Best HQRP 10A Waterproof Solar Panel Power Battery Charge Controller Deals

Customer Ratings:

Ive been running this charge controller for about 6 months on a single 120 watt solar panel to a small battery bank and it has worked flawlessly.

The unit is solidly built and has a quality feel. Ive checked the voltage reading on all charge stages and they are spot on accurate.

The load out is designed for running lights after the panels stop producing power.

One nice feature is it will handle 12 or 24 volt systems and does so automatically.

So if you have a system that is running 150 watts at 12 volts or 300 watts at 24 volts give this controller consideration.

I would definitely recommend this product for small or portable installations.

This unit has worked flawlessly under all weather conditions. The timer function for turning on and off 12 v DC landscape lighting has been amazing. The unit senses and remembers the sunrise and sunset and adjusts accordingly. Just hooked it up and forget and it does its thing. Hookup is a breeze.

Cheap Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G

Customer Ratings:

If you have an Apple iPhone 3G, then you probably have the same three complaints that everyone else does:

1) No video camcorder

2) No flash

3) Battery life is poor

Well, the Kensington Mini Battery Extender helps address the third flaw. I also bought an Incase Power Slider because I was wondering how they compared. I had read reviews and heard from people that the Mophie Juice Pack had problems with the rubber case falling off, so I decided to skip that one, although I played around with it a bit before buying the Incase.

All these products perform their basic function admirably they charge your iPhone when you don't have access to an outlet. I can't actually compare which one recharges the most or for the longest, but it's pretty safe to say that they should take care of you through most typical situations (e.g. a transcontinental flight, a busy day on the phone, or a night out with friends after a long day at work). Unless you are Jack Bauer and have a magical cell phone that never runs down, chances are that any of these will keep you in power.

But the fit and finish of these products is the real differentiator (along with price). In reverse order, are my preferences:

3) Mophie Juice Pack: Adds a little bulk to the iPhone, but the rubber covering can cause problems in the long run. But I also didn't like the design it only partially covers the iPhone, leaving the top part exposed. Seemed awkward to me, combine that with the high price, and this wouldn't be my first (or second) choice.

2) Kensington Mini Battery Extender: The design is very awkward. Other owners had talked about keeping it attached while using the phone not only does the connection feel flimsy (making me fear that the dock connector would be damaged), but it also looks unattractive. I'd only use this in an emergency situation or if I wasn't planning on using the phone at the same time. The only reason I have it as my second choice is because the price is right for less than $35 (MSRP is $39), you can have the same power backup as with the Mophie or the Incase. If you are on a budget, then this is a great option. Another possible scenario is if you want to have more than one battery extender/charger you can get three of these for the same price as one of the others.

1) Incase Power Slider: By far, the Power Slider had the best design. The two-part design completely encases the iPhone, increasing the dimensions only slightly. It's a little wider, a little longer, a little thicker, and a little heavier. But it's a very natural look, and most people wouldn't even realize it's also a battery pack. It's pretty easy to put on and take off, and feels like a second skin in the end without impeding the camera. But it is harder to access buttons, so I don't plan on using this on a daily basis only when I travel.

SUMMARY: Like I said, any of these will do the basic job, but the Kensington will do it cheaper and the Incase will do it in style.

Wanted to confirm that this works with Iphone 3g just fine. You can keep using your Iphone and listening to music etc while this is attached (it puts it into charging mode like plugging it into a wall outlet). Hoping to use this for my plane travel this week will report on battery life.

Also, wanted to say that this seems to charge fine with my Belkin Iphone charger (the set where you get wall and car charger with usb plug ins on both) it's really nice because the wall charger has two usb outlets so you can charge both the battery and Iphone at the same time without a laptop etc.

Best Deals for Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G

I tested this charger on my iPhone(first iphone version when they just came out.)

I drained my iphone down to 10% warning and plugged in a fully-charger Kensington Battery. It took about 70 minutes until the charger's juice was gone and it powered my iPhone to about 50%. Surely enough, 3 hours later of constant texting, my iphone gave me the 10% business.

