DataMINE memory card line


Today Accessory Power released a new line of memory cards to the masses. Their new line is called DataMINE and comes in 2GB SD, 4GB microSD, 4GB SDHC, 8GB microSD, 8GB SDHC, 16GB microSD, and 16GB SDHC. These cards are rated a blazing fast Class 6; with a 6MB/sec minimum transfer rate, you can’t buy a card faster than these. Basically that’s a lot less time you have to spend waiting for your great images you shot to show up on your LCD screen. Too often, manufacturers put out memory cards without putting much thought into them, but this is not the case with the DataMINE line, even the packaging and branding are spot on. I’ve been playing with the 16GB SDHC and it’s been lightning fast. It’s getting ever so important to have fast and reliable memory cards on hand, especially with all the DSLR’s that are doing full HD video now. 16GB’s is a lot of space, and if you’re using a small point and shoot camera or using the card for your phone or music device, it’s going to hold a lot of images and music. The prices of the cards vary, but they are reasonable. Really though, with memory cards I’d rather pay a bit more for the security and peace of mind that comes with a quality card. A couple years ago I made the mistake of buying a fake SanDisk card on ebay, it worked out fine at first, but one day I turned my camera on and everything I had shot the night before was gone. Even trying to rescue the card with back-up software didn’t help. The new DataMINE cards feature Accessory Power’s DataSafe technology, so you know that your information is safe and secure. Currently you can purchase them at our Amazon store front here and soon on our website www.accessorygenie.com

Are Replacement Laptop Batteries for Me?

Replacement laptop batteries have become more popular over the years as consumers begin to realize the added benefits of not dealing directly with the manufacturer. Replacement laptop batteries often cost less than the manufacturer’s price and are of equal or better quality, depending on the manufacturer you purchase from.

Most laptop batteries have a rating system in place to help make your buying decision easier. Look for good, high quality ratings. You may also want to check out reviews of the company you are dealing with. You can check the Better Business Bureau or one on the hundreds of company review sites.

Knowing who you are buying from adds a sense of relief and removes any worries you may have previously had about the company. Company assurance is the biggest factor in not buying from a company. Not knowing about the company such as an address or phone number can make the company look as though they are a SCAM or a rip off. Do your homework and read as many reviews as possible.

Once you have found a good, reputable company your next step is finding your laptop battery OEM number. Usually this is located on the battery near the serial number and the other coding numbers. Make sure you know the correct OEM number so you can avoid any headaches or returning incorrect batteries for the correct battery.

Once you have your replacement battery chosen you can proceed to the checkout and place your order. Once the battery arrives there are steps you can follow to ensure you get the maximum potential and battery life from your replacement laptop battery.

Professional Photographers Love the New Battery Grips for Canon SLR and DSLR Digital Cameras!

Battery grips are an extension for your Canon digital camera. The canon battery grip extends your Canon SLR and DSLR cameras battery life by adding an additional battery pack to the bottom of your digital camera. You can double the battery life of your camera, doubling the amount of pictures you can take. They are vertically inserted into your camera making it easier to grip and hold.


There are two types of battery grips for Canon Cameras. There is a battery grip that is compatible with Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS, 1000D, XSI, 450D, T1i, 500D digital cameras. There is also another battery grip for Canon EOS 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D digital cameras.


Professional photographers are raving about these ingenious devices saying they cannot shoot photos without them. It makes it easier and more convenient to have a spare battery pack in your camera, rather than in your camera bag. It can make or break missing that important shot. It is nice to give your camera two extra batteries or six AA rechargeable batteries.

Nissan offers iPhone App to Check Electric Cars Battery Levels

In the near future we will all be driving some sort of vehicle that does not run on what we now call gasoline. We will be using an alternative, more efficient and environmentally friendly fuel. Some cars may run on solar power, water, electricity, or new and unheard of methods. These will all be great for the globe, environment, and overall life. We will be a cleaner, more efficient society.

Recently with the wave of alternative vehicles hitting the market Apple decided to jump in with an innovative application. The new Apple app will allow drivers of electric vehicles to view their battery life. Currently, electric vehicles do not show how much battery life is left, so the new app will be of great help to those who drive electric cars.

Currently, the app is being set for Nissan cars and will come out within the upcoming months. With the application users can view their cars battery level and see when the battery needs to be recharged. You can be as far away from your vehicle as you want and still be able to take battery level readings. The app will also remotely turn on the cars air conditioning, which can help conserve battery life.

This app is just the future for what is coming. Soon we will see apps that can initiate a battery recharge, and whatever else the mind can dream up.

Aftermarket vs OEM Batteries- Who Wins?

A big debate is over original equipment manufacturers versus aftermarket manufacturers. Many times people shopping look to buy a name brand battery for their electronic devices; often ignoring the aftermarket battery section. Shoppers worry aftermarket batteries are not made with the same standards of OEM batteries, do not last as long, cannot hold a charge, are flimsy, or unreliable. These are all major concerns, but doing the proper research can help you find the complete opposite of what was described above.

Aftermarket batteries are often made to charge and hold a charge longer than OEM batteries. They are often made with the same quality standards; making them nearly identical. Aftermarket batteries can be made superior to OEM batteries, and still cost less. This is the main reason aftermarket batteries sell; they are almost half the price of the OEM battery.

Aftermarket batter chargers are typically the same, if not better, than OEM battery chargers. The same reasons above apply to this.
