I have a Samsung Epic 4G phone which charges over Micro USB. It has never had any problem with any USB power source, whether that be a computer, a hub, a Playstation 3 or several other wall adapters. For some reason when I plug it into this charger, it confuses the phone in such a way that the touchscreen doesn't work. Immediately after unplugging the phone it works again. I have no idea what this charger could be doing that it would cause it to do this.

It is not the fault of the phone, as every other charger works. I also tried another phone of the same model and got the exact same results.

Don't get this charger if you have a Samsung Epic, and be careful if you have any other smartphone.

Nice concept. But after a few months of using the device, the AC plug simply came off with the plug still in teh electrical outlet. With metal showing, I had to kill circuit breaker to take the broken plug off. Great idea, but poorly built and a safety hazard. I wouldn't recommend this.

I have bought a couple other products from this manufacturer and like the others, this thing is really useful and works great! I usually keep this in my car but will bring it into work if my phone is dying. I love how it works for car and home and even though I haven't used them both, the 2 USB ports seems like a great add-on.

When I use the wall plug feature it causes my iPhone 4 to become inoperable, the touch screen enlarges, bounces, then freezes up, once I unplug the phone the phone works fine....but the car plug feature seems to work without any problems, it would be cheaper to just buy a car plug

Title says it all. I can charge my iPhone and iPod, or iPhone and Kindle, or iPhone and Bluetooth headset at the same time. Both the wall plug and car carger works. I've gotten weird looks though because with the car charger cover on, this thing looks like one of those naughty vibrating toys... :)

This power supply works well and is small in size. It does not have the fold out pins like some do that give trouble. The connector is very small and seems like it would be easy to break by plugging the wrong way. Having a obvious visual mark on the Garmin and the ps plug would help to get this plugged in the right way.

The product wouldn't fit my nuvi product. I had a nuvi2595 LMT model . According to a website I visited the 2460 LMT was supposed to fit most all nuvi models including the 2595 model .I called the seller and they informed me I needed a different charger and asked me to send it back . Which I did and they credited me a refund. The sellers were very helpful in telling me which model would fit and refunded my purchase price.

I purchased one of these to charge some sealed lead acid batteries, and it works like a champ. Hook it up to the battery, plug it in and let it do its thing.

That being said, there are a couple of quirks the user should be aware of. The % capacity display is not at all accurate. It will typically state that a battery is 95% full, then increase slowly until saying it is fully charged, and on maintaining. I used this with several 9Ah 12V batteries, and some 8.5Ah 6V batteries. All of these were tested before & after with a BK Precision 601 professional battery analyzer. The readings never agreed, but that is not necessarily a problem.

BK Precision 601 Battery Capacity Analyzer

While the $400+ BK 601 is a great tool, it is not necessary to know the precise values of capacity, load and no-load voltage or internal resistance (unless you want to know these things of course!) If you are maintaining SLA batteries of a smaller capacity, say anywhere from 3 to 20Ah or so, just hook up the Schumacher and ignore the initial reading. If it says 95%, the capacity might be 80% or might be 45% (I saw readings higher and lower on the 601) No matter. Let the Schumacher charge until it says 'Fully Charged' or 'battery maintaining'. But do not stop charging just yet. At that point, the actual capacity might only be at 95 or 97% (as verified by the 601). Let it go another 15 minutes or half an hour. Then go ahead and disconnect. By that time, nearly all the batteries I tested were at the full 100% according to the BK 601.

If the battery is too far gone, the Schumacher will let you know. There are a few batteries here and there that will accept a charge from the Schumacher, but may not perform as well as new batteries. Outside of a professional analyzer, there is not much you can do about them. They will work, but may only have 90% or so of the charge. The Schumacher does as best as it can with them.

It also oworked well at auto-detecting 6V batteries. Very simple to use, and for easy operation and good performance, and a great price, I give it 5 stars. Just be aware of its limitations.

