 Couldn't Jump a VW Golf November 25, 2007
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The battery in my VW Golf tends to go dead because I don't get a chance to drive it much, so I bought this product with the hope that it would start it the next time it died. I charged it exactly as was stated in the manual and it still did not have enough juice to start my car. If it has this much trouble with a small Golf I don't imagine it would work much better with other cars.
It could just be that I received a defective unit but in my experience, it couldn't get the job done.

 Unsure of its quality October 30, 2007

I purchased two of these items one for each of our family cars.
During a recent battery drain I used the booster to jump start my car numerous times but was unsuccessful (although it had two full bars indicating ample power). I had thought my starter or alternator had gone bad but a tow truck with its booster was able to jump start me on one try.
I am certain the tow truck had a more powerful booster but this unit was rated well but failed when I needed it to work. I have yet to check to see if the booster is faulty. The rest of the unit works well.
not compatible w/ all vehicles October 27, 2007

I bought this product because the interior lights in my van are often left on and the battery drains quickly. I didn't test it, but when I needed it, it didn't work. It was not compatible w/ my 2004 Honda Odyssey or 1999 Honda Accord, but did work on a 1994 Ford F 150. I can't return it to the store because it has been over 90 days. Very disappointed in this product. I checked all the specs when I purchased it and it didn't say it wasn't compatible.
Excellent Jump Starter and More October 14, 2007

I just used this jump starter to start my pickup truck where the battery was dead as a door nail. The starter did exactly what it's supposed to do - start the motor quickly and easily.
I purchased this unit primarily for jump starting my cars in case of an emergency, but have found another great use. I tailgate a lot for football games and this unit's power supply is perfect for running a boombox (which I do)for hours and hours. You need a power inverter (very inexpensive at Radio Shack)to make this work.
The last time I used it for 4 straight hours, at my boomboxes highest volume, and it only used 1/3rd of the power supply.
Now I can listen to the pregame radio broadcast or music while tailgating without taxing my car's battery, which went dead the last time I turned up the volume for all to hear before a game.
I highly recommend this jump starter. It's a great value and is a great safety item to have if you have a family.
