2006 06 Nissan Altima Keyless Entry Remote - 4 Button

I received this remote earlier than expected. It was a replacement for my original that got broken and kept falling apart. The instructions for programming this remote were very easy to follow and only took a few minutes before the new remote was programmed and working with my car. A dealership would have charged 2-4 times as much or more for this replacement FOB. I am very pleased with this product thus far.

My wife (who I love very dearly) washed and dried her keyless remote, it was toast. Purchase two new keyless (backups are good), programed then both myself, it took like 10 minutes easy as pie (no bull).

Black & Decker CP120B 20-Watt Power Backup Battery Pack

Ok, I give it 5 stars although out of four I bought, two would not charge properly, but at 3.99 it was worth the extra effort to get them going. Here is the problem with some of these, the batteries have been sitting a while, so after you charge it for a few minutes, some of these may show they are charged, even though they are not. The batteries need to be cycled in these and all of mine have come back to life. Here is what you can do to help bring them back...

1) Charge unit until LED goes green (with a battery that needs to be cycled, it may show its charged after a few minutes. With battery that is in good shape and being dead, it should take around 4 hours to charge)

2) Unplug charger and turn on unit. It may go dead after a few minutes, thats OK. After it shuts itself off, wait 10 minutes.

Repeat the steps above and it should come back to life. The most I repeated the above steps were 4 times before it accepted a full charge, and all mine work now. Hope this helps someone if theirs does not take a proper charge...

Two weeks ago I purchased this Black and Decker product from my local CVS store in California. Brand-new, out of the package it wouldn't work. I felt reassured that at least it had a two year warranty, and was a "name brand" of Black and Decker. I was shocked when I phoned the Black and Decker service center in Texas, the 800-544-6986 that was included with the warranty info, ...and they told me that since the item had been manufactured three years earlier (there was a 2007 date-sticker on product), and since this product had been discontinued by Black and Decker, they could not honor the warranty for repair or replacement.

I informed the Black and Decker service-center manager [Anita] that it was not legal for Black and Decker to claim "no responsibility" for their warranty, and they couldn't refuse to honor their warranty just because they discontinued the item, (particularly because I had just purchased it two weeks prior, & had my receipt). She then gave me a local Black and Decker service-center phone number in California, where the representative ("Dave") informed me that because the item was discontinued by Black and Decker, "I was out of luck", and there was nothing they could do. It was just suggested I return the item to the store.

Beware consumers! Black and Decker is setting new precedents in skirting their legal responsibilities regarding honoring their product-warranties. It seems that since the volume of complaints are so high regarding Black and Decker products, not much attention is being paid to this negligence on Black and Decker's part, (and who has the time and money to bring a "breach of warranty" case to court, for a $50. item?)

After this experience I will never again have confidence in the Black and Decker name, and I urge you to consider researching consumer-complaints about this company's customer-service, before purchasing Black and Decker products.

I, too, think this battery pack works GREAT! I tried it for my Blackberry (I let it run down as low as it would go without it shutting off) and it charged my Blackberry enough for a whole day's use, and then some. A week went by without my charging up the B&D Pocket Power before I used it again, this time on my iPod. It was still able to charge my 80GB iPod. I use my iPod for music AND videos and, with the charge from Pocket Power, I even had enough battery power to watch my videos, which is energy-intensive. I have even tried charging my Canon EOS camera battery and it extended my use of the camera. I am buying another one for my trips to Europe -not every hotel room there is equipped with as many outlets as we enjoy here and a travelling family can only stay up so long in the evenings vying for outlets to charge their electronics. It's not that heavy or bulky to take. However, despite all my accolades, remember that the sole function of this is as a BACK-UP (note the emphasis on back-up!); you should keep it fully charged when you have the opportunity to (because it does take many hours to charge) for those times in a pinch when you need it to charge something else that you forgot or didn't have the opportunity to. Hey, life's a juggling act -it would be remiss of me to say that a little 5x3x1 box will end all our electronics charging woes!

