Batteries Reviews

This handheld PC is incredible. I've used it for about four months and I don't have any negatives. On some trips my standard battery has lasted up to 8 hours...you can get an upgrade. I've used smaller Palm-type systems, but I didn't like using a stylist pen on a screen, it's not natural for me. With the Jornada 820, if you don't like using an optional mouse or if you simply want to "go light" you can use the nice built-in touch pad. My compliments to the H-P engineering team for the ergonomics on this one, as a product designer I go enjoy picking apart bad designs, but I couldn't find any minor flaws with this equipment. It is, in my opinion, the SMALLEST package with the LARGEST built in keyboard and let's not forget the screen. Also the keyboard doesn't feel like an palm pilot add on. I enjoy the good E-mail and internet browsing performance and the easy no mess connectivity software package included in with the system. Although I will be the first to sign-up for a faster StrongArm 190 MHz RISC processor upgrade...all in all a great travel companion. It's no wonder that the Jornada 820 won in the "Best Handheld with Keyboard Product" from Mobile Computing and Communications Magazine January 2000 (See mobilecomputing website). Thanks again H-P!

I have used the Jornada 820 for about 8 months and have never regretted buying it. I also develop programs for it using VB 6.0 for CE and it works great. I keep everything on it that I'll ever need. No more paper shuffling, I have instant access to all the data for work and personal use.

I recently added one of these to my high-end(ish) 2 channel stereo system. The difference it nakes is astonishing. I plug amps, pre-amp, cd player into it and ground-loop hum is completely removed. Also, due to componants operating at correct voltage, sound is quite noticably enhanced. Better midrange, smoother treble, blacker background, more natural voicing and better dynamics. I did notice that the low bass got a little more polite and lost some detail . . but for me it's worth it to have such big improvements in almost all other areas. Highly recommended. Plus it looks cool.

This is heavy stuff. An excellent piece of equipment that works no matter what. The quality of the power in my house is really bad. Every time the fridge goes on, there is a brown-out. With all my home theater equipment hooked up to this baby, there's no more picture flickering or drop in sound level. Highly recommended. Please be aware of the following though; You do not get any filtering whatsoever with this unit. You must also get a surge protector or a more advanced filter unit to take care of those problems. The AVS 2000 only correct the voltage, nothing more. Comes with an 8ft beefy AC cable and must be hooked up to a grounded (3-prong) outlet.

These are getting hard to find but they work really well. We have use 280 and 289 batteries for years on the farm. Only trouble is when they are outside in the cold and lose power more quickly. Once warmed up they work well.

I charge up the battery in the cabin overnight. I turn the radio on during the caravan drive to the mountain, ski all day with the earbud, and leave it on until we arrive back at the cabin. I have only seen it get below half charge once!

This battery got me though many shoots for my many DV Films. It does last about as long as it specifies. Too bad I had to sell it as I am about to buy a new Canon as my Pana died. It's a great battery though, and a great price from J and R.

If the CGRD16A/1b doesn't have enough battery life for you (3 hours, approx. 1.5 if you use LCD screen), then this is probably the battery for you.

You will get about 5 hours of battery life out of this battery, or 2.5 if you use the LCD screen a lot. I like this battery much more than the CGRD53, which I think is much too large for the average user (it has 9 hours of usage, but it is very large compared to the small size of the digital camcorders).

This battery holds its charge well, and is a good size.

These batteries last a long time. I have had mine for over a year and abuse them regularly. The charge time is quick too.
Resently I had the clips fail that hold the battery to the drill. I was lucky that nothing broke when the pack fell to the shower floor I was installing.
I contacted Panasonic today to complain. They told me that there is a recall on several style batteries made durning a certain time period. My batteries were withinn that period. They will be replaced at no charge. Check your to see if you can get new packs. All this makes Panasonic tools that much better!!

I own many power tools and when i purchased this Panasonic Drill I also purchased the 15.6 volts battery. I do home improvement jobs for many coworkers of mine and the first time I did a sheet rocking job it worked wonders. I hung approximately 50 Sheets of rock requiring about 30 screws each. This battery held its power as well as the duration of time which I utilized it. Your talking about screwing in 1500 screws in a matter of hours. This battery my be high priced but I will tell you from personal use you get what you pay for. So for you contractors out there take it from me. No more lengthy charges, switching back and forth from battery to battery will no longer be an issue. So if you plan on purchancing an additional battery step up and spend the extra few dollars

I bought this item because I thought there was a charger in this kit based on the previous review.. there ISN'T a charger included... but it's still worth the money... the case is very small, just big enough to hold the camera, battery and memory stick. I needed an extra battery [price] and memory stick [price] anyway. i am happy with this purchase

This is a great kit , has all the essentials and is worth the money . If you were to buy the battery and charger seperately it would be more or less the same price but it also comes with a memory stick and a little pouch for it all .

Love this microcassette. I use it in a classroom setting and the voice playback even on 1.2 is clear and fresh. I can tell who in back of me is speaking, besides the lecture of the professor.

I am a Private Investigator working in a very, very cold climate. My line of work is fast-paced and I can't afford for break downs. I can't tell my client that I didn't get the info because my recorder wasn't working well. I also can't use a digital recorder as digital recordings are not admissable in all courts.

That's where this Sony microcassete recorder comes in. I use it to dictate my reports, record interviews and record phone conversations. On average, I record about 3-4 hours of audio a day. It is always with me and has never let me down.

Believe me, I have abused this recorder. I've dropped it, left it in my car in -40 to 100 degree temperatures and even dropped it in a sink full of water (I think I got lucky on that one). Even after all that, my recorder is always ready to go.

This model is relatively easy on the batteries and has very clear playback. Its mic is always sensitive enough to do what I need and it will plug into a wall outlet should I need some long-time power.

If you buy this recorder, you will not be dissappointed.

These batteries do last longer than any other rechargable battery that I have used thus far.

Buying rechargeable batteries is simple - look for the "mah" rating. Sony at 2100mah has most powerfull AA on the market.

This little thing is thin, lightweight, solid construction, and cranks out more lux than I've ever seen from any other pen light. Incredibly handy and not heavy when you find it stuck in your mouth for 20 minutes looking for something that fell into one of those crevices under your car seat that is, for all intents and purposes, a black hole. You'll have a hard time finding AAAA batteries at most stores (not that you'll need them often as it runs A LONG TIME per set), but here's a trick. Peal open a good quality (copper top) 9 volt battery and inside you'll find 6 AAAA batteries that will fit!!! I will be getting one of these for each car since I've discovered this nifty trick!! For this price at amazon, it's a must have and great gift that anybody is likely to appreciate.

While not the brightest flashlight, The stylus is ultra dependable.
I've had mine three or four years, it has bounced around my motorcycle bags on camping trips, sits beside my bed in case of power outages, etc.
It is very usable lighting your way walking, tasklighting, etc. I would not use it to investigate a dark warehouse.
AAAA batteries not too easy to find, but they last forever it seems.

You just can't beat this, it costs 40 cents/year to operate, and that's when it is operating 10 HOURS a day. Also, if the night light ever stops working for some reason, just return it to the company and they'll send you a new one.

The light is bright for an LED, and the integrated flashlight will definitely be great for when the power goes out.
