Summary: Not Perfect, But A Must Have
Review: Essential equipment for the m515 user.

The device has a little light on its neck that turns from red to green when the battery has been fully recharged. I like this.

It seemed to take my m515 about an hour to take a full charge when I was on the road with it the first time, during which it was used very lightly (I looked up two phone numbers). I don't know if the speed is a function of the m515's battery or the charger itself.

The cord could be a little longer to enable easier use of the Palm whilst it is being charged.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Works as it should
Review: No complaints about this device. It works just as it should. I find it very handt when away from my desk for long periods of time, when I might not need a "sync" but just a charge.

Summary: On the road a lot? Have a Palm? Get one of these today...
Review: One of the great selling points for me about the Palm m130 (beside the color screen) was the rechargeable internal battery...a battery I never guessed would deplete as quickly as it does. However, with my old m125 I noticed how quickly the AAA batteries would go if I used the backlight, so I shouldn't be surprised how much power it takes to create the color screen image on my Palm...I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I was caught off guard anyway. The point is, whether you use your Palm a little or a lot, the battery gets sapped rather fast. One partial solution was the Palm Car Charger. I plug mine in every time I get into my car, whether I'm on a long or short trip. I have also noticed that it seemed to charge FOREVER without doing much in the way of actually increasing my battery, but after repeated use, I noticed it worked more efficiently. Whether this is a built-in feature, or just a fluke, I have no idea, but don't be surprised if at first you begin to think yours doesn't work.

All in all my car charger was well worth the expense. If you are having a hard time keeping your handheld from running dangerously low on battery power, you may want to consider buying this little baby and remember to give it some time before you worry about returning it for a refund. Good luck!
