Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch

• Built-in dock connector to charge your iPhone and flip-out USB tip to recharge without the mess of extra cables
• Extends play time up to 23 hours music, up to 7 hours of video and up to 5 hours of talk time
• LED battery gauge displays remaining battery pack power level
• Perfect for long flights and small travel bags
• 1A power for fast charging of your iPhone, including iPhone 4

Bought this gadget to take to WDW in Orlando, as it's very difficult to find places to charge an iPhone there. I charged the battery pack the night before we hit park #1 and when my iPhone got below 50%, I charged it...took about 30 minutes. Was able to recharge the iPhone several times like this on one "full-charge" of the battery pack. Had to recharge the battery pack after 3 or 4 days. I highly recommend this product if you are not going to be near electricity OR if you're taking and emailing/texting lots of photos which eat up some of the battery time.

I bought this for my business partner as he uses his iPhone 4 quite a bit and he cannot stop raving about how good it is. The shape of this device makes it really easy to use as a holder for watching a video while supplying battery power at the same time. A definite recommend!

Update: I notice that a similar version of this gets knocked for not working with the iPhone 4. This model does and would be the one you should buy if you have an iPhone 4.

This charger worked great on my most recent trip away from home. Though my iPod Touch battery life is quite good I still needed a battery backup and this Kensington K39264US Travel Battery Pack and Charger for iPhone and iPod touch unit worked like a charm. As advertised, when my iPod battery ran low I just plugged in the charger and continued listening to my music until my flight was over.

The unit arrived nearly fully charged and I topped it off by plugging it directly into a USB port on my computer using the built-in USB adapter. No extra cables! When I needed to use the unit to charge my iPod I just flipped up the top -which also acts as a stand -and connected it directly to the port. My iPod beeped and displayed it was being charged.

A day or so later I recharged my player again and still the charger was not exhausted. Quite impressive. Little blue status lights along the side indicate the power reserve in the pack so I knew when it was going to need another re-charge. Even after two charges I was only about half empty on the charger and probably could have used it for a 3rd charge before being completely exhausted.

I haven't tried any other charger but I am very pleased with the built-in USB plug and the attached flip-up cover/stand. There's no need to look for a replacement.

Good job, Kensington!

I was really looking for one or two of their ultra portable battery packs that they made in the past which was a great product!!

I had to settle for this. It is OK. When you get to below 20% on your phone this product does not charge your phone completely back up to to 100%, maybe 80 to 90% if you are lucky. (The old product did)

The compactness is Fine except you are trading width for thickness. So it will depend on how you are carrying it. It does charge the phone back to that 80% within I believe it was an hour or two.

The old did it in 1 hour. It is more contained then the the old (it had to be tethered by a cable) but I did not mind the inconvenience for an hour. Price about the same.

Both could charge via computer or AC. I would say if you can find the old one new I would snatch it up. This one I am reviewing is something you just have to settle for because nothing else on the market

is as efficient or reliable as the Kensington!

CTEK Multi US 7002 12V Battery Charger

I bought my Ctek 7002 In Jan of 2011.

It died last week. I called Crutchfield where I got it, It is no longer carried there.

They did give me the 800 number for Ctek. I called and explained it was not showing anything. No Lights at all.

I was given an address and asked to send it back, No RMA or anything. I was not expecting much back, maybe an answer and a cost to repair. I came home today and UPS was dropping off a box. I Did not order any thing.

To my surprise it was a brand new Ctek 7002 with all cables in new box.

I had expected a call with a price not a new unit.

Customer service is AAA+ quick to get back to me.

I think It was a total of 7 days since I shipped it to them

I will recommend a CETK EVERYTIME from now one

Thanks CTEK

CTEK Multi US 7002 12V Battery Charger

I've always owned the typical 15lb car charger. This is quite a step up in technology smaller and lighter than a quart of milk, and comes with a nice enough carrying pouch for the charger and any accessories you might add. I also bought the cigarette lighter attachment, so I don't even have to open the car's hood/trunk and remove the battery terminal cover to charge the car. This is a good choice to keep an infrequently-driven weekend car (or boat) topped off. I feel much more comfortable keeping one of these connected for battery maintenance than the old-style dumber chargers.

It's not as suitable as one of those old-style boxes for blasting a quick 50amp charge into a completely dead battery to get the car started the charge rate is an approximately steady 7 amps until the battery is charged. The old style chargers may begin at 10, 20, or even 50 amps, then taper off rapidly below that as the battery begins to take a charge.

