HQRP 10 Amp 12V / 24V Solar Charge Power Controller / Regulator 10A 150W with LED Indicator plus HQRP UV Chain / UV Radiation Health Tester
  • HQRP® Solar Charge Controller plus HQRP® UV Chain / UV Radiation Health Tester;
  • Equalisationvoltage: 14.8 Volt; High voltage disconnect: 14.4;

  • Low voltage reconnect: 12.6 Volt; Self-consumption: 6mA maximum;
  • Terminals: for wire sizes to 6mm2; PWM charge mode & state of charge (SOC). 200 days warranty!

I ordered and received two charge controllers for solar applications. One unit was installed on a 200w BP solar panel to charge a car battery. The second was installed in an automatic gate opener with a small PV panel and a small auto battery. The chargers were robust mechanically, and the cinch connectors for the wires were just right for the size wires required.

Good success.

New OEM Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4, and iPod USB Wall Charger with Sync Cable

New OEM Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4, and iPod USB Wall Charger with Sync Cable
  • The OEM Apple iPhone 3G/3GS/4, and iPod USB Wall Charger with Sync Cable comes widely respected.

I purchased two of these as spares for my iPhone 4 and my original iPad. They do look and feel just like the original Apple ones, but neither of them worked at all. Plugged them in to the wall, attached to my device NOTHING. Did not charge, did not show the "This Device is Not Made for an iPhone" message nothing. I did try the cable with my factory block and it worked, so it is the power block itself. Even worse, the company offers free shipping, but upon returning the devices they charge $3 EACH for shipping (deducted from return). I would stay away at all costs.

This says it is an OEM Apple product. It is not, there is nothing on either piece that says Apple or has the Apple logo. It also claims to work on 3rd Gen iPod touches. It does not. The message comes up that the device will not charge. Someone should be able to remove lying items from Amazon.

The first thing I did when this POS arrived was compare it to the one that came with my wife's iPhone to see if it was legit. And the first thing I noticed was that instead of it being "Made by Apple", is was "Made by Abble"! Even the copyright notice was Abble instead of Apple. Then, the flippen USB doesn't even sit flush in the port. It sticks out! Horrible...buy the best and eff the rest.

PowerStation PSX Multi-Purpose Rugged Vehicle Utility Jump Starter and Air Compressor

PowerStation PSX Multi-Purpose Rugged Vehicle Utility Jump Starter and Air Compressor
  • 12 Volt power source
  • Portable vehicle jumpstart, 18 ampere-hour battery with jumper cables
  • High pressure air compressor
  • LED work light
  • Carbon fiber face for added ruggedness

I thought this charger was the greatest thing around the first couple of times I used it. Now, less than a year after I purchased it, it won't charge the battery. The battery meter shows that is has about a half charge (12.5 volts) but there isn't enough juice to turn over a VW beetle. I tried to plug it in to recharge it but it is not taking a charge. It looks and feels very durable. The compressor worked fine yesterday but the internal battery in the unit won't charge. Seems like I'm not the first with this problem.

Buy PowerStation PSX Multi-Purpose Rugged Vehicle Utility Jump Starter and Air Compressor Now

We purchased this PowerStation to jumpstart a small pickup that had been sitting all winter. It was hitched up to the truck and instantly jumpstarted the vehicle. If we need to jump any of our vehicles in the winter, this unit will easily pay for itself after a few uses. The inconvenience of having to wait for someone to show up to jumpstart makes it well worth the price, especially if you are working and can't afford to be late.

The user manual has very clear safety instructions, gives instruction on charging the PXS before using it the first time, standard recharging of the PXS (once a month), tells you how to jumpstart a vehicle, how to use the integrated work light, how to use the compressor, and how to operate the 12V DC outlet. In the instruction manual you will also find a toll free number to call if you have any problems with the unit or need replacement parts. There are diagrams to consult so you can become familiar with the unit. The following features are listed in the instructions:

FEATURES

* High current EHP battery provides 1,000 Amps peak power, 400 Amps starting power.

