Hitachi UB12D Torch 9.6-Volt to 12-Volt Pivoting Head Flashlight Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have researched this device, and it appears to NOT include the battery, or charger, even though the picture includes a 12v battery.
So, buyer beware: unless you already have a compatible system, this is an incomplete product. FYI!

HQRP 50 Watt Solar Panel 50W Power 12V Monocrystalline PV Module plus HQRP Coaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Initially, I want to warn people who are amateurs like me that the MC (Multi Contact) cables that Amazon recommended for this solar panel WILL NOT WORK and the correct cables, apparently, are not available on Amazon. What you need is referred to as Multi-Contact Solarline 2 on some sites or MC4 on other sites. Yes, confusing for a newb. Fortunately, I found adapters on eBay that will link the newer cables from the solar panel to the older cables Amazon recommended. They are called: Solar Panel Power Cable Adapter MC3 Female to MC4 Male - you'll also need male to female.
Hope this saves others an expensive le$$on.
I'll update this review when I receive the adapters from eBay....

UPDATE: These are good little panels at about $53/amp. I chose these instead of the 85 watt panels because I am making a portable power setup - these are about 10 inches smaller. The 85 watt panels are almost twice the amps for about $100 more.

Just be aware the connectors on this panel are the new MC4 Solarline 2, not the old MC3 Solarline 1 that Amazon was selling.
If you bought the old cables as I did, the adapters to connect the old cables to the newer connectors of the solar panel can be found on eBay here:

The male to female adapters are further down the page. If you don't find it there, the seller for the above eBay link sells both. You would need both male and female.

(More customer reviews)Excellent price and well built solar panel and charger. As good as my BP panel. Liked the Led display on charger.

Vector 1089A 12 V Battery Charger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this charger (Vector 1088) for a few years, and probably used it 15-20 times. It was a fantastic product out of the box, with ease of use and a range of electronically controlled functions I'd never enjoyed in a car battery charger. The case is surprisingly well-constructed considering it's made of a lot of plastic parts. The touchpad still operates well and is very logically arranged. But over time it's failed to hold up.

It's developed a buzz, starting last year, which is growing worse. I suspect a capacitor in the power supply is going out. It never charged marginal batteries well; it always refused to deal with severely drained cells. And it's been giving me bogus F03 error codes for a while now. The cooling fan started whacking out last summer, and the bearing noise got so bad that I disassembled it to lubricate the fan bearings (cheap fan, seen it many times on PCs). It doesn't like cold temperatures; it acts erratically in frigid weather and I've learned to just remove batteries and bring the whole assembly indoors to get a good charge. Again I suspect subpar electrical components.

Overall I can't enthusiastically recommend this charger, but neither can I un-recommend it if a buyer finds one at a reasonable price. My previous charger, an old-style mechanical Schumacher, lasted a month before it literally fell apart in my hands. I have no idea what to buy next, or if anyone really makes a reliable automotive battery charger anymore. I guess "good" is relative.