One thing about most lead-acid car batteries you really don't want to let them get completely dead, or they permanently lose some of their ability to take and deliver a charge.

Buy CTEK Multi US 7002 12V Battery Charger Now

I bought this charger mainly for the Desulphation, Reconditioning and the Supply modes. One thing I hate to do, when I have to change batteries, is having to reset all my radio stations, and run my vehicle around to get the OBD computer to cycle through all the emissions stuff so it runs right. With the "Supply" mode I don't have to do that anymore because it supplies power until I swap the batteries. But also I like the fact that you can't reverse the polarity and damage the battery and its anti-spark technology. It's simple to use and understand without using the manual to figure out what the different lights mean like some others. This charger tells you exactly what mode and what part of the cycle it's in, and if there is an error with the hook up or battery it shows that as well.

I used this on a friends battery he was going to recycle due to it being dead. He tried charging it on his battery charger but it wouldn't take a charge. I put the CTEK 7002 charger on it and it charged it right up. I used the Reconditioning mode on it, and now my friends charger shows the battery as good and will apply a charge to it. I know some other chargers claim they can do this as well, but I can only speak to this charger and what it did. I highly recommend it, although it seems a little pricy, it's well worth it.

On a side note, I thought I had an issue with this charger and sent an email to CTEK on Sunday evening. Monday morning I had a response from Matt, the Regional Sales Manager, and he assured me it was working correctly; my hats off to Matt and CTEK for the fast and courteous response and the outstanding product.

I purchased this charger for the purpose of charging an Optima blue top series dual purpose AGM battery. The unit is fantastic! I ended up using it to charge a whole slew of other batteries as well, including a standard lead acid deep cycle battery and a smaller battery for a jet ski.

As promised the unit when first turned on does an "analysis" of your battery to determine exactly what is needed. If needed it will go into a reconditioning phase before charging begins. From there everything is automatically controlled supplying just the right amount of current and charge to the battery to charge, maintain, and condition the battery. I have been the victim in the past with other chargers that apply too much charge and "fry" or litterally cook a battery to the point where it is rendered useless. This unit prevents any of that.

Bottom line...love it. Highly recommend it for todays technically advanced batteries. And it's super lightweight and compact.

This charger remains in my old 85 T-bird to keep the battery topped off. This car is not driven very frequently so the battery goes dead. I have another charger, but it is old technology and can not remain connected for long periods of time. The CTEK stays connected always. In fact, I have it tied down with cable ties in the engine compartment.

The charger maintains the battery at peak level, and will not overcharge the battery. The reverse polarity protection also works quite well. I hooked it up at night and misread my positive and negative terminals. No harm to my battery or the charger after having it connected overnight. Fixed the hookup and charged up the battery inside of a day.

The cables provided allow you to use either alligator clamps or bolt on the eyelets onto the battery post clamps as I have mine. This works great! I highly recommend this charger.

These are probably the least expensive charging kit for the iPhone 4, and you get what you pay for. The wall charger works fine for the iPhone (less well for the iPad), but the car charger is terribly slow. Don't expect to recharge your phone in the car, even over the course of an hour commute. If you're playing a podcast at the same time and keep your 3G data on, it'll probably just maintain your battery at whatever charge it came in with. Better than your phone dying on the road, I guess.

It's almost indistinguishable from the originals that came with the phone. Excellent quality and I couldn't be happier with it.

I ordered this product and only 2 of the 3 came in the mail. Then I called and the man was really friendly and sent me my extra piece. A week later the part that plugs into your phone detached from the cord!!! Horrible product. I guess you get what you pay for... and I think I paid $5 or so and I had it for 3 weeks..

Kinetik HC1400R - 1400 Watt 12 Volt Power Cell Reverse Terminal Battery, Pack of 1

Im using this battery as a starting battery and a battery for my sound system.

At the moment im only running about 500 watts RMS and it doesn't skip a beat.

I'm soon going to be running about 1000 RMS and will probably revise my review then.

Either way, I was very concerned about if it would fit under the hood, luckily for me it did and I have a 2002 Hyundai accent.

So as the product description states it will fit in Honda civics Hyundai accents and other sub-compact cars. Still take very careful measurements.

Kinetiks customer support is also very helpful, if you ever have any questions you can call and you get connected directly to a real human being.

Right now it's also dealing well with extreme weather conditions, 20 degrees and lower, and still doing well.

Sits at 13+ volts on average.

