New OEM Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4, and iPod USB Wall Charger with Sync Cable

New OEM Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4, and iPod USB Wall Charger with Sync Cable
  • The OEM Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4, and iPod USB Wall Charger with Sync Cable comes widely respected.

I purchased two of these as spares for my iPhone 4 and my original iPad. They do look and feel just like the original Apple ones, but neither of them worked at all. Plugged them in to the wall, attached to my device NOTHING. Did not charge, did not show the "This Device is Not Made for an iPhone" message nothing. I did try the cable with my factory block and it worked, so it is the power block itself. Even worse, the company offers free shipping, but upon returning the devices they charge $3 EACH for shipping (deducted from return). I would stay away at all costs.

This says it is an OEM Apple product. It is not, there is nothing on either piece that says Apple or has the Apple logo. It also claims to work on 3rd Gen iPod touches. It does not. The message comes up that the device will not charge. Someone should be able to remove lying items from Amazon.

Received this very promptly. I immediately took it out of the package and tried to charge my phone with it. My phone informed me that charging was NOT supported by this device.

The first thing I did when this POS arrived was compare it to the one that came with my wife's iPhone to see if it was legit. And the first thing I noticed was that instead of it being "Made by Apple", is was "Made by Abble"! Even the copyright notice was Abble instead of Apple. Then, the flippen USB doesn't even sit flush in the port. It sticks out! Horrible...buy the best and eff the rest.

This item fell apart the first time I used it; I should have expected that. Today I ordered one from Apple.

I bought this and was skeptical because of the great price. I was shocked to see the well made construction, works extremely well and it has been in our boat all season with no problems. Well worth it!

Want PYLE PLMRCAP18 1.8 F 20V Round Marine Capacitor Discount?

I purchased two of these and one arrived with a dent in it. This was probably due to them being in the same box with absolutely no packing material in the box. So, one must have banged against the other in transport. I am not sure if this affected the performance or not.

My real problem was actually with the digital display. I found that the LED's for the display put a constant drain on the capacitors, which made it useless for my purposes. I needed them to hold a charge while not hooked up. This may not be an issue for others.

The only drawback I found to this cap is its inability to cover the live terminals. It fit just fine, although the included screws did not hold the MDF board material for very long at all. The mounts worked fine, and so far, I have had no issues. It's a good capacitor for the cash, but keep some liquid tape and some coarse screws handy.

Hopkins BC0840PDQ Ultra Power Booster Cable Set

Hopkins BC0840PDQ Ultra Power Booster Cable SetThe cables are well made and come with a decent case. The issue I have with them is the Cinch-Lock clamps. They work great on soft metal terminals like lead. However, on many newer cars, you don't have the option to clamp onto the lead terminals. Only a hard metal post is provided. When the clamps cannot get a good bite on the battery terminal you don't get a good connection. Overall they do work, but it takes a lot of fiddling to get the connections solid.

The design and construction of this product is good. They fit well in the little case that is provided and slide nicely under the seat of my car. They are certainly not heavy duty cables, but at 16 feet they are long enough for most situations and as claimed in the description they should be more than adequate for any car or small trucks and SUVs.

I've only needed to use the cables once, but I liked the cinch-lock mechanism and it made me confident that they would not fall off or move around at all during use.

Buy Hopkins BC0840PDQ Ultra Power Booster Cable Set Now

I bought another cable with normal clamps first, and later ordered these on Amazon. I used both, and there are some things I liked about this cable, but I also noticed minor issues with the design.

How They Work:

It's worth explaining how the clamps work, which I hadn't realized until they arrived. Unlike other clamps, the springs in the clamps pull them open instead of closing them. As you close the clamps, the clamps are locked in small steps by some sort of mechanism, preventing the springs from pulling them open. To open the clamps, you release the lock and the spring tension opens the clamp.

Pros:

Overall these look more sturdy and durable compared to other cables I saw

The clamping mechanism allows them to lock stronger than the spring tension in some other clamps can

Nice carrying pouch that's easier to store compared to hard plastic cases

Cons:

The clamps are a bit bulkier, making it harder to get in tighter spots

When you get the clamps in tighter spots, you have to be careful when you reach for the lock release for removing the clamps

Overall, I'm happy with the cables and would recommend them.

I wish this product had came in with a detailed instruction on how the quick release button works (how you open up the clamp). Sorry, I don't take cues, but I do read instructions. Well, if you have this problem like me, and not sure about how to open up the clamp, then, the tip is--push the black, so-called "quick release button" down, and we will go from there.

Three stars for lacking detailed instructions.

