Stinger SVMB Voltage Gauge - Blue Display

• Cross-flow Fan
• Keeps amplifier components running cool
• Easy installation
• Draw: .19 Amp

Installed on left side air duct panel along with a DPDT switch to allow monitoring of primary and aux batteries and also to turn off the display. The display is bright and the brand name is especially so, so I removed the snap off cover and darkened it with a felt tip marker, which was just enough to work for me. Good product, looks good, works good. Was 25 bucks delivered, good price. Check out my pictures above.

This is a great voltmeter. Install is easy and it has an adjuster to match the voltage of where you want to read from. The only downside to this thing is the stinger name is very bright at night so i had to tape it off as it was giving me a headache.

Reliable. Easy to install. Came from the factory perfectly calibrated.

Only downside: the display is WAY TOO BRIGHT!

-I had to hook mine to a toggle switch...it's just waaaay too bright to run at night. Guess it's better than being too dim. I'd also suggest a small piece of window tint...

Otherwise, great product. Recommend!

This is a great meter. I like the size and its easy to read. It is very bright at night though just as the other reviewer said so i hooked it up to a switch on the remote side. Tested it against a voltmeter and it was accurate right out of the box. I particularly like the option it has of adjusting the voltage for accuracy. Great product.

Like others have said the "stinger" name is too bright. I covered it with electrical tape problem solved.

I bought this to monitor the battery voltage in my solar-powered RV. It worked fine (if a little bright at night) for about 3 weeks and then died. The name still lights up, but there is no voltage readout. It just went blank.

I am not impressed with its reliability.

RoadPro RPSC-818 12V Hair Dryer/ Defroster with Folding Handle

First I need to state that I'm not using this 12v "hairdryer" for hair, or deicing a windshield. I'm using it to clear up the dew that settles on the objective of a large amateur telescope, so I only need to warm it up slightly. Therefore, I'm not really putting it to any stressful use. It's a good thing as this blower is not really a solidly built piece of equipment. In fact, it should be handled with care as it is a bit flimsy. It gets warm, not hot. It blows gently, not hard. It has only a simple on-off. Folding the handle seems to be prone to causing the rear housing to separate from the rest of the blower, so don't do it! If dropped from a handheld height onto a hard surface I'm sure you will find it irrepairably dead. BUT! It's darned cheap, in build along with price. Obviously, I got what I paid for.

My wifes RoadPro 818 died within a month. It started smoking and the switch melted.

I ride motorcycle and camp out frequently. Most campgrounds provide a 110-volt outlet in the restroom, but at rallies, they can be a very popular commodity involving a long wait in line! This 12-volt hairdryer actually works, and although it takes longer to dry my (short) hair, it does the job adequately and I can get on with my day. For longer hair, it would not work as well, but I can honestly recommend it for short hair styles.

Very disappointed with this item. It does not even blow enough air to move your hair, u would be better off turning on the car heater or a/c. This should not even be compared to a hair dryer or a car heater as described. Don't waste your money.

To start things off, the plastic package was half open when I took it out of the shipping box. Then, after the first 5 seconds of the first time using it, smoke started to come out of the back.

I got this even after reading the bad reviews because I wasn't going to use it as a hair dryer or defroster. So I didn't care, as long as the thing blew air. But it cant even get that right.

Don't waste your money. I'm returning this thing immediately.

6 Piece Value Combo Accessory Bundle Kit: Black Silicone Skin Case Cover + Car Charger + Travel Cha

• Package comes with 6 essential pieces of accessories for your Sony Walkman
• Include: One black silicone skin, One USB data cable, One travel wall charger
• One automobile car charger, One adjustable armband, One belt clip

I bought this kit for the case and figured anything else that came with it would be cheap or barely usuable. Surprisingly, the whole kit is a real value. The case is a snug fit and provides needed protection for my NWZ-A728 Walkman. The two chargers (AC and car) are very handy since I don't have to boot up my laptop each time to charge the Walkman. The extra USB cable is great since I can now leave one at home and one at work. I use the armband for those times I'm using the Walkman on a treadmill.

The only item that is so-so in the bundle is the beltclip. For some reason, it's white everything else in the kit is black. So of course, the clip clashes with the black case. The only thing missing from this combo kit is a screen protector but you can't have everything. And since Sony tends to use proprietary ports, it's not like you'll find a lot of options for generic, compatible cables elsewhere. So all-in-all, I'm quite pleased with the purchase. Recommended.

Want 6 Piece Value Combo Accessory Bundle Kit: Black Silicone Skin Case Cover + Car Charger + Travel Cha Discount?

