User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Gilsson direct wire cable for GPS
It seems to work quite well. Cable was plenty long to go from the battery on the motorcycle up under the tank to the stem and up the handlebars to the RAM mount. I’ve used it for several hours straight, and it’s survived the rain (behind the fairing) and keeps working. I’m satisfied.

4 Stars Well Designed
This is a great product and works well installed on my motorcycle. The only complaint I have is that the wires are too high a gauge which made it diffcult to install terminal clamps.

5 Stars power adapter
Using it with my Garmin 350 and it works. This eliminates that cig lighter adapter :-)

4 Stars Gilsson GUSB5V-B Garmin Power Cord
Installed on Honda motorcycle, provided with plenty of cable length, works as intended. Only improvement would be to make at least somewhat water resistant to give it 5 stars. Used with a Garmin Nuvi 260.

5 Stars Gilsson GUSB5V-B Garmin Cable for Motorcycle works Great!
I installed the Gilsson GUSBV-B Garmin Direct Cable on my motorcyle to use for my Garmin GPS Nuvi 760. It works great. I really like it. It keeps my GPS charged and fully operational. I don’t have to worry about the batteries on my GPS dieing on long rides. I am very pleased with this product.

5 Stars Lowrance Cig Plug Power Cable
The website and purchaser was quick and easy to work with. Not only was the purchase available it was at a great price. Thank you so much!

3 Stars It works and you have no other choice
I use the cig plug adapter in many rental cars and it works fine. I think its bulky and I don’t like that you can bend the pins on the back of the GPS that plut into the cable if you’re not careful. It also feels “cheap.” The one that came with my GPS stopped working and the fuse didn’t even pop so I bought this replacement. On the motorcycle I use the hardwire directly to the fusebox. I think it’s a better quality cable but clearly not practacle for most people in most cars.

Xantrex Technologies XPower Plus 400 Watt Inverter 851 0400




The Xantrex Technologies XPower Plus 400-watt inverter provides portable power for trucks, RVs, boats, and minivans. By plugging the inverter directly into your vehicle’s 12-volt cigarette lighter, you can turn your vehicle into a mobile office and operate devices such as a 27-inch TV or 20-inch TV/DVD combo, a camcorder, and a laptop computer. This compact, lightweight unit automatically senses low battery voltage so you never have to worry about a depleted battery. It’s a quiet alternative to noisy, gas-powered generators; it will provide hours of emergency power during snowstorms or blackouts. The high-efficiency design transfers 90-percent of the battery’s power to your equipment, providing 400 watts for 5 minutes, 600 watts surge for easy startups, and 300 watts continuous power for operating appliances. An automatic shutdown mechanism protects against overload, over-temperature and low battery conditions. The inverter is equipped with two 3-prong grounded AC outlets, a DC outlet and hardwire applications. The durable plastic unit is 5.9-by-4.1-by-2.2 inches in size and just 2.4 pounds in weight. It is covered by a 1-year warranty.
