Black & Decker PI100BB Inverter

Black & Decker PI100BB InverterI'm using this small inverter in a PV system to turn on an array of 110V garden lights (a total of 40 Watts) for 4 hours every night and it has been working faultlessly the last two months. The fan is a bit noisy but tolerable. Happy with this product so far.

Purchased this product to have handy in the car just in case. Took it to Florida with us when we drove to charge up the laptop and it works fine. Actually used it during "Sandy" to charge up the laptop and cell phones when the power in our house was out for several days. The USB insert is a nice surprise since I was able to charge my Kindle on it too. It is a bit bulky and you can hear the fan whirling, but its not obnoxiously loud and if you have your radio on you don't even notice it.

Good product, very comfortable and convenient. The product was shipped in accordance with the provisions. Makes an annoying noise while connected (supportable), moreover, recommended.

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

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

Innovic EC30 Multifunctional 4 in 1 Car Digital Clock, In/Out Thermometer, Voltage Monitor with sta

Innovic EC30 Multifunctional 4 in 1 Car Digital Clock, In/Out Thermometer, Voltage Monitor with stand and magic tape
  • Indoor temperature range: -20°C - +70°
  • Outdoor temperature range: -50°C - +70°C
  • Total dimensions: 13.5 x 3.5 x 2.5cm
  • Sensor cable length: 1.4m
  • Screen colour: backlight orange or blue (selectable)

Since I moved to an area where temps freeze my windshield, I have wanted an indoor/outdoor thermometer for my car. This one fills the bill, and has a self contained battery that operates the clock and thermometer. You will need to use the car plug if you want to monitor your voltage.

You install by running the outdoor temp cord under the dashboard. The instructions suggest that you place the outdoor sensor on the edge of the car door. This will keep it from picking up engine heat. You will lopikely want to use some of your own tape to help guide the cord. The indoor sensor is built into the clock. When reading, the instructions state that you alternate between outdoor and indoor temps, but both appear on my screen.

I spent some time comparing the temps before installing this, and found them to be very close to what my other thermometer read. Best of all, it will give a warning if the outside temps are below freezing, or if your voltage gets too low.

I had no idea that these were available in this price range, and while it isn't high quality, it is a nice addition to the car for a low price. I am grateful that Innovic allowed me to test a complimentary one on my car so that I could consider it for review. Since the voltage meter isn't critical for me, I only wish this didn't take up my only car plug, since I use it often to keep my phone charged.

I searched around the internet for awhile until I came across the 4-in-1 Monitor for only $16.50. This was the best price I could find anywhere for something that could provide both the regular clock display in my old Jeep and at the same time provide some other nifty features. I have some headlamps and other off-road gear (winch and tire jack) that I never knew could put such a drain on the battery. I always just monitor it for fun now, never actually had an issue with it going out of range.

I've found the temperature gauge is really accurate. It always agrees with what other people's car read within a degree or two. Sometimes the internal temperature readings may get skewed because it sits really close to the AC vent, but who cares? You know how hot or cold it is inside the car. Outside the car is what you want to know and it does a pretty good job.

Took about an hour and a half to install. Read the manual and get the long wire routed through wherever you need it to go before making sure you have the proper connections made. The best part about the thing is the clock it's easy to program and has a really bright LCD display. In full sun in the surf of the beach or a dark campsite at night, you can see the readings clearly no matter what.

Nice little gage. Voltage display is very easy to read day or night. You can easily switch the back light color from blue to amber. I placed the "outside" temp. sensor inside the engine area so its reads the amient air temp around the engine. Its not water proof, but, I've been through some light rain without any issues. My only issue is the votlage part of the gage reads about a 1/2 volt low. Thought it might be votlage drop at the place where I hooked it up but my fluke meter reads full votlage at the same location. Hence only 4 stars instead of 5.