Custom Automotive Kill Switch Kit

My wife's car keys were taken at the gym. To prevent the thief from coming back later for the car I installed this. I'm 63, average fix-it skills and was able to run the wires from the fuse box under the hood to where I put the switch near the driver seat with some effort. The wires went into the fuse box on our 2009 Corolla by following the existing wire bundle with no mod to the fuse box cover.To connect to the fuse panel the switch came with 2 crimp type fork connectors with one fork cut off. I changed those to crimp type flag connectors and 2 brass tap connectors (Wirthco Tap-a-Circuit #30102) It made a more solid connection and the switch works perfectly.

This product is ok. It doesn't connect into the fuse compartment right in keeping the fuse door closed. I disconnected it because it kept killing my truck when I didn't want it to.

Pyle PLMRMP1A 2-Channel Waterproof MP3/iPod Marine Power Amplifier

• Marine amplifier delivers 2 x 100 Watts RMS at 4 Ohms, 2 x 200 Watts Max at 4 Ohms, 2 x 300 Watts RMS at 2 Ohms
• Power protection circuitry with anti-thump turn-on and soft turn-off to protect your speakers
• Accepts RCA line inputs and includes a 3.5mm-to-RCA adaptor so you can plug in your MP3 player or iPod easily
• Also accepts standard high- and low-level inputs from marine head units
• Includes wired remote control for adjusting volume gain

The wiring and accessories looked nice and convenient, but the amp did not push anywhere near the rated 100 watts. In reality this amp is good for about 25 watts total (12.5 watts x 2).

If you want low end or volume look elsewhere.

Very small (think deck of cards) and easy to install. Wish it had more power, but it works.

I paired it with the Dual $30 speakers below. Sounds fine. The amp doesn't push the speakers beyond their limit at all (I hooked them up to my home stereo and they went much louder) so I couldn't see buying any larger speakers for this amp. I put it in my boat, and it is plenty loud enough without the engine running, but I can barely hear it over the engine when running.

I installed this AMP in my golf cart and it works great. I purchased the one with the 6.5" speakers. The sound is good for the price. You dont get a lot of base and its not going make you go def but does sound good at normal\high volumes. My cart is open air and we have no problem hearing it at full speed or even if just hanging out near the cart. Very easy to hook up and wired volume control is a great addition. Believe they make a 4 channel if hooking up 4 speakers. If you are looking to THUMP or BLARE this is prob not the best for you but does get loud.

New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect Switch

This switch is way more heavy duty than I expected...in a good way. The price is really good for the quality as well. I received my switch on time, with clear instructions and a hand written note of enthusiasm welcoming inquiry calls, install questions and an invitation to upload pics of the install. Just be aware that all you get is the switch. You will most likely need to also purchase X-amount of battery cable and terminals to suit your application. I mounted my switch to a Taylor Cable Battery Box located in the bed of my Tacoma in conjunction with some Pico screw down terminal ends and an Optima battery. I would recommend having your mechanic or someone qualified set this up for you just because you will wind up spending a fortune on the correct tools and parts if you try and buy them all yourself. This is an easy install, but the bits and pieces get expensive. This is great for me because I do a lot of electrical work on the truck myself and this way I don't have to disconnect the battery every time I need to do something. Also useful when not driving for an extended period of time. Accessories drain the battery in about 4 days so this is pretty handy. Glad to have it in the case of an emergency, too. The one time I could have really used this in an emergency, I was lucky to have a buddy with a wood handled shovel.

I got this switch to use as a disconnect on my trailer camper. We use the camper only a few times a year making it a PITA to take the battery out and put it back in every time. I installed this 2 years ago and it is working like a champ! I have purchased cheaper models for use on my jeep for safety and they couldn't handle the abuse. This unit is very well built.

Driving my truck once a week does not help maintain the proper battery charge. I looked at solar trickle chargers but they are too expensive. This item is inexpensive and easy to install. The only thing I did different is install it onto the negative side instead of the positive that was instructed to.

Remember that this will turn off all electronics especially the alarm. A bit of an inconvenience but worth it. I'm tired of bringing in my battery to be charged.

Thanks!

I would highly recommend this product. Installed it on my RV. It worked perfect for my application. A very heavy duty switch.

Want New Battery Kill Safety Shut Off Disconnect Switch Discount?