After receiving this gadget, I realize that I probably could have used the smaller SP2 unit, but now that I've had it a few weeks, I'm quite pleased with how it works.

It is pretty large, but still only about a quarter the sise of a car charger. It's roughly the size of a brick, and has a big LED readout that tells you what it's doing readable from a good distance.

So far, I've only used the alligator clips for my motorcycle battery, but this also comes with a connector that you can attach permanently to the battery and has a simple connector to the charger cord. That means you don't have to remove the seat to hook up the charger. That seems pretty useful, and if I ever decide to unhook my battery and risk losing all the settings on my stereo, I'll install it.

I think something like this is essential in places that have a proper winter that keeps you from riding for weeks at a time.

I love his little charger. I had been using old technology that only displays amperage. This charger shows you voltage and percentage of charge. Automatically selects battery voltage and type. Maintains battery at correct voltage and current to keep it float charged and avoid overcharging and damage. It's a keeper! Keep in mind it is a maintenance charger, not a high current deep charger.

I live on a river and built a campsite on an island across from my house (the dog loves it). I bought a deep-cycle marine battery but am getting too old to lug it in and out of the canoe for charging. So I got this little panel and, so far, have not run out of juice. And it's cheap enough so if someone steals it it's no big tragedy. I run a laptop, TV, fluorescent light and charge my cell phone. I even have a 12v car-vac to clean the sand out of the tent.

Of course, I'm not there 95% of the time so 5 watts is probably adequate. And I don't have to worry about overcharging. I screwed it to a big log in pretty open sun. So far, it has survived, even some small hail.

BTW, I use the power cord from an old vacuum cleaner and a 4-way 12v splitter to distribute power from the battery.

In 2006 I took a 3 week vacation out of the country. I left my car at the airport and away I went. Upon my return, I had to have the battery boosted for 15 minutes before it would turn my car's engine on. I have no idea what caused the drain (Sattelite Radio memory, car's other computers, etc), but I had to do something to prevent a $50.00 boost call in the future. A coworker told me about these devices and how his brother uses them to keep his mobile home powered when parked. Higher wattage products are sold, but if all you're doing is keeping a car battery charged, 5 watts is plenty of power for the job. No other devices (charger controllers) are needed. The charger comes with a couple of ways to hook up to the battery (direct battery terminal clips, cigarette lighter plug). I used the cigarette plug. Just plug it in to the power port, and lay the solar energy collector side face up on your dashboard. For those with heavily tinted windshields, I have no idea if the tint would cause a problem with the panel's energy collection.

This year, after returning from another 3 week trip (and using the solar charger), my battery started better than it did before my trip to the airport!

I recently ordered one of these panels (June 2007). The first one arrived shattered the manufacturer packaging does not protect the panel much and it was inadequately packaged in the shipping box by Amazon. The replacement unit was also badly packaged for shipment.

I tested the electrical output in full sunlight and got 20V out into a 100 ohm load -> 4 watts which is pretty good.

One thing to consider though is that this product is not very rugged. The solar panel has a plastic frame but the middle is unprotected on the back (and front). So unless you handle it very carefully it is likely to break.

Someone using this on a car dashboard would need some sort of protective carrier (like those insulated pizza boxes) to protect the unit when it was not being used.

-----------Update Dec 2007 ----------------

Panel stopped producing electricity in November. Had to send it in to Sunforce at my expense for warrantee replacement. They promptly tested it and sent me a replacement. One thing I did notice is that the plastic housing on the unit that I returned had developed some small cracks. I am using the unit on my car dashboard to keep my battery charged.

-----------Update Jan 2013 ----------------

The frame around the panel has warped and cracked. As a result the panel no longer reliably charges my battery. This product isn't really engineered for reliable operation on car dashboards the plastic / frame cannot deal with the extreme temperature changes over time.