* Starts cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, and boats without the need of host vehicle or an AC power source.

* 12V DC power outlet provides power for appliances designed to plug into a vehicle or boat 12V power socket.

* Solid-state, integrated charger allows for re-charging of the PSX battery from any 120V AC power source.

* Sealed, maintenance-free heavy duty battery is safe to use, transport and store.

* 37 inch (94cm) heavy-duty industrial welding cables and 400 amp clamps for maximum starting power.

* Battery volt meter for quick assessment of PSX internal battery state of charge.

* High-impact molded case provides durability and convenient transport.

* LED work light for roadside repairs or emergency situations.

* High pressure air compressor and adaptors can address a wide range of inflation needs.

* Pressure gauge displays air pressure in PSI.

* "Cables Reversed" indicator lights indicate reverse polarity warning.

* Includes 12V DC cable and 120V AC charger cable.

One other aspect of the PSX that we especially like is its portability. If you have a vehicle or recreational vehicle that is hard to get to (behind other vehicles or off roads) this unit is a real plus. First time we saw this unit, it didn't take us very long to decide we needed it and the price was right. It was a decision we didn't regret!

Bought it as emergency backup over 2 years agoat costco when my wife's battery refused to start the car and AAA did not come. Bye-bye AAA membership, Hello PowerStation.

Since then it started number of cars, used as compressor at least once a month for two cars and even powered backup sump pump during Irene while providing some light.

Important part here KEEP IT CHARGED. This is lead-acid battery and will degrade if stored undercharged. If you are at 12 V it will die in weeks, if you under 11.5 and don't charge right away you battery is gone. Lead inside sulfates and can only be recovered using desulfation process by expensive external charger.

So advice is to plug it after each use.

The only complaint they should have made clear what type of Lead-Acid battery is inside gel or AGM. That would make it easier to do maintenance once in a while and keep it alive even longer.

The Powerstation PSX worked wonderfully for the first year saving me on a couple of occasions. I've charged it on a monthly basis per instruction and considered it an essential item stowed in the trunk of my car. Well that is until I started using the compressor for the first time and noticed the unit power drains after about 3-4 minutes. This was confirmed when I pressed the "Test Battery" button the meter shows "no charge." I bought it home to charge and to my surprise the green 'Fully Charged' light turned on immediately when I plugged it to charge. You see the unit thinks it's fully charged, while the battery test and compressor says otherwise. To verify I tested the unit cable to see if it can 'jump' one of the vehicle in the garage nope it didn't, no charge. I believe the circuit in this unit shorted or something thinking it's fully charged when it's not.

Anyway, the Powerstation PSX is now a dead weight in garage. After only 1 year of use it now a POS. I'm now shopping for a more reliable jump starter probably the JNC660.

Bottom line, I would not recommend getting this.

One of the best investments I've ever made! I cannot even count how many times I've had to use my PowerStation! I've even loaned it out a couple times, and each person who used it, loved it!

The chargers work well. The headphones are cheap but work. They got four stars because you really can't beat two chargers and a pair of head phones for under 10.00. The two chargers alone are worth that and the headphones were just a bonus. Headphones have a mic and button built in that starts and stops playback / calls (LG Escape Android Phone) but no volume control. The length of headphone cord where it "Y's" starts at the mic and isn't very long which puts the mic about 3 inches from my chin. The ear pieces are not extremely comfortable but will work long enough for a work out or typical family phone call. Again, you can't compare these to more serious headphones like beats, bose, skullcandy ect.