This product looks exactly as pictured. i purchased this product primarily for the clock. The clock is in 24 hour format all the time, no way to switch it. the temp sensors seem way off and the voltage display fluctuates all the time from 13.2 .4.2.3.4.2.3 14.1.2.1.2.4.3 (kinda distracting). the backlight looks nice in amber and matches my Mazdas interior nicely and is easy to read. the blue back light, however, is hard to read, especially at nite. the unit is hard to mount as it comes with a little 1" inch velcro tab on the back as well as a flip down foot, however it doesn't stay in any one position as it is not notched or anything, and will fall backwards if you dont prop it up with something. the wires come out of the right side (probably meant for right handed car) and the unit seems a bit bulky especially if you have the plug it into a 12v cig port(of which i had to get a splitter) just to get the back light to turn on; and if your cig port doesn't turn-off when you turn off your car, then you would have to unplug it every time you parked. also the unit uses a small watch battery to power the unit without the backlight. would be nice to have maybe a AAA or something more standard (just a thought)...... this unit did however work well on my motocycle 8)

This looks great, as long as you're looking at it straight on. Even the slightest angle of viewing and it disappears not too many places in the car to mount it where you'll be staring straight at it.

It's a shame pretty cool little gadget, but the cheap display makes it pretty much useless.

Ballistic EVO2 50 Dry LiFePO4 Motorcycle Battery 80CCA

Ballistic EVO2 50 Dry LiFePO4 Motorcycle Battery 80CCAInstalled the 16 cell unit to replace a conventional lead acid battery in our vintage race car. Double the CCA with a 16 lb reduction in weight. Unfortunately it didn't even last 1 hour. It failed completely, going from 13.2 v to.6 v in a heart beat.

There are not instructions about having to mount it to protect from vibrations and I have never had to do so to any battery over 40 years of running race cars. So far my email to Ballistic has gone unanswered concerning the warranty and why it should fail from vibration.

I purchased a spare so I will install it for the next test day and see if it lasts any longer. I will follow up after the test day. But for me the jury is out.

NOCO IGD90HP Grey 90 Amp High-Performance Battery Isolator

NOCO IGD90HP Grey 90 Amp High-Performance Battery IsolatorBought this for a particular application that I admit I didn't think through. I wanted to charge 2 12V deep cycle batteries from one Solar Regulator. This Item does not allow the MPPT regulator to sample battery voltage in order to know what state the battery is in, it is a ONE WAY CURRENT DEVICE. Thats my fault, I didnt research that before bought it and in retrospect, its obvious. there is a work around with 0.25amp fuses, and having done that, this isolator works perfectly. Would recommend it anyone with the added info that the charger must be an old school resistive charger (like a car alternator or one of those non-smart chargers you see in automotive yards).

Short story: It Works Cant be used with smart chargers that need "feedback" from the battery, but it works.

I separated the batteries on my camping trailer and used this to seperate the charging system. It works well, but doesn't provide feedback for chargers.

Goal Zero 11102 Sherpa 120 Battery

Goal Zero 11102 Sherpa 120 BatteryThis is a superbly designed and built product, at least from the couple of days I've had it. I'll update the review if my impressions change.

One thing I want to mention right away: the power pack itself is only 2.2 pounds in weight. For some reason various sources of this information show anywhere between 4 and 5 pounds. All the other accessories that come in the box are lightweight as well. The included AC adapter with cords is very lightweight and small and the 12V cigarette plug is as well. Too often we find that the main object of interest, like a laptop for example, has an attractive weight specified but comes with a massive AC brick and cables that weigh as much as the thing itself. Not so here.

Physically, however, the Sherpa 120 is quite a big thing, about the size of a Webster's dictionary (if any of you remember those :-) or a really big Fodor's travel book. Make sure this meets your needs. It is not a petite device.

So far I have used the power pack to test out running a ResMed S9 CPAP machine (CPAP only, not humidifier/heater) with an inverter, and it powers it successfully for a full 8 hours on a full charge. That pretty much meets the 120 watt-hour spec, as the machine averages around 15 watts (including loss in the inverter and S9's AC adapter). A full charge from AC takes 4 hours as specified. Construction quality is first rate.