The sole reason I bought this kit was for the battery charger...which happens to work just as I had hoped. The other items I really didn't need.

I couldn't beat the cost either...Sony charges 3 times for a charger alone, so the cost was well worth it.

Both the hard and soft cases are basically junk. Either they shipped the wrong ones ? or these are poorly designed. Only half the buttons are accessible with the soft case. The hard case does not secure the Walkman, it just slides around inside and the lower half of the control buttons are covered.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ Mo

Husky makes a fine product. These are the best liners made, hands down! They are not mats but rather they are liners. They have an edge that is turned up to contain any spills, mud, or anything else that might tend to run off the edge. They get dirty, you dump them out, hose them off, and you are done.

They stay in place very well and are molded to fit your car or truck. The tan ones matched my girlfriends jeep perfect. She loves them

These are the very best liners I have seen. Husky makes the very best as far as we are concerned. Had the same kind in the other jeep and forgot to take them out when we sold it! Great item--shipped very quickly.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Ford/Mazda/Mercury Models

I have a Mazda Tribute 2008, which is pretty much identical to the Ford Escape. These mats conform to the exact physical shape of the driver/front passenger floors, with maybe 1/2 inch space on one side or the other. I'm hoping with some of the Summer heat the mat settles down and that "gap" disappears. It's not a really big deal though. They are also made of a light material, which is fine. In the picture, you might get an impression that it is a heavy rubber material or something. I'm hoping they otherwise last, and I'm looking forward to the easy cleaning job, whereas the manufacturer mats it comes with I had to scrub all the time :)

Rapid Car Charger w/ IC Chip + Universal Windshield Car Mount Holder with Large Suction Cup for AT&

I bought this a couple weeks ago and had trouble with the one they sent me so i wrote to them about it, after a couple days they instantly sent me a new one free of charge, couldn't have asked for a more profesional company. i dealt with some companies that dont care if what you got is even as described.

so thank you for everything. Product works great and fits any device. maybe the only thing i would improve is to add directions but if you spend 5-10 min playing with it thats all you will need.

Very good car charger, comparable to those you will spend at least $10 on, and the holder included is very nice and durable. I thought at first I would throw away the holder and was just getting it for the price of the charger but in the end both were very good and I was very pleased with the product and price!

I'm the one who wrote a review on christmas, I'm back with an update.

I decided to test a few new things on it. I set the player at the end of a hallway at my college, and attempted to use the remote... I'll be darned, the thing worked from 40 feet away!

I popped in a cd+g (karaoke) cd.. Played it.

I am (as i type this) encoding episodes of my favorite show, Hikaru no Go, at a rate of 1300kbps mpeg2 with cq_vbr of 47, audio @ 32khz, 160kbps, stereo. Yes, I already told you this thing doesn't care about "standard compliance".

I found it's first no-no a few days ago.. It does not play mpeg videos with mp3 audio.. Don't blame it though, Windows Media Player still has issues with that type of video.

I am giving this puppy the 5 it really deserves. There are so many undocumented features in this lil powerhouse, you just need to go and get one, it will not be regretted.

Tuesday, a very bad thing happened.. It was dropped for the first time ever.. Picked it up, and the darn thing was still playing!

As for the disc mechinism issue some people have been having, thats what a warranty is for. I am happy to report that this puppy doesn't and hasn't had that issue yet.

Display is still very beautiful on it.

After these 3 months that I have had it, the casing is starting to wear on it, but this is due to me keeping it in my pocket (yes, it fits). I walk back and forth a long ways a few times a week, and this thing is perfectly happy being in my pocket, and the remote even works while in my pocket too.

I already wrote a review here, but after seeing my all-time favorite device getting poor reviews, these reviews are very different from what I have experienced. If you can, buy one. If it breaks, get a refund. It's that easy. I have owned a lot of portable electronic devices, but this is by far my favorite.

This little puppy earned me some cash too. I rented it out to friends of my relatives when they went to vegas, got $30 for one week rental. If it would have broken, and gotten reimbursed for the device, guess what.. I'd buy the exact same one again.

I am still finding out new things about this little powerhouse. I wasn't ever expecting this thing to be able to do so much. VCD, SVCD, XVCD, MPEG burned onto a regular ISO, it generates its own menu! If it ends in .mpg and is a video, there is a 99% chance this DVD player can play it from the CD, no need to even waste time making a VCD, i just burn all my videos onto a CD as an ISO now, it's a real time saver.

