Both of these items can be found on Amazon with reviews for each. They are nearly the same with the exception that the S3686E is a slightly more powerful motor, 14amp vs 12amp and comes in a different color and is more expensive then the SC3683A. Search for both model numbers on Amazon and read the reviews.

Sorry, other then looks I can't tell a difference. What I do know is that I only paid $65 for the 1923, not the $82 being advertised now. that was about a month ago. I wouldn't have bought it for $82 since $65 was at the top of my price range.

I have a watch dog system now, which I ordered the Wayne 3300 to replace it . The old system only has a 40 MV charger and will not support a 27 series Battery 1yr old. For right now I added a 1.25A tender till the Wayne arrives. I think the Wayne system puts out a .80 MV charge which should handle the 27(charging amps do make a difference )Large H/D Batt. require (1) amp at least for a full charge. Does anyone know the lift for the 3300 Wayne ?

I'm guessing you already got your answer, but I figure I would post for anyone else who might want it. The 250a is not a model number. That's just describing 250 AMPS. The 250EX is a 250 AMP TIG welder without the plasma cutter feature of the multi-process 250S listed here.

They recently changed their motor. Previous model (grey) is 45 watts on low, 55 on medium, 71 on high. The new model is 51 on low, 65 on medium, and 80 on high.

I am confused by this as well. Why would the older, out-dated version cost more? It is not an antique!

I have the 18v and it works great; lots of torque. I got the 20v for a friend who helped me with a remodeling project. I've used them both, side by side, and I'd go with the 20v just because it's a newer series. As far as performance, they seemed identical to me. We were driving 6 inch screws in creosoted lumber, so they were working plenty hard.

I don't know the difference between the two--only that one is a newer model than the other. You should research the model numbers.

In addition to a bit of a difference in sound (though that difference is often overstate, in my opinion), the newer model is also more efficient and will be driven more easily by weaker amps.

Hello, I'm not sure what the "older" model was, ours was a 10" 12v that we loved.The newer model has Smart Power technology. It chooses which power option is most efficient. It will run on AC, DC, has it's own rechargeable batteries and you can also use and addition D-cell batteries. That is something that is now made too clear when you are shopping for them. It has internal batteries and you can add D batterries, so you have the option of 4 power sources. The fan motor is also improved to run on less power...giving you longer run time. It has a USB port also. It is a good fan. I'd shop around, I paid more for ours, but I see you can get them under $45 now.

Ben, if you have a batteries plus close by, take it there and they will install it for free and you will get a 20 ah battery vs the 18 ah one that comes from the factory!

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

I have not seen the two together, but from reading the descriptions, it looks like one of the main differences is the extra battery included with the more expensive one. If one had a large area to clean, this might come in handy.

There is no difference between the UV-82 and the UV-82L.After I contacted Baofeng directly and asked them about it, they told me that the UV-82L has been re-labled by a Re-seller who is trying to charge more money for the same radio. Saying it is a New and Upgraded unit. It is not.They also do not make a 3400 ma battery. The batteries are 1800ma batteries re-labeled to 3400ma so the greedy vendor can charge more for them.Buyer beware.The Radio is a good unit and works fine. it is an upgrade over the UV-5r , louder audio, better antenna, and a full 5 watts of power, so if you find one at a good price go ahead and buy it. Just remember that the labels are misleading.

I'm not an expert on these things but I read a lot of ratings for several different ones. The 1700 amps and reviewers are claiming they start bigger vehicles. It sounded like the most power I could get short of some professional models (professionals use ones like this, too). I don't know what you mean about auto charge. The older ones you had to watch charging but this one you can plug it in and leave it on. It was cheaper before Christmas, $109 something. It's just too heavy and clumsy for me. My son-in-law will love it with his bigger vehicles.

My guess, emphasizing guess, is that the price is cheaper because they already have the new Cobra Bio line out. I still like and use the amp cell clubs. If you get them at a highly discounted rate, more power to you, I say.