I bought this because my car's electrical components are failing one after another. This wasn't an issue until they started draining my battery while it was sitting. My car is a '97 Oldsmobile Aurora. This is important because the Cranking Amps are 1,000, the peak amps for this device. It has come through with flying colors. I installed it in a day with some heavy-gauge wire and lugs I found here on Amazon. It is pretty stiff which means you know when you turn it on, and it is very unlikely that you will be able to accidentally turn it off.

The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the terminals are on the same plane and relatively close together. This would be an issue if the bolts loosen up and the lugs turn. It is possible that they could turn, touch each other, causing a short circuit. This should not be an issue if you simply wrap the lugs in some type of insulating material. Though I wish the terminals were not on the same plane, can't have everything.

I would recommend this for anyone who is having major electrical problems, or for whatever reason you would want a kill switch. Just remember to insulate the lugs. It has saved me hundreds of dollars in electrical work for a car that is on its last leg, just prolonging the inevitable.

WARN 26502 M8000 8000-lb Winch

I've been off-roading for more than four decades. Bikes, buggies and now, a 4x4. Never really thought I needed a winch until I got the 4X4, but since my Trooper weighs in at around 4,500 pounds, I knew there was no way I could get out of a "sticky" situation without a winch. I run in sand at Hatteras, hills and woods at Wind Rock and make the occasional trip to CO to explore old mining trails and hunt for ghost towns. And I always travel alone. So, one of my first purchases for the Trooper was an ARB bullbar and a Warn M8000. That was in 2002. Oddly, since then, I haven't had a desperate need for a winch. Oh, there have been numerous times when I have had to clear a large branch or tree from the trail, but I've never been stuck, so I never had a chance to put the M8000 to the test.

Then, this Spring, I had a 70', 18" diameter black pine break in a windstorm and fall into the lake near my boat dock where we live. After failing to get TVA to remove it (it was on their easement), I decided to see if the Trooper, ARB bullbar and Warn winch were up to the task. The tree was in about 3-5 feet of water and would have to be lifted about 8' to get it up into my yard where I could cut it up with a chainsaw. I had no idea what the tree weighed, so to aid in the lifting and increase the pulling power, I strapped a snatch block onto another standing tree as high as I could reach in an attempt to pull the trunk of the tree in the water up onto the embankment. I paid out about half the wire rope (50') to gain a little mechanical advantage. The tree moved freely as I oriented it perpendicular to the shore, but eventually snagged on the rip-rap on the shoreline. Not sure if I would overtax the M8000, I continued the pull, stopping occasionally to allow it to cool.

The winch struggled with the pull, but managed to coax the tree trunk up and onto the embankment. Then, I attached the snatch block to a tree some 60 feet away and positioned the Trooper about another 30' or so from the snatch block at about a 45 degree angle. When I started the pull, the tree moved only a few feet further into my yard before the winch started pulling the Trooper across the grass towards the snatch block. I blocked all four wheels and tried again. No dice. The tree was too heavy (but the winch, although it was clearly struggling, pulled on). Finally, I backed the Trooper up to another tree and wrapped a strap around it and hooked both ends over the tow hook on the back. When I began to pull, there was so much force that I actually was pretty sure something was going to give the winch, the bumper, maybe even the frame of the truck. The winch was clearly maxed out and turned slowly. But the tree moved. I took my time and allowed the winch to cool after about each 1 1/2 2 minute pull. It took maybe 1/2 an hour, but the tree eventually all ended up in the yard where I could saw it up.

The winch never failed (nor did the bull bar or the frame of the Trooper) and it saved me nearly the cost of purchase that day alone. Now, when I'm on the trail, I have full confidence that I can deal with almost any extrication issue that comes along. Well done, Warn!

This is the best basic winch you can get. Don't be fooled into buying any of the cheaper ones. Learn from my mistakes. It does what it says it does. Pulls four tons. Has paid for itself in my case with one emergency use. Had to pull and lift 2.5 tons which it did with ease. I would recommend having a snatch block and either a chain or heavy strap to give more options when needed. It is not always possible to get the truck with the winch in exactly the right spot. The snatch block allows for more choices.