Honest reviews on Sunforce 50022 5-Watt Solar Battery Trickle Charger

The unit was installed atop an RV to maintain the two (115 Amp-Hrs each) House Batteries while the vehicle is in storage. The batteries are connected in parallel, and the 5-watt unit has been doing an excellent job of maintaining the batteries at 13.32 volts. I am astonished that the manufacturer chose the BLACK color for the plastic frame. A quick test by placing the unit in the Arizona sun (in early April!) showed that the black plastic frame quickly got too hot to be touched. I carefully masked the solar array area and spray painted the frame with white Kilz spray paint. What a difference! The frame stays cool to the touch and the unit has been mounted on the roof of the RV ever since, performing flawlessly.

I took this on my one month trip to the Colorado mountains and used it daily. It kept my batteries charged that I use to run my pop up, and they never did run down. After 10 days of using one I switched to another battery just because I wanted to, but the one I was using was still working fine. I wasn't using a lot of power, but at the same rate of use I've never gotten more than four days out of charged battery before without a solar charger. This works very well at a great price. I got it soaked several times with no problem. I'd recommend it highly.

I've purchased this same car charger from eForcity before (this is my third one), and the last one I had broke in the same manner. When I pluged the device into my cigarette lighter output, it snapped most of the way apart. My second one did the same thing, except came all the way apart. I was able to snap it back together (that was super easy), but then it didn't work. My first one from the company did last a couple years, however.

So with this new one breaking, I looked on the company's website for return info and there was an email address I was supposed to contact. I did that and customer service responded within a day or two and said they were sending me a new charger. The replacement charger arrived about four days later, and I didn't have to take the time to return the broken one (I did ask where it should be sent to). I guess you get what you pay for, but customer service was great; I wish there were two places to give stars to!

The charger fits the adapter port well and always charges when it's plugged in. It doesn't have enough current output to really get a charge if you are using your phone constantly (GPS, Music). But for a quick top off or an emergency charge it works great.

This is so neat as there is never any cord laying around to get tangled up. Just push a button and it all reels back in. I leave mine plugged in half way where the light is off, then push it in a bit further to start the charging and the light comes on to assure you that you are charging. This is the highest quality as far as i can see.

The cord is supposed to retract when you press a button. This did not work. I took it apart to prestress the spring that does the retraction and that helped, but now extension is more difficult. The parts fit together nicely and the finish on the unit is nice. Internally it is cheaply made (but it sells for a low price, so ok). However, it should work without initial adjustment.

I purchased this inverter for loads that have heavy inductive startup motors. Refrigerator, well pump, etc which are powered off my solar battery system. Works perfectly where an Aims 5000 watt unit failed repeatedly. Handles startup currents from inductive loads perfectly as long as you are in the rated overload capacity. Workmanship is excellent. Instructions are detailed. Well worth the extra cost in quality and ruggedness. Very happy with unit.

I just purchased the APS2424 after a fantastic phone call with their technical support team.

I had been considering installing this unit in our Wood-Fired Pizza Truck (BasicKneadsPizza.com). We had purchased a nice generator, but after installing one on another truck, I wasn't blown away, even the quiestest Honda 3000 still stinks like a traffic jam.

James from Tripp-Lite's technical support line picked up quickly and gave me a free refresher course on physics; 36v input means 3 batteries in series, 24v=2 batteries. To double the capacity, a second bank in parallel would cost ~1/3 less with the 24v APS2424.

Not to mention the Auto-Transfer switch, and load sensor, this unit is basically going to be my prep table's personal assistant.

Our truck is going to rock this unit and two batteries in series. I am going to return an $80 transfer switch, sell a Parallax converter/charger for $100 and a Honda Eu3000is for $1200.

Generator system= ~$1600, noisy, stinky, needs gas and oil changes, huge amount of work to install.

Inverter system= ~$850, silent, maintenence free.

Sold.

Very good inverter. Built tough with simple hookup. This was our backup for a pure sine Cotek inverter.

The Cotek went up in smoke and this is currently my main inverter and it is doing a great job at powering my home off grid.