Only one issue so far: there is no indication of how to charge the power pack from a 12V source, although that charging method is given in the specifications. The charging plug is labeled as needing 15.3V. I will have to hunt down how to do that. I would have appreciated a 12V plug cable for charging in the box.

A potential issue is how TSA treats this. This device qualifies as a "larger" spare lithium ion battery and, judging by the watt-hour rating, has about 10 grams of equivalent lithium content (ELC) -. This is perfectly acceptable as a carry on according to DOT guidelines (see -up to two such "spare" batteries with ELC up to 25 grams may be in carry-on luggage; cannot be in checked luggage). But the particular TSA inspector at a given gate on a given day may have other ideas.

UPDATE: To charge this device from 12VDC source, you have to buy a separate adapter: a male cigarette to 4.7mm adapter, from Goalzero.com. It's $15 so not too bad. Also I'm not sure why Amazon had to delete the links I put in the main review -they were to dot.gov web pages showing info about FAA treatment of li-ion batteries.

FURTHER UPDATE (7/14/11): Just back from a 3-week African trip which was the reason for buying this battery in the first place, to power my CPAP machine when we did not have electricity available at night. It worked perfectly and TSA as well as foreign airline security inspections never even looked at it. Total non-issue. I even used it on the plane to power the machine (clear this ahead of time with the airline though).

This review is for the Goal Zero Sherpa 120 battery Goal Zero Sherpa 120 Battery.

I bought this battery to use on a backwoods trip to run a CPAP machine while I sleep. 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 37watts a night on 120v).

In field testing and subsequent follow up this is how I would rate the battery. The battery nicely holds a good charge and delivers the full capacity before going into a sleep state to protect itself from over discharging. I used the Nomad 27 solar panels to charge it and found that given my needs they were plenty large enough to top it off every day. To protect the battery which is a very key component to the system (in fact the one piece you must have), spend the extra few bucks on the silicone protective cover.

The battery holds as much power as advertised, I've measured it several times and it continues to perform well. The Goal Zero system connects and works well. The only plug that seems slightly loose is the output plug on the battery. The other connectors are nice and sufficient. The output one should snap to give you extra security that your device will remain powered. For portable operation focus on using 12v loads directly and make sure you are running your necessary equipment as efficiently as possible to maximize your run times. If you can get away without using an inverter, all of your devices will run longer from a fixed battery capacity, plus your weight will be physically lighter.

One important thing to note, if you leave the battery unattended for 30 days or more, it goes into a deep sleep even shutting down the display and internal circuits (to conserve power). When you turn it on again it'll appear discharged (the screen shows only 1 bar) but it really is holding the charge well. You can measure with a Watts-Up to see the voltage, but the logic they use to calculate how much charge remains needs to know the last total charge and it can't know that until you recharge it. If you plug it into the solar or wall charger for a bit (~20 min if was off for 30 days) it'll snap back and realize that it's actually fully charged. Tip: If you have a system and want to see what this deep sleep state looks like, you can simulate this for yourself by removing and then replacing the fuse on the back of the unit.

In the posted pictures my battery has a Silicone sleeve to protect it. I highly recommend buying the sleeve to protect your battery. Goal Zero 91105 Black Small Silicone Sleeve for Sherpa 120

*** Update: July 2,2012 I've used this battery on dozens of trips, camping, canoe trips, even a dive trip (on the boat) and it continues to work great. I've found I use the USB port often now to recharge my additional devices (cell phone, GoPro camera etc). This has been a very dependable battery and I'm glad I have it. This battery along with my 12v charger and solar panels gives me great freedom while maintaining power in the field.

To start let me tell you.......I love this product......it work better then I thought it would.......seems like it takes forever to have to recharge it.......that all being said.....the third time I recharged it.... the battery had a melt down......know I didnt send in my warrenty card and thats my fault....I dont hold this against the company....but after it had its melt down I got to looking on the web.....and found that many people have had the same probelm with these batterys.......know if they are melting down cause of a defect in the product....I think the company should replace the battery with or without the warrenty card......so needless to say I wont be wasting another 300 bucks on this battery........