Cobra Vedetta Ultimate Detection Systems Series, SLR 650G Radar/Laser/Camera Detector

Cobra Vedetta Ultimate Detection Systems Series, SLR 650G Radar/Laser/Camera Detector
  • Supercharged Performance Radar/Laser Detector, provides phenomenal detection range on all radar/laser speed monitoring devices
  • Quad-level IntelliShield lets you choose from 4 levels of city filtering modes for improved false signal rejection
  • 2.4 inch, High-Def color display gives you a bright and easy to read/operate screen in any lighting situation with touch-point controls, choose from 6 user-selectable color themes
  • VoiceAlert provides user with human voice band annunciation
  • Internal GPS receiver and lifetime AURA camera and driving hazard database alerts users to speed and red light cameras, known speed traps and dangerous intersections

I was trying different radar detectors in my country and no one could detect the Multaradar CD that operate in K Band here... so I saw that Cobra was releasing the new Vedetta Series with supercharged detection, so again I give a shot like my last hope and again unfortunately this is another detector that could not detect the Multadar CD.

Pros:

This detector looks really nice, better than any another one that I tried before including the Escort 9500.

Is a lot smaller than I thought, that was my concern after seen the pictures, but the detector is nice built and really small.

The screen is nice you can change the colors scheme, for colored or mono color to match your car dash, I really liked that function in my case I use Blue Scheme.

This detector is really smart on false alarms, when you are just moving slow the detector doesn't emit any sound just screen alerts, that is really handy when you are on the city.

The design, the looks and the material used in the construction is really higher than the ones used on other detectors that I did try before.

Cons:

In my case can't detect the Multaradar CD K Band.

The support is ugly like the Garmin ones, I didn't liked, so I used velcro on my dash to mount (Velcro Included).

The cord is not coiled, is just the regular cord, so you have to use something to wrap what is left, is too long for my taste.

Very poor information online about this device, the box came with just a really small mini manual, they should put online the tech info about this device.

To resume my experience I felt really bad when I just stopped my car and put the detector face to face with the Multaradar CD and it not even beep!! the cops just gave me the smile and said to me 'How your 300 bucks detector could beat our 50.000.00 machine?" actually he was really nice to let me try my detector so close!!! and no, don't even beep!! this, the suction cup and the poor information available online about this device is the reason that I give 3 stars...

If you have any doubt about this detector, fell free to ask me before you purchase!

UPDATE 08/21/2012

I just received an e-mail from Cobra and they confirmed that they radars can't detect radars operating at K band 24.100 Ghz, however on the radar documents they did send me, that clearly says that the SLR 650G can detect on K band between 24.000 Ghz and 24.250 Ghz. So 24.100 Ghz is inside the range. That is the reason I removed 1 star more.

Cobra claims to detect any threat, any band more than any another one, but unfortunately that is not true so Buyer be aware if you pretend to use this detector to detect low powered K band radars.

This is the second Cobra radar detector that I've owned. The first Cobra XRS 9960G Voice Alert 15-Band Radar/Laser Detector with 1.5-Inch Full-Color Display, GPS Locator, and Red Light/Speed Features one worked OK but had a weird GPS dongle hanging off the side of it. Unfortunately the display became permanently dim after a couple years. I no longer use it.

The Vedetta has a completely different display which is larger than the display on the previous unit. In addition it offers much greater flexibility in viewing angle and mounting since it swivels and pivots. You even have the ability to electronically flip the display upside down in order to facilitate mounting the radar detector in the way that best fits for your particular car. The Vedetta has an integrated GPS so that means no external GPS module hanging off to one side of the unit.

Power is supplied to the Vedetta via a power port/cigarette lighter plug. It was disappointing to me that the Vedetta does not have a USB power port on the unit itself but uses a proprietary plug. This may be due to its power requirements but I'm not sure. It would certainly be more helpful to have a USB power plug since most other GPS's and other devices have migrated to that and it makes it less cumbersome to be able to use the same USB power cord that many other devices use.

The Vedetta starts up automatically when power to the unit is provided. There is a power button to turn the unit off. The power button serves another purpose as well; if held for a few seconds, the display flips upside down. This helps you to position the unit more easily on your windshield.