Although I have not had a chance to use this product yet. I wanted a sturdy one which The family Handyman recommended. It was a lot stronger then any of the other ones I was going to buy at the box stores.

Mazda MIATA Battery

Mazda MIATA BatteryI have a 92 Miata and the old Westco died after only 4 years of service. Since this battery is so much cheaper than Westco's now $133 pricetag for something that's made overseas, I figure I'd get this item which is reported to be the same exact unit as the old Westco made by EastPenn Deka with the exact same dimensions. Since mine was the first generation Miata with round vent tubes, the venting outlets should also fit perfectly.

I ordered the item straight from BatteryMart, which uses Google checkout. They also shipped out the package the same day they received my order in the morning. As I need the battery to start my car, it was much appreciated.

However, UPS delivery had a problem since the address was missing my apartment number. I called Batterymart since I was sure I entered the apartment number in the original order (shown in email confirmation), batterymart rep claimed that I would have to pay a $10 fee to correct this error, which I found outrageous (regardless of whose error, since it's really just a simple call to UPS to change the information).

After explaining and verifying that it was something amiss between Batterymart and Google Checkout that they used, the manager was able to "waive" the address-change fee. A bit cynical, I asked for a discount, which the manager named Anthony was nicely able to get (probably through Google) a day later by waiving my shipping charge.

Then the package finally arrived, even though it was delivered to the wrong building (again fault of UPS). The carton looked worryingly small, barely bigger than the battery. Opening it, the suspected problem unraveled: The package was padded by 1/2" of spacer at the top and two longer sides (not four), but the bottom was only padded by a single layer of thin corrugated board with a few crushed shipping foam peanuts. Two corners of the battery was thus damaged, obviously pushed in with creases in the plastic and outer box.

I called UPS to file a damage report, but also contacted BatteryMart via email. I think the damage is as much attributable to UPS as it may be to the woefully inadequate packaging. The battery had been tested to have the proper voltage and appeared functional, though I was not sure if these damages would have repercussions in the long term. I will update if I get a follow-up from the vendor (or not) on replacements or compensation.

Also notable is that the top of the battery doesn't really look like the one in the Amazon photo, which looks exactly the same as the old Deka/Westco battery. The one I received has a slightly different design, arguably looks a bit cheaper with plastic layers instead of an entire block with grooves as the hold-down bar guides; although it's a minor quibble. I also cannot verify from any of the markings that it is indeed made by East Penn (except the shared 81MU1R model number which is also shared with an Autozone wet cell miata battery among others, telling nothing of its true origins).

Nonetheless, it is an AGM as there are no watery slushing noises, or this sort of damage with the package obviously been rolled around would probably have caused a leak already. The hold down clamp in the Miata also fits perfectly over the plastic top pieces. The battery is the exact same size as the old Westco, fitting nicely into the battery tray as well, with some room left over (as Westco is a bit smaller than the original Panasonic AGMs).

I have searched various sources for the proper AGM battery, and most are either much more expensive, or have been replaced by Wet-cell types that are serviceable yet undesirable due to Miata's peculiar battery location in the trunk. It's a pity that if not for the damages, I would have declared this my new source of replacement Miata batteries.

8/20/10

Batterymart responded to my email, less than a day after I dispatched my request. A product specialist named Brad kindly offered to ship me a replacement at no cost, and noted that UPS will probably pick up the damaged package. He also instructed the shipping department to pay extra attention to packaging to avoid damages. I also received a UPS shipment notification, suggesting the package is going out today.

Initially I almost did not expect a reply, much less a positive one, due to the aggressive pricing of the battery itself and that "$10 address-change surcharge" incident. Therefore this level of painless customer service had taken me a bit by surprise. I hope this wraps up nicely, and will update once the replacement arrives.

8/24/10

The replacement battery arrived today. The package is almost 3 times as big as the original that got damaged, suggesting ample padding material. Opening it up, I had to chuckle: the battery was packed to make a point! There was at least 2" of thick corrugated boards protecting the top and bottom, and between 3" and 4" of similar padding by the four sides (see photo). I imagine even the most anal-retentive (e.g. yours truly) would be put at ease with this kind of packing. It would probably survive a drop from a UPS truck while moving!

Needless to say, the battery arrived in perfect condition and tested to be in expected working order. The customer service at Batterymart proved to be responsive and thorough, and promptly righted what could be a messy problem. It's probably a quality most valued from any online vendor, and I appreciated it.

Bought this to replace a 7 year old Mazda battery in my 96 Miata. Battery was the same size and poles are correct. The only minor issue is the Battery vents are round and smaller than the Mazda battery. I had to cut the square ends off of the vent hoses and they fit into the round holes on the Marathon replacement battery. Other than that was a quick replacement and has been working well.