Seriously, go check out the review I submitted on Xmas. It will give you a much better review than the one I just left here. This is just an update really..

Buy Initial IDM-9520 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch LCD and Car Kit Now

I just recieved this DVD player today...and so far so good. I bought it for car trips, plane tripes, etc. I haven't experience the problems that seem to go along with the 9510 version. The screen is small, but that is the size it's advertised for, and I feel its more than sufficent for something so compact. The colors are good and despite the size the screen seems to have a pretty good resolution. Other than the battery SEEMS to only be able to recharge when off the system,(keep in mind I'm figuring it out) it seems to be a wonderful little machine. Well worth the money, very compact and affordable. Should any problems arise I will rereview, but up to this point I give it 5 stars!

I just received this player yesterday and I played around with it last night. Picture for such a small screen is not bad. All the buttons and the remote work. Played through Return of the Jedi and everything was great. If you are looking for a cheap protable then this would be it. Now as for its bad points. It is a bit loud on startup and you can hear when it skips tracks and such but not overbearing. The AC adapter gets really warm. I had it hooked up to charge the battery and unplugged it because I was afraid it would start a fire...lol. Also on the chapter screen and optoins screen the highlights are hard to see. But overall good little player...enjoy.

I am thrilled with this little player! It is my favorite toy. I was a little concerned about some of the negative aspects that other reviewers pointed out, but I decided that the positive outweighted the negative and gave it try. Am I glad I did! I take it to work to watch on breaks and at lunch and fits in my handbag.

I admit that I have not tried all the functions and have always used the A/C adapter so I can't offer an opinion on the battery capacity as yet, but for a simple, portable way to watch your favorite movies on the go, it's great. The picture is fine and the sound is not bad either(better with headphones).

If you are looking for a good value, this is it.

Added on 4/12/05: I have had this player for over eight months now, and still have not had one bit of trouble with it even though I use it almost every day on my lunch hour. I don't know if I was just lucky when other reviewers were not, but I still highly recommend it.

I wrote a bad review because the dvd player froze

and acted like the other bad reviews.

Tried it one more time before sending it back.

Now it works great.

it plays and plays. I deleted my last review.

I love this player. Took it on a trip in the car

and not a problem.

Picture great,sound through head phones is wonderful.

UPDATE:

Had player for a month with a lot of use.

works awesome.

took on another trip and worked perfect.

UPDATE #2

Had the player since august and now its december and i still love it.

not once has it froze up and i use it a lot.

i don't know why in the beginning i had trouble with

the freeze up but when i was ready to send it back

i tried one more time and not one problem since.

Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer

I purchased one of these to charge some sealed lead acid batteries, and it works like a champ. Hook it up to the battery, plug it in and let it do its thing.

That being said, there are a couple of quirks the user should be aware of. The % capacity display is not at all accurate. It will typically state that a battery is 95% full, then increase slowly until saying it is fully charged, and on maintaining. I used this with several 9Ah 12V batteries, and some 8.5Ah 6V batteries. All of these were tested before & after with a BK Precision 601 professional battery analyzer. The readings never agreed, but that is not necessarily a problem.

BK Precision 601 Battery Capacity Analyzer

While the $400+ BK 601 is a great tool, it is not necessary to know the precise values of capacity, load and no-load voltage or internal resistance (unless you want to know these things of course!) If you are maintaining SLA batteries of a smaller capacity, say anywhere from 3 to 20Ah or so, just hook up the Schumacher and ignore the initial reading. If it says 95%, the capacity might be 80% or might be 45% (I saw readings higher and lower on the 601) No matter. Let the Schumacher charge until it says 'Fully Charged' or 'battery maintaining'. But do not stop charging just yet. At that point, the actual capacity might only be at 95 or 97% (as verified by the 601). Let it go another 15 minutes or half an hour. Then go ahead and disconnect. By that time, nearly all the batteries I tested were at the full 100% according to the BK 601.

If the battery is too far gone, the Schumacher will let you know. There are a few batteries here and there that will accept a charge from the Schumacher, but may not perform as well as new batteries. Outside of a professional analyzer, there is not much you can do about them. They will work, but may only have 90% or so of the charge. The Schumacher does as best as it can with them.

It also oworked well at auto-detecting 6V batteries. Very simple to use, and for easy operation and good performance, and a great price, I give it 5 stars. Just be aware of its limitations.

After receiving this gadget, I realize that I probably could have used the smaller SP2 unit, but now that I've had it a few weeks, I'm quite pleased with how it works.