The windshield mount provided is the best mount I've ever used. The disc is sticky and uses a suction mechanism. The combination provides a "won't let go" attachment to your windshield that is superb. I've never had the mount loosen and fall off the windshield in heat, cold or any circumstance. It's the best!

The screen is characterized as having "touch-sensor controls" which is not to be confused with an actual touch screen. It's not a touch screen such as an iPhone touch screen. In this case the controls are operated by touching designated areas on either side of the actual information display. In my case, the right side "buttons" or sensors worked easily whereas the left side "buttons" required a more definitive press that I could only accomplish by using two hands. A simple one finger touch to the sensor area was not enough to activate it.

The screen is very glossy and has no anti-glare properties whatsoever. At times it is impossible to see the display due to the glare. Why don't electronics makers utilize anti-glare screens especially when the device is going to be in a situation where external light will always be hitting it? I just don't understand this.

The Vedetta allows you to set filters that determine at what sensitivity the audio alert for radar/laser will activate. I normally keep mine on the highway setting which lets all alerts through since I live in an area with few false alarms. If you are in a dense urban area, you'd probably not want to keep it on highway setting as you'd be picking up all sorts of random signals from automatic door openers, etc.

The Vedetta seems to have a great range of picking up radar. In one instance the Ka alert went off a mile in advance of where the police car was sitting on the side of the road. In another case, I had slightly over a mile advance warning of a speed limit monitor device that was parket in a residential area.

I've had the unit indicate several "speed trap" areas in my area. I'm not quite sure how these areas are added to the AURA database or how frequently the database is updated, but I update my Vedetta weekly if I remember to. One concern for Mac users is the unfortunate reality that you cannot update the AURA database on your Vedetta if you use a Mac. The software is only available for Windows machines. Come on Cobra. that's not acceptable.

I personally do not like the graphics of the display. They are clunky looking and remind me of a cheesy circa 1978 video game or something. I do like the indication of compass heading and speed, I just don't like how that information is presented. There is also an unneeded animation at the bottom of the display that serves no purpose other than to provide some eye candy that you will quickly tire of looking at. It cannot be disabled.

Overall, this is a well-functioning unit. One feature I like a lot is the ability to easily change the radar sensitivity from highway to city by a simple, single button push. But If I had one wish it would be that it gave an indication of what direction the radar signal is coming from. Valentine radar detectors provide this feature. It is more helpful knowing where the radar is coming from. The excellent windshield mount makes this secure on your windshield in all conditions. The sensitivity seems great and lifetime updates to the AURA database are included. Too bad Mac users can't update their Vedetta's AURA database though. That's a big oversight that Cobra should address.

I ordered this Radar on January 20th and received it on the 25th with their standard free shipping and I love this thing.

Not only does this thing look cool it performance is outstanding. After reading some reviews I was a little concerned but I am glad I ordered it. The volume is great seen a few reviews that it had poor volume but I can hear it just fine with my radio on. I was also concerned about it being too big and I had no problem finding a good spot to mount it without blocking my view. All in all this thing is great sets up easy no guessing or wondering very basic setup controls. The only thing that could make this a better unit is if Cobra added Bluetooth to it so it can be sync with a smartphone to get the Aura updates. But even then I doubt the locations are changing that frequently that it need to be updated daily. You know the city isn't out moving there red light cam to new locations daily

Really aggravating that I had to replace the entire unit because the water fitting is molded in with no reasonable way to replace it.

Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus for iPod v2 - FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod

Monster iCarPlay Wireless Plus for iPod v2 - FM Transmitter/Charger for iPod
  • Play your iTunes Wirelessly Through Any FM Station*
  • Compatible with all current Apple iPod models.
  • 3 programmable "favorite station" preset buttons and easy-to-read LED display.
  • Full FM tuning capability for clear sound anywhere*.
  • Smart Digital Charger for fast charges; maximizes battery life.