You might get lucky and get one that doesnt melt down and I can tell you......your going to love it....if it works.......just send in your warrenty card.......everything I have read on the web says they good about replacing.......

Quick Update......8-11-12........I see that goal zero doesnt make these anymore....atleast they are no longer on there website......Guess enough people complained about them they just stopped making them.

I have had my Sherpa 120, and a 50, for more than a year now. I have put them through some pretty rough conditions as I often leave them in my car for long periods of time. With that they have braved 100+ degree temps and right around freezing. I have dropped both several times. Both of these units have survived and are still working flawlessly. These battery packs are great and are incedibly well constructed.

Schumacher IP-95C Jump Starter & Air Compressor

Schumacher IP-95C Jump Starter & Air CompressorI bought this product Schumacher IP-95C Jump Starter and I am totatly disapointed with it. It has failed everytime to jump start any vehicle with dead battery. Before I purchased this, I was stranded on the Lake with a dead battery and I was introduced to this type of compact jump starter when someone offered to help. They had a Duralast brand and it jump started my V-8 boat with no problem. I was stupid and went with what I thought was a much better brand. No Way!! I am stuck with this piece of crap and absolutely no support from Schumacher. They would not even let me pay the difference to upgrade to higher amp hour unit. Their ridiculous response was that these units are not designed to start dead batteries????????? The only way I can interpret this is this unit will only work if your battery is still turning your starter. What good does this do if your battery is not turning starter!!!!This unit will do nothing if you are getting a click click click from your starter. The biggest joke yet was the fact that this unit would not even start my motorcycle when I tried conecting to my battery. Much smaller battery than car or boat!!!! Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Any suggestions, help or responses to my review would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, RICH4120

bought this product as I have a 20year old car that was idle for the winter. I used my other cars to jump start it a few times but this is so much easy and better! once I started using the car it died at rush hour just off the exit ramp in a very busy intersection, on a dark and rainy night. I used the Schumacher IP-95C and was able to get out of that dangerous situation and managed to get the rest of the way home safely. No trying to get another car into an already busy and congested intersection, just raise the hood and connect this product and that was it. it. The car started immediately and I quickly got out a very dangerous situation. I've also used it on my lawn tractor this spring. excellent product, I only wish it had another foot on each battery connector. it has an air compressor as well and I've used it to re-inflate car tire and spare without issue and very quickly.

So far so good. A lot lighter than my old one, which was working fine except my son needed it more than me.

I've used the pump to re-inflate my exercise ball, wheelbarrow tire and the tire on my portable generator.

I've jumped the car battery twice and I love the fact that an extension cord plugs right in with no hunting for the right wall charger to use. I'll bet there are 6 different ones in the garage, for weed whackers etc. I also love the fact that it is so light. The old one was tough for me to lift out of the car with my bad back. Still haven't had the need to use the CSB port. But I'm sure I'll need to charge my cell phone one of these day's out in the woods fishing.

So far I would highly recommend it to anyone, with the exception of my son!.

Got free two day shipping with prime and it showed up a day early.

I bought a brand new 16GB micro SD card with adapter because when I tried to put in a card with data on it, it wouldn't format it.

I installed this mirror so that the power cord is hidden underneath the roof carpet and trim panels. It looks good this way because it prevents the cord from hanging down in front of you. It looks more professional.

Recording with both cameras at the same time shows up choppy on the display ONLY WHILE RECORDING. Once the file has been saved and you go back to watch it, the video is a lot smoother.

I like that you can turn off the screen while you drive and it still records. This makes it much easier to actually use the mirror and if you are recording on the mirrors battery it will save some juice.

The night vision works fairly well. The leds are infrared so they wont obstruct your vision while recording. It records better than expected at night.

Make sure you set up the time accurately so the time stamp will be correct if an accident occurs.