It is pretty large, but still only about a quarter the sise of a car charger. It's roughly the size of a brick, and has a big LED readout that tells you what it's doing readable from a good distance.

So far, I've only used the alligator clips for my motorcycle battery, but this also comes with a connector that you can attach permanently to the battery and has a simple connector to the charger cord. That means you don't have to remove the seat to hook up the charger. That seems pretty useful, and if I ever decide to unhook my battery and risk losing all the settings on my stereo, I'll install it.

I think something like this is essential in places that have a proper winter that keeps you from riding for weeks at a time.

I love his little charger. I had been using old technology that only displays amperage. This charger shows you voltage and percentage of charge. Automatically selects battery voltage and type. Maintains battery at correct voltage and current to keep it float charged and avoid overcharging and damage. It's a keeper! Keep in mind it is a maintenance charger, not a high current deep charger.

Want Schumacher SP3 Automatic Battery Extender / Maintainer Discount?

I bought this battery "extender" to maintain the battery in my two-year-old, rarely-driven garage queen. When I first attached the unit, it said it was analyzing the battery, then reported that it was 5% charged, and proceeded to begin charging. The car had been sitting for three weeks, so I was not alarmed at the battery's condition. It has now been 48 hours, and display says the battery is at 91% charge, the same thing it said twelve hours ago. So either my like-new battery can no longer take a full charge, or this unit is flawed in some way.

Other than this odd behavior, I like the SP3. It tells you what it's doing, takes up little space, and comes with a few different connection options.

One last thing. The manual that comes in the box is brief and omits information--like the connection options. I found a better copy online, but that should not be necessary.

Here is an update: after four days of charging (!), the unit finally switched over to "Maintaining", so all seems well.

Curt Manufacturing 52022 Lockable Battery Box

This little battery box is well made, with a snap down lid that overlaps the sides enough to discourage, if not prevent, water entry. Drain holes in the bottom prevent any water from accumulating inside. I am using it to mount a battery switch and circuit breaker for an electric trolling motor in an open boat that has no instrument panel. The box provides plenty of protection from spray and rain for the connections and wiring inside. It is compact and is easily mounted on a flat surface by means of flanges with pre-drilled holes on either side. It has a wire access hole that will accommodate 8 AWG wire. It would be easy to drill a hole for larger gauge wire if necessary.

What can you really say about a simple battery box? The answer is...a bit more than you think.....first of all, the Curt Mfg box at about $10.00/unit is up to 3X as cost effective as many other similar models.....I'm a polymer expert....it looks like black co polymer utility poly propylene....for this application cant get much better....no corrosion, impact resistent, etc....also, unlike some UPE boxes. you can drill this easily for wire port access....its a consideration? Now to design, its lid is firm, seals well, locks in place and has a small paddlock hole if you want....complete utility in my view.....the perpendicular mounting plate has 2 holes....very flexible.....all in all, this unit deserves a 5 star....cheaper is not necessairly better, but in this case, you get it all......rock & roll Curt!!!!

Thinking about buying another iPhone charger?

1) Be careful to buy one that actually works (seriously). Apple has proprietary tech that each manufacturer licenses allowing the charger to communicate with the phone. Some cheapos don't incorporate the tech and wind up not actually charging the phone (for example, see this: USB Cable + Wall Charger for Apple Iphone 3g Ipod Touch Nano )

2) This charger is built out of (comparatively) high-quality materials and can hold up to being shoved in luggage/backpacks/purses/whatever

3) The cable can be used just by itself (has a USB end that goes into the wall plug)

4) The plug is ridiculously ginormous. I guess that's why it swivels, so this big hog can fit in a power strip regardless of plug orientation. (I assume they saved money making it so unnecessarily big.)

5) The connector firmly connects to the apple device (again quality build)

6) iPhone chargers are pricey, this is one of the cheapest that is built well

7) This one is eligible for Amazon Prime shipping

This is the second one of these I'm buying, because of price/value/reliability. I have both nicer and cheaper ones. Despite it's faults, this one seems "just right". 1 star off because the plug is so big.

I bought this charger for my iPod touch 4. I needed a wall charger for our trip to Europe. It worked perfectly! It charges the iPod much faster than the USB. I'm not sure if the faster charge affects battery life, though. Anyway, with a European plug adapter this charger worked just as well with Europe's 110 volt power as it does here. As a bonus the USB cord that comes with it seems to be of an even better quality than the Apple cord.

This is an 1amp charger, so it's not for an iPad. I got it for my iPod touch 4G. The cable that came with it is thicker like the other viewers said, and unlike some other Belkin cables, this one can be used for both charge and sync. The cable is a bit longer than the original apple one too. Overall this appears to be well made and worth what you paid for. Will update review if I should find it different after some use.