Good replacemnet and cheaper than the dealer.

Buy Mazda MIATA Battery Now

According to a number of threads on Miata.net, as well as manufacturer data on other sites, the Marathon MAR-8AM-U1R battery is in fact an Absorption Glass Mat (AGM) battery, NOT a lead-acid type as stated in the description here on Amazon. This also appears to be the same unit sold elsewhere under the Deka brand name, item number 8AMU1R. In any case you can buy with confidence, this is the right battery for your Miata.

BatteryMart replacement battery (made by Marathon Batery) was easy to install and took only about 10 minutes.

I cut the original two "rubber" vent tubes at the top of the round tubing where it met the rectangular section which fitted over the rectangular battery vent (I was replacing a Jhonson Control's battery).

The new battery (Marathon) had circular vent holes so the round "rubber" tubes fit perfectly over the battery's vents.

The new battery had the same terminal orientation as the old battery so the cables fit perfectly.

So for $101.95 (including shipping) and 10 minutes installation timeI was very satified with this purchase. The local Miata dealer had quoted me almost $200.00 for replacing the battery on my Miata.

This battery is a great sub for the Gen 1 (Classic) Prius battery.

It costs less, has vents required for trunk mount and is jell cell.

Length and width are the same, height needs to be shimmed 2 inches.

I used pieces of pressure treated wood pickets for that.

The battery terminals need to be changed to standard auto terminals.

Less than 10 dollars at Auto zone.

Bell 22-1-39005-8 Triple Socket with Extension Cord

Bell 22-1-39005-8 Triple Socket with Extension CordThs is exactly what I needed. I have so many 12volt DC products I need connected at the same time and this definetly helps. I like thatI can mount it where I need to, and there is a good sized cord that comes with it. The built in LED "Power usage" indicator lights are nice, especially if you have your engine off and your woried about your batter. If it goes from green to orange, start your vehicle and you won't have to worry if your battery is going to die.

If you have a couple things you need to plug in at the same time in your car like me this thing is pretty sweet. I would have liked to see it with a little bit longer cord so it can be routed without seeing the wires,other wise it works good, I have it mounted with velcro to my dash so I can plug my radar detector my phone and my Xm at the same time.

Based on the reviews I had read, I bought this "3 cigarette lighter" outlet expander for myself.

I have to say this is one of the most practical purchases I've ever made.

It is great if you're traveling/road tripping and you and your passenger BOTH want to charge your phones simultaneously with different chargers. Or if you're both charging non-MP3 phones AND you want to use an mp3 player.

Or, in my case, if you want to charge both of your phones AND use your portable lava lamp, simultaneously. :-)

It also prevents the car's one and only 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter from getting in the way of tall travel coffee mugs in the cup holder just beneath.

This is a great value. I use it all the time now.

Bought these to use for our home delivered meals program one of our drivers kept smelling something burning looked down and the outlet was melting. He was afraid it was going to burn his car up. And there were only 2 things plugged into it. Would not recommend buying this item especially for long periods of use as our routes are only about 1-2 hours long and they were already melting.

We bought two sets of these radios for a family cruise. The reception was pretty good throughout the whole ship. The only time it was static'y was if one radio was on a lower deck at one end of the ship and the other radio was on an upper deck at the opposite end. When they are outside with few obstructions, there is no static at all. We would buy them again.

I had three motorolla radios, but two broke. I bought these over the motorolla because of the mounting loop. I used them sking, worked great (good range, sounds good), batteries lasted all day (after charging initially for 16 hours per the instructions). Having them tied off using the loop was great no worry about dropping or losing them. Super fast shipping from amazon, great deal.

Read Best Reviews of Uniden GMR2240-2CK Water Resistant 2-Way Radios (Discontinued by Manufacturer) Here

works good and very durable. but apparently battery life is bad in cold weather, which ruins why i got them (snowboarding). the meter drops to the half notch immediately even when fully charged when you hit freezing weather.

they still work though and work fine, but it becomes hit or miss. i still used them on the slopes and they lasted all day (all day on the slopes for me is just a message here and there ever half hour or so when people get split up, so no real intenstive conversations). but i have had periods where they ended up shutting off by the end of the day.

i should have known that though knowing its nimh batteries, but oh wells, so not the fault of the radio or manufacturer. sound is great, reception is great, and didn't have a problem on large mountains in high power mode.

but i guess these will become warm weather driving or hiking radios, and i will still have to pick up a set of li-ion radios for snowboarding.

-=-

Edit 1

Raising my review to 4 stars, since i used these for camping and they worked great, and realized the nimh cold battery issue wasn't the product's fault. Still a little large, and prefer smaller cobras with lithium batteries instead.