This mirror works very well, I will post a second review if it stops working correctly.

Goodyear i5000 Cordless Tire Inflator and 12-Volt Power Pack

Goodyear i5000 Cordless Tire Inflator and 12-Volt Power PackReceived the pump when promissed, so far it has worked as advertised. I really like the auto shut off when the tire pressure reaches your selected pressure. Some advice, if you set the pressure for 32 pounds of pressure and the tire pressure is already at 32 psi or HIGHER the pump will not start, it only starts when the tire pressure is BELOW what you set psi for. I have already used it for the kids soccor balls, my vehicle tires (Ford F150) and my travel trailer tires, with air pumps that need to be plugged in the a power source, this would not work on my travel trailer because the standard 10 foot power cord would be too short for me to reach the trailer tires!. It also came in handy when having to winterize my travel trailer by pressurizing the water lines to blow out the water from the lines. Also, a great price for the convenience of not needing to plug it in to an outlet or cigarette lighter!

Very good machine, works like a champ. Wish it would tell me when it's full, rather than NOT starting on a tire that is already at full charge. It took me a while to realize this "feature". Great to be wireless!

Be aware that you must cool the unit for 10 minutes after running it for 10 minutes so it doesn't burn out. I added about 4 psi to my vehicle tires and it ran for less than a minute per tire. It runs quiet for an inflator. The built-in lighted dial guage is very accurate, but kind of hard to read because the marks are small and close together.

Setting the target pressure is easy, you just twist the guage until a pointer lines up with the psi you want. The inflator automatically shuts off at that pressure and it is accurate and consistent. No switching back and forth between filling and checking with a separate tire guage and bleeding air to hit the target pressure. The setting stays until you move it again, so you can bring all your tires to the same pressure without re-setting it for each tire. No fuss like with a digital one. Super convenient.

I recommend charging the battery immediately after use and keeping it fully charged at all times. The lead acid battery will have the longest lifetime that way. Once the battery gives out, the only way to run it is directly powered from a 12V vehicle outlet.

The manual and the labelling of switches and sockets is a little confusing, but operation is not overly complicated. There are two switches and two power ports. You'll figure it out.

You could burn it out with a big job like completely filling an RV tire, raft, air tank, etc. unless you stop every 10 minutes. As long as you stay within the limits, this will be a good tool. Probably the most convenient way to maintain vehicle tire pressures.

Works great. This item has a way of pre-selecting the amount of tire pressure and you let it run until the tire is properly inflated. Good buy.

The unit I received may be partially defective but it is difficult to know if this is due a failure or poor design.

The monitor comes with two power cables, one for a permanent wired connection and a second for cigarette lighter/power port connection. I have not been able to get a picture from the camera with the power port cable even though the monitor does turn on. The first power cable has 3 wires. One for ground, +12 volts, and a blue wire which connects to the backup lights. The blue wire functions as a control signal to automatically turn on the monitor when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. When this cable is used and the blue wire is connected the monitor will receive the picture from the camera.

The buttons for changing brightness, color, and picture rotation are frequently non-responsive. If you are able to rotate the picture it does not stay in the orientation selected after power is removed and then restored.

The user manual is a two page document which is nothing more than a how-to for connecting the wires, a list of included parts, and the name or function for each of the push buttons. No information on how to operate it. The manufacturer's website has nothing more than the two page user manual and an option for emailing tech support. There is no list of FAQs or support forum.

It took a long time to get this product and if I had more time before the trip I purchased it for, I would return it. I would not buy this unit again.

The first one of these that I bought had a screen that was not on straight, and it rattled like a screw had fallen off inside. So I sent it back for a replacement. The second one looked fine, so I took it to a place whose specialty is installing such hardware. After sitting at the shop for a couple hours, I was told that it simply did not work. The guy warned me that the wireless units were basically junk, and the next time I do this, I should get one that is wired. So I had to pay $40 per hour for labor installing and uninstalling a piece of junk that "simply did not work". That being said, I bought these from the Amazon Marketplace rather than an individual seller. When I contacted them about both defective units, they were extremely polite, courteous, and helpful. They immediately sent me a prepaid shipping label via email. I requested a refund after the second unit proved to be a dud, and as soon as they got it back in the mail, my money was refunded. Not being able to install a backup camera was unpleasant and stressful enough. But Amazon's response mitigated much of it, and I thank them for it.

