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.
Simply awesome. February 21, 2008

Let me begin by saying that this is a sturdy, well-built piece of machinery. It also clearly can get the job done, period. My V6 Toyota Land Cruiser had a _completely_ flat battery, with a totally crudded-over positive terminal. I hooked this puppy up, and my engine ROARED back to life within 10 seconds of the connection being made. I haven't ever heard my engine start like that before, even when jumped from other jumper packs. Now, to comment on some other aspects of this equipment: It comes with a charging cradle, but you don't need to use it, because the AC adapter that plugs in to the cradle can also be plugged directly in to the jumper pack itself. So you can just stash the AC adapter in the car with the jumper pack, for mobile use. Also, this _can_ be used to power small appliances, but you'll need a cigarette-lighter adapter, because this doesn't have a regular outlet, only a cigarette-lighter outlet. Anyway, this is a heck of a deal for the price. I did a lot of comparison shopping to get the best value, and I'm very, very pleased.

I use this as an alternate 12V power source to power a 12V
air compressor and it is a great product! It can power a
Spot Light(15 watts/12V) for 12 hours. So it doesn't have a problem at all when I blow up tires, floats etc.
Dependable Product! June 11, 2008

I am very impressed with this product as far as it's dependability and ease of use. I had a problem with a battery drain on my vehicle in which the battery would be dead every morning when I would go to start it. I used this product every day for a few weeks to jump off the car until we could find the source of the drain. It worked flawlessly every time I needed it. I had always been scared to jump start a battery, but with this product, it is so easy I didn't have any worries. I could even throw it in the trunk and take it with me when I thought I might need it.
I have had it about 6 months now and I love it! The peace of mind is well worth it!
Great little pack, above average quality and usability March 23, 2008

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.