Basically I'm never going back to traditional lead acid batteries, they leak, they lose their charge, they don't output as many volts, they can't deep discharge and recharge slower.

AGM's are twice the price roughly but if you have electronics in your car, well worth it and kinetik batteries are excellent and put out a lot of cranking amps and amp hours for their size.

JVC KSPD100 Adapter for iPod Interface

• Information Display with the Same Categories and Layers as Ipod
• Allows Head Unit to Control Connected Ipod
• Battery Recharge for Connected Ipod
• Space-Saving Hideaway Unit
• Compatibility with charging function depends on iPod model.

I bought this for use with my Ipod Touch and it doesn't recognize the ipod at all it is useless for me......

Buy JVC KSPD100 Adapter for iPod Interface Now

I bought two of these for my, and my wifes car as we both have the JVC-KDHR1 head unit. It worked fine for my wife, who has an older iPod. Though navigating the menus via the head unit can be complicated and confusing until you get used to it.

This unit did not work for me however. I have the same head unit, but use an iPod Touch. When connected the head continuously displays "CHECKING" and the iTouch displays "External Device Connected" whenever video or music is selected. No audio can be played or heard when the unit is connected. The problem seems to be that the iTouch is "aware" that an external controller is connected, but the JVC head unit is incapable "talking" to the iTouch. Apparently the external control interface, or command protocol, for the iTouch is different than previous iPods. Either JVC must implement this interface in their newer head units, or the iTouch needs to have a software mode that emulates an older iPod.

I would be happy, even happier, if I could simply connect the iTouch via the control cable and have it 1) charge the iTouch, and 2) provide audio to the head unit. I don't need to control the iTouch via the head unit. This way it would function just like any iPod speaker/amplifier docking station. I feel certain there should be some hack or way of "fooling" the head unit into simply accepting the iTouch audio and provide charging voltage, but I haven't yet discovered one.

In the interim I purchased another JVC connector cable that simply converts the same head unit input to a line level RCA stereo connection. I connect to that cable with, yet another, adapter cable that converts dual RCA (male) to 1/8" stereo (male) for the iTouch headphone jack. I also purchased a combination cigarette lighter holder-mount/charger/FM transmitter for the iTouch ridiculously cheap on eBay. I tried the FM transmitter and found the resulting audio extremely weak. So now I keep the iTouch mounted and connected to the holder for charging, and also connected to the head unit via the 1/8" headphone output. It's a complicated arrangement that also results in ignition noise, probably due to the multitple grounding paths provide by both cables. Still it's better than just the FM transmitter until a better solution becomes available.

This product does what JVC's web site claims it does, and was relatively easy to install.

Want JVC KSPD100 Adapter for iPod Interface Discount?

I bought the adapter to go with the JVC car stereo with HD radio. I felt the IPod adapter would be superior to the generic adapter because you can charge your IPod while you drive. The thing I didn't count on is that you give up all ability to control the IPod, except through the stereo unit.

Now, everyone knows that Apple is renowned for its user interface. Well, forget about using the click wheel, looking at lists of songs, etc. You are forced to navigate through the contents of your IPod using a one-line monochromatic display. Frankly, this sucks. There should be an option as to where you can control your IPod. I am returning the IPod adapter and going with the generic headphone jack.

Don't make the same mistake I did.

This adapter was just what I was looking for. I have had my JVC car stereo for a couple years, but I wanted a more convenient method of storing and playing my music, so I got an iPod and this adaptor. It was easy to install and I did not find it difficult to learn to navigate the menus on the JVC front panel. I did have one major disappointment which is the reason for the 3 star rating. Although the product manual states that the iPod will charge whenever the stereo is on, when I plugged in my gen4 Nano, the screen on the iPod displayed a message that this adaptor did not support charging. So my listening time in the car is limited to the internal battery life of the iPod.

eForCity Universal USB Car Charger Single Port

Two problems keep me from rating this very inexpensive car USB charger higher:

1. The charger that I received doesn't appear to be the same charger pictured on the product description. (eg., completely different molded body, glass tube fuse instead of plastic-encased fuse.)

2. It won't charge my iPhone properly. After some testing with a multimeter, it seems the output is close to 6 VDC, despite being labeled as 5 VDC +/5%, which would be a max. voltage of 5.25 VDC.

Overall, it's not worthless. Other less sensitive USB-powered products may be able to be charged by this.

