Lanzar OPTIKITCAP0 Optidrive 0 Gauge Dual Amplifier Wire Kit & 3.0 Farad Round Capacitor w/LED Disp

Lanzar OPTIKITCAP0 Optidrive 0 Gauge Dual Amplifier Wire Kit & 3.0 Farad Round Capacitor w/LED Display
  • Lanzar OPTIKITCAP0 0 Gauge Digital Installation Kit for (2) Amplifiers

It has all the wire and parts that are needed. However the 0 guage wire itself is the same size as a cheap Scoshe 4 gauge wire I had from a prior system. It is quality wire, other than the actual wire size. The hardware seems great and useful. Overall it is a great product if you do not need true 0 guage wire. Good for a small to medium size system but I would not recommend it for a performance or high end system that requires a lot of power.

GREAT, true zero gauge wires. However, the kit I received contained and old capacitor THAT WAS LEAKING ACID. Good thing my JL 1000/1 has a built in capacitor, or I would have been pissed. This product would have gotten 5 stars if it weren't for the leaking capacitor. You can tell it'd been sitting in their warehouse for a good 12+ years. I'm sure this doesn't happen all the time though, so I do recommend it!

Viper 7141V 4-Button Remote

Viper 7141V 4-Button RemoteBought this as a replacement for my Viper 7900. I had gone through 2 of the 7900 remote (which was bulky, the button wording wore off and gave out of range errors) before deciding to get this. I was skeptical at first buying this as it looked very basic, I would loose my 2-way communication and LCD screen that gives feedback on all actions of the original 7900 remote and looked really cheap. But that was going to cost $200 for a new one and this one was $25.

It fits nice in my hand, the buttons have a nice solid click, thin, and lightweight. Very easy to pair up with my alarm and the Viper alarm actually responds faster with this remote than the original remote. The Viper 7141V remote works so well that I really don't miss the LCD screen or 2-way communication.

I highly recommend this remote as a replacement!

I bought this because I have the VSS5000 package and hate the remote that came with the package. This remote has a much better tactile feel and functionality to it since it is designed in such a way that means you don't have to do a double check look at the remote to verify which button you're pushing. It does slightly increase the size of the remote you're carrying (and I like as small as possible) but to me it was worth it because of it's attractiveness and the previously mentioned tactile functionality.

Buy Viper 7141V 4-Button Remote Now

Safe to say after a year of owning these they deserve to have a thorough review. The 714 is as can be seen a 4 button setup. But more so the fact that the design with those 4 buttons is asthetically pleasing to the eye; should it be strange for a remote to look "sexy"? DEI thought so... and they may have won on that gamble. I tend to look at it and think it looks something like one of those really nice running shoes you always wanted to get.

Function wise this is, like most DEI remotes... backwards compatible. Presently I have this on a Viper 300+ and it works flawlessly. It will work for almost ANY older viper system which carried the old "green led" setup. Also this design is not too large albeit slightly longer, but it is one of the few remotes you can feel comfortable to walk around with in your pocket and not feel as if you needed to be a kangaroo...

Also, it is quite durable; Many of the older 3 button viper remotes had an issue where dropping it a few times would result in the battery holder breaking free from the circuit board... not so with the 714. it has taken much abuse in the time I've used it and possibly the only thing I hate is the fact that I scratched my "sexy shoes"

As it stands these remotes appeal to me SO much, that should I decide to sell my car or for the very least change to another VIPER, i will keep these as a spare or even use them on my other car; it is THAT GOOD and that appealing. So, if you are in the market for a replacement... look no further, unless you like large LCD sort of remotes that tells you the cat's sleeping on your car at a specific set of GPS coordinates and you can make your car horn the alarm clock at 4 in the morning...

BAH... I'll take the 714. 5 of 5 stars.

Just thought Id let everyone know this does work with the Viper 571xv. This seems a little more durable than my original two way remote, but this one could still be better, range seems about the same or possibly slightly better.

