BW Hard Shield Shell Cover Snap On Case for Verizon Samsung Brightside U380 + Car + Home Charger-Bl

BW Hard Shield Shell Cover Snap On Case for Verizon Samsung Brightside U380 + Car + Home Charger-BlackI liked how thw case snapped on easily. It fits well and has a good feel.

The car charger works OK and charges at the same rate as the wall plug.

The wall plug has a nice long cord.

As far as I know the chargers are fine, and the case was thought very highly of. Until today, my son let me know that case (which he's had for two days) broke when he slid his phone open. I'm bummed.

For less than five bucks I got this bundle with two chargers and cover for my brightside. Feels nice to the touch although the slider function seems a bit hindered from this. But it's nice to have the extra protection and the car charger. I wish all little devices used the micro usb plug companies like Apple with their new "unique" charger only serve to make us pay more to them and trash all the old charger cables. What an un-pc and eco-unfriendly move Apple! The chargers here fit my other phones, my kindle and I love this about it.

I got this case to protect my Samsung Brightside, it does its job we'll. I have dropped my phone a few times and there isn't a scratch on it, just on the case. The only problems I had were getting it on all the way. But the good news is that once it is on it is going to stay on for a while. The chargers were a big bonus to the purchase. Overall I recommend this product to anyone looking for a hardcase to their Samsung Brightside.

I bought this hoping to power some low wattage lights and other low power equipment only to find that it does not even have a polarized plug! Who the heck puts a three prong grounded outlet on anything with a plug that is not polarized. I wish I had never purchased this item as almost all of my equipment has polarized plugs. I ended up going to the local electronics store and looking for one and sure enough there was not an inverter in the store that did not have a polarized outlet on it. I hope I can save a few others from making the same mistake I did by posting this review!

It does not have a polarized plug, it gets warm when working, and it is not 240 watts unless you count all the heat it puts out, and I would not recommend using it unless you are close by just in case it catches on fire.

I do use it with several new and old devices with non polarized plugs such as my AC cell phone chargers, my 50 year old lamp, and hard wired to many AC devices in my lab.

I am happy with my purchase, and 2 years later it still works and has never set anything on fire yet, but I paid $16 with free shipping in 2010, and it's not worth much more.

Cobra MicroTalk CXT125 16-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GRMS Two-Way Radio

Cobra MicroTalk CXT125 16-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GRMS Two-Way Radio
  • 16 Mile Range
  • 22 Channels
  • 6 Rechargeable AAA batteries and "Y" wall charger included
  • Belt Clip included for easy carrying
  • Lead-Free Packaging

I bought the 2-way radio for our cruise we took. I bought it after reading about similar cobra products and liked the fact that batteries were rechargeable. After the initial charge the 2-way radio worked fine. We could communicate on the ship with each other to find where the other was, the voice was clear and crisp. One draw back was not having sub-channels on this product, as a result we could hear other conversations from other users. Even though the feature lists 16 mile range, I would say the maximum range was about 1 to 1.5 miles on an island without any major obstacles. The initial charge lasted a while but when the initial charge was gone, one of the radios would not recharge again and after a while the other failed to recharge. I tried charging for over 2 days but still no luck. I don't know where the failure was, whether it was the charger or the batteries themselves. I really like these radios but were useless without recharge so I ended up in returning to Amazon.

I bought this set of two walkies at Walmart for $24 and was attracted to the small size, simple design, and rechargeable batteries. I had intended to give them to my kids so when they hike about on our 25 acres of upstate forest, I can keep in touch with them. 16 miles under ideal conditions and 1 mile in the city according to the back panel. From the front lawn of our suburban home, without more than a few trees blocking, the signal faded after 1500 feet. By a mile, mostly static and largely inaudible. I would suggest that at $24, they are a great toy and within 1000ft, certainly as clear as a bell. Don't rely on them for anything over a mile especially if staying in contact is critical.

Cobra CJIC 250 300 Amp Portable Jump-Start/Air Compressor with A/C and D/C Power Outlets

Cobra CJIC 250 300 Amp Portable Jump-Start/Air Compressor with A/C and D/C Power OutletsPurchased this unit for our security program and have not been impressed. We only get one jumpstart out of it before it must be charged for 23 hours. If you need a jumpstarter, try a different unit.