I bought two of these, both fell apart (literally) within several weeks of infrequent use. Even when they worked, they never worked reliably and required connstant twisting and turning and pushing to get a connection. The whole thing looked like they were put together by a child (no, I'm just talking figuratively and not implying what you think I'm implying about Chinese labor, which is a whole different issue). A gentle squeeze, the thing goes squeaky and shaky. Unlike most other car adapters, this one doesn't have a snugly fit into the cigarette lighter. It is just so wobbly everywhere. Avoid such low quality products to keep your life sane.

An update: I subsequently purchased a few Universal Mini USB Car Charger Adapters offered by Eforcity (search Amazon or eBay). What a difference. The Universal Mini USB Car Charger Adapters is exactly what this product should be made alike. Solid, compact, and reliable. Both are inexpensive Chinese made products, but one is total junk and other a gem.

Pro:

-Works well with many devices

-Snugly fits in the cigarette lighter

-Light tells you if you have power

-GREAT PRICE!!!

-Although slightly bulky, it's great that it has no cord of it's own. When traveling I would be bringing my spare 3715WW Tungsten 5 cable (see my other review) anyway, so there's less tangly mess to deal with

Con:

-Slightly bulky... for it's size I think that it could have 2 connections so that 2 devices could be powered/recharged at one time

Bottom line: Highly recommended.

Pros: Inexpensive and eforcity is quick to ship. Fuse, easy to disassemble(easy to modify to work with new iPhone 3G/Samsung Moment/Rant). Works to charge a lot of USB connected devices(Phones,PDA,older iPods,Bluetooth wireless adapters, etc...).

Cons: Not compatible with all Phones or newer iPods. BUT there is a solution that requires soldering and two 100k Radio$hack resistors.

Overall impression: Good deal, decent build quality, easy to take apart to "fix/modify it" to get it working with newer iPods/iphones/cell phones.

12 Volt Extension Cord - 10'

This is an ideal item to have. Two months ago, I was on my way to start my new job, and suddenly I find that I had a flat tire. So I put my 12 volt air pump to it, then about half way full, the damn fuse blew out, (Oh great, now's a good f*&%#@$ time to do this). Luckily it was enough to make it to work. Now that I have this, I know there's no chance of a fuse blowing out. The cord is long enough to reach all four wheels on my car. So if this s#$% ever happens to you, you damn well better have a plan B.

husband uses them in with the tractors outside in all types of weather. Durable. He works better with music and these plug into everything he uses

The hook-up to the gps is a micro usb. When connected to my 5310, it recognizes it as being connected to a computer, which locks the screen. The gps isnt usable when connected. Not only this but the wall charger keeps getting caught in the socket, and makes some sparks when being plugged. It also makes an annoying humming noise, Im not sure if its electricity, or a fan in the charger itself but its very troubling. Even though it was cheap, and I took a gamble on buying it, I would like the things I purchase that say they work with my gps, to actually work with it.

I spent $25 on a universal GPS car charger at Radioshack a year ago, and it gave me nothing but problems in that time. So far, this charger worked right off the bat and aside from the cord being a little short, it is great.

I still love my Rio Karma but with its battery life starting to wane and a long trip coming I needed a car charger to make up the difference. This product is 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter with a universal end and an adapter that matches it to the Rio's DC power inlet.

It may be that my Rio is old and worn, but as delivered the plug would not maintain contact enough to charge or power the Rio without physically holding it in place. Since the provided plug did not appear to be as long as the one on my original AC adapter I went to work with a dremel tool and ground down the plastic casing on the plug to expose about another eighth inch of conductor on the plug. Now it fits perfectly and charges with no problem.

Goldsource STU-1000 Step Up/Down Voltage Transformer Converter - AC 110/220 V - 1000 Watt

The voltage transformer is heavy, sturdy and reliable. I am in Switzerland now, and I bought these for barrage of devices brought from the U.S; I plugged in a humidifier, a blender, Vonage phone, laptop, shaver (all at once), and so far no issues whatsoever.

The only catch is the wall converter from US to Euro (so that you can plug the thing into the wall jack) It is too wide for Switzerland (would work in e.g. Germany). So I had to spend a couple of euros for a converter in a local store. Other than that, no issues in the first 45 days....

Got this so I could hook up my 110v 52" LCD HDTV and LG blu-ray player here in Europe. I plugged in a power strip to the 110v outlet, and it powers both items without a hitch. Also extremely quiet. If the entire house is silent you can hear the slightest low hum but as soon as the tv comes on then it's undetectable. Very happy with this purchase and may buy another.

