.

Honest reviews on Slime COMP 07 Rechargeable 12-Volt Tire Inflator

This is essentially the same unit as a Campbell Hausfeld pump I had a few years ago. The only problem I have with that one I lost it. I honestly do not know what happened to it. Anyhow, this one looks, smells, sounds, and operates the same as the Campbell Hausfeld I had.

I followed the instructions to the letter charged it at room temperature for 18 hours right out of the box.

The test:

Two cars and one ¾ -ton truck, each with four tires that needed some (a few needed quite a bit of) air.

Two motorcycles, each with two tires about ten pounds low.

One riding mower, four tires that were in serious need of air.

All in all, twenty tires of various sizes. The unit filled all tires on one charge, and the yellow light was just starting to come on with three tires remaining. The truck tires are size LT275/65R20 (quite large); each were filled from ~60 PSI to 65 PSI, so I believe this was a pretty intense test for this unit.

The total run time to fill up all tires I estimate was about 70 minutes. The only rest time it got was moving from tire to tire.

Noise completely acceptable. Not as loud as some portable units I've heard. Quiet? No, but it is not what I would call loud. I would say "noticeable".

Valve on and off definitely tight, a little difficult in some situations. I recommend putting a little bit of oil on one valve stem. That will make it go on and off more easily on the rest of the tires.

Charging light stays on when plugged in, does not turn off when done. The manual recommends leaving it plugged in whenever it's not in use. I don't plan to do that. Instead I will charge it periodically.

I think this is a great unit, and it does what I bought it for keep me from having to drag out the extension cord when I need to check and fill tires. Is it the only pump I will ever need for all occasions? No. Is it the emergency pump I will travel with? No. Is it the pump I plan to use almost all of the time for filling tires? Absolutely. I am a creature of convenience :-).

I will update this review if anything out of the ordinary happens, but for now thumbs up!

I hope this helps thanks to everyone else for their reviews!

I was hesitant to buy a product with "Slime" as the brand name. Nevertheless, it was on sale and I decided to risk it. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! It was cheaper than my previous tire inflator from Sears( I called the red hot mama!) and was much better. It was easy to use and was powerful enough to inflate the tires on two vehicles quickly without getting hot. I would recommend it to anyone and plan to seek out the "Slime" brand next time.

Item works as advertised, but two things I noticed:

1-plastic housing that goes in cigarette lighter is somewhat flimsy and has already starting cracking on my unit. Don't rough house with this charger, treat it gently.

2-charging cuts on & off when USB connector is jostled forcefully. Not a big headache if you play nice but I thought you should know.

For the low price of the item you can/should overlook these two observations.

The charger stays put in cigarette lighter and on the phone USB connector. The coiled cord is flexible enough that you can handle the phone without either end pulling out of its intended location.

On my second Samsung phone, that after using NON-Samsung brand chargers, I started having trouble with the connection with the phone to charge the battery in the phone. Not sure if it is an issue with my phones, or if it is the 'knock off' cheap chargers that are messing them up. Not sure I will get another Samsung phone, and if I do, I will only use Samsung chargers. Other than that, it was all it said it was, and I liked that it had a light to let you know it was working.

Cheap Renogy 40 Amp MPPT Charge Controller

List Price: $233.99
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: 10% Off

First things first, the picture show the Tracer Charge Controller, yet the title said "Renogy 40 Amp MPPT Charge Controller." Well, I needed a 40 Amp Charge Controller and I want the Tracer charge controller, so I bought this to see if this is really a Tracer 40 Amp Charge Controller even though it said "Renogy" and it is in fact sold by "Renogy." When the package arrived, I was so happy. This product is, in fact a Tracer 40 Amp Charge Controller, the same type as this

SainSonic MPPT TRACER 3215RN Solar Charge Controller 30A 12V 24V EP

The only difference between that charge controller and this charge controller is that this is a 40 Amp charge controller (can hold up to 500W of PV for 12V or 1000W for 24V).

