TYBATT AA 2800mAh Rechargeable Batteries Review

Good quality batteries with consistent power and a high mAh, I have been using rechargeable batteries for many years now but have never really fully understood the mAh and the difference between 1.2v and 1.5v with non-rechargeable batteries so before making a purchase I did a bit of research and decided on purchasing these with a good value price and high mAh. I use them in several devices and always keep a box of non-rechargeable batteries on my desk for the children’s toys as experience has taught me not to give them rechargeable as they often get thrown out with the toy when it breaks.

They arrived in a little flip top box containing the eight batteries in two separate clear plastic clip lock storage boxes quite neat for storage, these come pre-charged so two went straight into my Xbox One controller, I play every night and my daughter always plays at the weekend and this set lasted over 16 hours play before needing charging which is great as my old set only last around 6 now and a new set of non-rechargeable around 12 hours and then need throwing away.

As I said at the beginning I did a bit of research on the differences between 1.2v and 1.5v and the meaning of mAh so for anyone who is as I was and doesn’t know the mAh stands for milli Ampere hour or milli Amp hour and is a measure of the battery's energy storage capacity so the higher the mAh the longer it should last.

Non-rechargeable AA batteries normally have a 1.5v standard while AA rechargeable batteries normally have a 1.2v standard, with non-rechargeable AA batteries they start at 1.5v and make a steady decline in power and once they drop below a rate of 1.0v they cease to work depending on the device.

Rechargeable AA batteries normally have a 1.2v standard and the drop rate is different they keep at that steady power delivery rate until they are depleted giving a steadier power over an extended period, you can find some products need an initial delivery rate above 1.2v and rechargeable batteries will not work in such devices, I hope this is makes sense to anyone who didn’t know.

Summary
**********
Overall good solid high power batteries with a consistent power delivery that last for ages and are good value, I’m pleased with them.

AOOE Portable Waterproof Shower Speaker Review

Ideal little waterproof speaker for the shower, I wanted a small waterproof Bluetooth speaker for the bathroom shower exclusively that wasn’t going to cost me silly money but would still deliver a good sound and after a lot of searching this looked ideal.

It arrived in a branded blue and white box with the speaker, a micro USB charge lead and a simple but clear and easy set of usage instructions. After giving it a full charge I held the power button until it flashed then went to the Bluetooth on my Android phone and Q50 was showing up then it was a simple case of selecting that and it was connected, the volume is more than adequate for the bathroom and nice and clear even at the highest setting.

It’s been given a good test now in the shower and it gets a good soaking every time without any issues, the suction cup works very well being able to position it any place I want on the tiles and I always take it down after use as I am not sure it would stay in place permanently, the battery is good and charging it only takes a couple of hours for a full charge with the micro USB connection being on the bottom while it is hanging and a good solid rubber seal so no chance of any water getting in.

I tested the phone feature which works well but not something I will use as if I am in the shower they can wait :) skipping tracks works well with good solid buttons and a good range so I can leave my phone in the other room and it still keeps a good solid connection. I have added a video and will also add some pictures just showing going through connecting it up, playing a bit of music and skipping through tracks.

Warlock® Z Vape Box 233W Huge Vapour E Cigarette Mod Box Review

Good solid powerful modbox for the experienced user, I have been vaping now since the early beginning and have progressed from the first simple pen type to now having a lot of mod boxes and atomisers, I always justify getting a new modbox first of all by the massive amount of money I am not spending on cigarettes anymore and I have been mixing my own juice for over 5 years now and save a lot on that so compared to smoking it’s a cheap purchase. I wanted a heavy duty modbox for daily use that would take two batteries and I purchased a couple of 18650 3.7V 3500mAh at the same time.

It arrived in a black sleeved and branded lift top box opening up to the Warlock Z Vape being on top in a foam cut out and the micro USB charger lead and instructions under this, after unboxing it all I fitted the batteries and put the modbox on charge, I like the fact the micro USB charge connection is on the front of the modbox rather than on the bottom as with quite a lot which means you have to lie them down on their side to charge and if you have a slight leak in your tank it makes a mess, the modbox does not allow charge through vaping meaning you can’t vape and charge at the same time but not a big deal for me as I have other modboxes.

I had a good read through the manual and most of the settings are fairly standard to modboxes such as 5 clicks to turn it on and off and 3 clicks to cycle through the menu, it has a feature to flip the screen and lock the modbox, the feel of it is very nice with the cowhide material and I found the screen nice and clear with the menu very easy to navigate and solid buttons, I liked that you can slightly adjust with a short press on the plus or minus or cycle quickly by holding either button.

I gave it a good test with several of my atomisers and a RDA tank something I don’t use very often and think my next purchase should be a good RDA tank as I want to start using them more but need to research before I purchase as the one I have I don’t really get on with. The modbox delivers a good steady and consistent power stream and found it performed really well on all the atomisers I tried, the batteries (not supplied) lasted around two days of vaping but that’s for me and not really a guide as everyone vapes differently.

