This extension cable does exactly what it promises to do connecting and disconnecting is a breeze! This extender allows you to keep your unit in the garage while you charge up a car that is even out in the driveway. It's a long cable, truly 1o foot & it works!

I recently purchased the NOCO Genius G750 6V/12V 750mA Fully Automatic Battery Charger and Maintainer (Grey) and decided to purchase the 10 foot extension, the cords the charger came with were long enough but I like having the extra slack when I need it.

I ordered two of these, one for myself and the other for my father. I also installed both of them an our bikes and they work perfectly.

As far as installation goes, I would recommend using a fuse tap (such as an add-a-circuit) from and auto parts store so that the converter box in the line doesn't drain the battery if you don't ride for a while. You may find, however that your fuse circuit is still hot because you may have relays on your fuse box, in that case, I would recommend installing a switch with the hot wire running into the fuse tap so that all you need to do is flip the switch off and the converter box will not use up your battery.

I don't think the converter box uses up that much power, but if it is directly connected to your battery (or you have the fuse tap in a hot circuit ((by hot circuit, I mean that it is getting power even with the ignition off)) ), the converter box IS using power constantly, so that is why i recommend using a switch or a fuse tap to a switched circuit (meaning a circuit that is not receiving power when the ignition is off).

Make sure you ground everything you install, or it won't work, and make sure every new line has a fuse (why i recommend the fuse tap).

You will have to ground the converter box or the setup will not work. If you use a switch with an LED indicator on it, you will also have to ground the switch if you want the LED to work, but not grounding the switch should not impact the setup's functionality as long as the converter box is grounded (speaking from logic, not experience).

If you have any question for motorcycle install, feel free to ask... I know how difficult it can be to find answers to these questions, but fortunately i found a setup that worked for me and my dad.

Nice cable for direct wire up of the Garmin Nuvi. The only awkward part is the fact that the step down transformer (black egg looking thing) is only 2 feet from the plug that goes into the Nuvi. That makes it hard to hide the cable from view. It has a small led to let you know that it is connected to power and that seems to draw a small amount of current even when not plugged into the Nuvi. Keep that in mind if current drain is a concern.

A note inside the packaging for this unit says the following: "Thank you for the purchase of the Gilsson Direct Wire Cable. Please be sure to test our Direct Wire Cable with your GPS to ensure it does not go into PC Charge Mode while connected to the power source. In certain ISOLATED cases of Garmin nuvi 205, 255W and 265W GPS receivers, customers have reported the PC Charge Mode issue.......". Well, my Garmin nuvi 205W displays a PC to GPS connection icon on the screen after about 30 seconds on this power converter, i.e. the map can't be displayed, making it utterly useless. If the power unit has known issues with certain GPS models they should not list those models as compatible with their product. Back to Amazon it goes.

Honest reviews on Gilsson Direct Wire Cable for Garmin Nuvi 205 255 265 550 660 755

Two main problems:

1) Poor quality -The unit had a intermittent open circuit at the lower strain relief connector from the unit. If I moved the cable it would make connection but would lose connection again. I knew I'd have to fix their poor wiring for the unit to have a chance of being reliable, but it didn't matter since it was incompatible with my Nuvi 255 (see next problem).

2) Garmin issues -The unit comes with a little slip of paper that shows that Gilsson knowingly sells this product with a problem that it goes into PC charge mode when connected. They claim this only occurs with Nuvi 205, 255W, and 265W GPS receivers. I have a Nuvi 255 and it does have the problem, making the Gilsson unit useless. I'm glad it works for some other customers, but for me, this was a bad purchase.

I rarely post reviews unless a product is either very good or very bad. This one is in the bad category. Beware.

Ok, so I was looking for something to power my nuvi GPS on motorcycle. Read many reviews and picked this one. It does work well. Used ties to position voltage reducer to frame under seat. Then ran striped wires end to splice into tail light. Lastly, I ran GPS plug end under tank along existing wires and tied them down. And there you have it... Riding all day with a powered GPS on a motorcycle.

