Poor Product

Date:January 21, 2012

"I own a truck I boosted it twice when the weather was warm +3 C. It started no problem. I boosted it twice at about that temp. Forget boosting your truck at -10C You would be completely lucky if you manage to get your truck running seriously. I bought it because of the raving reviews people where giving big mistake. I boosted a car with it no go at -20C. What good is a battery pack if it works only in plus type weather. I chalk it upto junk at best. If you do get a battery booster pack get something in the 800 to 900 cold cranking amps you'll have way better chance of getting your car or truck started. I bought the Nautlous and it works perfect. Leave the motormaster boosters at home."

So Far So Good

Date:January 20, 2012

"I bought one on the boxing week sale and sure enough was forced to use it the week of 12/1/12. Boosted my hooptie with ease and got me back in the game.

Big problem was it would no longer charge up fully after it's big chance at greatness, forcing me to buy and try the accessory cable available in CA which also did nothing. I returned it for exchange and surprisingly a new revision of the product is available.

Will be interested to see if this one offers more longevity or is just a marginal face lift. I see why there has been a fire sale on all battery boosters at CA since they appear to be bringing in new stock and those previously sold at half may very well only be worth that much anyway."

It Works

Date:January 15, 2012

"After running my battery down trying to start my Hyundai accent on Saturday at -25c and further on Sunday at -15c, I proceeded on foot to the closest CT and picked one of these things up. it worked.
At about the same price as a new battery, it's far less than a new alternator(and new battery).
If you're driving an older vehicle that you don't want to sink a lot of cash into this is a pretty justifiable little gadget.
One thing that I noticed is that the car didn't turn over with same vigor as a car to car boost. Never the less, it held in long enough to get it started and that's all that counts."

Great overall size

Date:January 14, 2010

"This handy device not only has been handy to have when boosts are needed in -40 C or worse weather, but it has also been extremely handy in numerous uses from charging small items like cell phones or camera batteries while camping. Last summer it even provided the power to play family movies on our portable dvd player, in our tent, during a rainstorm! It was a sight to see."

reliable friend

"This is the second one I have purchase, first one was only 300 amps and lasted over 3 years. This one has more amps so could only look foward , to same relibilty,as the other. I used this for camping and for emergency . Took care of it by charging it after each use. and charged it every 2 months on a regular basis,therefore prolonging the life of this battery. Still useing old 300 amp one for my electric scooter."

better than a car to car jump start

Date:December 25, 2008

"I had a dead battery and was looking for my neighbor to jump start my car, and he came by with this and jump started my car. I was totally impressed and said I should pick one up. I left it for a long time, untill I witnessed a car on the ferry with a dead battery and the ferry personell came by with the same booster pack and jumped his car. I was sold at this point and decided to pick one up when it got on sale.

Haven't used mine yet, but it is fully charged and sits in the trunk of my car. I was going to get a battery charger that has the boost function, but you have to be next to a 120v outlet to have that one operational. This one is truly portable, so if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere, this one will get you started."

Reliable

Date:September 24, 2008

"The booster may seem small but it provides plenty of power. Used this many time on many different vehicles. Beats waiting around for a tow truck for a simple boost. Just have to make sure you keep it charged at all times... it will loose power (like any battery) if it just sits there for weeks and months... need to keep it charged because you never know when you'll need it!"

can I run a Trolling moter with this booster pac and how long will it be good for

mrfish

1 week, 1 day ago

Answer:

The internal battery of this booster pack is designed primarily for starting – providing short bursts of a lot of energy – it is not a deep cycle battery. It can be used to provide 12V power however the more deeply it is discharged and the more often it is cycled, the shorter the battery life will be. We would recommend you consider the Nautilus Power Pack (model 11-1592). It has a true deep cycle battery built to withstand the rigours of repeated charges and discharges. It has a larger battery rated at 33 amp hours which will give you much more runtime then this particular model. It also has convenient “power terminals” on the back of the unit to allow you to quickly connect and disconnect the electrical connections to your trolling motor. All around, it is a much better choice for your intended use.

