Motorola RAZR V3 Motorola L2 Razor L6 U6 Travel Wall Charger Review

As the title says, it is a generic charger, NOT OEM.
For my Motorola L6 it does work, can't guarantee it'll work for others. I tried a generic charger before that was miniusb and it didnt work, so not all are the same.
It's cheap, and it worked for me, want a guarantee buy OEM.

Home, Wall, Travel Charger AC Adapter for Garmin Review

If you expecting to get a charger for Garmin GPS unit, forget it. You just got ripped. DO not buy this Chinese crap from anyone who claims that it can charge GPS unit. It will not. All you will get is crappie charger for cell phones an MP3 player with mini USB port. (Look at picture). I have a Garmin 255 and left it to charge overnight. After running a check up test on this unit battery charge was on a same level. (Just press and hold battery indicator on right corner for a few second and unit will run a check up test). Do not waist your money as I did. I wish someone will warn me here about this. We as a consumers need more protection against this kind of crappy products with false claims, which internet is full all over and sadly now here in Amazon as well.

Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller Review

Sunforce 7 Amp Charge Controller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bad:
Really cheap quality. Included instructions don't provide enough information. Website is just as un-informative. Cheap connector wires (low current), and is not equipped with screw-on terminal junctions.
Good: Product works as advertised. Amazinlgly "regulates" the voltage to the required amount so as not to overcharge the battery. Beware though, in order to test the actual output voltage, you must apply a load on the battery end of the controller BEFORE. Failing this, the output can register volts as high as 20 volts !!! Apparently applying an actual load causes the controller to output the correct voltage range - lucky me, cause I bought 4 units ! The LEDS alternately flickers (fast for good voltage input and slow for low to no voltage on solar panel). The manual did NOT state the order of LED flashes.
(1) Fast LED flashes - good voltage/current
(2) Slow LED flashes - low/no voltage/current
(3) steady Green - fully charged
(4) steady amber - possible no load OR really low voltage/current
I recommend you go out and buy 'em. The are a really good deal and does the job at the best price ! I use them in Jamaica, to provide my appliances with power during power outages (very frequent here). Used with solar panels and DC to AC inverter, of course. Considered using a generator, but too many accidents here with generators, too noisy, too bulky, and during hurricane aftermath, fuel is a problem. Solar is freely available, so it was the BEST option all round.
Hope this helps all readers !

Travel Charger (Mini USB) for Garmin Nuvi 260 / 260w / 265 / 265wt / 275t / 295w / 350 / 360 / 370 / 465t / 500 / 550 Review

I purchased this product from BargainCell via Amazon because the listing claims that it is a "Travel Charger (Mini USB) for Garmin Nuvi 260 / 260w / 265 / 265wt / 275t / 295w / 350 / 360 / 370 / 465t / 500 / 550". I just bought a new Garmin Nuvi 295w as a gift for Christmas, so I have not attempted to use either the Garmin device or the USB charger that was sent to me.
The problem is that the charger BargainCell sent to me says nothing about being compatible with a Garmin Nuvi 295w or any other Garmin device. It merely identifies itself as a "GT Max Charger for cell phone & MP3". The item that I received looks substantially similar (although not identical) to the one pictured in the Amazon listing. I've contacted BargainCell several times -- who has offered to replace or refund the purchase -- but from the replies that I've received, I can only conclude that any replacement that they would send me would be the same item. They have not answered my question about the suitability of the charger that I received for use with a Garmin Nuvi.
After doing some research, I have learned that not all USB chargers are created equally. A standard USB charger that will work with most devices should have an electrical output of 5.0V +/- 5% (between 4.75V and 5.25V) and should provide up to 500mA of current. However, some devices require currents up to 1.0A (1000mA) in order to be used or to charge.
In fact, examining the USB charger that I received from BargainCell, it says that its electrical output is 5.5V at 600mA. The Garmin Nuvi 295w says that it requires an input of 5.0V at 900mA and its own car power adapter outputs 5.0V at 1000mA. Therefore, it seems likely to me that the charger that BargainCell sent to me has the wrong voltage and will supply an insufficient amount of current to properly charge the battery of a Garmin Nuvi 295w.
Thus, I believe that the listing on this page is misrepresenting a "universal cell phone charger" as a Garmin Nuvi charger. Maybe the other sellers offering this charger would ship a product that is compatible with the Garmin Nuvi's but I would advise anyone to beware of this product unless you confirm in advance that the charger you will receive meets the electrical requirements of your Garmin device.

Portable Travel Rapid 12V Home Wall AC Charger Review

The generic adapter did not charge the Nuvi 1350T. The Nuvi cycled on and off without taking a charge. It turns out that the adapter has different voltage/amp characteristics from the Garmin adapter. Perhaps the seller just sent me the wrong item among their collection of devices.
I contacted the seller (Crazy Digital) directly. They responded promptly and offered a full refund.

Universal Mini USB Car Charger Adapter, Black Review

Universal Mini USB Car Charger Adapter, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The adapter arrived just as it looks in the picture, and it sports a much better form-factor than the clunky alternatives found on Amazon. It's worth noting that the black circle next to the USB input is a blue LED indicator light, letting you know that the device has power. However, the blue light is rather bright. While I like the blue light, some might find it distracting when driving at night; it lights up a good bit of the car.
In my older Infiniti, I have to twist the adapter to find the sweet-spot to get it to hold a charge in the cigarette lighter. I think the problem may lie more with my car than the adapter, though. Once I find the sweet-spot, the adapter works just fine.
When I used the adapter in a 1996 Camry, I had a different result. The adapter worked just fine immediately. I tried twisting the unit to recreate the problem from the first car, but it never lost charge. I actually ran into an unexpected problem. The 1996 Camry has a recessed cigarette lighter, and the nice, small adapter fit into it absolutely flush -- so flush that I couldn't pull it out. I ended up having to loop string around the adapter and pull it out that way (worked like a charm).
The adapter seems to work just fine, and I have no problem recommending this for purchase -- just make sure your car doesn't have an overly-recessed lighter.

This product didn't work at all. After I plugged my garmin into it, at first, I thought it had ruined my Garmin. My GPS would no longer power on. When I used my gardmin in the car, it finally worked, I am afraid to try the charger again.
