The PC5 is a Powerful 5 Watt Compact Solar Charger that can both charge and actually run at the same time iPod, iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, Palm, eReaders, game devices or any other portable device Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this product Online, spoke to the owner of the company and immediately ordered mine! The PC-5 is worth every penny and then some! I am a hugh solar advocate and have many other solar chargers in my arsenal. Because of the speed at which this charges from the sun, I now use it to charge other solar chargers because they see the PC-5 more as a USB wall charger than a solar charger. This means these other chargers will be ready for use faster than they charging themselves! That is amazing!! I have used it to charge my phones, iPods, and even my iPad. As time marches on, I am sure that more applications will present themselves. I will conduct a race between the PC-5 and Voltaicsystem's Amp Solar Charger to see which one charges my Solio hybrid Solar Chargers faster just out of curiosity. I love both the PC-5 and the Amp Solar Charger and have already strongly recommended them to friends and family!

Powerful Solar Charger for iPod, iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, Palm and most all small electronic gadgets including GPSs, eReaders, and portable gaming devices. It even charges the iPad in good sunny weather. This is not an ordinary small solar charger. These use high efficiency solar cells like the ones used in industrial grade solar systems. The solar cells in the PC5 charger really pack a punch!See if any other small solar charger can match the same solar energy output in such a small package.Other solar chargers use a small solar panel to trickle charge an internal battery, which takes forever! Their solar panels are too weak charge your device directly. So they charge your device from an internal battery instead. When the internal battery fails(which it inevitably will, since it's being baked in the sun constantly), you have to throw the whole thing away. Our PC5 solar charger will not only charge your device, it will run it directly from the sun.And it will last for years. Use the PC5 solar charger to charge your handhelds while camping, picniking, at the beach, by the pool, or ball games.Use it to solar charge your devices when there is no other power available. Take it hiking with you to charge that GPS device Use it for emergency power and disaster power relief. Most of the time cell phones still work when there is no electricity.Be the only one with a fully charged phone! No power no problem.Loose your wall charger? Why not start charging from solar?

Ultrafire Li-ion 18650 3000mah Battery Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very decent 18650 secondary cell (not a battery) with the Ultrafire brand. Not sure if the 3000mAh claim is true, but I can vouch for the fact that it lasts a bit longer than other cells I own (a few Trustfires, a few Ultrafires and a few Tenergys, rated between 2400mAh and 2600mAh).
The button top feature means that they will work well in spring-less flashlights (no need for a magnet-button).
The protected feature means they have a chip on board that protects it from over-charge and under-discharge. If over-charged (over 4.2V in layman's terms) the cell overheats and may explode (it's called "thermal runaway"). The explosion itself is a chemical rupture-explosion, a very nasty thing. If under-discharged (used under load until it drops under 2.75V, in laymen's terms), a chemical reaction makes the cell unstable, dangerous and unusable. The chip onboard should protect against this. If you are running a flashlight until it gets dim and hits the low treshhold, the cell shuts down - you should throw it away. I never run my cells below 3V, and my charger takes care not to charge more than 4.2V.
Never leave the charger unattended overnight. Put the charger in an area where a potential explosion does the least damage (a fireplace, if you have one, is great). When the little light on the charger turns green, take it out. Get a voltmeter and measure. Under no load, the voltage should be 4.0-4.2V. The nominal voltage is 3.7V, that's what should read when the cell is under load. Let is sit 20-30 mins after a fresh charge and before using it - this cools it and "settles" the chemistry inside.
Your charger should also protect against overcharging. Naturally (duh...), you must use a charger made for charging 18650 cells. This cell will not even fit in a Wallmart/Kmart/Target found charger. This cells are not available in retail. Their size is different from AA, AAA, C, D, etc... And yes, you would charge a Li-Ion cell with a... Li-Ion charger.
As far as compatible chargers, just type 18650 in the Amazon search and go down the list. The DSD charger is very popular and praised for it's simplicity, you also can't go wrong with Tenergy products, it's a US company with a lot of pride in quality control. Personally, I use a Pila charger and I have several DSD ones.
Amazon did not do anything wrong here, description is fine and all specs are accurate, so please disregard the previous rant against Amazon (and not related to the product).
This cell is great. If you know what a 18650 is for and what it does, then buy this with confidence. If you don't know what this is, please step away from this page, this is not for you and you might get hurt - chemical fire is very nasty.
I use these cells primarily in hi-power Cree led flashlights. If you want to build a pack (for example, in robotic applications), you're probably better off going with unprotected button-less. After you solder your pack together (careful not to overheat - heat is another Li-Ion fire starter) you should attach a custom made protection circuit to the entire pack. The protection circuit is a must-do requirement!
Most importantly - use common sense. If you don't have one, do not buy/use these cells.
Price is a bit steep, but if you want crazy life-on-the-edge performance, and more importantly, you know what you're doing, then this cell is for you.

Protected 18650 3000mAh rechargeable 3.6 volt battery - charge with the Ultrafire Multi-Battery charger. The advantage of this cell is that it features a button top making it particularly compatible with many flashlight applications. Rechargeable Lithium batteries are rapidly becoming a very economical way to lower the operating costs of Lithium-Powered flashlights. We offer a number of different options in order to meet any rechargeable needs. These are Protected batteries. These fully protected cells simplify usage with their integrated PCB. Perfect for your single cell application these cells are not for pack building as doing so will defeat the PCB protection which is matched to the correct voltage on a single cell. If you are building a pack please choose one of our other cells and the appropriate PCB.
