It's an incredibly compact unit, and it has built-in cables which can be wrapped right onto the chassis, which saves an incredible amount of space and makes it very easy to carry/move/store. I had a riding lawnmower that was draining batteries and constandly needed to be jumped off of my truck battery, which was incredibly cumbersome. Carrying this starter out to the lawnmower, jumping it, and then mowing the lawn was 100 times easier than backing out my truck, popping the hood, untangling the cables, pulling the mower out in front of the truck, and then jump-starting it. I've since repaired the lawnmower, but am keeping this handy little charger around for my wife's car, just in case she needs it. It barely takews up any room at all, and it holds quite a charge. I've jump-started my riding lawnmower twice and the battery indicator didn't even drop (I would imagine a car would take a much higher charge and therefore drain the battery more), but it still shows how much this charger is capable of holding If you're looking for a portable jump-starter, this is the one for you. 39 of 44 people found the following review helpful. A jump for me and you, and you and me By Disabled Smurf I have an remote starter on my car and after work I figured I'll start my car as I walk to it. The car didn't start but the headlights were on. I went inside the car and tried to start it with the key and nada. No noise or anything. My automatic starter must've glitched. I kept trying to turn the key to start my car in hopes by magic it'll turn over. NO luck. I stopped to think for a second and then figured I'll put the car in valet mode (it's for the auto starter) to see if I could bypass the remote starter. I did and nothing. My last option was to see if i killed the battery by trying to start it so many times I took this out of my trunk that hasn't been charged in 4 months and connected the red to the red battery terminal and the black to a nut some where on the engine. The green light turned on telling me I had a correct circuit. I then turned the knob to power on the jumper. I ran to the driver's seat and tried to start it. A sign of life! It's trying to turn over. I counted to 4 and then tried it a second time and it turned right on. The scream i let out could have been heard in China (where it was most likely made). I can't tell you how awesome this unit is. I used it several times for my DC accessories and it last a very long time. This product has yet to disappoint me. 5 STARS! Thanks for reading. 25 of 27 people found the following review helpful. Great Value By Robert My Mazda3 would not start, battery cells dried out or just getting old. Had to call AAA twice and at the same time ordered the unit in fact, low battery again, the car will not start, a peak load to complete the rescue, immediate success. He drove the car on the road for a while now and seems fine. With the peak on the back is no longer a need to worry about getting caught or calling AAA. Its best features: low cost small recharge at home using AC or DC drive through, all cables included. Two things to watch: When the load (and this is true for any unit of this type) I tend not to touch the painted surface, you should get in touch with the raw metal. If the soil is in contact with a painted surface, the contact indicator units may give a false reading of contact. Use the ground terminal of the battery at your own risk, if this happens for some reason, make sure that no liquid or vapor from the battery. The built-in indicator that shows the strength of the units should be used when the unit is actually charging, the reading could occur otherwise false.
