Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Wow aka THREE TIMES!!
This is awesome! One drawback, the directions are a little confusing. There are two sets, one in the little pamphlet, another in the form of stickers on the actual product. One says charge 12 hours before using, the other says 48 hours. One says, for jump-starting, connect directly to the battery, the other says connect as you would to another car (red cable to red terminal, black cable to a non-moving metal part of the engine or "ground"). I did it connecting to a ground and that worked. It also said let sit for five minutes before starting your engine, but I tried it right away and that also worked fine.
BUT WAIT, this is the amazing part. I bought this for a relatively crappy car that may or may not have an electrical leak, but it's mostly a secondary car that I don't drive often enough anyway. Within a number of weeks, I have used this thing THREE TIMES without charging. Again, directions say charge immediately after each jump, but THREE TIMES. And the little guage on the side of it STILL says 100% ready charge, and the light still turns on bright and everything....... WOW
Also, you don't have to lug it inside and plug it in to recharge. If you're worried you can plug it in to the cigarette lighter and recharge it while you drive, so it'll be ready next time you park. But again, I did not do this, 3 times WITHOUT charging and still at 100% (Course, I followed the 48 hour instructions, so I started at about 110-115% charge... probably should have mentioned that sooner :p )
Bottom line: works exactly as advertised. Is cheap compared to other brands. Definitely worth every penny.
They did charge me shipping for 25 lbs, even though it actually weighs 15 lbs, but still worth it. + See Full Customer Review |  |
