This is a fine unit and for the price, there's little to complain about BUT there's no where to store the cable that you use to charge it from the wall so I see it getting lost easily. I have two other jump start units and they both have compensated for that storage. Big deal? Maybe if you've seen my garage... Lol

1. The USB is useless. Doesnt charge anything! 2. It says to charge the battery every 3 months, well guess what I did, and after a month when I really needed it to help out a friend, it didnt have any charge in it. 3. The cheap plastic clamp on the negative broke the first use. I got this deal last time it was $30. But my advice is dont get your hopes up. This is a cheap quality jumper. The only good working function is the light. My two cents on this thing... |

FWIW, the model name is very misleading. I have the exact same model from last year (same model number PCK0AZ), and it's called a Peak Jump Starter 450. Meaning it's 450 amps with a peak of 900. Just so you're not expecting something bigger than it really is.
Not say it's not worth it, as it works well for most smaller engines, although for a big V8 with a really dead battery in the middle of winter below zero F, this may not cut it. Definitely a thumbs up at $30, but it's really not worth the $80 retail. |