2.5-inch HD Car LED IR Vehicle DVR Road Dash Video Camera Recorder Traffic Dashboard Camcorder - LC

• 2.5 inch TFT LCD: 270° whirl, Recording resolution:1280x960 / 720x480 / 640x480 pixels
• 120 deg View Angle Day Night Video Camera with 6 IR Leds
• Microphone: can record sound
• Interface: USB2.0
• Support SD/MMC Card: up to 32GB (not included)

For less than $25.00 it does a nice job. I don't need a camera that costs so much that I fear that it will be stolen or broken. Has a semi wide fish-eye lens. I'm not looking for wedding photo quality, come on its only 25 bucks. Comes with car charger and suction cup mount, not mentioned in the description. Also comes with a cellphone type rechargeable battery. Plugged into the charger, I get over 9 hours of video (with audio) on a 16GB card. VGA quality is 640x480, so stay with that mode, because the other larger sizes that it records (D1, and SVGA) are actually not different at all. The SVGA 1280x720 is the same as the VGA and D1 680x480, but with thick black edges on the sides, video is not sharper. You may want to buy a different smaller sized window mount that has a "ball hinge". The mount that comes with it is somewhat large, but still fine to use. The charger wire is long enough to tuck under window trim and dashboard trim and reach the car's power socket. Not too bad at night time, so see the attached video sample that I made. The camera comes with infrared lights, but I see no use for them unless you are video recording your hood ornament, or if you use this device as a home security monitor inside of your house. Not a bad idea, just buy one of those 120volt wall adapters to plug your charger into, then attach the camera to a window or wall. If you are not sure you need a DashCam, but still want to give it a try before you go all out and buy a 200 dollar HD broadcast quality one, then this one is just for you. I like the home security idea myself.

This cam far and above does what I need.I already have saved vids of 2 more close calls,just in case.Go to youtube and look me up unitruth ,the vid is "cut off by window tinting car 40 mph evansville IN." see for yourself.The audio is crappy on the cam but once plugged in or memory card inserted in laptop you can hear the audio great!

Excellent place to start with a dashboard (or maybe home security) video camera and DVR. Cheap and reasonably good. Just to be clear, the 270 degrees refers to turning the camera around by hand in the mount; the field of view is 120 degrees. The instructions were so bad that I have regenerated them below.

UPDATE: In response to readers, I'm using the default settings, And am getting about 80 1-minute videos with audio, about 50MB each and they are automatically overwriting the oldest on a 4GB chip. I have not yet filled a 32GB chip (24 hrs)!

Want 2.5-inch HD Car LED IR Vehicle DVR Road Dash Video Camera Recorder Traffic Dashboard Camcorder - LC Discount?

For starters you're going to need one of these: Transcend 16 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card TS16GSDHC10E You can get the 32 GB size as well but I know the 16 GB one works.

I uploaded a somewhat lengthy video from the unit with a fairly detailed review. Please note I had to shrink the file so it would fit under amazon's 100MB limit. The actual file is almost 500MB for 5 minutes and is 640x480. But what I uploaded should give a decent idea of the video quality. For this item please remember price matters. It is a cheap piece of hardware and it shows. I mention in my video review that I could not even use the power adaptor that came with the DVR because it caused interference on my FM radio. I had to use the adaptor that I had from my Garmin Nuvi 350. But, that worked so I'm less irritated than i would otherwise be.

Despite the problems I gave it 5 stars because of how cheap it is. Frankly I wish they'd double the price and up the build quality. But if you just want to play with something like this I think this is a good way to start.

If you're looking for an inexpensive camera that works good, try this out. I haven't had one problem with this working incorrectly.

Issues I have with it (but for the price, is just fine...):

Picture isn't the greatest. It isn't real clear. If you're using this to read road signs or license plates, forget it. If you're using it to show that there are in fact other cars or large objects, it is just fine.

I've noticed that switching into the 720p mode, it does jump a little bit. It isn't bad though, just slightly noticeable.

The infrared for nighttime use isn't the greatest either. It shows picture great to the front of the hood and then it loses all IR because of the headlights.

It does feel a little cheap, but again, for the price, not bad.

I have used this for a couple of weeks now. If you'd like to watch a few videos of me responding to calls (I'm a volunteer firefighter), go here:

The oldest videos with me responding, are w/out 720p and the newer ones have 720p. I don't notice a huge difference, just the slight jumping of the picture...

Overall, not a bad product for the price.

Powerline By Original Power 0900-73 200/400-Watt Slim Line Inverter with USB Charging Port

This is a decent power inverter, at best. I do not recommend this for continuous use for longer than 2 or 3 hours.

