1. When it arrived, I was PLEASANTLY surprised to see that it used detachable USB cables for each charger – vehicle and wall. WOW! I can carry either tip (vehicle/wall) and one detachable USB cable to plug into each. These detachable cables also let me connect my Kindle 2 to my PC for file transfers (like the original USB cable/charger that came with my Kindle 2).

2. I bought this for the car charger. Nice that there is also a wall charger. Somewhat redundant that there are 2 cords since they are detachable from the charger itself. One cord would suffice since it could easily be plugged into either. The wall charger does the job but it is considerably more bulky than the Amazon charger.

Customer feedback:

1. I keep the car charger in my car, with no extra cables to burden it, and I keep the wall charger plugged into the wall. The cable retracts easily, with a design much like that of a window blind (pull until you let go, where it locks, and then pull a bit more and let go to release). It’s a small, unobtrusive, and incredibly convenient device for your iPod, and at this price, it’s a steal. You’d pay two or three times this at some electronics stores for the wall charger or car charger alone, let alone one that is so solidly constructed. No question — if you own an iPod, purchase this product.

2. This kit is one that no iPod user should be without. The pieces are well constructed, and the wall charger beats Apple’s own overpriced model. Also reasonably priced. I am very satisfied with this product.

The Actron ABS BrakeScan is an innovative and affordable solution to brake repairs. Developed by the same experts that designed the first retail Check Engine Light reader and scan tool, the Actron ABS BrakeScan connects to most domestic vehicles 1996 and newer and allows you to diagnose Anti-Lock Brake problems on your own. The appearance of an ABS light on the dashboard typically signals an expensive trip to the mechanic. Actron arms do-it-yourself mechanics with tools previously only available to professional technicians. BrakeScan helps identify what parts are required to fix ABS-related problems, allowing you to avoid a trip to the mechanic’s shop.
In the event that you do need to visit your automotive professional, the Actron ABS BrakeScan gives you the information you need before you go. The BrakeScan’s robust code library is embedded right in the tool, and you can view necessary information on the large, backlit screen. Being empowered with this wealth of knowledge enables you to visit your auto technician with confidence.

Product Features

* Reads and displays ABS trouble codes
* Embedded code library conveniently shows code definitions on-screen
* Battery backup retains most recent vehicle scan
* USB connectivity keeps the unit up-to-date for future vehicles
* Compatible with all domestic vehicles 1996 and newer

1. This is to ABS what the other Code Scan tools are for your engine. It gives you historical codes and current codes so you can get a good over all picture of whats happening. You must have a basic understanding of ABS and the Sensors / Components that make up the system. If you do then this is the tool that will save you a fortune by not having to take your vehicle to a dealer! If you have no idea of how ABS works, keep taking your car to the dealer or learn fast so you can save! Only possible complaint some may have is that the tool will not reset the ABS light like you can with the Check Engine light with the other scan tools. Me personally, I want to see the historical codes so that I can ascertain if a problem is intermittant or not.

2. For the price, this is a pretty nice ABS scanner. You can’t find anything close to it’s price for your ABS problems. Plugs into the same OBDII port as your normal OBDII scanners so it’s simple to connect. Once it tells you what the problem is, it’s still up to YOU to know how to fix that problem. ABS scanners unlike OBD scanners, you can’t just erase the code(s). When you fix the problem, the ABS light should go off all on it’s own. All ABS systems Self test when you first turn the key on to check and make sure everything is working, of course it can pass that test and when you start driving then Pop the light on from something like a wheel sensor not sending the correct Data to the computer. Unplugging the battery is of last Resort. Doing so can on some cars screw up all the settings for the Engine to run right for example, and it will not Idle correctly and run smoothly until you take it out for a drive for 40 miles or so. This is also why it’s bad to replace your battery just before you go in for a Smog Check It can cause you to fail.

Battery Tender Plus is the most advanced charger/maintainer on the market specially designed for today’s sealed lead acid batteries. The Battery Tender Plus uses micro-processor technology in a four-stage charging profile to charge, improve, and float your battery so it is ready when you are. Constant current charging and regulated voltage patterns allow the battery to be recharged fully and safely without the fear of overcharging. Constantly monitors the battery without the damaging effects of trickle chargers- a trickle charger will eventually boil dry or overcharge a battery. Battery Tender Plus` voltage output compensates for temperature changes- providing additional protection. Initial charge brings battery to full charge at approximately 14.2V. After full charge is reached- converts to float charger and monitors battery at 13.2V. Although a constant charge is being applied to the battery- there is little or no current (approx. 10mA)

Product Features

* Temperature compensated for optimum charge voltage
* Automatically switches from full charge to float charging mode for top performance
* Reverse polarity protection to ensure user safety
* 10-year warranty
* Safe operation

1. Every time I want to fire up my old 71 Datsun (that’s Nissan for those of you younger than 30) 240 Z there’s a good chance that the battery has drained down and that I can’t start it! Looking around at car forums I read about this nifty little gadget….It’s like a battery trickle charger….sort of. Whereas it’s not recommended to keep a trickle charger hooked up all the time, this one has circuitry to limit the current and sense when the battery needs charging. It only charges at 1.25 amps which is easier on the battery.
I’ve had it on for a month now and it’s great. The first couple of days, the red light was on indicating charging. Since then it’s been on green and the car starts right up. I live in Houston where the heat and humidity can be just as brutal on batteries as the cold. I highly recommend this “tender” for those that have cars that stay unused for long periods.

2. I have a 4 year old Accord that, due to circumstance, only has about 4400 miles. Rarely driven…and what driving is done is mostly at night. Sat for a week once in very cold weather…dead battery. Ordered this. Hooked it up. 100% charge and the battery is very powerful once again.( had thought I would probably need a new one).
It’s very small size makes it extremely easy to use and store. And it will not overcharge, so you do not have to babysit the process. It’s LEDs glow red when charging. Green and red blink once 80% has been achieved. Solid green at 100%.
It did, in very cold weather, take a long time to establish a full charge on my almost completely discharged battery. The battery would have been usable in a few hours, but 100% took close to 18. Highly recommended.