The Good:

Truly Portable. Dimensions are 2.5 x 2 x 0.5 inches. (I'm not sure why at the time of this review, it shows dimensions as 5.2 x 6 x 1.5 units. I pondered why this was the case, and it turns out that these dimentions are in centimeters.) Dimensions blend in well with your iPhone: it doesn't stick out, but just extends the lenght of your iphone by 2 inches.

Charge and use your phone at same time: No need to wait til the power transfers.

Stylish: Yes, I said "stylish." Every time I plug this in, the other iPhone users turn their heads and wonder what my little attachment does. The brightly-lit blue energy bar really stands out and lets you charge in style.

Tiny charging retractible USB cable: While its 4 inches in closed position, its retractible up to 2 feet at full lenght. Its fully compatible with iphone's usb plug adapter, so you can charge your battery on the plug OR using computer's USB slot.

The Bad:

For emergencies only. It would be nice if this portable charger had more juice capacity than 50% of the iPhone's battery. Because of this, I don't carry it as much and only take it with me for emergency purposes. Its a good thing to keep in your car's glove compartment or at home for those blackouts.

Bottom Line: Perfect for emergencies, but will leave you wishing for more juice in the long run.

Honest reviews on Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G

With my morning 30 minute conference calls, I barely get by each day without needing to recharge my iPhone.

What drew me to this was the all in one style design. No cables or mess to deal with. Here's the low down:

Cons:

Simultaneous charging (connected to my Macbook Pro) took a little longer than preferred, but I guess it was because my iPhone was completely dead.

Pros:

Tiny battery pack was able to charge my iPhone to about 65% from dead which was impressive in a relatively short period of time

Battery indicator was extremely helpful

Small enough to keep in my pocket without the weight and bulk

The smartest thing about this battery pack is that it leaves about a 1.5mm gap on the bottom of the iPhone so the microphone isn't blocked. Genius.

Oh yeah, it comes with a plastic cap to protect the connector if you toss it in your work bag or something.

Just got this battery from amazon today. It works great.

To test it out on my new 3G iPhone, I drained the phone's battery completely. The external battery was not charged out of the box so I fully charged the external battery through my computer, which took about 3 hours. Then I attached the charged external battery to the iPhone. I kept the iPhone off while it was being charged by the external battery. The external battery charged my iPhone back to 80% battery life. The charge took about 1 hour.

Also, I have a case on the iPhone and did not encounter any issues with charging the phone with the external battery. The case did not have to come off!

Excellent product. I'll use this just about daily at work/home.

We live on 23 acres and use these almost every day to stay in touch while I am in the barn, hills etc. They work fine from inside a metal building to inside the house about 500 feet away. Actually they work from anywhere on the property. I tried them from down the road about 1/2 mile away, on the other side of a hill. Could hear the paging sound but we could not understand each other. I like the LED light, it is actually bright enough to be useful at night. Battery life is good, an over night charge lasts all day and then some.

I purchased this with Motorola Earpiece with Boom Microphone. I couldn't first make them work together but the manual has an important detail:

Do not plug the headset when the radio is on. If you do that, then the radio immediately starts transmitting and does not stop no matter what you do until the head set is unplugged.

To use the headset, turn off the radio, plug in the headset, open the radio. When you do that it goes into VOX mode, it will start transmitting in about one second of your speaking. If you press PTT button, the VOX will be cancelled, and if you want to enable VOX again just turn off and on the radio.

Devices work great, they are easy to use on basic functions and require a bit more time for some of the bonus functions but it's to be expected with so many features.

1 Star reduction for the distance claim. While I was not naive enough to believe I would easily get 27 miles, I'm lucky if I'm getting over 2 miles around where I live. I've tested it a few different ways but the range can easily be reduced to a significant extent. Having known that would be an issue going into the purchase, it works great for almost all the uses we had intended it for that didn't involve moderate distance.

The LED is a nice feature, although we haven't had need of it, it has come in handy once or twice. The unit is easy enough for a 3 year old to understand it's basic use and all the features have worked as expected. The charge so far has held up well and we've used it infrequently for about 8 months. If you have neighborhood friends/babysitters/kid's friends then it works great as a replacement to a cell phone. Although our kids are not old enough for a cellphone, it's definitely an alternative.