I got this product so my wife could play her Ipod in her car. I was extremely skeptical that it would work "auto sound" retailers had generally bad mouthed this type of product. And, i had tried something like this years ago, when the first generation of Ipods came out. But the alternative for my wife's car (Boxster) was to put in a new and different radio more than $800 in this case! I saw that there were some used/reconditioned versions of the product available on Amazon, and decided to try it.

IT WORKS PERFECTLY. My wife loves it. Ok, so you have some loose wires in the front seat, but my concerns about static and losing the station, blah, blah, have not surfaced. And, it is great that you can program up to 3 empty stations on your FM radio, just in case you travel through an area where the radio loses the signal you're using. But my wife sez that never happens anyway.

So, I give this product 2 thumbs up!!

I just bought one of these for a car trip, and it turned out to be worthless. I got it to "work", if you can call it that, but only for about 5 minutes. The rest of the time, you couldn't hear it at all. I tried moving the transmitter around, changing the station, the broadcast power is just too weak.

At best there is a light to medium background static. Within a 60 mile drive I usually have to change stations 2 or 3 times to find a better signal. The rest of the time static is so bad I just turn it off. On a rare occasion I can get a decent signal and enjoy it but it never lasts long. Everything seems to interfere with it...hills, airports, military bases, even overpasses and bridges. Time to upgrade to a new stereo which I what I should have done in the first place.

  • Includes batteries

Good:

-Small

-Charges Ipod with 2 AA batteries

-You can buy other tips to charge other items or new ipods when they come out

-my understanding is that you can get wall and car chargers that work with the same variety of tips

Bad:

-seems like the plug that plugs into the tip could break easily. It hasn't broken, but I feel like I have to be very careful with it. I lay it carefully on a flat service and don't move it when I'm using it to charge. I don't put it in my pocket. I don't store it with the tip attached. I have to keep the tip and device in a ziplock bag since I'd lose the tip. Iit just makes it awkward.

I like it, but it would be amazing if there was a cover that was big enough to cover the end with the tip attached. The shape of a deoderant cover would work great since this has that oval shape. If there was something like that included, it would be a definate buy. It's still a definate buy if you need something for camping or whatever.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it allows you to charge devices with 2 AA batteries. On the other hand it is very ridged and feels like it could break at any moment. If they would have included a short cord on the end rather than the hard plastic tip that the "tips" go on this would be MUCH better. Look at the pictures and realize that the tip plugs into the unit and the phone, ipod, etc plugs into the tip. Basically you have to set your device down while this is charging it because otherwise it feels clunky. It does do what I needed it to do though...now I wish the extra tips weren't so overpriced.

Bought this Item for my daughter. She uses the internet a lot on her phone which saps the battery life. Its great when she's on a night out and needs to charge her phone. an inexspenive item to know she has always got connectivity on her phone in case of emergencies.

This charger meets all those criteria and more. It comes with a multitude of different charging adapters and it can be charged from your laptop or a USB plug that are becoming more and more common these days. Once charged stick it in your pocket or your bag with the relevant adopters and off you go.

the only negative thing I can think of is that I would have prefered the pouch to have a fastener at the end so that it doesn't fall out.

I do use this and appreciate having the extra battery source on hand and portable; however, it is not enough to charge my phone completely only about 70% charge when it quits charging my phone. (Razr M)

I bought one of these because my mom had one from another brand. I love it, it does what it is suppose to. My boyfriend used it all the time so I bought another. It's sleek and people always think its really cool. Only con I can think of is the little pouch it comes with is useless, I use an old small soft camera case to carry mine in my purse.

The first time I used it it charged my iPhone 4 to 100%. I recharged the Pebble for the next day's adventure. When I needed t the next day, I used it and it charged my phone to 76% and was dead. It got me through the day but...I had hoped for more for my money.