Car DVR HT200A Full HD 1920*1080P 30FPS 4X digital zoom waterproof HDMI H.264 sport action camera

Car DVR HT200A Full HD 1920*1080P 30FPS 4X digital zoom waterproof HDMI H.264 sport action camera
  • 5.0Mega pixels COMS sensor
  • 120degree 5G All Glass Lens
  • 720p(1280*720)/30FPS.VGA(640*480)/60FPS
  • SD Card slot (Support Max.32GB SDHC)
  • Bulit-in microphone

The camera works well and takes great 1080P HD movies in the daytime but night performance is quite poor, not as good as some other less expensive cameras. The video is dark and everything looks brown and fuzzy at night so it's best to use this model just in the daytime. Also it's a sports cam not a car DVR. Although it can be used in a car it won't come on and start recording automatically. It also has a few other issues. Due to being waterproof there is a heavy rubber cover over the buttons that makes them hard to press. Also the mic, which is inside the case, doesn't pick up much sound unless the back cover is open but with it open you get a lot of rattling noise. The mounting hardware also has issues. The angle bracket and the suction cup mount connect with 4 small prongs but they have a bump on them that prevents sliding into the holes they are supposed to go into. I had to file them off a bit before they would go together. The suction cup is large and has a sticky surface that stays on when it's attached but the prong that the camera sits on is small and lets the camera vibrate and bounce around all the time. Also the knob that is turned to attach the suction cup has a big detent it drops into when it's turned all the way on but then it won't easily come undone to remove it. I purchased different mounting hardware on ebay to use instead of the supplied one, a different suction cup with a metal camera mount attached to it that doesn't vibrate. In addition the mounting plate on the bottom of the camera is attached with 8 small screws that go into little plastic pins and 3 of them are starting to break already so it will probably have to be glued on with epoxy eventually.

UPDATE 2/05/12 Amazon is allowing me to return all six reels I bought with them paying postage, even though I bought them nearly a year ago. I have no need for spools of fake copper wire made out of 95% aluminum.

UPDATE 2/03/12 just today I became aware of the review by Kyle A. Stein, to see it click on the reviews of the black color of this same wire, BC4B-100. He reports that it only has a trace of copper and it's mostly aluminum. I will be contacting Amazon about possible fraud.

________________________________________________ now back to original review from early 2011:

I just took delivery on a spool of this in black and a spool of it in red, and I'll describe it here... but first, I'd like to ask anyone out there if this is really copper wire.

IS IT?

Amazon is a nice buying experience usually, but in some cases like this there is no way to get a quick answer to a question, I don't know if I should return it or not.

The wire is silvery-color instead of copper-color. Now this could be because it's plated in silver or tin, which would be ok, or it could be that it's steel wire, which would not be OK. Wish me luck in figuring that out. The description claims it to be copper wire, but it is not copper color.

It is also not what one usually thinks of as battery cable, which is that fairly-rigid stuff that battery cables are made out of. This has much finer strands, and to my eye looks a lot narrower in the total strands than 4 gauge battery cable.

It is limp as a noodle, also unlike normal battery cable, and I assume it is more for installing stereo systems than being used as robust battery cable.

Any recommendations out there for how I can tell? I think I'll probably be returning it, because it simply isn't regular battery cable wire. But I might keep it IF it turns out to be copper wire.

I have become increasing aware of the number of catastropic weather events over the last few years, and find them alarming. I bought this so I would be able to tune into the TV networks when there was no electricity. Just two weeks ago, there were tornados in my area of Texas, and this was a great help in being aware of which areas were in the greatest danger.

It was easy to set up, and the picture is great as long as it's close to a window. I am very pleased.

OTC 3184 Professional Battery Charging/Starting System Analyzer Kit

OTC 3184 Professional Battery Charging/Starting System Analyzer KitI bought this tester because a client with several boat batteries needed their failure definitively documented for a warranty claim.

The literature claims the tester will operate with as little as 1 VDC, and there is no need to charge the batteries before testing. When I arrived on the client's boat, the batteries were at 11.85-12.00 V, which should be plenty to test the batteries. Not so. The 3184 responded with "Charge & Retest".

After charging to "Float" with the multistage charger, the batteries were at 12.33-12.46 V (low for fully charged batteries). The 3184 responded with "Good Battery" for each battery, based on the CCA being close to the factory rated value. The only problem is that the batteries are NOT good. They are rated for 198 Amp-hours each, but can only supply about 10% of that before the voltage drops to a useless level (11.7 V).

After much deliberation with OTC tech support, it turns out that the 3184 tester is not capable of testing all lead-acid battery types. My client has AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) batteries, and the 3184 gives erroneous results. There is no mention of this shortcoming in any of the (minimal) literature supplied with the tester, or in OTC's description of the tester on their web site. I actually found the problem in the online OTC catalog on a "compare features" page while waiting on hold, and the OTC tech support people were not even aware of it.

Thankfully, Amazon will accept my return. I am upgrading to the OTC 3167 tester, which claims to be able to test "All" 6-12 V lead-acid batteries, including AGM. Still waiting for delivery.

Since not much can be found online about this product I hope to shed some light on this tester.

The OTC 3184 is a conductance battery tester and not a load tester. This technology now seems to be the preferred method of testing the condition of automotive batteries.