Got this for a Christmas present and am extremely disappointed. Two days ago I charged the battery and it indicated fully charged. Today the battery is almost dead without it being used and storing it in a warm (approx 55 degree) location. Buy something else.

This is by far the best car jumper I've ever used. We got it for our emergency preparedness and so that we wouldn't have to rely on other people to help us if we needed a jump. Worked great the first few times we used it but within the first year that we got it, it stopped holding a charge and is now completely worthless. I wish Cobra would do a recall on this product and refund us or give us unit that can actually hold a charge.

This unit may be a good jumpstarter, I did not use any of the functions other than the 12 volt power outlet because, upon finding that this until will only supply 8 amps continuous 12 volt power, I could not run the 12 volt cooler that I wanted this unit to power. This unit may be OK if you just need a little jumpstarter and any 12 volt appliances you want to run are less than 8 amps.

I thought I would love this combo. I have a friend who has one. I probably would still like it if the air compressor end wouldn't have broken the first time I tried to use it. So now that part will never work. It is not a replacement part and Amazon.com will not let me return the Item for exchange or refund. If I had known this prior to ordering it I would have bought it elsewhere. I will never order something like this from Amazon.com again.

Battery Tender 021-0134 10-Bank 12V Battery Management System

Battery Tender 021-0134 10-Bank 12V Battery Management SystemHave only owned the product for a month, but am completely satisfied.

Does everything I would have expected. I collect motorcycles and never remove the batteries. I'm too lazy to move a charger from bike to bike. I've plugged in most of the bikes plus a car that I seldom use in the winter and leave them on. No worries.

Only negative I've found is the leads from the charger to the battery are only 6 feet long. If you require more, you need to purchase a 25 foot extension. 31 feet is much more than I need. Wish I could purchase leads of 10 to 15 feet long.

I live on a small farm and have many pieces of equipment that have batteries. I was able to remove the batteries and place them on a work bench and charge 10 of them at one time. Plus this unit will keep them at peak level until spring arrives.

I bought one of these last year and liked it so much, I bought another.

We use these to charge batteries for clay target throwers.

Since we started using them, we do not have the low battry issues we used to have in the middle of a shoot.

The charger even rejuvinated some batteries that were questionable.

I highly recommend it!!!!!!!

Sunforce 11240 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote Control

Sunforce 11240 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote ControlI bought the inverter to use in an RV to power lights, TV/DVD, and other light AC loads. The price on this unit is very attractive so I bought it and checked it out before installing. I tested it under light and maximum loads and even hooked it up to an oscilloscope to verify if it was really a sine wave output. The last thing I did was bring it in the house to power the TV, stereo, computer, DVD, and VHS player simultaneously. (This is still well under 1000W.)

Conclusions:

(1) Powers all loads I've thrown at it without a problem (except see #4# including electronics, 1000W electric heater, fluorescent and incandescent lights, and an electric drill.

#2# Has a real sine wave output.

#3# Causes considerable interference to AM radio when used to power the stereo system, but absolutely no interference on the TV or FM radio or anything else.

Strangely, the TV guide function on the cable box stopped operating, but I can't be sure if the inverter caused this.

But the really bad part:

#4# It has unexplained shutdowns. This usually happens under light loading conditions. The unit shuts down and displays an error code of OST #overload# or 529 #inverter defective#. The unit was not overloaded #not even close) any of the times this has happened. And when it happens, you have to turn it off and wait several hours to turn it back on. I think it has to lose its memory of the error before it will operate again.

I will probably be contacting the manufacturer regarding this problem. The unit is no good to me if it doesn't work reliably.

Bought this off Amazon a month or two ago. I was looking for an inexpensive pure sine wave inverter to replace my Duracell (Xantrex) modified sine wave inverter. I was expecting to have issues from the get go (due to the cheap price!) but this inverter is working out quite nicely. I have it hooked up to 4 Trojan T-105 batteries which is charged up with an 85 watt Kyocera solar panel and Xantrex C35 charge controller.

Being pure sine wave, I can run anything now that my old modified sine couldn't. No more annoying buzzing sounds from CFL's or TV's. certain appliances that wouldn't power up on the old inverter now work flawlessly. Some things I run on the Sunforce: Samsung 22" LCD TV, CFL's of all sizes, Playstation 2, battery chargers, laptops, electric cooler.