Interstate Batteries 12V 7.2Ah Sealed Batter IBSBSL1075

I am completely happy with this Interstate battery, which is an exact replacement for the original battery that was installed with my FIOS service. It seemed to cost a bit more than some others of the same size, but Interstate is a brand that I like (and trust), so I paid a small premium for this battery. It seems worth it, however, particularly given that the beeping sound from the FIOS unit has ceased. It fits perfectly into the FIOS wall box, and the terminals are spot on, fit-wise. Delivery on time and in good condition. Satisfied.

Its a battery. What can I say? It charged up. It works. Got here in very good time.

I used this to replace the backup battery of my alarm system. My alarm system company wanted $70 for a service visit plus $40 for the battery. This battery is the same brand that they use and is as easy to change as the AA battery in your typical flashlight. It charged quickly and has worked perfectly since installation. As for those who are reporting problems with other sellers, I ordered mine from a company called Cream City Hobbies and the battery was Interstate, exactly as described. I no longer see them listed as an Amazon seller and cant vouch for the other sellers listed.

XS Power D3400 XS Series 12V 3,300 Amp AGM High Output Battery with M6 Terminal Bolt

I originally ordered my D3400 from Crutchfield. Installed it as a main battery and it performs brilliantly. Engine starts no problem, and it was powering a Crescendo 2K, and MB Quart Onx4.125 amp with no dimming on a stock alt. I eventually decided to go bigger with my install and called on Amazon for the order, since they offer very fast shipping. Installed 2 more D3400s in the rear, and they power 5K of amps just fine. Upgraded the alt to 250a, because I needed the power but these batteries are very good. The only thing is they are very heavy, but that's to be expected from a larger battery. Compare it to the Yellow Top Optimas and I would say the XS Power is a much better performer. Resting voltage is around 12.8 with mine so they hold a really good charge. Definitely buy these if you are planning a stereo and can fit it. I would install one as a starter battery, and the D3100 in the rear if you are installing a high demanding stereo set up.

Best Battery Ever this is the 4th one of these batteries 2 in my Tahoe, 1 in Mitsubishi Eclipse and 1 in my 73 Camaro Muscle car with a big block! has no prblem running 2400W RMS stereo full out! you need this for car stereo beef ups

Thunderbolt Solar Panel Kit 45 Watt

Solar power is an amazing resource. Capturing a tiny drop of the sun's massive nuclear-reactive power (386 billion billion megaWatts) is a fascinating concept.

I've been interested in solar power for years, but my interest went into high gear when I became involved in Ham Radio. (Currently, I have my "General Ticket" and I'm working on my "Extra".)

Learning how to tap into auxiliary power sources is an important part of being involved in Ham (Amateur) Radio. After all, what good is it to have a Ham Radio if you can't use it when the power goes out?

I have a good friend who's been involved in Ham Radio for several years, and he highly recommended this "solar system." This is the very set that my friend had hooked up at his house. In fact, he was so pleased with the first system that he went back and bought a second set. He was most impressed with the "solar controller" which is discussed more below.

After several tours of a friend's "Ham Shack," and after receiving several helpful tutorials on this topic from my friend, I was ready to take the plunge.

It took about 12 hours to install the whole rig, and my oh my, it was a fun project. And watching those photovoltaic cells turn the sunlight into electricity is every bit as fascinating as I'd thought it would be.

If I were queen of the world (and it shouldn't be long now), I'd recommend that every homeowner in America have a set of these on their roof.

The controller that came with the solar panels is quite impressive. It has a digital display that's large and easy to read, and shows the remaining voltage in the battery power. The unit is made of aluminum and the knobs are solid and sure.

Another nice bonus that came with this set are two of these 12-volt LED lights. They do a good job of illuminating the dark corners of our little shed, where this unit is now installed.

Hubby and I spent countless hours figuring out the correct angle for the panels, and it varies, depending on the time of year. There were many factors such as the big old tall trees in our yard. After the "Solar System" was all set up, we were both AMAZED and pleased to see that it started charging immediately. What was so amazing? It was a dark, cold, gloomy overcast day.

I highly recommend this unit. The PVC frame is well-made and *fairly* sturdy and it's easy to assemble. Best of all, this system really works. One caveat, you'll need to buy a deep cycle marine battery (about $140) and a good quality inverter (I recommend at least 750 watts). Expect to spend another $60+ for the inverter.