The price is just right. The 30 Amp charge controller is around $180-$190 and this 40 Amp is $210. I plug in the PV and battery cables and everything works great. The only thing I haven't checked is the lamp DC output. There are different work modes for the lamp DC output but I don't really use it. I basically bought this charge controller because it's 40 Amp (I can expand on it), it's MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and the price is right. Here is the summary...

Pro:

Fair price

MPPT technology

Con:

Poor manual

Too large (the dimension is pretty large and it's at about 2 pounds)

Sometimes the charge controller thinks batter is full because of high voltage

This is a decieving radio. You need a business FCC license for it so you must apply for it and state your business need for these radio's. Its better to stick with GMRS or FRS unless you want to violate FCC R&R and use them for non-business use. There are FCC listeners everywhere that monitor the use of these frequencies and I have returned these radios and switched to GMRS. The claim that you have a 4 to 5 mile range is in perfect conditions, using these radios for the short time I had them gave me only minimal range increase from my FRS radios I've previously used. Range is dependent on the antennae and battery strength.

Thank you Amazon (can't imagine modern life without you), Portable Power Systems (who quickly fulfilled this order) and FedEx (who delivered this "standard shipping" item in a very timely manner) for enabling my son's High School Band to use their Lectrosonics Long Ranger 4 ("LR4") portable Public Address unit ahead of a big marching band competition today! The Panasonic LC-R127R2P valve-regulated battery is the only one that works reliably with with the fast charge circuitry of the LR4 unit. The Lectrosonics factory part number for this specific battery is "LRIIIBATT", but even mighty Google can find few traces of that identifier! Websites specializing in marching bands, auctioneers, etc., stock the LR4 and its official replacement battery, but, typically, at double the price (not too friendly for cash strapped High School Bands) of this battery on Amazon. So, if you wish to replace the "LRIIIBATT" in your LR4, un-solder the brass terminal extenders from the old "LRIIIBATT" battery and solder them onto the terminals of a new LC-R127R2P battery -see picture in amazon's shared images folder for this item. Your LR4 will then be good-to-go and you will have saved your school band $30+ dollars for just 10 minutes of effort with a (50 to 100 watt) soldering iron.

So far so good. I am using a Sure Fire E2D LED DEFENDER and an M4 Scirrako Extreme Beam tactical light and this charger and battery say they are the best choice I could have made for a charger plus batteries. These are serving us well.

The CR123As are 3.7v and do not seem to present a problem with either tac light at this point. The larger batteries have a bigger diameter and do not fit in my Sure Fire, unfortunately. However, the larger batteries DO fit my Extreme Beam Scirrako quite comfortably and give well over 3 hours continuous run time. The CR123As fit mu Sure Fire nicely and function well enough with well over 2 hours of run time. These seem to work as well as the normal lithium batteries with no noticeable drawbacks which is unusual for rechargeables.

The other thing is the intelligent charger. It is not a 15 minute rapid charge so expect 3 hrs for a good deep charge. The fact that it is "smart" enough to determine the chemical makeup of the batteries and then choose the best charge "patterns" for optimal charging and longest battery life is a remarkable feature to say the least. It will also charge any AA or AAA batteries in any combination as the slots function independently of each other. I have owned many different hobby and utility chargers and battery types over the duration of many years and this is hands down by far the best charger I have ever owned and even the best price. I just wish we could charge C, D, 9v, etc.

Great quality buy and price!

Seems to work as advertised. I have used it on many brands of rechargeable batteries with no issues. I am also pretty impressed with the Nitecore batteries. They Do last a long time!