Honest reviews on Motorola MJ270R 22-Channel 27-Mile Two-Way Radios

The one big issue I have with the radios is the battery. The battery does not hold a charge for very long. I finally gave up and pulled it out to replace it with rechargeable AA batteries (3) That worked fine. The sound quality is OK at best. These were used for a cross country road trip and we had areas of limited coverage and areas of ok coverage. We were never more than a mile away from each other. I probably would NOT buy these again.

I used these on a road trip with 7 other cars. They worked great. I could hear everyone in the group and everyone else could hear us nice and clear. I had a set of Cobra radios the batteries only last about 3 hours and were dead. The Motorola radios only used 1 bar on the battery level and that was after a 6 hour drive and chatting almost the whole time.

I tested the range. It's about 2 miles in the city.

If we ever need another set of radios I'm definately buying Motorola ones again.

Review of Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi Boombox

Customer Ratings:

As others have noted:

PROS:

Decent sound, long antenna cord (20'), compact design, clean aesthetics.

CONS:

Flimsy volume control, antenna can't be attached without removing the battery compartment cover, and VERY ANNOYING high pitched hum that makes you think you're listening to AM radio. Unless you are willing to put up with this and need the portability, you're better off buying a home adpater and running the receiver through your home audio setup.

I bought my first XM 3-4 months ago and love it. I enjoy having the cable news at my finger tips and endless static free music where ever I go. The first thing I noticed was that all the chatter from the local radio adds and DJs was gone. Ahhh! what a relief. My only frustration was that I couldn't take this format with me; my old boombox was burdened with the same old adds and limited format. I'm thrilled Delphi has brought this out; I the tunner, car kit and boom box yesterday. My Sony, though very good is going to ebay. I've traded up.

Delphi has solved the problem with a product that is very well engineered. The sound of this boom box is very full. The tunner is great; love the all the display info and options. The satellite antenna wire stores inside the base (in case you don't need to run it to a window .. which I haven't had to do yet .. maybe when we go out of town).

I'm very pleased.

Best Deals for Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi Boombox

Delphi must have made an attempt to improve this model. Neither unit I bought had the high-pitched noise described by previous Amazon reviewers. But both units I received do have an AC hum when using the power adapter, and both have another noise -a repetitive, low-level clicking sound.

The noise isn't noticeable if the volume level is set above 6 or so, and if the boombox is placed a few feet from you. But if you listen at low volume with the unit close by, you might find the incessant click-click-click quite annoying. Classical music fans may find this unit completely unacceptable. At low volume during the quieter passages of classical music (XM channels 110, 112, and 113), the clicking sound actually breaks up the audio.

I unplugged all wireless devices in the house (they supposedly can cause interference with satellite radios), but that didn't solve the problem, even with the units placed well apart in different parts of the house. I suspect the clicking has more to do with the refreshing of the SkyFi 2 receiver's digital display than it does any external interference -it does appear synchronized with the scrolling display when you have it set to scroll.

I understand the SkyFi 2 receiver is not to blame, and that the receiver works well with other home or car audio kits. So, apparently, it's the Delphi boombox.

And there's another overall audio weakness in the product. In spite of the sales talk about the beefy, dual-cone speakers, the units sound like cheapo drugstore boomboxes. Actually, they sound less like boomboxes and more like "woof" boxes. Besides bass being practically nonexistent, harmonics in the plastic cases (sometimes called "case resonance") create a lot of cheap-sounding, mid-range woofiness. That has the unfortunate effect of rendering some talk programming -especially vintage recordings on the old-time radio channel and the comedy channel -almost unintelligible in places.

(I did manage to improve this problem a little on one of our units by removing the pop-off speaker grille covers, and by lining the boombox's interior with peel-and-stick felt to deaden the woofy harmonics. I don't recommend anyone try this. Besides possibly voiding the warranty, there are electronic components inside that could cause a nasty shock or could easily be damaged, and there is a heat sink inside that felt must be kept well away from or smoke or fire may result.)