Last year while mushroom hunting I got lost. There I was deep in the deep dark woods utterly lost with my wife and nothing on me but a knife and a bag of mushrooms. Lesson learned. This year I made sure we carried the ten essentials plus these radios. However, once we arrived after a three hour drive the first time I tried to use them one of the radios was dead. As it turns out the rechargable battery was defective it would work for a few calls then die. So, does that make the whole radio and the whole Uniden company crap? It did for me at that moment that is for sure.

I bought 2 pair of this product about 6 months ago. Since I bought them, I have consistent problem with the walkie talkie with the battery dying on me. I thought that I needed to charged the product longer but that wasn't the problem. I recommend anyone not to buy this product due to its poor quality control for this product.

This car video camera is a good "entry level device", if you are just getting into video recording in your car.

Good value, what you do get, versus what you pay.

The Downside Potential: My expectations were apparently much higher than the functionality provided ih this device.

As I used it, I found myself creating a "Wish List" of Functionality, like "It would be nice if I did not have to push buttons while driving", etc. ie. (Voice Recognition commands would be nice, and probably much more expensive.) Another "Wish" which emerged, was... "How to capture in HD, tailgaters crawling up my trunk!". Some other car videos offer two lens, one facing front, and one facing rear. I am not sure how effective a rear-facing lens would work from the rear-view mirror over my dashboard. Many drivers in Russia and Japan are using these dash cam's to provide evidence in litigation involving accidents. So, this camera is better than nothing!

This is the second K5000 I've purchased from this seller. I own many inexpensive DVR's, 808's and Lighter cams made in China. The 1st K5000 has worked flawlessly for 2 months, easy to operate and the resolution is better than all the other Car DVR's under $50, so I bought another for the sedan. For under $50 and free shipping I don't expect the quality of a $200 to $500 HD handycam. I'm very satisfied with this CarCam TSSS K5000. FBA (filled by amazon) is another plus, I always look for FBA before I consider a purchase.

Optima 8040-218-FFP YellowTop Group 35 Deep Cycle Battery

Optima Batteries 8040-218 D35 YellowTop Dual Purpose BatteryThis will be a mixed review of sorts.

I bought an Optima SC35DA Yellow Top directly from Amazon in August of 2009 and it worked fine until March of 2011. The plastic around the negative battery post just split with gas and gel oozing out.

I did not think there was any problem because this Optima battery comes with a three year full replacement warranty.

Now the warranty merry go round started.

I called Amazon and I was told to call Optima, Optima told me they would not warranty the battery because Amazon is not an authorized reseller, so back to Amazon, then back to Optima and so on.

The final result is that Amazon wound up giving me a full refund of the purchase price of the battery. I would rather of had a new battery but I got tired of the BS and aggravation and then I did what others did, I went to a local discount store and bought a cheap battery.

What is the point of spending $174.00 on what is supposed to be the best battery only to have it fail very early in its life cycle and then have to argue over getting it replaced?

The Optima battery worked for less than two years. So why spend the money on one when you can buy a Wal-Mart special for less than half the price, get it replaced locally or just throw it out and buy a new one.

I do have to thank Amazon for finally giving me the refund but there was too much aggravation involved. From all of the complaints I have read about the lack of a warranty when the Optima Battery is bought from Amazon, you would think Amazon would stop selling it.

This is exactly why I gave it only one star.

I can only recommend that no one should by any Optima Battery Product from Amazon unless they are fully aware that there is no warranty at all.

Wow! I am both relieved and impressed. I just purchased two of these batteries. After reading previous horror stories about damaged/no packaging I have to admit I was hesitant. I have had other problems with Amazon.com in the past. I just couldn't resist the price here, and with free shipping it sealed the deal. I guess whoever does the shipping here got the message about poor/damaged packaging. Mine were both delivered undamaged by UPS(this is an extraordinary occasion), and to my surprise the boxes were designed like tanks. Extra thick cardboard boxes with an entire lining of corrugated cardboard reinforcement all the way around the battery. The batteries inside were in perfect condition!!! A+ job here by Amazon.com!!! BTW shipping was also lighting fast....I ordered on Sat and batteries arrived on Tues.

If I could give zero stars I would... I know its cheaper here, but this battery just died after 6 months of normal use. Amazon will not stand behind this product and will not accept returns. Optima will also not warranty from an unauthorized seller. Funny, they left that off the listing for this battery. I learned my lesson, so hopefully everyone reading this will learn theirs too without the loss of $$. Unacceptable business practice in my opinion. FAIL.