The APS2424 makes a slight hum while under load and the fan only switches on for short runs to cool.

I will get another pure sine inverter but I will always keep this one in service.

Personally I highly recommend the APS2424 to anyone needing a dependable inverter or a modifiable ups system.

Another thing that impressed me, I had a technical question and it was no problem speaking with a qualified friendly support person.

Great device~!

Reviews of iGo AC05105-0001 2-Port USB Battery Charger

Customer Ratings:

First, I should say, the picture resembles nothing like the product I received, but that isn't important here. The package is only the beholder of the technology I seek. Here are the prominent high points of this device.

* Can charge either one or two batteries independently.

* Global standard USB interface.

* Charges slowly to assure a higher capacity and longer battery life.

* Affordable.

There are a few cons:

* A single LED indicates the charging status. One battery may already be charged, but is it? You won't know until both are done.

* Batteries may fall out with careless handling.

* Lack of strain relief on USB port. If you plug this into your $2000 mac, I would recommend strongly to prop the device up as USB ports are not designed to bear this torque. I solved this problem with a 6" USB extension cable.

Don't use an expensive power source (laptop) unless you are certain that it is of robust design (or perhaps under warranty). After receiving this unit, I plugged it straight into my laptop and burned out the USB driver, so I no longer have USB functionality. This is not the fault of the charger. The laptop failed to shut off the USB when more current was drawn than was capable of, either due to defect or lack of compliance with the USB standard. It shouldn't happen, but it did. There are lower-risk and more efficient ways to charge your batteries than using a laptop, just don't do it.

Do as I do and have a USB automotive lighter or wall adaptor that charges my phone, kindle and batteries using a data cable.

I have 3 of the 2-cell chargers now, and they come packaged with the USB charger and 2 batteries. What I really like about these is that the cells are alkaline, full 1.5 volt rather than the 1.2 volt NIMH type. This makes for slightly more energy availability for your devices, maybe a tad brighter flashlight, or a longer time on your camera or player until it gets to the voltage that triggers it to turn off due to low battery. I put a pair of cells into the remote control for a Roku player box that gets a lot of use, and 6 months later the same batteries were humming along just fine on the same original charge. These batteries claim they're only good for about 200 charges at best, but where can you get that many batteries for your device for that low price? The USB powered charger is very convenient if you are around computers, and the LED charging indicator makes the use very easy to track. This is the ideal little charger device to pair with your digital camera if it uses 2 AAs. Buy it and throw it in your bag. If you already have some NIMH cells the charger can work with those too. The environmental factors of low toxicity and readily available materials plus very long charged shelf life are obvious bonuses. IGO AC05105-0001 2-PORT USB BATTERY CHARGER

There are multiple types of rechargable AA/AAA battery chemistry. Single use batteries are Alkaline, and iGo using alkaline for their rechargable batteries as well. I don't know the implications as far as number of recharging cycles versus.

Every battery has warnings similar to "Only use with a [company] charger." It's so common that I ignored it... The iGo Alkaline Batteries require this recharger, and this charger will only be compatible with those batteries. Do not mix these batteries with NiCad or another chemistry.

On to the batteries and charger themselves, I've been satisfied. The charger blinks when its charging, and stops blinking when they're charged. It'll charge two batteries at a time. I haven't plugged this into a computer, I've only been using it with a USB A/C adapter, just to protect the PC. It would work, I simply don't want to abuse it. With A/C adapters, realize that there's going to be a lot of weight on a cantilever unless you have a USB plug that points straight up.

The batteries seem to last long, but I don't have any stats to back that up, and I've recharged them a few times without issues.

The quick connect works well but the clips don't open wide enough to go over the battery clamps. They'll open wide enuff for the battery terminals, but not if you're all connected to the vehicle. With some jimming, they'll hang on. You can add a side terminal to the battery terminals but that adds to the overall cost of the set-up.

Also, make sure your quick connect ends are the right ones. There are two types, black ends or white ends. Match the color for proper fit.