There is nothing wrong with this shroud except the vent and the AC on a Chinook motorhome were too close together by about 2" for it to fit. I laid it back intending to return it but never did because of the cost of return shipping. I had forgotten about it until asked to write this review. The reason for three stars only is I think the listing should have told me how much clearance was needed around the vent to install it. It is headed for Craigslist one of these days. Don't let this review stop you from purchasing it as it looks well made. Just measure your clearance carefully.

The four units I purchased served the intended purpose just fine. Easy to use and set up. We were on the road 600 miles, three vehicles, one being a 26 foot rental truck. Keeping in touch was a must and they worked just fine. However, the claim of a 10 mile range is ludicrous to say the least. Uniden must have tested the range with one on top of Mt. Everest and the other on another nearby mountain top. Battery life is poor to ridiculous even on low power. Smart move is to carry an extra 20-pack of AAA's.

I have a large power inverter (Whistler Pro 3000/6000) that I use occasionally in the field. I removed the included clamp crimp lugs, and used larger lugs for my 4/0 cable. I just clip these clamps to my truck's battery posts (with the engine running!) and can run my 2hp air compressor all day. Clamps are heavy press formed sheet steel with rivet hinges, so one star off for rivets instead of stronger hardware. Hopefully the rivets will hold up. So far so good.

I want to preface that since installing the clamp on my jumper cables, I have not had an opportunity to actually used them other than to test the grip, which is strong. The quality of the clamp did not match what I was replacing which was a heavy duty chrome clamp. The picture gives the buyer the impression it is chrome although it is not much more than polished galvanized steel. The plastic covering the handles is thin and subject to slipping off. The method used with this clamp to attach the cable is its weakest link. That being said, The price was very reasonable and the service provided by the seller was excellent. I would purchase from this seller again.

Let me start off by saying my goal of ordering this was to hardwire a Pi into my vehicle. I was looking for an option that allowed for the easiest install and this was the only hardwire kit I found (others probably exist now). At the same time of install I was doing a stereo replacement so I tapped into those wires as not to have a always on charger. I needed it to turn off when the vehicle was off. This also resulted in it working correctly in acc mode.

Pros:

Easy two wire, power and ground. Took all of 5 minutes to splice together wires. Allows me also to charge my cellphone, very convenient. Steady supply, no glitches from this power supply.

Cons:

None really aimed at the product. Shipping took a few weeks but that is not the products fault.

If you are looking to hardwire your Pi into your car this power supply works flawlessly. No random issues with dropping power or hectic pi actions due to unstable supply.

I got these for my grandsons, and my daughter particularly asked me to write a review praising them. They are easy to use, and very durable. She found the user manual very helpful, actually written by someone who speaks English. She has found one feature particularly helpful. It is possible to lock the controls, so that the kids don't get the settings out of whack. This eliminated some irritation caused by the younger child changing channels in the middle of the game.

This pair is a decent entry level compact two way radios.

If you are looking for simple, compact, short range two way radios, this is perfect for you. It's very simple to use, fits right in your palms for easy grip and handling. It's got a belt clip which makes it easy to carry around. You can use the rechargeable batter it packs with or use your own AAA batteries as back ups, which can be helpful on longer trips or usage.

Some of the negatives:

1. this model do not have 'sub-channels'. this can really bother you if you constantly have other users on the same channel jamming.

2. battery level only shows up when it's low. this can be an hassle unless you carry extra AAA batteries.

3. When on 'LOCK' status, you cannot change volume because it locks all the buttons.

4. volume is somewhat low and voice cracks on highest setting

I got this for the same reason anyone would want a charger/maintainer... and that is to charge a battery and keep it there. I have a classic British sports car that I rarely drive, and until I started using this charger I would return to my car to a dead battery. This charger/maintainer comes with everything you need to quickly connect and disconnect this item, in 3 different ways: eye hole connectors to permanently attach the quick connector to your battery for very easy use, large alligator type clips for temporary use on a car that you want to just charge the battery on, and for super easy use there is a plug for use in the 12volt power outlet or cigar lighter. It has power sensing, so you cant over charge, and it will maintain the proper voltage for as long as it is connected. The wires are long enough from the charger itself to stretch across any car, and the power cable is about 8 feet long. Great little charger/maintainer. I would recommend this to anyone.

