Batteries Reviews

Energizer batteries are generally fine, but I am confused that Amazon lists this as a suggested accesory for the Elph digital S100 camera. The Elph battery has "3.7V" printed on its side and does not look identical to this battery. I would be wary of trying this out with my camera until Amazon, Energizer or Canon assure me of its compatibility.

I think that this is an excellent product. I use this battery for my camera samsung AF zoom and this surrenders for enough pictures. Up to now I have not had any inconvenience.

This little printer is perfect for trips. It is compact and light. It has a very good resolutions in b&w and in color too. It has two disadvantages, the first one is you can't use any kind of paper (look technical information) and the second is you have to change ink cartdriges for print in color and b&w. But it has a very good characteristic against other portable printers, it can support both 110 or 220 volts, without buying any additional product. As I said, it is perfect for trips, domestic and international.

I have the standard DeskJet 340, w/o the infrared adapter. While not very speedy, the printer produces really excellent printed pages. It's kind of a hassle to have to change ink cartridges to print in color vs. b/w, but I guess that's what you get in a printer this small. If you just use the printer w/o the sheet feeder, this thing in pretty darn portable. I wish I had the I/R option - carrying a 3ft printer cable in my laptop bag is not too cool. Over all, a good, reliable printer in a very portable package.

I purchased a red 6D model. It is an OK torch but, as with all Maglites, they have that annoying black spot in the middle of the beam in flood-light mode (caused by the reflection against the bulb) which I find personally annoying.

The 6D is a little difficult to grip so I got one of those rubber "Grip n Clip" slip on holders(made specifically for Maglite D-size torches) ...and it is now a pleasure to carry around.

The 6D is definitely not a "night sun" as one of the other reviewers on this page noted but it is bright enough for my purposes(mainly taking my dog for a walk at night).

All in all, I'm happy with it.

Don't look for any fancy camping and hiking features here. This is Maglite - the most robust, simply designed, durable flashlight ever. All except the tiniest maglites share a number of common features: super-bright bulbs, waterproof seals, a twistable head which adjusts the spread of the beam from spot to flood, and a spare bulb in a padded compartment in the base. This is the big daddy of the bunch, taking a full 6 D-cells, and satisfying long and heavy. You'll feel like a nightwatchman! Also available in 4D and 5D sizes for those with smaller biceps.

Charger works great for AA batteries, but it can only charge 2 AAA batteries at a time, which is a real pain in the neck!

I've been using this for a few months so I always have fresh batteries for my Logitech MX700 wireless mouse. It works great and charges much faster than the charger stand that comes with the mouse. Besides the good price, the features that sold me were that it measures the charge on each battery individually, it has the ability to charge two AAA batteries should I need that in the future, and it has a small footprint due to the AC plug folding into the base. Highly recommended!

It works just fine with the original, Firewire iPod, but not at all on the newer iPods.

I just love this charger for my 20G origional Ipod. It looks great, and is super compact which I love. It is intended for the origional Ipod, but there is also an adaptor avalable from another company to use it with the new style. The cord is great, its 10 foot length is extremly compact due to a tight coil. The intelegent charging is a good feature, and the lights on the charger to tell its state are very useful. The charger also looks GREAT compared to others. I reccommend this product 100%.

I bought this unit to protect my new 51" HDTV and as soon as I plugged the coax video RG-6 cable into the unit to protect my link from the cable provider to the set-top box I lost 1/2 of my HD channels. I called Monster tech support and was told that the unit did not pass all the high frequency signals needed for HDTV. He did say they they would ship me out a Monster HT200 which would pass the HD signals. But it never arrived. After waiting two weeks I email their tech support and got a call where Eric V said he would mail me out a HT200. In all I would stay away from this product if you are trying to protect your HDTV until they modify the product.

This was a great purchase with no hassles or problems. Very quick delivery using ground shipping. I will use them again in the future.