I have added a video and will also add some pictures just going through the unboxing, fitting the batteries, cycling through the menu and features then going on to vape on a variety of atomisers.

• Privately Made For You -- It is the ultra-updated vape kit that has perfect balance between high power, aesthetics and ergonomics. Delicate gentle of superior cowhide material and the perfect combination of hard alloys best suited your High Quality vaping lifestyle.
• Contains Endless Power -- An advanced new chipset to generate the super huge 233w Output power powered by dual 18650 batteries and is capable of delivering the massive pure vapor. Pairing with a lowest 0.07ohm is no problem, which definitely satisfied any vaper in every aspect.
• Excellent Pursuance -- Accurately Temperature Control suite delivers different pinpoint accuracy modes (VT-Ni/VT-Ti/VT-SS/VT-CE) which support for more wide variety of coil compatibility. Z Box Mod can give you the greatest freedom!

Summary

**********
Overall a very nice solid heavy duty modbox for the experienced user, I haven’t detailed the various settings as this is not a modbox for someone new to vaping it’s the next step for anyone vaping wanting to move to the next level so you will know what they want and are looking for features wise. I am really pleased with this modbox, it does everything I want and with two batteries it’s not constantly on charge so it gets full marks from me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

NAVISKAUTO IPS Screen HD 15.6 Inch Portable DVD Player Review

Simple to use with a good clear sharp display, I wanted a DVD player for my children for their collection of films but also wanted something portable that could be taken on trips to keep them entertained on the journey, play a multitude of media types through disk, USB and SD card and this fitted perfectly.

It arrived in a Naviskauto branded blue box well protected packed into inflated plastic padding with a box on the top containing the leads and remote control, after unpacking it I set it on charge and had a good read through the manual which I found to be very easy to follow giving good clear instructions backed up with pictures and illustrations with links to functions and features giving a good visual of what you should be seeing or doing.

Once it had charged I put the batteries in the remote control and tested out all the features working as they should, I tested it with a USB stick containing some footage from my action camera which worked perfectly, I was really pleased with the sharp and crisp picture and the swivel works really well being able to rotate and tip the screen into any desired angle, I then tested a SD card with some TV shows again working perfectly with no issues such as stuttering or delay what so ever, finally I tested a DVD film which worked perfectly. I have added a video showing the different media I tested and will also add some pictures

Overall I found this to be exactly what I wanted, the children love it and we have taken it in the car on a recent trip we made and it kept them nice and quiet watching a film, it comes with a cigarette adapter for the car should you need it but I did find the four hour battery claim to be just about spot on running for just short of 4 hours before the battery gave up. The display is crystal clear and I found it took no time at all from inserting the media to playing it, the remote control works well and was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality and how loud it would go without any distortion.

• 1920*1080 pixels 15.6 Inch IPS screen, Amazing display effect.

ICOCO RC Rolling Remote Control Cartoon Stunt Car Review

Good fun crazy car, my youngest daughter received some money for Christmas from her uncle with instructions to buy her something she wanted, my youngest daughter suffers from toy envy as her older sister has a remote controlled truck she plays with a lot but it’s really a bit too complicated for her younger sister as she’s only two so decided to have a look round for a toy she control and have fun with and this looked ideal.

It arrived in a nice branded box with a plastic display panel and was fairly easy to open up, the controller and truck being held and secured by plastic hand turn screws, after unpacking it I fitted two AA batteries in the controller with the cover being held in place by a small Philips head screw you need to remove and replace. The main car is ready fitted with rechargeable batteries that charge via a supplied USB lead connection, one of the main reasons I went for this car as it saves a lot of messing about hunting for batteries and changing them when they run out, I put the car on charge and after it was fully charged it was time to give it a test.

The control is very simple with the left being backwards and forwards and the right controlling the spinning front section turning left or right, it has a button on the front to start the music and buttons on each side below the movement paddles which you can use to put it into a demo/auto stunt mode going through a variety of modes, my daughter loves it and has been bouncing it round the floor all over the place, it’s extremely robust and has now been battered round the floor for many hours bumping into almost everything there isn’t a mark on it.

I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing, fitting the batteries in the controller then going onto test it finishing up with my daughter playing with it.

• SUPER FUN AND COOL: 360 degree spinning and displays a colourful LED light while in motion. Beautiful and streamlined body design with sparkling bright colours for your kids delight.
• MOVES IN ALL DIRECTIONS: This stunt rc car have 6 wheels and 4 channels controls. The up 4 wheels rotate 360 degrees freely. This radio control car builds fine motor skills in toddlers and inspires imagination and an interest in driving.