Audiovox SIR-BB3 Sirius Satellite Radio Boombox

Audiovox SIR-BB3 Sirius Satellite Radio Boombox
  • Satellite radio boombox compatible with Audiovox SIR-PNP3 Sirius tuner
  • Lets users enjoy satellite radio at the beach, in a park, and elsewhere
  • High-gain antenna with 20-foot cord ensures high-quality reception
  • Includes 3.5 mm auxiliary input for connecting to portable audio device

I love listening to sirius in my office during the day. The channels I like to listen to are Court TV and CNN, which are not available via the computer. The only down side to the boombox is that there is no carrying handle. There is a place to put one's hand, but it is not conducive to carrying. It is perfect if you are going to put in one place and keep it there.

Here is the new and updated version of the SIR-BB2! Since they do not make the BB2 anymore, this is what you want if you have the PNP3 as it'll allow you to take the boombox anywhere! Note, the PNP2 and other Sirius receivers will not work with this, only the PNP3.

Improvements include a better and lounder volume so that if you're outside you'll hear the program much better! The volume is adjusted by either pushing a down or up button. Also it's not as "thick" as the BB2.

Plug in some D Cell batteries and you can go portable with it!

It includes an adapter to plug in, and 20 wire and antenna for reception. Note many with Sirius have to put the antenna just outside their window facing the appropriate direction (read directions). And everyone can get reception, it's just a matter of proper antenna placement.

You may want to look into getting the 50 foot Sirius antenna extension cable (see above for item information) to connect both antenna wire and boombox. You can connect up to 2 of them making a total of 125 feet of antenna wire.

And Sirius lineup, you'll never be able to find something you cannot listen to! And with Sirius you also can listen to Sirius online FREE when you signup! Sirius has 65 commercial free music channels, TWO NPR channels, Talk channels (Patriot, Right, Left, Air America, Talk Central, OutQ) and spanish along with Radio Classics (Lone Ranger, Suspense, Dragnet, etc.) and more! Exclusive include Howard Stern starting January 2006, Maxim Radio talk (Mens Magazine) channel, Eminem Shade 45 channel (uncut hip-hop), over 40 NBA games per week, NHL, Tony Hawks Domolition Radio, Barclays English League Soccer, All Division I Mens Basketball.

The trick to finding what's on and when is to look online at the channel lineup for times or listen to Sirius information channel 184 or better yet, stay tuned to the channel you like!

Sports, Sirius is the only one that has a 24/7 NFL channel that has each and every NFL game including your hometown broadcast feed! NASCAR will be exclusive to Sirius starting in 2007!

I challenge anyone to find this cheaper than Amazon with free shipping and no tax. It won't happen!

So there it is, if you want to use the PNP3 in the house, this is what you need!

The Audiovox SIR-BB3 Sirius Satellite Radio Boombox is a wonderful alternative to the Audiovox home shuttle docking station. With the boombox, you can take the Sirius Radio Shuttle anywhere you want. You are not locked into your home stereo. It is convenient to take to the beach or on a picnic.

It operates on house current (for in home use) or batteries for outside use. The boombox has a very nice sound to it, even though there aren't any bass or treble controls. The speaker seperation is very good. The volume can be controlled from buttons on the boombox or through the shuttle with the remote control. Overall, I really like the boombox and feel it is money well spent if you already have a Sirius shuttle.

Stanley J5C09 500-Amp Jump Starter with Built-In Air Compressor

Stanley J5C09 500-Amp Jump Starter with Built-In Air Compressor
  • 1000 Peak Battery Amps / 500 Amp Instant Starting Power
  • Includes a 120 PSI air compressor, DC & USB charging plugs and a high powered LED light that rotates 270 degrees
  • Consists of reverse polarity alarm for safety along with a top-mounted rubber molded handle for easy grip
  • Heavy duty metal clamps and Number 6 AWG cables
  • Contains power/charge indicator and audible & visual reverse polarity alarm
  • Item is Hazmat and non-returnable

This unit should provide the capacity needed to jump start most cars. However, there are a few things to note:

1. This unit does not have an automatic float charging system. This means you can't just leave it plugged in & expect it to maintain a full charge. Instead, you must periodically unplug it and replug it in (at least every few months). If you forget, you will not only not have a charged unit when you need it, but, the battery can become damaged as well if left to fully discharge. Chargers costing as little as $20 have this feature; There's no reason to exclude it on a unit like this.

