Accessories

Works great, well made.
I think this is actually a Vector jump starter, but either way it works very well. I have a riding lawnmower that for some reason will never crank on it's own, but if I run a dropcord and hook up a battery charger to it, it starts. Which is a pain.

Now I just leave this jump starter in my storage shed with the mower and hook it up each time to start the mower. I've started the mower probably 6 times so far without needing to recharge the jump starter. I'll take it inside and plug it in to recharge it every month or so.

Also has a work light for night time, decently bright.

If you have weak hands you might have trouble squeezing the clamps, they're very solid and the springs are strong.

Note that the Off/On switch is difficult to turn On, this is probably a safety feature to make sure you *really* want to turn on the juice to the clamps. Just turn it hard and it will click On.

I've been very pleased with my last 3 or 4 Black and Decker products, good prices and good quality.

2 red and 1 green, is fully charged. It Never shows 3 greens.
The highlighted negative review was given by someone that obviously did not read the instruction book.

Mine fully charged in less than an hour, showing 2 red lights and one Green Fully charged light.

I am glad I bought this unit, as I would not risk the electronics in my car by using my car to jump start someone else's car.

Jump Starter
I can't rate this thing very high because mine will only charge a portion of the way to full. I probably should have sent it back but didn't.

I guess I kept it because I use it for an electric winch to pull my smoker into the back of my pickup and it will provide enough power to get the job done before crapping out.

Works fine but doesn't hold charge for long
If you get this as an alternative to jump start cables, then do keep it plugged in as it won't hold peak charge for long. And it does need to be at or close to peak charge to jump start a car. It will power up other 12V accessories for quite a while, so no problems there.

And yes, the variety of options on it (light, LEDs, etc) are nice and much more useful. Definitely better than the spare battery I used to have for such uses. The carry handle itself is a huge benefit.

Great Jump Starter
This is a great product, I would recommend it to anyone as a emergency, security item for your vehicle. It is excellent especially for my wife when she is on the road by herself. Even NEW cars have problems and this is a good problem solver!