I haven't tripped the over current protection yet at all, not even when using items that typically surge, such as a large power drill.

No fan issues like the other review mentioned.. in fact I haven't heard it come on at all yet; then again it's winter time here in Missouri so I assume it truly is thermal controlled.

The remote keychain that was provided with the unit works great. Since I'm doing the electrical work on our new cabin, I can turn off and on when working on the electrical. Then turn it off when we leave for the week.

The only issue I've had so far is once I came back on the weekend and the inverter turned itself back on sometime during the week. This normally wouldn't be a big issue except we're limited on battery capacity and can be a nuisance if kept happening. This has only happened the one time so no biggie.

The LCD readout on the front of the inverter is a nice feature, more expensive inverters don't have this by default, though I rarely look at it.

I would like to determine how much power the inverter uses when it's powered on and in idle mode. The documentation doesn't mention this anywhere and would expect that would be a major selling point. (or, disadvantage if it's too much of a power draw). I don't have an amp meter to test what it is, if you find out please post a review.

The only other downsides is:

1) this inverter has no permanent mounting brackets. only rubber feet on the bottom. luckily the thick DC cabling keeps it well secured within the battery box.

2) the DC hookups are HAND TIGHTEN only. This can be an issue if you, like me, use the proper gauge wiring. in my case I'm using 6 gauge, which is actually borderline of being too small but the batteries are close by. I ended up using pliers to tighten the hand lugs. With thicker wiring, I imagine this would be a huge pain.

PROS:

inexpensive! I noticed the price just went up though :(

LCD readout on front panel

Keychain remote, I haven't seen any other inverters include this with the inverter itself

CONS:

no mounting brackets? I'm sure you could finagle some aluminum straps around it, instead.

hand tightened DC connections

no mention of idle power usage.

Buy Sunforce 11240 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote Control Now

I have several 1000W inverters in my service trucks and thought the idea of a RF remote would be nice so I stepped away from my usual brand (Xantrex) Xantrex Technologies 806-1000 Prosine 1,000-Watt Inverter and their newer, more value conscious true sine inverter product line which is within $20 of this sunforce unit but lacks the features. This time I bought the sunforce.

First off, testing finished inverter installations, I use a 1050W load (it's a heat gun with 1000W heater and 50w blower). True, this is MORE than 1000W but all inverters have some surge capacity so it's never been a problem before. The sunforce unit's efficiency is within 1% of xantrex, requiring 114-116 AMPS at 12VDC to operate the 1050W load, however the sunforce will shutdown within 3 seconds with an output overload condition, while the xantrex units will drain the battery first.

I stepped the load down to 900W and things were fine, so I'm really going to overlook their slightly over-rated specifications on the inverter because my loads are in the 300-400W range and need clean power. Besides, the value proposition with sunforce's feature set is still there.

Another pro/con to consider is that the Xantrex units are metal cased with mounting holes, while these are plastic that may lead you to some innovative mounting solutions, but it's not a big deal.

Neither Xantrex nor Sunforce has developed a "everything easy to read display" my -806 model xantrex prosine comes close with a remote mountable on/off plate w/ lcd that shows volts, amps, and watts as a bargraph simultaneously. But the Xantrex LCD display is smaller than some digital watches and can't be read across the truck cab, which forces me to remote mount it. Sunforce uses BIG digits that are red LED, but it cycles through output voltage, amps, etc by pushing a button it will only stay on one value for 1 second. The problem is unless you are pressing the button it defaults to AC volts, where battery voltage might be more useful

Sunforce did something really clever. Inverters of this power level are not easy to wire in (4' of #4 wire is about all you get to the battery before wire losses cut into your power conversion). The knobb-ish looking thing in the upper right of the product photo is a rubber cover for a high current 12VDC socket. You did all that wiring to hook this up, might as well get a cig lighter socket that shares the same big wires.

A good source of wiring is available on amazon and I've reviewed them Cobra CPI-A4000BC AC Power Inverter AWG Cables although if you really need 1000W keep a battery within 4 feet a second battery like the Optima Batteries 8052-161 D31M BlueTop Dual Purpose Battery optima deep cycle is a good setup as it can be mounted close to the inverter and charged from the vehicle alternator. Be sure to use a battery isolator so that your inverter can not drain the vehicles' starting battery.

