Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was about to buy this jumpstart system from amazon and noticed that Target had it instore for around $15 cheaper (look at more buying options to the right of your screen and find it instore if the store is in your area).
Things to note before you decide to go buy the jumpstart system.
1. Look at the cranking AMPs (ampere is quantity of electric charge). You want to look for something above 400 AMPs , this Duracell has about 400 AMPs. I personally prefer LOOKING at my battery in my car and getting a jumpstart system with around the same crank amps as my batteries CCA( cold crank amps) at 0 F, the battery has this rating on it. Note: The more the amps the more your pay.
Do not look at the peak AMPs rating, those are manufacture ratings so rather useless.
2. Avoid all the bells and whistles, trust me, just go for what you buying, a jumpstart system. Okay may be a polarity reversal alarm and a flash light on it and a 12 volts cigarette connector.
3. Differentiate between a battery charger and a jump starter. Read what you are getting.
4. What car are you buying it for? SUV (V8) need more power than four cylinders(smaller cars). Again do not go for a 300 amp jumpstart system on a SUV, you setting yourself for disappointment, spend a little more, feel more comfortable.
5. AC charger for this jumpstart system comes is 13.8 Vdc, 400 mA. Do not use anything else to charge it, this is because you cause fluctuations to your jumpstart system, thus messing it up, so keep your AC charger safe, that is do not misplace it.
6. Jumpstart systems are not buy and forget systems, take care of it it will take care of you. I bought this jumpstart system and left it my car for a week in temps that were 0 F to 10 F, the cables froze and cracked, had to get a new one, wish the cables were more rubber than plastic. The cables couldn't withstand the low temps, that is why I am rating it a 4/5.
All in all, it is a decent system but will not start a dead battery ( I prefer looking for one that can start a dead battery next time) and it will not withstand high or low temps.Best setting 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
Charge is once a month, test it regularly, let it charge for 48 hours when you get it and charge it after use, do not leave it in your trunk!