First let me say that the T6220 radios I have are outstanding. This review, however, is for the rechargable battery system.
Firstly; it works and works well. I have owned it for a year or so, and the batteries have performed splendidly. I have a complaint and recomedation for new buyers: The snaps are fragile, and will eventually break. There is a piece that comes with this kit that has the plug on one end (that goes into the wall outlet) and the 'snap' on the other that snaps onto the radio for recharging. This 'snap' piece is quite thin, and if you use the radio with any regularity you will be snapping and unsnapping your radio quite a bit, and it will break. I can only recommend two remedies;
1- Don't lose the piece that breaks off. You can superglue it back on and it will be fine until it breaks again.
2- ALWAYS use the BASE that comes with this kit. What the base is is this: a big thingamijig that is for wall mounting and the like. You only have to snap the fragile snap thing i spoke of earlier into the base once, so you avoid breaking it. It is quite sturdy, but be careful when removing the radio from the base so you don't rip off the battery cover (the base is strong and wont let go of the radio. It attaches to the radio via the battery cover). To remove the radio from the base more easily, wedge a finger between the radio and the base in the area of the battery cover.
Overall, its still good, and it beats buying batteries.

This charger and battery work very well and charge quickly. Much better than using batteries in your radio. Well worth the purchase. If you have two radio, likely you could get along with only one charger and an extra battery.

Just came back from Birch Run, Michigan (the real-life test site of my pair of TA280s AA model).

Some 150 outlet stores scattered around the whole block. To go from one section to another, driving is often required. A pretty ideal place to use FRSs, especially your spouse/kids have very different preferences of stores to visit.

I fully-charged a set of Maha 1550mAh NiMH AA batteries for each unit and started them off at around 10:00am. With frequent conversation, it lasted thru the day until I turned them off at around 10:00pm with 1 bar (out of 3) left at the battery indicator.

I don't know the capacity of the proprietary Motorola NiMH battery for TA28x but Motorola claims 11 hours of 'normal' usage (5%/5%/90%). My 1550mAh NiMH AA setup beats this handily. Also, just imagine how much $$$ you are going to save from those disposable alkalines.

I am quite pleased about the performance of my batteries as well as the FRSs so far. Highly recommended.

I just finished the my own drain test with 3 x Maha 1550mAh AA NiMH batteries in TalkAbout TA280. The results are quite interesting.

TB is smart enough to tell it is being powered by original Motorola proprietary NiMH rechargeable (3.6V, have 3 contact points) or Alkaline AA adaptor kit (4.5V, have only 2 contact points).

I put 3 FULLY-CHARGED 1.2V NiMH into the Alkaline AA adaptor and started up the FRSs. The battery indicator showed only 2 (out of 3) bars. It was working without strange behavior though. I left them on and it ran out of power 30 hours later !! The battery indicator stayed at 2 for more than 18 hours and dropped to 1 for the rest. I used it occasionally (just to see it was still alive).

I think when you install the AA Alkaline battery kit, the TB is expecting 4.5V (= 3 x 1.5V). However, 3 x AA NiMH 1.2V batteries yielded only 3.6V (< 4.5V) and this attributes to the 2 (out of 3). On the other hand, AA NiMH can deliver stable 1.2V for 80% of the discharge cycle which attributes the 'long-standing' 2 and 1. Whereas Alkaline poses a steeper discharge curve than NiMH.

I will try them again to test how the 'real-life' performance (duration, range) will look like using NiMH in Alkaline adaptor.

Pros:
Fits the camera.
Small for compact cameras
Handles fast charge

Cons:
ONLY fits the specific charger for it -- you have to buy the charger too.

Try to find a car charger for a trip.

Not interchangable with your other cameras, even other Nikons use other different batteries.

Hard to find locally

It is a battery. It is rechargable. If fits in your CoolPix 2500. It is somewhat expensive, for a battery. You should probably have an extra one so you will always have a charged battery ready.

Oh, and it is black and says "Nikon" on it. Usually things that fit that description cost much more.

I may be a little naive, but I was expecting an actual battery with my battery charger. Other than that, it's fine. It works and it charges the battery in the stated time.

They offer a battery charger, then you receive that. The product is good, it's little, you could carry it wherever you go. It charges the battery in only two hours.