If your use involves ALOT of runtime at 1000W a parallel combination of 2 D31 batteries will run longer without running the engine. For near constant use, use a 124 Amp alternator and you will need to run wires back to the vehicle power system and run the engine to provide power.

The Xantrex series will give you much more surge power to 1500 W if needed for 30 seconds. Sunforce has created a clever product that comes with 3 remote on/off switches in the package. All inverters have some feature you may want here it was the remote, some Xantrax models offer AC cutover to battery when an outside power source disappears. You do get alot in this model for a good price. My unit gets daily use and has not had a problem. Best advice is shop around the old models that were $600-700 have come down to the $200-300 range. Oversize the unit for your use because all AC loads have startup surges, especially lighting loads and motors. I generally double the inverter size.

No matter what brand you end up buying, a TRUE Sinewave inverter like this will give you utility quality power. After nothing but bad experiences with pseudo-sinewave (there are lots of names for it, but NOT real sinewave) units frying expensive equipment over time. Those units are only good for incandescent lights, and even those burn out faster!

First off. My battery backup flagged this product as "Building Wire Fault".

The product showed 119volts at 58hz. My lights flickered like I was in the early 1900s.

After checking all my indoor wiring and power strips, only this inverter remained.

Dismantling this product, the side "Heat-sinks" proved to be plastic. Worthless props.

I discovered the connections from the AC plugs had the "hot" connection soldered into the

ACN (neutral) and the neutral wire soldered into the ACL (load).

I soldered the wires into the proper positions, and after re-installing, still received

the "Building Wire Fault". I took the product apart again, and after discussion with another electrical technician, we concluded this product had no ground included on the neutral side

of the AC. I soldered a wire to the neutral side, and attached a ring terminal to the ground

screw in the back of the device. Reassembled, and re-installed, flipped the switch, and have

a functioning product. It now reads a steady 121 volts at 60.3hz steady. My lights don't flicker.

My power supply shows a properly grounded device. I am writing this review on the power from the

inverter. Bottom Line. VERY dangerous product. Not compliant for USA standards, and I don't feel

the average person on the street wants to have this "Shock Hazard" in their home. Just Saying....

Want Sunforce 11240 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Remote Control Discount?

I've had the Sunforce 1000w inverter for a couple of weeks now. Like a kid with a new toy, I had to try it on a couple things.

1. Bass guitar amp First thing I noticed was the static noise was a lot louder than when it was plugged into grid power. I guess the power isn't as clean as it should be for a pure sine wave inverter.

2. Rice cooker It drew around 600 watts according to my Kill-A-Watt. The inverter cooling fan was turning on and off very frequently during cooking. When the rice cooker was done and went to "keep warm" mode, it was only drawing 40 watts but the cooling fan still turns on and off for a while until I unplugged it. I can see the fan turn on for any draw over 500 watts, but 40 watts???

Pros It works. Cheap price. Cool remote power unit. Power information display panel.

Cons Like other reviews, no way to mount it. Fan turns on at really low power consumption. The heatsinks are plastic and serves no real purpose. You would think if they used real heatsinks, it would've provided better passive cooling to minimize cooling fan operations. The big thumb screws for the battery power leads doesn't tighten good enough, better to replace them with nuts and washers from a hardware store.

I give it a 3 1/2 star.

Wagan 4-Way 12V Automotive Socket Extender

Wagan 4-Way 12V Automotive Socket ExtenderThis splitter is HEAVY and bulky. But if located correctly, these are advantages. I was using all 4 outlets with multiple swaps going on all day by people from different angles in the van, and there was never a problem with intermitant contact or loose contacts. I attribute that to the heavy casing and the heavy outlets. The only caution are the two tabs used to attach the splitter. They appear to be undersized if the splitter is hung. I used both the provided double-sided tape and the tabs to hang my splitter it is quite stable.

I received this item fast and I installed it in about 5 minutes. It came with double sticky tape and 4 screws so you can choose which method is best for you. I chose the screws because I wanted a more secure installation. I drilled the holes and mounted the bracket and the unit attached easily. I plugged it in and hooked up my key fob charger, phone charger and radio transmitter and had all 3 operating without a hitch. The unit is sturdy and mounted with the screws I had no problems plugging and unplugging my devices. The only thing I can complain about is that the item I received was not the same as the picture so they must have substituted. I have no problem with that as the substitution in my opinion is better looking and it works awesome. I would buy another if I owned another vehicle. I recommend this to everyone.