Testing a battery on the bench is done by simply selecting the battery rating with the tester and then allowing the tester to run its cycle. The tester will display the batteries voltage, if it is good or bad, and capacity in CCA, a very nice feature.

Charging and starting tests are very simple. The starting test records the lowest voltage from the battery while cranking the engine. The charging tests measure alternator output while at idle, 2000 rpm and 1000 rpm with varying loads turned on or off (headlights, heater, etc). There is also a test for alternator ripple voltage, this is the test that can really save you a lot of headache.

Test results are very repeatable and seem in line with load testing results.

I think the menu system could be a little better, but that's my only complaint.

Overall, a very nice tester to have in your toolbox.

Nice and portable unit. Lack of division between starting and charging analysis. Doesn't always seem accurate, the guess work isn't eliminated. Couple of battery comebacks already. Made in UK

I purchased for work. I maintain diesels that have four batteries each, 12 volts each. It works on 24 volt, but our batteries are 1500 amps each. It has trouble reading the cranking amps of both batteries at the same time. I just remove the jumper between the two and test each one individually. I do wish it tested amp hour rated batteries. It only does CCA and similar.

Want OTC 3184 Professional Battery Charging/Starting System Analyzer Kit Discount?

Measures CCA, but not very good at determining if battery is chargeable or sulfated. Still it's much better than using a voltmeter to inspect batteries and it's relatively inexpensive.

Excellent product from Castle. You only need a Y harness if you don't have two receiver channels I'm currently using it with a Hitec Optima 7 (1&5 ail, 2 elevator, 3 ESC, 4 rudder, 6&7 BEC). It is pretty large in size, but is fully configurable with the CastleLink programmer. Only issue was the slow fulfillment, but I was building the plane slowly so it wasn't a big issue.

PROs: The unit is light and can easily be programmed with a Castle Link which sold separately. It saves weight and space without using an extra battery pack. It uses the same battery as the ESC does. The instruction came with the unit for installation is clear and very detail in anyway.

CONs: The unit is a little beefy/bulky. You need to have a "Y" harness in order to connect it to receiver with 7 channel or less.

Battery Tender 021-1165 15W Solar Charger

Battery Tender 021-1165 15W Solar ChargerProduct works just as designed. Just as a note, the charging sensor is next to the solar panel. I would like it to be next to the end plug or have an option to plug one inline. I install this on the roof of my trailer and ran the cable down to the battery inside. I cannot see what status the battery is whether it's charging or trickling as the sensor is on the roof. Also keep in mind that this is solar. How do you keep a constant trickle if there is no sun at night? the next day when the sun comes out it will detect the battery and charge it like normal for a little while and then trickle it.

After a few months this item shorted out and melted. Could have easily caused a fire. Manufacturer did not respond to email about the problem. Luckily Amazon took a return but I am still out the shipping charges. Advise you to avoid this product.

This is a good product which is compromised by a shortcut in production that probably only saved a dollar or two in cost. Although the frame that supports the glass panel is solid metal, the corner braces are thin plastic. Several potential problems arise from this: First, if the panel is used for car battery charging, it will be repeatedly placed in the windshield and then removed. In a Honda Civic, this is a tight fit, making it easy to stress the panel. Strong frame corners would allow the panel to withstand greater torque. Torque or twisting force is hard to avoid when sliding the panel over the steering wheel.

If the panel is going to be mounted to a roof, the screws will be installed through the plastic corners which are too weak to handle the load of all but the lightest wind. I have not returned it because it would be good in an extended emergency, and someday I will improve the frame.

Finally, this 15 watt panel is marginal in power for all but the smallest car batteries. It is good for charging batteries of 32 Amp/hr or less and would be great (electrically) for bikes and electric start lawnmowers. Getting technical, 15 watts is not enough to prevent and reverse sulfation in larger lead acid batteries, the problem that makes this product important.

Haven't tried using this yet, don't know if it will even fit in the car. My intention was placing it in the car, but it seems to be very big to put in the windshield, luckily its a station wagon and it may do ok on the cargo floor for a few hours a day. Looks like the intention is to use it as a charging station, mounted somewhere external to the vehicle.

Currently, Amazon shows the dimensions as 17.8 x 17.8 x 3 inches, but the dimensions of the 15W panel are actually 38" x 16" x 0.875" (from mfg's website).

Also, the mfg says the 5W is for small batteries (lawnmowers, etc.), 10W is for motorcycles, etc. and 15W is for large batteries (auto).

Also, at 60", the attached cord is rather short in my opinion.