2. This unit does not include a power cord. Instead, you will need to use an extension cord; it needs to be a single dongle version because of the design of the unit.

3. This unit does not include a storage compartment. Not a big deal, but, if you have some accessories you want to tote (like a power cord or inflation needle), you won't have a convenient place to store it.

I've also had two PowerStation units. One died within a year and the other still works (I think). Time will tell how the Stanley stacks up.

...and that's saying a lot, since this thing is so heavy.

I haven't used all the features, but I recently had a electrical problem in my car. The alternator was draining my battery, and I had to unplug it every time. I got the jump starter after my car was fixed, but then I forgot to turn my lights off two days later. This thing jumped my car just fine.

I also have a lot of problems with my tires in the winter, air slowly leaks out of one of my tires. This will come in handy then, as well. It'll save me a couple bucks going to the gas station to fill up air.

Pros: It works. Lots of features, including a cigarette lighter charger, USB charger, and air compressor for your tires. Easy to carry with the handle up top.

Cons: Heavy, it takes a long time to charge (15-19 hrs), and you'll need an extension cord to charge it.

I drive a honda ridgeline pickup truck and my wife drive a honda civic. I've been looking for a decent jumpstarter that would be powerful enough for both of our vehicles. Rather then having 2 various models it just seemed easier to get two identical units. After reading reviews on several various jump-starters I opted for this model.

Now the most negative thing I could find about this thing was it lacked a flat charger so you couldn't leave it plugged in. For me that's not even a factor, after all I bought this to charge it and then put it in the trunk of my wifes car and in the cargo area of my truck. I don't intend on leaving this plugged in. So if you plan on using this HOW IT IS DESIGNED then you too don't even need to worry about the lack of a float charger.

That being said, the unit itself is a bit heavy, imagine picking up really big battery, that's essentially what this is. It has some weight to it.

The jumpstarter itself also features an interesting little light that pivots as well as an air compressor. I've heard/read back reviews on the air compressor, for me it's not why I bought it. But initial checks it looks like it works fine and even has somewhere to store the air hose which is really nice.

The one negative I have on this thing is the power switch for the air compressor is on the back and is not protected. In other words it could in theory be flipped on and drain the battery. So when you need to jump your car the starter would be dead. I wish they put a cover or moved the switch but honestly it would take a perfect mistake for that to get turned on so it's really not that critical. To prevent this from potentially happening I actually went down to Target and bought 2 milk crates,one for me and one for my wife. I put a jump starter, first aid kit, oil, etc in the crate so it's essentially the roadside emergency crate and also protects the jumpstarter from getting knocked around and/or turned on.

Overall I spent $140 total on 2 of these and I'm really happy with the quality. They charge overnight easily, the indicator lights show you the charge remaining on the battery and it has power ports for 12volt and USB which is an added bonus.

If you need a jumpstarter I would definitely consider this one.

Let me lead by explaining an easy fix for units that have been completely discharged and will not charge via the 110volt outlet. Mine was bumped in my tool box and the compressor switch turned on, leaving the unit completely dead for at least a week. I thought it was trashed but then was able to build a charge using the 12volt adapter included. Once a low level charge was achieved I brought it inside and fully charged it after 2 days. Not sure this will work in all situations but the higher voltage charge from a running car (~14 volts) was enough to bring the unit back to life.

I have had this charger for about a year and have been pretty happy with it thus far. The unit has been in my truck box most of this time and I bring it out occasionally to keep it charged. It works fine to jumpstart my Dodge Dakota but the air pump feature is very limited. It makes a great deal of noise and would take prohibitively long to inflate a car tire. The best use for the air pump has been for inflating bike tires.