I uploaded 4 pictures also so you can see the unit installed.

Not much to it. But still, it does what it supposed to do, and and is solid.

Comes with screws and a mount for the dash, and double sided tape so you can mount the way you prefer. 4 outlets, one with the "spring" bit that works with your cig lighter. The maybe 3' cord leading to the device is nice, and makes it flexible for mounting.

This product was pretty good for what it was. It's positives is that there are four sockets to charge

but the negatives is that the sockets are really narrow so if your plug is wide then you will most likely have to leave a slot unoccupied simply because the sockets are so close together.

Another con for a compact car is the cord is pretty long.

And the final and major con is it worked well for the first 9 months but died just last week. It is very disappointing as I paid more in hopes this would last a while. I will be contacting the company

Cord is as specified @ 34"

Safegaurded by a 10 amp fuse

All 4 sockets are usable for any device and all 4 sockets can be used at the same time as long as the total amperage pulled by those 4 devices is a total of 10 amp's or less.

Mounting screws are very short, so I used some longer screws; I didn't try to use the doubled sided tape.

I installed the unit under the passenger dash on my bass boat and ran wires from the battery to a female adapter to the front where it connected to the male adapter.

Peak PKC0CV 4/10/20/40 Amp Intelligent Battery Charger

Peak PKC0CV 4/10/20/40 Amp Intelligent Battery ChargerI love this charger. Perfect for my RV having 2 parallel deep discharge batteries. Charging with my on-board gas generator seriously speeds up the charge at the 40 amp rate. While paying $4 for gas I don't want to run the generator unnecessarily with a charger having a slower charge rate.

It works as promised. But the manual is not too clear about how it works. There is no transformer. It's a High Frequency switching power supply and charges by both constant current and constant voltage only near the end. Near the end of charge the microprocessor switches back to constant voltage to top off the battery at a much slower rate.

I set the mode at 40 amps and if the batteries are deeply discharged, it stays steady as a rock at the 40 amps, up until it approaches 90% of the full capacity. Then you can see the charge rate taper off as it slows down the charge until it's full.

I spoke to customer service about the 90 day warranty. They just didn't get around to updating the warranty period to a year. But they have not denied a free exchange to anyone, no matter how long they had it. Of course they want to reserve the right to deny a free exchange if it was abused. IMHO for the money, it's the best in value, rating the performance vs cost.

I would like to buy this but just noticed that the warranty is only 90Days!!! That's it???? Only 90days!!! They must not think much of their product!! Even unreliable Vector VEC 1095 offers 5 Years, last time I checked (I had 6 of those).

Sandisk Sansa MP3 E250 E260 E270 E280 Series Bundled Home Travel Wall Charger and 12v Rapid Car Cha

Sandisk Sansa MP3 E250 E260 E270 E280 Series Bundled Home Travel Wall Charger and 12v Rapid Car ChargerThese chargers work just fine. I have my Sansa e280 with me all the time and leaving it connected to the computer for a couple of hours to charge is inconvenient. Highly recommended.

Both items work well with the Sansa e280. They charge much much faster than the included USB cable. I am happy with the results and the value. It's too bad Sandisk didn't allow simultaneous listening and charging.

I was surprised that this product actually works and works great.The home charger allows u to charge and play at the same time, the USB hookup dont. I use my sansa at work and it was a hassle to bring it into the house and charge it almost every night. Now I just leave it hooked up to the car charger and its charging on the way to and from work. I especially luv the home charger, its multi-voltage and will work at my island home in the Philippines. But how can they sell it for under 3 bucks? it cost more to ship it. But I will reccomend this product to my sansa buddies.

The review refused to permit no star; otherwise that is what I would have given it. Unfortunately the recharger dock connector cable simply will not plug into my Sandisk e280R. Since no instructions came with the recharger I must assume that either the "R" extension on the e280R makes it incompatible with the recharger or else both of the rechargers are defective. The advertising did not indicate any difference between e280 series and e280R. It would cost more time and effort to return than it would be worth.

The components of this accessory kit are first rate and only a fraction of the cost of the AC charger alone if it was purchased for an IPOD! So, not only do you get a bargain price for the Sansa E series MP3 player you also get the AC and car charger at a great price.