This or the 300A/150w PowerBox for winter jump starts

Question:

I am looking to have a backup for my weak car battery on those -30c evenings after work
Would this work better than the
Eliminator 300A/150W Power Box
Product #11-2012-4
It would be handy to have the inverter flexibility but this is much cheaper

Answer:

It does not work at -10 never mind -30 get nautlous 800 or 900 cold cranking amps way better for -30

Answer:

It will depend on several factors. One thing is for sure – when it comes to booster packs, bigger is definitely better. The more powerful the unit you buy, the better chance it will have of starting your engine. This provides more than enough power to boost a battery in any standard passenger vehicle.

One thing to keep in mind is that leaving this in the car would drastically reduced its power from cold temperatures, just like you car battery is less powerful at cold temperatures

Hope this helps.

Can this booster boost the battery of Suburban SUV ? if yes, then how many times per day ?

None3000

2 months, 4 weeks ago

Answer:

If its warm nothing over -10 you can boost it 3-4 times per day. Anything over -10 forget it won't work well.

FamilyGuy32

Answer:

Yes and no. There are a lot of factors that have to be considered. First, you have to remember that the battery in a booster pack is a fraction of the size of a normal car/truck battery. Now, if your battery is in good health but just drained (like you left the lights on), then a 500A booster pack should be more than enough to supplement the vehicle battery and start the engine. But if your battery was dead-dead (at the end of its useful life with absolutely no juice left in it), then you’re relying completely on the small battery of a booster pack to start your engine. In most weather conditions, it still would do the trick as an engine really doesn’t require that much battery power to start in mild or warm temperatures. But if it’s 15 below 0, it might have a tougher time because your engine is harder to turn over (thicker oil, etc.).

Other factors include certainly include the state of charge of the booster pack itself (whether it’s half charged or fully charged), the health of the booster pack battery (have you kept it fully charged or neglected it and allowed the battery to sulphate – lose capacity) and where it’s been stored (if the booster pack comes out of the house, it’s battery will be much stronger than if it was sitting in your truck or garage at -15C).

So there’s no way to definitely say yes or no to your question. It will depend on several factors. One thing is for sure – when it comes to booster packs, bigger is definitely better. The more powerful the unit you buy, the better chance it will have of starting your engine. A 500A model is what I’d consider about middle of the pack. And you need to know how much power it can deliver in real world situations so look for crank amps.

My unit came charged - is this normal

Question:

It would appear that the unit I purchase came charged,,,,all LED indicators light up when I press the button. Is this normal on delievery or did I get a used or returned unit? If not, should I still charge the unit for the first time and how long?

Answer:

It is normal, please also charger it for 24 hours .

Anonymous

Answer:

They get charged at the factory before shipping. However the manual will tell you to give it a full charge before first use regardless of what the LEDs say. Remember, this thing has probably been sitting for a while since leaving the factory. This first, full charge will help "revive" the sleepy battery.

Check your manual - it probably says something like 20-30 hours for a full first recharge.

Can this unit be used as a Camping power source?

Question:

Is this something to take camping to charge cell phones, i pods, lanterns etc.? Could you use a small DC to AC power inverter to achieve this function?

Bompa

4 months, 2 weeks ago

Answer:

The internal battery is designed primarily for starting (short bursts of enegry). You can use it for portable power (either 12V or with an inverter for 120V) but the more often you do so, the shorter the battery will last.

If you are using it for portable power, keep in mind, the deeper you discharge the battery, the harder it is on the battery, so try not to run it down too far AND fully recharge it as soon possible.

diycarguy

Answer:

There is 12V DC socket on this unit, you can use it to charge your products as long as there is right connection to DC socket. You can use small inverter , the output power should be less then 10A (100W), and the time is limited to 30 minutes before the battery discharged.