I love this little guy! When I store my tractor over the winter, the battery loses it's charge to the point it won't turn over. The SC-300A can be plugged in all winter to maintain its charge safely.

The good: It comes with quick release cables that attach directly to your battery so that you have a solid connection to the charger. I wouldn't use the claws for seasonal storage as they could disconnect or short. Even during the cutting season, I plug it back into the charger/maintaner to keep the battery at full charge. They include a cigarette lighter attachment for folks who need to take it on the road. I never tried it so I can't comment on how good it is.

The not-so-good: None as far as I can tell. I think Schumacher makes a good product and it's a perfect size for a shelf near your tractor or other battery equipment. Don't expect to be charging full size batteries but I'm sure it would work in an emergency if you had nothing else around.

My rating: 5-Stars you can't go wrong and the price is great along with the peace of mind buying with Amazons return policy.

Honest reviews on Schumacher SC-300A Speedcharge 3 Amp Charger/Maintainer

This unit worked fine for 15-months, but now the Green and Yellow light are always on. I contacted customer service many times but I can not get an explanation why the yellow light stays on. I have had it connected for nearly 30-hours to a new car 12-v battery. Even after driving around for some time to assure the battery was charged, it still stays lit on the yellow.

While I could say 15-months for a $27 item might be worth it (I would say not....), the lack of better customer support keeps me from really trusting this anymore.

This has a two-year warranty, so I'm sending it in. Granted, that may not be worth my time and postage, but I'll give them one more shot at my business.

ps: one of the contacts with customer service was leaving my phone number for them to call me back (that is an option after being on hold) ..... they never called me back.

Update: the day after I posted this review (June28), customer service did call me. I was given a Return Authorization Number and I shipped it back as it is covered under warrentee.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Schumacher SC-300A Speedcharge 3 Amp Charger/Maintainer

The SC-300A is a gem! We own a mint pre-2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT that has the wonderful feature of U.S. Gov't approved (or perhaps dictated) day and night safety running lights that can never be turned off! Wonderful if you drive like a nut or on long trips and need a mothership of lighting others can see all the time, but not so good if you drive around town on short trips and even the best alternator can't power all those running lights, internal dome and door lights, ignition, battery, fans, bla,bla,bla. Did I mention we have a detached, unheated garage and live at 42' North latitude in a snow belt?

Enter the SC-300A.. While the documentation is poor and repetitive legal ease warnings abound, perhaps what's missing mostly is a detailed description of what the three lights on the unit represent when the thing's hooked up. It's paramount that the unit be hooked up the battery to be charged FIRST... This gives this genius a test scan of the battery condition, shorts etc. Once this is done you'll see no indication it's hooked up correctly until the charger is plugged into AC. At that point, the amber charging and green light briefly come on, then the green light stays off and the amber stays on. Depending on the condition of the battery, the amber light will stay on until the battery reaches a safe pulse charged level followed by the unit alternating to green and back to amber, then from amber back to green until the battery is fully charged. But this is also a battery maintainer, so the green and amber lights continue to alternate as long as the unit is connected to the battery and you'll quickly discover the green light remains on for some time when your close to or fully charged.

Incidentally, if you ever see the red light come on, quickly disconnect the charger at the AC end then at the battery and check your connections and battery for a short.

It took about 10 hours to fully charge a 550 CCA battery that was about 25% depleted.

It is safe to leave the charger on indefinitely as a maintenance trickle. Other high amp quick chargers can damage batteries by drying them out and often aren't smart enough to step down, shut off, or maintain a safe regulated trickle.

I also discovered that because the unit is fairly RF noisy, I could actually monitor the pulse charging over an AM radio low end 530 band while in the comfort of my warm house.

Downside of this product: Made in China

UPDATE: Ordered a second Schumacher SC-300A Speedcharge and got a Schumacher SC-200A Speedcharge instead in a SC-300A box. Is it our job to teach Chinese workers English? My reveiw drops from 5 stars to 3 oh, and by the way, China su__s!