I'll say it again, M8000 now comes with a mounting bracket so no need to order another unless you want a spare...So far I have only operated it to stretch the line. It seems everyone has one of these. One thing I should have consideredmy driving habits. I know many people submerge their winches without problem and I do my fair share of water crossings.... I'm not saying don't get this if you see any water...it's just something to consider

Great price for one of Warns top selling wincheslifetime warrantyWarns ultimate reliability. I'll update after more use.

Aside from the winch you'll need to invest in a few things. A tree protector strap (not an ordinary tow strap), a snatch block or two (doubles your pulling capacity), shackle or two, heavy duty gloves, and a heavy blanket or jacket. You can buy a kit which includes much of what you need. Warn, ARB, Rugged Ridge and many others have these kits available. Advisable also is a cover to protect your investment from the elements.

Does what I need it to do at a decent price. Disappointed that it's slightly too big. I don't like having to use shims on battery terminals. Different metals lead to corrosion faster when electricity is involved. I got the proper positive and negative terminals & both are slightly over sized.

This part is junk. Oversize mount hole won't clamp on post. Threw in garbage. Not worth returning.

I purchased both the + and clamps and neither would tighten properly. This is onto a brand new battery. I picked up a couple of cheap lead clamps and they work perfectly. If the slots were cut deeper or the holes were reamed smaller these would work, but these must have been overlooked by QC and got sold as-is.

These might look pretty but they simply do not clamp onto the battery posts properly rendering them useless junk.

Beware of this issue before you consider purchasing these clamps.

• Includes auxiliary input, USB port, SD card slot, wireless remote

• Built-in iPod Docking Station with iPodconnector (compatible with various iPodmodels)
• USB and SD Memory Card ports
• Full Detachable Front Panel
• Single-DIN Mounting
• 5 Volt PreAmp Output

We always use an Ipod when we are on the boat, so this sounded great! Installation was easy, I have two amps and this has pre amp outputs for front, rear and sub woofer so I just had to plug them in. Great sound, doesn't have any different sound features, just bass and treble adjustments along with bass boost if you have a sub woofer, but it sounds great. When you put your Ipod inside, which is pretty easy, it is secure so you don't have to worry about it getting wet or bouncing all over you dash. It also charges when it is docked inside. Won't support the Iphone, but I have had just about every Ipod docked in it and they all worked. The "touch pad" controls are not as sensitive or fast as you would think, sometime you have to touch them a few time to get it to work. The wireless remote is great. My stereo is mounted at an angle (2001 Ski Centurion)and if you are sitting down in the back set you need to hold the remote up high to work, not a big deal. The only real negative thing that I have with the stereo is that if you find a specific song, playlist or whatever it is time consuming and you will need the directions until you have done it a few time. The great thing is though, it has an aux input so you can always plug another Ipod in that way.

I bought this with little expectations. Thinking that in a year or so, I'd upgrade. After the third month of having this on my boat, center console, I took the boat out on the gulf, started up the radio, and nothing showed up on the screen display. It's almost impossible to figure things out without the display. There are so many buttons that have multiple uses. Luckily, the remote control works fine and after reading the manual again, I can use it effectively.

What happened to the radio? I don't know. My only thoughts are that moisture got into my center console area and with the boat covered, the humid environment created inside the console where the radio sits caused part of the radio unit to burn out. Yes, the outside part of the radio (the cover) is waterproof, but the back of the radio that is placed into the hole of the console is not.

The ipod docking is pretty neat. It can be a little difficult to insert the ipod if you have big fingers like I do. I get it to work every time, but it could be a bit easier. I've also used the auxiliary-out option and it works perfectly. I have yet to try the USB option.

This radio does put out great sound. When I am cruising and blasting, however, it will flip off my fuse after about an hour of sustained loudness. I do have it cranked high, so it doesn't surprise me.

If you can keep this radio from getting any moisture, then it's a great buy. If you have an open center console where moisture may somehow get to the back of the radio, you might just run into the same problem as I did.

Unit has a great sound and power for the $$. Difficult to tune the stations as touch controls are very sensitive especially when boat moving around on the water.

