 Not a happy camper
By Vermont Ken
Received the EKLIPES motorcycle GPS adapter. Mounted it on my bike. Tried to use the waterproof cover attached to the adapter and found it was TOO BIG to fit in the adapter… How in blazes do they trade something like that? Had to use my dremel to grind the cover down to size to fit. The only word that comes to mind is “incompetance”. How does something like that get by product developemnent and product testing? Oh I know, THEY DON’T HAVE ANY!

 Accessory adapter
By Ralph Germann
This adapter is perfective for my cell-phone recharge wire. I use my Nokia E71X AT&T Navigator GPS when I ride cross country. Very commodious is the adapter’s end fixture that plugs into my Battery Buddy recharge wire, which I keep attached to my bike’s battery. The only complaint I have is the internal wiring in the molded rubber plug fixture has a loose connection and the connection to the battery is intermittently broken with engine and road vibration. I haven’t tried replacing it on warranty as I’m always using the adapter.

 Low quality, not so low price
By Mark Bench
The package includes a harness to connect to the battery, and a cigarette lighter adapter to connect you accessories. Comparing the harness with the ones provided with other merchandise (i.e., Deltran battery tender) the Eklipes is of a much inferior quality and it looks cheaper, too. Eyelet connectors are not very good, and the fuse holder does not have a secure cap (it have a tendancy to fall). In addition, the workmanship on the connectors could be improved. In regards to the adapter, it comes with a cap more spectacular than the adapter, so I ended up cutting it out and not using it. The cigarette adapter is usable but not the best out there, and the harness could be employed for an application where there is no much vibration (I won’t use it in a motorcycle), and where does not need to have a good seal for the fuse (I won’t use it in a boat). For a few extra bucks you could get something of a much better quality.
