Peak PKC0A1-01 450 Amp Jump Starter Review

Peak PKC0A1-01 450 Amp Jump Starter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ive used this unit to successfully start my car when the battery was dead.I have 2 of these units, however, when i plug one of the units in to recharge it, the "charging" indicator light doesn't go on. The light does go on when charging the second unit.I'm not sure if its just the indicator light that's bad orif there is some problem with the unit accepting the charge.This is the reason for 3 star. It's fairly expensive and now i need to replace the unit that doesnt charge, i cant rely on it. I'm going to try the black and decker 450.

Schumacher IP-1875C Instant Power with Air Compressor Review

Schumacher IP-1875C Instant Power with Air Compressor
Average Reviews:

I had this jumper battery for a few months and I didn't use it until now that my friend's Saturn Vue V6 engine was not starting. I connected the clamps to his battery and the car started immediately. The battery status on this unit has 3 lights (red-yellow-green) and is very useful to know when to recharge it. It was on yellow status but it still could start several cars with ease. The air compressor and the flash light on the unit are also very useful. A very handy equipment for the price (when I bought it, it was $80)
I would recommend it.

Schumacher IP-75 Instant Power Portable Power Source Review

Bought this last week and gave it the full 36 hour charge.Tested it this weekend on my dad's 1988 Ford Escort. (4 Cylinder engine).To test it, I disconnected the negative cable from the Escort battery.The IP-75 started it, but barely.When I brought my dad out to see a second demonstration, it failed.Conditions were ideal; 70 degrees in the shade on the driveway.It's probably fine for motorcycles, lawn mowers or ATV's, but it's not really enough for much more.It's only 7 Amp hours.I think 12 Amp hours is the minimum for confidence.

Had it for 3 months. Dead as a doornail even after 2 day charge.
I imagine it's a problem with the quality of internal battery but who knows. Either way it's junk. Buyer beware.

Schumacher IPD-1800 Instant Power Jump-Starter with Docking Station Review

Schumacher IPD-1800 Instant Power Jump-Starter with Docking Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The reasons that I bought this charger is because it has a docking stations which can be used to charge and store the unit when not in use. After the charging is completed, the docking station will enter a "floating charge" mode to prevent overcharging. Some other charger need to be monitored carefully since overcharging can damage the battery. With this unit, I can just leave it and forget it... Also, this unit is small enough that my wife can use it to jumpstart her minivan. Some other multifunction charger are so heavy, you'd have to be a weightlifter to carry the thing.

Black & Decker VEC1086BBD Smart Battery 6/4/2 Amp Battery Charger Review

Black & Decker VEC1086BBD Smart Battery 6/4/2 Amp Battery Charger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this charger to charge the battery on my lawn tractor, that's all (although this will work for all of my vehicles too)!I didn't want aportable unit to jumpstart a vehicle or charge other accessories (this is just a vehicle batter charger like the box says).This charger is very simple to use with a one-touch button interface to get things going.I don't know anything about charging batteries or jumping vehicles but I was able to set this up and start charging in about 1 minute.

The included instructions are easy to follow and the charger is ready to go right out of the box.Connect the terminals per the instructions for what you are charging; plug the charger into a standard wall outlet (check for fault light indicating an incorrect connection) then press the one and only button to toggle to the desired amp level (explained in the instructions).

The amp levels are easy to see so selecting the correct one is easy to do.This charger is also fully automatic and will properly charge the battery on it's own at it's own pace for best performance and battery safety.The charger will tell you when it's done charging or if anything is wrong (if that's the case it will display the fault light or will just shut down).

I really like the foolproof design and features (the cables store in the back of the charger) of this simple easy to use charger.I'm not a very handy guy and electricity does make me a little nervous, but using this charger has been a great experience and a joy to use.Whether pro or beginner if you need a battery charger but are a little intimidated by the experience try this one you'll love it!
