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

I haven't actually had an opportunity to use this product yet, but I received it in a timely manner with clear instructions. It is now sitting in my trunk, ready to jump-start my car if need be. I have, on two occasions, needed a jump-start and a neighbor had one of these devices. It was very helpful, especially when my car was still parked in the garage and another car couldn't get close to the engine.

Works great, have used several times on everything from lawn tractor to seldom used van . . . Will not start van if battery is completely dead , but as long as there is a little charge left will start right up with unit . . .

Not too keen on the charging station as the only way to charge the unit, but the charge has held up for three jump starts and is still full according to the green light.

This product works great and with the charging cradle is always fully charged and ready for action. The clamps could be of better quality, but other then that it is a great product.

I consider a jump start pack a required piece of equipment for every car. I keep one in every car I own, and make sure all of my loved ones do the same. Relying on the kindness of others when you have a dead battery is a losing proposition these days.

This is a better than average jump start pack, with a small size, good power, and a neat charging platform. Keeping track of the AC adapters for these things is a hassle, and this one has a simple charging deck that you can leave plugged into a wall outlet in the garage and dock in the battery when it needs to be charged.

I've found Schumacher to be a decent brand for items like this (jump start packs, battery chargers, etc) and this is one of the nicest units I've seen.

The price seems to vary quite a bit - I was very happy with the price and value, but have seen the price go up quite a bit since I bought a few last year for holiday gifts.