Want Optima 8040-218-FFP YellowTop Group 35 Deep Cycle Battery Discount?

I bought this because my 2004 honda pilot factory battery was on its last leg. I always have prefered optima batteries because the yellow and blue top versions Optima Batteries 8052-161 D31M BlueTop Dual Purpose Battery can be DEEP discharged without damage. In a conventional flooded acid battery after 10 dead events you are going to the parts store because you have ruined your battery. Same goes to a lesser extent with the optima red top they are strictly a starting battery.

In my case I leave accessories on 24x7 like my escort radar detector. It's to ensure that the gps data is up to date and to keep the microwave components warm so when I leave in the early morning they are on frequency and yield accurate measurements.

The yellow top is a cross between the deep cycle marine blue top and the starting red top. It has plenty of CCA's to turn over the engine the next day, plus it is not damaged by being drained. I do keep my yellow top "topped off" with a ctek charger CTEK Multi US 7002 12V Battery Charger whenever possible, but the battery holds its own even without ac charging.

Yes, Optima cells are expensive, and that is their one and only downside. Mine came with adapters to make it fit my vehicle like a factory cell. I get more years out of an optima vs. an interstate by quite a bit, so there is a value proposition as well. Just not being stranded from headlights left on is a great feature!

Schumacher SE-520MA 10/2 Fully Automatic Dual-Rate Chrager with LEDs

Schumacher SE-520MA 10/2 Fully Automatic Dual-Rate Chrager with LEDsI bought this little feller to replace an 40 amp converter that expired. I use it to maintain an auxiliary battery in my camping van; the converter was overkill.

The SE is a different shape than the converter but fit. It has been doing its thing for a couple of years with no problems as has the battery. It runs 24/7 except when we are driving. In campsite, it is across the battery that the TV uses and I get no noise from it; the converter gave me a low hum.

Should have bought it the first time.

As soon as we received the charger we found the battery of our CRV dead because we had accidently turned on the cargo light while unloading stuff. It was wonderful to see our battery being recharged and so quickly. Just love Amazon for offering quality merchandise with fast shipping at prices far below the local discount automotive places!

The build quality is very poor. Can you imagine the nice-looking front panel is actually a piece of PAPER loosely (you can lift it up and see the back) attached to a metal plate, which is also loosely attached to the rest of the box? Worst, the one I got did not charge, and with a multimeter I found the output voltage is only 8.7 volt. I sent it back immediately.

I purchased it because of the previous two five star reviews, so I don't want other people to fall into the same trap. You have been warned.

I use this for charging my RV batteries when running my generator. I have had poor results using the built-in battery charger for my older model RV. From research it appears the older charging units do not charge the batteries adequately unless charged for a very long time if ever. I have my RV permanently 'way out there' and needed a quicker charger when running my generator. I have had to replace batteries prematurely as a result. I installed this charger by plugging into a receptacle in the RV and semi-permanently hooked it to my batteries and disconnected the old charger. Whenever I start the gererator I get a 10 amp rapid charge and an automatic charge reduction as the battery approaches full charge. My battery does not overcharge and boil off battery fluid because of the automatic feature. I have been very pleased by how quickly the batteries are charged compared to the built-in charger. Three stars because the wires on the charger get very warm with the 10 amp charge and there is no 'on' or 'off' switch, which I dislike as the unit must be unplugged while charging unless the generator is shut down. I can switch to and use the 2 amp feature and quickly disconnect the charger for use on ATV's, motorcycles, trickle charging, etc. I recently started using solar panels and only need to use the 2 amp charging rate and generator to keep the batteries at full charge after excessive use of electricity.

12 Volt Magnetic Towing Light Kit

12 Volt Magnetic Towing Light KitThe 12 Volt Magnetic Tow Lights are great and I love them. The magnets are very strong, and the wiring harness is good.

I wish that they had labeled the lights Left and Right for easy setup.

They did not so I labeled them myself with a white paint marker.

I would have given them 5 stars if they were labeled Left and Right for easy setup.

This lasted a quarter mile on the car being towed before they fell off and broke into a million pieces along the road. They barely made it out of the driveway. Better magnets would be great, these ones barely hold together when you put them magnet to magnet.

1 light was lit solid, the other light was very dim. I couldn't see a way to remove the lenses to do troubleshooting without

breaking the lenses. The magnets were very weak and wouldn't stay in place without strapping them down. I used these lights

one time to tow a log splitter 15 miles and when i got home I removed the magnets cut off the wire and threw the lights in the trash.

Lights work great, long leads to get to back of Jeep. I did zip tie lights to vehicle to prevent lights from falling off. Overall great product for an affordable price.