Purchased this along with the Nitecore MH 40 (nice light). Found the charger to be defective right out of the box. Worked on DC power but not when plugged into AC. Returning was easy and fast thru Amazon. Exchanging wasn't an option available, but am going to try purchasing another one since I can use the included batteries in other devices

AMAZON has done it again with putting a great Battery and Charger package choice out for the MT-26 Nitecore Flash lite I ordered. I choose this package because you get two choices of batteries the RCR123 and the 18650 High Output units. It came with a wall plug in and a car charger plug in and a cool little LED CLIP LITE FREE at no charge. You cant beat the prices at AMAZON I tried and could not do it so don't waste any time put your order in now and enjoy this great product by Nitecore Sysmax. Remember this is a High Output charger so don't put single AAA or AA Batteries in this unit always put more than one at a time in it to be charged and space them out unless using all 4 charging slots. Don't wait come and join the Amazon family of shoppers with the Nitecore Sysmax products and get your charge on. Thanks AMAZON ! Hunter :)

Admittedly I haven't had the charger or batteries very long, but I have used it with li-ion and NiMh batteries and it did all the ad said it would. Don't know if this will fly, but EdisonBright, the company I bought it from--through Amazon--delivers every bit as good as the charger. Maybe better. They go out of their way to ensure their customers are happy.

Cheap Go Power! GP-SW2000-12 2000-Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Go Power! GP-SW2000-12 2000-Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

I spent more time installing this in my motorhome than it lasted once it was installed.

I bought one of these in 2008, installed it in my motorhome and spent a few days camping in the Arizona desert. The following year we didn't go camping at all, so did not use the inverter. This fall, I was getting the motorhome set up for camping and I noticed the inverter was not working correctly. It runs for about a minute and then shuts off. This happens under heavy load or no load at all. After a few phone calls to Go Power, I learned that there are no user fixes, the inverter is shot, and they offered to sell me another at 1/2 price since mine was beyond the 2 year warranty.

I declined their offer, given that the first one only had about 10 hours of use on it, and there was no reason to think that another unit wouldn't do the same thing. I figure this one cost me about $75 per hour to operate, so even at half price, it isn't a deal.

I own this Go Power GP SW 2000 – 12 2000 W pure sine wave inverter, and first off let me say it is very solidly built. It's designed to have an assortment of accessories that are compatible with it and that suit the consumer market--at the same time it has the reliability and quality of an industrial power inverter.

While I chose to source my own cables and fuse, a product that has the entire line of the accessories with guides that allow you to size them is very valuable to people who are not necessarily electricians or electrical engineers but want the ability to generate their own power. It includes a port which is easily wired with 24 AWG cable that allows remote control of the unit with a standard wall switch, but there's also a company manufactured remote that shows additional information about the status of the inverter, so if you're a DIY'er you can set up your own remote switch for the inverter, or if you're just a consumer who wants a turnkey solution to remote operation you can buy theirs.

Whether it's from a back-up bank, a solar power system, or a wind power system, a quality power inverter with ample capacity is a must, in my experience, 12 V appliances are limited in performance and of lesser quality, there few cases, such as led lighting in a camper, where it's better to use the 12 V power directly. and pure sinewave inverters are the only ones that can produce power of the same quality as utility power. Modified sinewave inverters are simply not good for your electronics, the premium you pay for quality pure sine wave inverter is worth protecting your electronics, motors, compressors, all of which suffer with modified sinewave inverters. Since my campers 12 V I use the 12V version even though I don't use too many 12 V appliances directly off the battery. But for applications where no 12V appliances are necessary, I recommend the 24 V version. Building a high-capacity battery bank is easier at 24 V and it's also easier to charge. Also 24 V PWM charge controllers can be found cheap on Amazon. Most people however will find the 12 V version better if they have car chargers/accessories that they want to use.

That being said not all pure sinewave inverters are created equal, I've always thought if something is worth doing it's worth doing right. Choosing an inverter with a high enough capacity that produces a pure sine wave will keep your appliances running smooth, and give you independence from the power grid. These units are made by a company that stands behind its products and even produces products for cities and municipalities. I've contacted them for customer support and they are extremely professional and helpful.