I bought this unit a few months ago and installed it into my boat. The SSD card reader doesnt work the songs wont read and if they do read they skip like crazy. Since I cannot use the SSD card reader I'm forced to use the USB reader which also sucks, the songs skip and the USB reader stops reading quite often. The unit turnes on when powered off with out even pressing a button. The remote only works if its pointed directly in front of the unit about 2 feet away.

CyberPower CPS150CHI AC Mobile Power Inverter/Converter, 12VDC to 120VAC, 150W, Cup-Mount

I've owned this device for over a year and it's great. Use it for laptops and cell phone chargers with no problems. Stays much cooler than our previous inverter.

Update 6/2009: Bummer. It burned up. Plugged it in one day and within seconds smoke was pouring out. Had to throw it out of the car and let it cool off before sending it to the electronics recycler. Scary. Amazon won't let me change the rating, but generally I would give burning electronic devices no more than one star.

One of the attractions of this item is that it has two inputs: a regular mains AC socket and a cigarette lighter socket. In essence, this means you can power two things at once. That's a frequent requirement in my car so this item appeared ideal...or so I thought.

There are a couple of issues with it. First, as others have noted, it does seem to shut off quite quickly when you're powering a laptop. In my case, it could be anything from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. The second flaw is that the cigarette lighter socket on this device is about 2 inches (5cm) long. Some devices have shorter adapters than others and the shorter ones won't fit into the socket on this device because the adapter can't reach the contacts in the socket.

So, for example, this kind of item will work just fine:

Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter P510 Original (OEM) 89144 / SPN5401 for Motorola Razr V3, V3a, V3c, V3i, V3m, V3t, V3r, V3xx, Q, W315, RIZR Z3, KRZR K1, KRZR K1M, W385, MOTOROKR Z6m (Retail Package)

This kind of item will probably not work with it:

BlackBerry 12V/24V Automotive Charger

Finally, it's described as having a "Cup-Mount". All this means in reality is that it's narrow enough to fit into a cup holder. If you want an item that is actually designed for a cup holder, take a look at this:

PowerLine 0900-66 200-Watt Coffee Cup Inverter with USB Charging Port and Two Outlets

I shall be returning this item because of its poor performance and flawed design. I've still given it two stars because your mileage may vary depending upon the adapters/devices you want to use with it.

Worth a look but there are probably better-designed inverters out there.

My wife and I are planning a road trip this summer and wanted a way to charge camera batteries, cell phones and operate a laptop computer. The reviews indicated the CyberPower AC Power Converter was a good unit to purchase. We purchased the device and have since run several road test, 2 of which it powered an IBM laptop(with GPS software)for 5-7 hours. It worked GREAT! It ran cool and kept the battery in the laptop at full charge for the duration of the trips. We are very happy with this purchase.

After buying product at Best Buy for $70, I came home and looked it up on Amazon.com where sure enough I found it for much less! I took back the one to Best Buy and got mine from Amazon in just a couple of days. I bought this primarily to use in our car for powering our Gateway & Toshiba laptops on road trips. As opposed to some power adapters which have various tips for various brands of computers, this is great in that if offers the versatility of being able to plug other AC items as well. A little large and the cords are a bit short, but I didn't think is was annoyingly loud.

I had purchased 3 of these to have as bach ups. Well one out of the 3 works.. The other two fell apart the minute I plugged them into my phone. In fact a piece of the end stuck in my phone and I had to use tweezers to get it out.. JUNK !!!

Product was just as ordered! Received it very quickly! I would order it again, the price was very reasonable and affordable

This car charger fell apart the second time I used it. The end that plugs into the phone broke in half while trying to disconnect it from the phone. It is truly a piece of junk. I guess you get what you pay for. My mistake.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Ford Models (Black)

I was looking to put floor liners in my 1995 Bronco XLT since the carpets took a beating last winter. I wanted Weathertech brand because I've had good luck with them in the past. There was no option available for the Bronco though. The Husky liners work and fit exactly the same. I'm very satisfied with this product so far. We'll see how it holds up through the winter.

Note: This product fits Broncos with the dash mounted transfer case, but has a small side area (clearly marked) that can be trimmed to fit the floor mounted lever.