I had to use this already and it worked great. I like how the postive and negive clamps clamp to the box so they aren't free. The light for the air compressor is great too. When you are in the dark the light on the side is handy to have.

Sunforce 60031 10 Amp Digital Charge Controller

Sunforce 60031 10 Amp Digital Charge Controller
  • Protects battery from overcharge and discharge
  • Handles up to 10 Amps of array current and150 Watts of solar power
  • Maintains 12V batteries in a fully charged state
  • LCD digital display shows battery voltage
  • Small and compact for added convenience

Interesting little device. Voltmeter is .22 VDC high, no adjustment available. Sample time for DVM is a little slow. Using to keep 100 A/Hr battery "topped off" with two solar panels. Max charging current so far is around 4 Amps which the unit handles very well, no apparent heating, no electrical noise generated. Have it diode isolated and in parallel with AC charger and they both are functioning nicely. Only thing to change would be a terminal strip vs. wires included and adjustment for DVM. The box itself could be rectangular instead of the curved thing it comes in. Would make mounting a lot easier.

A year later.

Have had this in my travel trailer for over a year. Solar panels are rated at 100 watts. Battery is a telecomm battery designed for sitting around on a charger then providing, in this case, up to 100 Amps for about 20 hours when needed. The trailer has not been connected to AC since panels/battery/charge controller installed. The panels have provided enough power and the controller has kept the battery at 13.8 volts the whole time. The max charge current I have seen so far has been about 6 Amps. Not bad for the Pacific North-west.

I have looked inside the controller. The switching devices are wired like MOSFETs and they look like they would max out at 10 Amps. Part numbers on the devices are in-house numbers and impossible to find. I would limit this unit to no more than what I have it doing. i.e., 100 Watt panels. That would keep the charge current at around 8 Amps max.

Recently purchased the Sunforce model 60031 (digital) and very pleased with features that work as described in description. I'm sure my warranty is void now, however was able to open the case and drill a small hole right where the sun icon is located on the front panel (case removed first) and this is the location where the float charge "cut-in" adjustment is made. The trimmer on the right side of the PC board is for adjusting the digital display against a accurate input voltage. Again note, you will be on your own if you open the case.

This Sunforce charge controller was bought as a component for my solar generator and at first, I wasn't sure it was going to work because other charge controllers are more expensive and this one had 10amps. Turns out i had nothing to worry about because the Sunforce can handle my 12 volt system. I was able to mount it straight to the battery box with some nuts and bolts and the fittings that go to the battery were exactly the size I needed.. I'm using n 80W micro-crystalline panel and so far, the controller is delivering a steady and fast charge to my battery. My 110 amphour battery gets charged back from 25% to 100% in about 6 hours. The indicator lights are easy to read and the liquid crystal voltage readout is accurate. The readout only uses 10ma which is good because it stays on all the time.

Here's the fun part. We made a modification on the connections by using a 15 amp 125-Volt 2-Pole Polarized Light-Duty Plug on the panel, and a 15 amp 125-Volt Light-Duty Plug on the controller's input wires. This makes it a snap, literally, to hook up and unhook the generator box from the solar panel so I can roll it inside the house.

Very pleased with this product as I'm sure you will be.

I use the Sunforce 10 amp controller with a Sunforce solar panel to charge and maintain the battery on my hunting camper. We do not have commercial power available and don't want to carry a generator for a short weekend. The controller is working fine. This is the second one I have had on there. The first had a faulty digital readout screen. I had a 7 amp Sunforce, but it seemed to allow leakage overnight. This one will charge the battery up to 12.8 Volts, but apparently no more, whereas the promo says it will do 14 Volts, then maintain. It has not brought the battery up to a maintenance level as yet, but it does bring the battery back up to better than 12 Volts rather quickly after an evening of using the lights and light appliances like the furnace fan. All in all, I am satisfied with this product.
