Editorial Review :

This battery and charging system monitor displays the condition of your battery and charging system instantly. It protects the engine computer and 12-volt accessories from damaging surges when jump starting or recharging. You can easily plug into the vehicle's cigarette lighter or power receptacle to monitor battery and charging system voltage. It has an LCD screen which displays the measured voltage with a bar graph to indicate battery charge level and it also has color-coded LEDs which quickly identify the battery's charge status. The head pivots for easy viewing and angle adjustment.

Great if it worked for more then 1 day

It looks cool and worked great, but it only worked for 1 day and that was it. Perhaps just like everything else in life; You may get a bad batch from time to time.

Extremely Useful Diagnostic Tool

I was skeptical that something this inexpensive could be so useful. But once you plug this tester into your cigarette lighter, you'll see this this little device is a lot more intelligent than you might think.

With the car not running, the tester shows your battery voltage and status. A little battery icon tells you that the tester knows the car is not running, and that the LCD is displaying Battery Status. You can see the exact voltage on the LCD screen. Novices can simply look at the red, yellow, or green LEDs to quickly determine the health of your battery. To put your mind at ease, a little bar graph shows you the relative battery voltage.

Once you start the car, the little battery icon goes out and you see a little charging circle icon displayed - this tells you the device knows the car is running and that it is now displaying Charging Status. After you let the engine warm up, hold the engine at about 2500 RPM. The neat little LCD display now shows you the alternator's charging voltage. A green LED will satisfy you that the charging system is healthy, a yellow will caution you that your charging system might need some maintenance, and finally the red LED alerts you that your battery is being either under- or over-charged. The LCD display and graph indicates the exact nature of any problems.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT to note that your cigarette lighter socket must be COMPLETELY CLEAN for this tester to be happy and useful. Clean out the socket good with a plastic (NON-METALLIC!) brush, then blow any debris with a quick blast from a can of compressed air (blowing from your mouth is NOT enough). Proper operation of this tester will display the LCD voltage being stable, or moving either consistently up OR consistently down. If the voltage fluctuates erratically, or if the devices turns itself on and off, clean the cigarette lighter socket, then re-seat the tester firmly in the socket. If the device still behaves erratically, that's a sign that your battery terminals may be loose.

Most garages will charge you $20 a pop for what this wonderful tester does for a few bucks in three minutes. Someone with advanced knowledge of cars can have way too much fun with this tester.

AWESOME FOR MY BOAT

This monitor replaces my old one which I gave away at our yacht club. Couldn't find another one at Walmart so got them here. This newer version displays voltage to two decimal places, which is useful on my 38' Sabre cruiser since I use it to tell what the relative electrical draw is when I turn on a particular light or device. I have an analog voltmeter on my electric panel, but this is far more useful. I also finally realized that this monitor does in fact have some mysterious circuitry which lets it judge the level of charge in the battery banks not only in the 10-12 volt range, when the engine and its alternator are off, but it can do this even while charging, when the voltage is running in the 13-14v range. Apparently its program detects whether or not the system is charging and judges the level of charge accordingly. And it does all this by just sampling the voltage in the boat "cigarette lighter".
Its especially cheering that this automotive item works just fine for my boat since "Marine" equipment can be pricey. I bought three, one for the chart/electical area, one for my sleeping cabin and one for the cockpit so I can check battery use/ condition under sail when power can still be drawn down (GPS, Radar, radio),or in the evening when others may be using power (pumps, electic toilet, etc.) Drawing voltage down too far is bad for batteries and the worst case, not being able to start the engine, can be a disaster.

Best gadget for the best price

On the strength of very positive reviews in the Casita Travel Trailer forum, I bought one of these gadgets for the Christmas stocking of all the guys in my family. At $12,26 it is very affordable and simply works. Plug it into your 12V socket and turn on the ignition. It will instantly tell you the status of your battery. Start the engine and it will instantly tell you the status of your charging system. For boats, RVs, any vehicle where you need to carefully monitor your electrical system, this is the ticket.

Simply does what it is suppose to do!

I have a diesel truck that has gone through 4 alternators and 6 batteries in the last 8 years. After the last alternator I wised up and starting looking for a way to monitor this BUT didn't want to put an A pillar of gauges in the cab. I found this read tons of good reviews and bought it. I have used it for a fews months now through the winter and this little gem work like a charm! Probably the best 13 dollars I have spent in my life! Think about it what can you spend 13 dollars on for a car or boat that will save you a towing fee or being stranded. Best money I have ever spent PERIOD! I have bought several to give to family!

1. 55=110 watt XTRA

Editorial Review :

The Name Says it All! PIAAs Intense White bulbs produce a more radiant white beam without any hint of blue. This bulb has been completely re-engineered from the ground up. What youll see in the 9005 and 9006 bulbs is a larger glass tube with a white top coat. The larger glass tube increases output (28% whiter color than STAR WHITE) and allows the bulb to burn at much cooler temperatures. PIAAs new Intense White Bulbs provide the best possible balance between performance and bulb life.

Replacement light bulb for Motorcycle

Great stuff, much brighter than the stock (ninja 500). Oh, the shipping speed is incredible. I got the bulb the next day after I ordered it. Buy Amzon's stocks.

one word- Awesome.

Super bright, especially with an upgraded headlight harness, with an "intense" white, much whiter than the extreme H4's I had ran for years.

Great quality - but not that bright

These replaced Sylvania extra white bulbs on my Ford. These are not that much whiter or brighter than the Sylvanias, if any, and the Sylvanias are half the price. For my money, I don't think I'll replace with same after they die.

very happy

I bought this for my suzuki dr650 and I could see an immediate improvement when i installed this bulb. I even compared it to my friends stock bulb and mine was brighter. I don't think it was twice as bright but there was a considerable improvement. The white light it puts off was very nice and seems to make it easier to see obstacles at night. I would recommend this bulb for all riders and car owners.

Died After 1 Year, But Still Happy

I have had them installed on my Tacoma for the last year and overall have been pretty happy with them. At night they are very bright, brighter than most every other car on the road, but this also makes other drivers think I have my brights on so I get flashed by about one in 2 or 3 dozen people. Another thing to note is that during the evening these lights are much harder to distinguish on the ground than more yellow lights would be, but this may not affect most of you unless you are searching for small animals on the road during the evening like I am.

My driver side bulb just blew and I have had them in for about a year now. I have been very conservative about using them since I knew most halogens don't have long bulb life. This means I never had them on during the day and I kept the normal/brights switching to a bare minimum, yet I still only managed to get a year out of it. Of course, there's a possibility it was just a weak bulb so I'll append this review when the passenger side blows.

Despite what I consider to be a short life (maybe not compared to other halogens though), I will be purchasing another pair of these; partly because I have the intense white fog lights too and I want them to match, but also because I do love the pure white color of them at night and the fact that they are so much brighter than my stocks were.

These went in my interior of my MKV gti and they actually are perfectly bright. Don't push these in too hard though becareful I had to bend one of the prongs back cuz I did it to hard but they function perfect they're a little hard to hold but that's not and issue. I prob just have big fingers.

I have tried other LEDs but for the size versus output of light these have is great. Smaller than OEM 194 bulb but put out more light, stay a lot cooler, and have less draw on my vehicles electrical system.

Better than the big name bulbs

I seemed to blow through the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs VERY quickly. It seemed like I replaced each bulb every 3-6 months. I tried all their different gimmicks - cheap ones, expensive ones, long lasting, etc. I bought these Hella bulbs because they were a little less expensive. I can't remember when the last time was that I replaced a Hella. Overall, I'm very happy - they seem to last longer and are just as bright.