If this is the only experience you have with satellite radio, you'll go away thinking it sounds little or no better than local AM radio. But -unless you're a classical music listener -it's not completely bad. Just wait for some heavy discounting before buying one, and make sure that you're willing to put up with some noisiness, and audio quality that's a little cheap-sounding.

For the money -especially the MSRP the unit originally sold for -it should have been better.

Honest reviews on Delphi SA10001 XM SKYFi Boombox

Boombox is nice, light weight, easy to move around. We got an antenna error and discovered (after much frustration and no help from Delphi or other merchants) that you must have the batteries in the unit even when using the plug for power. This eliminated our antenna error. But once that problem was solved, we love the unit!

This thing is a HUGE dissapointment. There is an awful high pitched tone that you can hear behind the music. The only way to avoid it is to turn up the music so loud that it drowns the buzz out. If you listen to classical or jazz forget about this boombox. If you don't like listening to your music super loud forget about this boombox. It will drive you crazy. Listening to talk on this is awful. The buzzing will drive you crazy. It is like listening to a distant am station. I can't believe this thing is being sold on the market. It needs to be recalled and the problem needs to be fixed. Many people have had problems with this box and Delphi refuses to acknowledge the problem even though they know about it and have received many complaints. Don't buy this boombox. It is a waste of time and money.

Review of Etronic 2.1Amps / 12W Dual USB Car charger Designed for Apple

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $7.44
Today's Bonus: 75% Off

This very inexpensive portable car charger is a real boost to families who need to charge phones or iPads etc while on the road. This slick little charger plugs into your car port and has two USB ports for charging two devices at the same time (and equally well! because the design provides 2.1 amps 1 amp per port). The electronic design has circuitry that prevents over heating, over current and over charging: once a device is fully charged the process stops automatically. And as with many other ETRONIC devices there is an LED light that assures you the charger and the devices being charged are correctly placed and ready to charge.

No more hauling our devices into the coffee shop or restaurant and asking for a table near an outlet. The upkeep and charging of the specified devices is all fulfilled by the little device in your car iPad, iPhone, iPod, HTC, Blackberry, MP3 Players, Digital Cameras, PDAs, Mobile Phones.

The packaging is well designed and can be used to store the device when not in use (in the glove compartment or seat divider), the instructions are clear, and just to reassure you that you have made a sound purchase, ETRONIC backs its product with a 1 year warranty. Another very fine product from ETRONIC. Grady Harp, October 13

Best Deals for Etronic 2.1Amps / 12W Dual USB Car charger Designed for Apple

The Etronic Dual USB Car Charger fits snugly into our Malibu's cigarette lighter socket. It measures approximately 2 3/4" long & doesn't protrude as far into the console as some USB car chargers. If you don't have too much room in that area, this car charger should work for you.

This charger has 2 labeled USB ports (1A & 2.1A); however, it has a total output of 2.1 amps so if you're using the 2.1A port for your iPad or power hungry tablet & the 1A for your phone, mp3 player, etc, your iPad will charge slower than it would if it was the only device charging. That being said, you can still charge two devices at once...it's just that charging might be slower.

This charger has very important circuit protection: over-heated, over-current, & over-charging protection. Charging will be automatically stop when battery is full.

I charged my old LG Cosmos prepaid phone & my Kindle Fire HD at the same time with no problems.

The ports are labeled, but the labels are hard to see. Just remember that the 2.1A port is on the bottom of the charger.

Nice charger which performs as advertised.

I've tried a number of different car chargers. Some last, some don't. Some are really bulky, others are flimsy. This is a solidly built, two USB port charger. When plugged in securely, it illuminates in the middle with a gentle blue LED. I've been using it for a few weeks now for a hands free headset and my cell phone with no trouble at all.

It stays put and doesn't pop out too easily but will pull out when given the right amount of effort.

It has a sleek, smooth, white finish and is small enough to keep in a car pocket, glove compartment or center console.

Overall, a good product at a nice price. I was provided a unit for evaluation and an honest review.

Please view my video for further information.

Background:

I have purchased a lot of car chargers in the past. One of the biggest issues I had is that after a week or so, the ports would become really loose and your devices would only charge if you got the adapter in the perfect position. Just from opening the package and holding this adapter, I can tell that it is much better quality than ones I have used in the past.