This is my second pair. My first pair was for a 2003 Ford f250 super duty and this pair is for a 1994 Ford F350. Both pairs fit well, are sturdy, don't slide, and are tough.

Install Essentials 507M Tilt Sensor

I added this sensor to the Viper 5902 in my '90 Jetta. As stated in other reviews, it works perfectly! I tried jacking the car up, and before the tire left the ground, the alarm was in full panic mode. Just don't cut the option wires; the factory settings are perfect, IMO. The fact that the unit resets it's horizontal plane every time the ignition is cut off is what makes this unit so versatile. Highly recommended.

Let me start by acknowledging Amazon for providing such a deal on the sensor. The manufacturer sells this sensor at $90. I was able to add three additional sensors (radar, tilt, glass) to my system for less than the price of one.

After installing the sensor, I attempted to jack up the vehicle. It sounded the full alarm before a wheel lifted from the ground. Great addition to my Python 872 security system.

This sensor was very simple to install. The color coded wires make this fool-proof. After mounting, I tried to "steal" my own wheels, and set the alarm off long before I could jack up the car high enough to remove any wheel. I'm very happy to have this sensor.

Bought this sensor and a Viper 350 responder alarm, installed carefully on my car, always metering every line at the car's harness that goes to the alarm. (I've seek on Internet to get a guide on my specific cars harness) I installed the sensor as the manual states: "facing upward" it is recomended to be installed on the floor because it needs to be horizontal mounted, but instead I used the 2 sided tape and sticked on a plane surface near to the radio. After the full installation, I make a test, arm the alarm and beging raising the car with it jack... surprise!! it's true! it detects tilting before wheel get in the air!! wow! it's a great addition to the alarm an therefore a great peace of mind if you have great wheels & rims!!!

It isn't necesary to get a DEI alarm to use this sensor, it use 3 wires: blue, orange, red. the blue goes conected to any 'instant trigger' of your alarm, the red to constant positive(+), and the orange connected to a Ground-when-armed (-) wire. If your alarm doesn't have it, make it through the use of a universal relay.

The relays have these numbers marked on it:

* Connect pin 85 to Ground(-) & pin 86 to ignition wire(+)

(check polarity on relay if it have a diode) these are the coil's pins.

* Conect pin 30 to ground(-) & conect orange (from sensor) to pin 87a

There's a lot of ways of make a ground-when-armed(-) line. All it have to do it's cut the line orange(-) when you put your keys on ignition. The sensor will reset to the last position plane when you turn the engine off from ignition switch, then this is when the sensor will be on.

Works great. Only problem is that I had to put in a toggle switch to bypass when I park at work. something would trigger the sensor about 30 seconds after arming the alarm. The toggle fixed the problem.

PowerDuo Reserve

• The industry's most trusted AC and 12 volt chargers
• Charges iPhone, iPod, MP3 players, other USB-chargeable devices
• Removable backup battery provides hours of additional use for iPhone and iPod
• Battery is interchangeable between PowerJolt Reserve and PowerBlock Reserve chargers (chargers and Reserve battery packs are also sold separately)

The good: The battery is small and light. The less then optimal: The battery pack does not provide much extra power. Reviews for this product (on Amazon and elsewhere) report it provides about 70-75% additional battery life. In 2 uses of this with my iPhone 4S, it only provided 15%-20% increase in battery power. The 15% was after the battery pack had sat about a week after being charged. The 20% was after the battery pack had been just removed from the charger and said it was fully charged. While I like Griffin products and generally find them to be of better than average quality, I think this product is a bit too expensive for the additional power it provides.

Ok, I got this for our 4 hour flight and it came in handy when my daughter had 7 percent battery life and when she used this it gave her 37 percent more. Works fast and keeps it's charge even if it's not plugged in for a couple days.

This is the second griffin charger I have purchased. The first one was for my teenage daughter, who loves this device and carries it with her wherever her phone goes. The second was for my wife, who like my daughter, would find herself in an awkward place with a phone about to die. The backup battery charges from the car charger and is fairly small so it fits in a pocket or purse easily. It provides about a 40% charge, so don't expect a full charge. The 40% charge gives them both about 2 hours of phone service, so so far it fits the need very well without being bulky. Now my grown son wants one.