I purchased my first one at Wal-Mart, which subsequently died on me after about 10 hours of continuous use. It kept blowing a fuse, with OR without having anything drawing current, other than the unit itself. I disassembled it and found the internal fuse to be in working condition. I came to the conclusion that the voltage regulators were at fault, and drew over 30 amps of current, since I tried a 30amp fuse and it popped immediately.

I exchanged it for a second one at Wal-Mart, and used it on another road trip yesterday; this one no longer functions. I didn't bother disassembling this one because I've decided that this brand and/or country of assembly/manufacturing (made in china, of course) is not worth my while.

The cooling fan on both units was finicky. They would buzz after long use and often required multiple power cycles (unplugging and plugging back in) to get it to spin up again.

My usage was with a Dell Inspiron 6000 1.6ghz Pentium-M (SpeedStep enabled, running at 800mhz) with a 4200rpm drive, and cpu usage was between 0-10% at most. There was little the power inverter was required to do; the Dell AC power cord I use is rated at 65watt max current, and my computer, as you see noted above, was operating at 0-10 percent @ 800mhz. This is unacceptable performance from the PowerLine inverter.

My first inverter failure was at 10 hours, and my second at 7 hours. The second one, again, either has cheaply made voltage regulators or has blown a fuse internally; I won't waste my time taking this one apart to see if it's the internal fuse or regulators that have gone bad.

Each inverter failed in different cars, so it's not likely that a dirty or unstable DC power supply is to blame. I blame the over-sensitivity of the cheap components used in manufacturing. I've had cheaply-made power supplies in computers last longer than this, and I learned my lesson with those quickly--now I've learned my lesson with DC-to-AC power inverters, especially those of the PowerLine brand.

If your use is infrequent, and for less than 2 hours at a time, this might do the job you need. The internal capacitors are not a durable brand, either--there are no identifying markings on them at all. My draw of less than 65 AC watts causes the fan to operate improperly and then render the device useless--this is my second and last purchase of a PowerLine inverter product.

My experience is similar to Jonathans. This unit is a piece of junk. I had a similarly rated inverter for several years (I have forgotten the make and model) and it worked perfectly until it was stolen from my car. The FIRST TIME I used this one, with a Dell laptop power supply (rated 90 watts continuous) connected, after about 4 hours use, it began screaming at me with its built in audible alarm. It screams whenever it is turned on, with or without anything plugged in, load or no load. Maybe I will tear it apart for the alarm. THAT seems to work just fine!

I keep reading all these reviews and they all have the same problems I have had with the PowerLine Inverter: screaming alarm, flashing light, and basically just not working anymore after small usage.

So heed the warnings...

Don't buy this product if you want something durable!

Try another brand.

I have had this unit (the 0900-73 200W) for about 3 months. I bought it after my Radio Shack inverter died after about 5 years of use powering an XBox and TV in our van for many, many 5+hour trips (and it was only rated at 140W). So, I picked this one up (since it was cheap...) and it worked on our first trip just fine, and now just blows the fuse in any vehicle when I plug anything into it. The power output is intermittent. I have a light on my Dell laptop powercord that lights up when it has power. Thatlight does not come on reliably when using this inverter, indicating the the Powerline is not outputting power. When the light does eventually come on, the fuse in my car blows immediately. I am reluctant to plug it back in, and am going to go with a different brand (likely back to radio shack). Also, the internal beeper keeps going off with or without anything plugged into it, and regardless of whether it is actually outputting any power.

I purchased one of these for my wife to use on a plane. It worked fine that day but now has blown the fuse on two of my cars. My other Inverter from another company still works fine after about 10 years of use. This unit is JUNK!

P3 Platinum Negative (-) Battery Terminal Tri-Oval

• Terminal type: Negative
• Style: Tri-Oval
• Finish: Simulated Platinum
• Outputs: 1 x 4 AWG, 1 x 8 AWG, and bolt for ring terminal

The hole in not cut into a cone as the posts on most batteries are shaped. The hole is a perfect cylinder. This means when you slip this terminal onto the post, only the bottom edge of the terminal makes contact with the battery post. Not only will there be less surface area for current to flow through, but there exists the possibility the terminal will slide off the battery post. When I tightened the screw, I was able to twist off the terminal. The positive terminal fits better, so I may have just received a lemon.

These are nice compression-fit battery lugs. They look and perform well on cleaning up poor connection problems that can cause numerous "intermittent" electrical problems.
