I’ll start off by saying if you’re thinking about getting this, then don’t hesitate. Prior to purchasing my personal one, we used these in my work both for our fleet cars and also outdoor vending events. They handle jump starting and pumping air into tires well. I’ve literally used this thing to power a party block speaker from SoCal to Vegas w. Used it to inflate camping beds, power string lights and charge laptops. I consider this a necessity. That being said. It is a heavy unit as it uses a sealed lead acid battery around 20AH. It’s reliable. It is about the size and weight of a 2 gallon pack of milk (lol). I have transferred this unit from a jeep, to a suburban and now my super compact daily driver that has very limited space. But I’m my opinion it is worth it. It is also very user friendly. Placing the clamps on the battery will show you the voltage, turning the starter switch will show you the boost it gives the battery, wait till is over 12v and give it a go. Built in LED helps for nighttime use. Incorporated usb port is always handy. Oh yeah also this thing is built pretty robust. It’s taken a beating and keeps ticking. Overall really happy after years of use Read more
Great product! Read more
Works good not as nice as my old one but better than my dewalt w stupid buzzer making noise So to update I went to use the 12 bolt power source (like a cigarette lighter port. ). They are empty . There’s no way to get power from them . I’d never tried that function before and I’ve had it quite a while but I was amazed to find out there was no way to ground in the receptacles . Did I get a lower unit that didn’t have this feature? Or was it a MFG mistake? I really don’t know. Read more
I am taking the time to do this review. Because i didn't know so maybe others don't know. I bought this used but in mint condition. To me Mint Condition is actually that. We i received the charger it was charged to 100% I had it afew months snd not until we list power did i find out even though it says 100% charged it is not charged. One woukd assume they would check this out. The DC does not work at all. Because it is used there is no warranty. I would not suggest buying this product. At the time i bought it .It didn't say it had a high return. Like i said it said it was in MINT CONDITION which is a lie Read more
This Schumacher Jump Starter and Portable Power Station is highly effective for transitional vehicles, offering robust features like a 150-PSI air compressor, jump starter, and power inverter. It works great for emergencies and supports a range of devices and functions. However, the design feels large and outdated compared to more compact, glovebox-friendly options. Its size and weight make it less portable, and I wonder how quickly products like this will be phased out as technology shifts to accommodate electric vehicles. That said, if you're driving a traditional gas or diesel car, this unit is a reliable, all-in-one tool to have on hand. Read more
I've had this for 4 years and still jumps my v8 and I use it to run hotspot on the go. The only knock would be the head for the air pump. It is a twist on. If I were to pump the tires on a kids bike, by the time I twist the head off the bike the tire would loose quite a bit of pressure. Read more
The ease of recharging is good. The weight a bit high, but therein lies the power we want. Holds a full charge a long time. Got one to use with our fleet of assorted vehicles. The more vehicles one has, the harder it is to keep all of the batteries in peak condition. The jumper cables and clamps are of highest quality and self stow quite conveniently. The readouts are helpful. The air pump was used on one occasion. It did its job, but it was a slow process, requiring a little patience to refill a neighbor's SUV flat tire from empty to full pressure. Not the reason we purchased the Jump Starter. We liked our first Jump Starter enough to get a second unit to use as a power supply for our telescopes when in the field. Using the AC adapter capability, we can plug in the telescope's transformer power supply to provide the proper voltage to power the tracking drive and heaters (prevent fogging and condensation on electricals). The large LED readout on the unit tells us when optimal power will soon become compromised and we can safely end our stargazing session without stressing delicate electronics with low grade power. The red readout and indicators keep eyes well condition for working/playing in darkness. While the charger is turned off, hooking the jumper cables to the battery in question will give one a readout of its state. One can also use this function to verify the output of the alternator of vehicle in question, once the engine is started. Sometimes that process of elimination is helpful as a battery can initially take the blame for an alternator problem. These chargers can be rejuvenated by simply installing a new battery pack when the original expires. We have yet to replace one. Our original charger must be around 5 years old. I just topped off the first charge on our second unit. Read more