Have this product for over one year and liked it enough to send it as a gift for a friend!

This battery has been charged for hours and only provided me with 20% boost. Seems useful for trips and plus it comes with wall and car charger. Didn't pay much for it but $29.99 seems overpriced for me.

Goal Zero 13002 Sherpa Universal Inverter

Do not buy this if you just need an inverter. Low wattage, poor construction in comparison to other inverters. The output plug is unique in that you can output 220v british or german plugs or 110v american. This inverter comes into its own with the goal zero kit compatible and stackable with the other goal zero batteries. Beware of the other cusotmer reviews for goal zero they have an active social media marketing program.

I bought this inverter as part of a Goal Zero system to use when on camping trips to run a CPAP machine. Since this would be running a medical device, I felt it was important to know I could trust the system. I carefully measured (using a Kill-a-Watt) the power my CPAP was consuming and knew that in good conditions the battery as found in the Sherpa 120 should last nearly 3 nights, so the solar panels wouldn't need to fully charge the system in a single day. I have also measured the CPAP (using a Watts-Up) when running directly from 12v and it consumes about 30 watts a night (vs 37 watts a night on 120v wall power).

I have been happy with the Sherpa 120 battery and the Nomad 27 solar panels. The system is working for me but the weak link in the system is the inverter. The Inverter is inefficient on smaller loads. My CPAP averages only ~5 watts to run at night but consumed nearly 8 watts of power through the inverter. This really consumed my battery capacity. I was shocked to measure and realize that 30% of my consumed power was due to inverter inefficiencies. By running the CPAP directly from 12v, I was able to not only remove the inverter load, but also eliminate the need of the unit to transform from 120v to 12v, providing additional savings. Running the CPAP through the inverter at 120v, it won't quite make 2 nights without a small bump. Running the CPAP directly at 12v, I am able to squeak out 4 nights from a single charge. Of course this will all depend on your device and needs. For my CPAP and pressure settings; I use a lower pressure of 6 and an efficient Resmed Elite S8 system.

4 Stars: yes the inverter works as designed, it provides 120v AC and everything I tested works with it (withing it's stated limits). It has a nice univeral plug that allows use for both US and Eurpoean plugs without the need of an adapter. Unfortunately for lower power loads it's in-efficient and consumes more battery power than desired. If at all possible, convert your loads to 12v direct and your battery power will last longer. If you are in a setup where recharging your main battery isn't an issue then this won't be a problem and the system will function very well for you.

*** Update 26Mar2012 ***

I have purchased an additional 3 different inverters and tested them. The result is that this turns out to be one of the more efficient inverters of the bunch. Perhaps I was expecting too much bcause this inverter does end up being more efficient than the other 3. The main advantage for this inverter is that the fan only goes on if it's necessary, thus saving considerable power. 2 of my other 3 keep the fan on continuously which is terribly annoying and causes them to be unusable in many off the grid situations. I still hope that a more efficient version comes along and this can be improved for low power needs.

I bought this item to use in conjunction with the Goal0 Adventure 50 kit specifically to charge my Nikon D7000 batteries as at the time I could not find a 12 v charger.

This system is so easy to use. After several years of combing an ugly system of panels and adapters, it is so refreshing to have such a simple system to charge electronics while mountaineering. I used this item on Denali. On occasion the unit was buried in a duffel bug under several feet of snow at our storage caches. The cold did not seem to affect the inverter or the accompanying system of panels and battery (bought separately)

Goal0 just works and so simple to use. Thank you.

When I saw this, I really wanted it bad. The idea is great, and I can think of tons of things to do with it, but the product stopped working shortly after I got it. Although I did not have the opportunity to use it for an extended period of time, I do think the enclosure lacks the durability for long-term outdoor use.

The inverter works as stated. I bought the Goal0 Sherapa 50 kit and the inverter back in September of this year. The inverter works great and I have charged my electric razor with it as well as ran my living room lamp for 2 hours. I will be putting it to the ultimate challenge in December of 2011 when I deploy to Afghanistan. Buy it, as it will come in handy.