There are a lot of car chargers out there, but what makes this one worth buying?:

Pros:

1) There are 2 USB ports

2) Of the two ports, one is 2.1amps, one is 1amp. That means you can charge BOTH an iPad/tablet AND a phone at the same time

3) Mat grey finish is applied where cables are unplugged a lot to keep from scratching. (yes this is just a cosmetic feature, but it makes everyone feel better when there electronics don't get scratched!)

4) EXTREMELY SMALL

Cons:

1) No replaceable fuse

This car charger simply does what it states. It will charge any device through USB while your 12V plug on your car is on. It provides users with the ability to use GPS aps in their car without completely draining there battery when they get to their destination

What would make this product better?

The only thing I would change is that I would like a switch on the side of each USB port that allowed you to change the power output. The reason is that it would be nice to be able to charge 2 iPads/tablets at once or 2 phones at once. YES you can charge your phone with a 2.1 amp output, but I'm not sure that it's too good for your battery.

Would you buy it for a friend/recommend it?

WITHOUT A DOUBT!! At the price point, one cannot go wrong buying this product.

Best Thunderbolt Solar Panel Kit 45 Watt Deals

Customer Ratings:

Solar power is an amazing resource. Capturing a tiny drop of the sun's massive nuclear-reactive power (386 billion billion megaWatts) is a fascinating concept.

I've been interested in solar power for years, but my interest went into high gear when I became involved in Ham Radio. (Currently, I have my "General Ticket" and I'm working on my "Extra".)

Learning how to tap into auxiliary power sources is an important part of being involved in Ham (Amateur) Radio. After all, what good is it to have a Ham Radio if you can't use it when the power goes out?

I have a good friend who's been involved in Ham Radio for several years, and he highly recommended this "solar system." This is the very set that my friend had hooked up at his house. In fact, he was so pleased with the first system that he went back and bought a second set. He was most impressed with the "solar controller" which is discussed more below.

After several tours of a friend's "Ham Shack," and after receiving several helpful tutorials on this topic from my friend, I was ready to take the plunge.

It took about 12 hours to install the whole rig, and my oh my, it was a fun project. And watching those photovoltaic cells turn the sunlight into electricity is every bit as fascinating as I'd thought it would be.

If I were queen of the world (and it shouldn't be long now), I'd recommend that every homeowner in America have a set of these on their roof.

The controller that came with the solar panels is quite impressive. It has a digital display that's large and easy to read, and shows the remaining voltage in the battery power. The unit is made of aluminum and the knobs are solid and sure.

Another nice bonus that came with this set are two of these 12-volt LED lights. They do a good job of illuminating the dark corners of our little shed, where this unit is now installed.

Hubby and I spent countless hours figuring out the correct angle for the panels, and it varies, depending on the time of year. There were many factors such as the big old tall trees in our yard. After the "Solar System" was all set up, we were both AMAZED and pleased to see that it started charging immediately. What was so amazing? It was a dark, cold, gloomy overcast day.

I highly recommend this unit. The PVC frame is well-made and *fairly* sturdy and it's easy to assemble. Best of all, this system really works. One caveat, you'll need to buy a deep cycle marine battery (about $140) and a good quality inverter (I recommend at least 750 watts). Expect to spend another $60+ for the inverter.

Buy ORO Technology SE-7771 Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor

Customer Ratings:

I called the VW service center at the dealer and they wanted to charge me $86 per sensor and then $25 to install each one. Don't get me started on how much I hate VW and my 2009 Routan....They wanted a total of about $450 (ballpark). I bought 4 sensors for $130, had the local tire center install all of them for $30 for a total of about 160 (plus tax, etc). since the sensors 'connect' to the car automatically once I drove around for about 15 minutes the pressure indicators when off and I've had no problems since. Saved about $300'ish by purchasing these on Amazon and helped out a local merchant (as opposed to the VW dealer, who, is actually a local merchant but see my comment above on my views of the VW dealer).

If you need TPMS for your car/van I recommend buying on Amazon instead of going with the dealer.
