Compact Car Socket 12V to USB 5V DC Power Adapter Review

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.

Dolica DZ4-4AA2500 1 Hour Battery charger with 4-Pack AA Rechargeable batteries and car adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Batteries don't hold a charge a very long time. It works if you need some quick batteries to get things going, but I'd seek higher quality name-brand ones for demanding equipment.

Philips DLP2277 Attachable Battery Pack and Charging Base for iPhone and iPod (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I ordered this item I was expecting only what the box suggested; a battery pack that could be connected to the iPod, which would charge the phone, and in turn be charged by the base station.
Instead what I got was a box full of goodies.
First you have the battery itself, which while of a fairly large size, seems to fit perfectly with the odd case I have for my iPod Touch. The connection from the battery to the iPod has some amount of flexibility, which is rather nice.
This battery can then be charged either by setting it on top of the charging station, or you can plug a USB (mini B, I believe) into it directly and charge that way.
The base station is of a nice enough design that I had no difficulty setting the battery on it.
It too has a USB cable for power.
Additionally the package comes with a power outlet to USB device, which means that I can also use my standard iPod cable to charge just the iPod. Since I was thinking I'd have to purchase one of these anyways, this makes for an extremely great package.
The only downside with this product is that the connection into the iPod is large enough that I can't plug into the headphone jack when the battery is connected. This is unfortunate, but can be worked around, and isn't a big enough issue that I'd downgrade my rating of 5 stars.
In short, an amazing number of components with the package, allowing for a number of charging possibilities.