I find that this pure sine wave inverter is extremely accurate: devices that have ac frequency based timers are seldom off by a significant amount. My window unit air-conditioner starts-up without so much as dimming the lights. The dual cooling fans keep it cool even under high loads. And the post terminals with plastic guards are very thick and heavy duty to allow efficient conduction of power. I recommend their cable kits, however any inverter cable kit with ring terminals and a high enough gauge for the wattage and length that you intend to use will work fine. A fuse is a must, and theirs are high-quality and designed to withstand start up current without blowing unnecessarily. Sourcing all of the components for an off-grid solar power or backup power system it can be difficult for a normal consumer, this inverter allows you the flexibility to provide your own accessories or to use the pre-fabricated accessories that are tailor-made to this inverter.

I've owned several types, capacities and brands of power inverters. I've assembled several solar power systems and advised others on how to build their own. I always recommend this power inverter line and/or the kit that includes this power inverter to anyone who wants a solar power system that can provide a comfortable off-grid lifestyle, be it in an emergency, on the road, or in a camper, for off grid you can't beat this inverter line.

As a note, I would advise anyone who chooses this inverter to have at least a 200 amp hour deep cycle battery, although 2 in parallel would be better. And a 200 amp slow burning fuse on the positive battery terminal.

This inverter was deliver on time and in good condition. I installed it in our fifth wheel trailer as a replacement for a modified sine wave unit. This inverter works great. Our microwave doesn't even know the difference between the line and the inverter. A great choice. C

I bought this USB charger 3 months ago to use with my iPod touch and it has worked flawlessly. The wall charger is very portable as the plug folds into the body of the charger. Both seem to charge the iPod equally well and I have not noticed the charging to be any different from connecting the iPod to the computer. One minor (if obvious) downside is that you need to bring the USB cable along in the car or to other locations where you will not connect to the computer.

I bought this item to avoid having to take so many different chargers with me when traveling. Seems to work well with any device that I have tried thus far (Garmin Forerunner, Blackberry, iPod Shuffle).

This is the second time I have been asked to review this transaction for some strange reason.

This vendor supposedly offered a "Scosche" brand set of USB chargers at a steeply discounted price. The chargers pictured in the offer clearly bore the Scosche brand name, and they used the Scosche "retail price" from which to show the steep markdown in price.

When I received these items there were in no kind of packaging -just loose inside of a jiffy bag mailer, so it was difficult to tell if they were even new. Though the items looked similar to the ones pictured in the offer, they were NOT Scosche brand products. They were instead some cheap, no-name, made in China, knockoff, of the type you'll find on Ebay selling for a buck apiece.

When I wrote back, the vendor admitted that the items were not Scosche but rather "OEM", but assured me they have sold "thousands without any problem". They further went on to "guarantee" that I would have "no problem" with the units. Their guarantee however, would be of little consequence should one of these cheap chargers fry my daughters expensive Ipod.

I decided to cut my losses as the whole transaction was just a few bucks. The vendor did refund my money, (I think), and the only reason I am responding to this request for a review again, is to warn other buyers.

Look, bottom line is: Amazon is a great resource that I have used in the past, and will surely use again. And this is the first time I have experienced any kind of problem purchasing through Amazon. But vendors who engage in classic "bait and switch" tactics are not worthy of being represented by Amazon.

Car charger works well and so does the home/travel charger. The pins fold back on the home/travel charger which makes it good to travel with. The cords do not come with these items.

I bought this for my wife's car, which I usually use on the weekends. She has an iPhone, I have a BlackBerry, so I wanted to minimize charger clutter in the car. While it works fine with her iPhone 3Gs, it does NOT work with my BlackBerry 9800. A message pops up on the BlackBerry saying that the connected charger is insufficient to power the device.

So much for the "universal" part, although I have long ago learned not to trust the title descriptions on Amazon.

Oddly enough, the AC outlet charger does work with my BB. But if you are buying this primarily for use in the car, be forewarned: the iPhone, yes; BlackBerry, no.