I tried one and the camera portion did not work. I reordered and the camera for unit #2 did not work either.

Under a hundred bucks, good deal.

Does a good job. I'v been happy with it. Not very good with electronics, but installed it myself anyway, and it was not that difficult. I like the small size of this monitor, limited on space, it was the right choice. I have used it several times over the last couple months, and the system has been fine. Good picture, decent night vision, good backup camera.

I bought this PYLE (aptly named) from Amazon and hence from ANTonline. I had a professional install it but it doesn't work. The monitor seems! to work but the camera is dead the LED lights do not come on. The lead into the camera is "hot" but nothing. I have tried to contact someone about getting suggestions RE: getting it fixed or returning it or just what can I do? It seems as though when one buys one of these things they wash their hands of the whole deal. I certainly would NOT recommend buying this or any other product if their customer service remains so poor.

2000-2008 Ford Focus Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob w/ Free DIY Programming Instructions

2000-2008 Ford Focus Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob w/ Free DIY Programming InstructionsI received this product very promptly. Matter of fact the very next day. Product was easy to program to my car's computer system. Included programing instructions were right on the money. I would purchase again.

I have had this remote for a few weeks now and I will say since I bought my car second hand it didn't come with a remote but this one was extremely easy to program, less than 5 minutes to be approximate. It also comes with instructions for the cars that it does support so if you don't have your original owners manual you wont need it. And best of all this is Way cheaper than an OEM remote from Ford themselves. Only con I found is that the OEM remotes seem to work further than this one but if your not the type that hits your panic button to find your car in a parking lot, then this remote will work just fine for you.

I bought these remotes for my 2000 Focus and they didn't program. I followed the instructions that were provided and they still wouldn't work. I then tried to program them on another focus and they still didn't work. I took them and attempted to program them to an explorer, and voila! They programmed. I don't know whether I was shipped the right thing or not, but they weren't for the vehicle I bought them for.

Schumacher IP-1800I Instant Power 950 Peak Amps Jump Starter with 18Ah Internal Battery

Schumacher IP-1800I Instant Power 950 Peak Amps Jump Starter with 18Ah Internal BatteryThis Schumacher is great to have along in my outdoor excusions that take me into very remote areas. Feel so much more secure with all that extra jump starting power. I drive an X-Terra into the north Maine Woods area every winter; not a whole lot of human interaction

there so if feels good to have extra cranking power available. This model actually held up to several cold weather jumps on 4-wheel drives with juice left over to

power my computer, boom box, and utility light. Most folks probably would get buy with less cranking Amps but I feel so much more secure with extra juice.

Amazon had the best price that I have come across.

Travel in the cold, remote, dark, solo? The Schulmacher

makes it a bit more assuring. -Bootleg

I primitive camp at rendezvous and this unit keeps my cell phone chatged, my kindle fire charged and powers my laptop... Doesn't sound very primitive does it. lol

The options available on this model are great, the problem is that the batteries are faulty. I should have headed the warnings others gave in reviews but I figured I'd give it a shot. The problem is the internal battery would not take a charge, not even once. When it arrived I followed the directions and left it on the charger over 72 hours, after all that there was no charge at all so I put it back on for 4 days, after that the orange charge status light came on for about 5 seconds then it went red again. Log story short I tried charging a few more times and nothing worked, amazon will not take that as a return item but after talking to customer service they refunded me the entire amount, now I have to deal with disposing of this thing. I did end up buying a similar product made by Duracell, works perfectly.

I haven't tried to jump start my v8 engine yet, but the 110 outlets operate most household appliances. Very user friendly. If it fails to jump start my car I will add more at that time.
