Stanley J7CS 700 Peak Amp Automotive Jump Starter Portable Power Triple 15W USB Ports 120 PSI Air Compressor

I ordered the Stanley J5C09D 1200 Peak Amp Automotive Jump Starter recently and already put it to good use. I shop at a 24hr supermarket. It was 4:00AM, at 23 degrees, and it was cold, dark, and scary. I left the lights on the car for far too long without the car running to give it the electrical charge needed while I was putting early morning groceries away in my home. When I tried to start the car, it couldn't because of the battery was drained. After receiving the unit from Amazon and immediately completed the 100% charging of the jumper pack , I secured it into my trunk. But once it couldn't turnover, I started to make use of it. Simple as 1-2-3. The car started right away with its powerful jump start capabilities and I was on my way. Worth every Dollar of it and highly recommend owning one for your vehicle or purchase multiple ones to have in your autos. Wish I could give this Stanley jumper pack a million stars or thumbs up. It really help me when I truly needed it. Read more

I purchased this about a week ago. I looked at many of the reviews for other units and all of them have positives and negatives. Many of those negatives stem from DOA units which were not returnable. The small Clore unit was my first choice, i even added to the basket but switched last minute. The Clore had almost glowing reviews and seems to be great at what it offers, a small low cranking amp jumper. I had owned a Schumacher before and the thing was a beast. The brand has lower reviews on Amazon but i was 100% happy with it. In fact, in my old Volkswagen Beetle, the battery died and i ran on that little Schumacher for about a year by recharging it every night. I killed it but it served the cause like a real soldier. I would have bought another but i wanted more cranking amps than it offered for cold weather, versatility, and options. I was hoping to find something which offered a little more, such as use as a power source, but didn't want a box taking up my whole trunk (small Volkswagen hatch) at a crazy price. I decided i would spend up to $100 and get as many features as i could for the price in a brand name box. This Stanley fit the bill. I looked at the Energizer 84020 unit but by measurements on here, it sounded huge. The inverter option is nice, but giving up my precious trunk space was not an option. Stanley use to be a great brand, simple, but effective and rugged so i went for it. First impression is that it looks better than i hoped. I was expecting an ugly pseudo tough looking thing that felt generic with its over the top looks. It presents better than that. Function over form might be more important in a thing like a jump box, but if you use it at the camp sight or beach as a power source looks become a little more of a priority. Included was a needle for inflating the football or soccer ball, and a car plug which is for powering it up as you drive I guess, or trying to jump via the cigarette lighter which is a hit or miss. I wanted to test it out, so i let it charge overnight. I plugged in my android smartphone and it started charging the phone instantly. Then i grabbed my deflated football from the garage and filled it. I wanted to see how it worked on an iPhone, so i borrowed one and plugged it in. It does charge IPhone. In fact, after about 5 minutes on the Stanley you could see the bar go up by one. The next day, i jumped my dead car and it started up. Then i inflated my tires. They lost a little air the last few months while the car was sitting. Big help since you cant drive to the gas station on the flat tires, so what do you do? The inflator is loud, but did the job and didn't overheat adding 5-10 psi to all four tires. Each one took a few minutes (2-5). I think if you had a complete flat, you might be there awhile but i am sure if you pulled out the stop watch this thing would still beat AAA. The pressure gauge on the Stanley doesn't read correctly. It just always reads as low or high. Don't rely on this feature, maybe mine was a dud but i wont try to return it over that. I use a hand held pressure gauge anyway since i have never seen a built in one work anyway . So far I was happy with my purchase but had one last test to put it through. Like i mentioned, my car had been sitting. The battery was very low. I needed to buy a trickle charger but didn't want to buy yet another one time use tool. So the Stanley's final test was to be a trickle charger of sorts. I plugged the unit into the house current and ran an extension cord out to the car, clamped Stanley onto the battery and put it into jump mode. Left it to sit overnight, and by morning my car battery was full, sans trickle charger. I dont know if this is supposed to work this way but it did. It might lower the life of the unit, but for occasional use ill make the sacrifice. The work light is dim, but bright enough for a roadside emergency. Maybe equivalent to a couple candles or key chain light. Keep a real flashlight in the glove box anyway (the streamlight microstream is great one which i reviewed). A few people mentioned it doesn't have a shutoff where you can leave it plugged in indefinitely. I do know that when mine was full after charging the power button blinked to warn me. I dont want to leave this plugged in anyway. It should be in the trunk, i mean what are the chances you get a dead battery just at home? A shop might want a unit which can stay plugged in but the commuter should be less concerned about that imho. So overall, after a week of use this is a great item. The size is right (maybe about the size of a case of soda), looks tough, and can inflate tires, footballs, lovedolls etc...while jumping your car several times before recharge. It can be a backup phone charger or usb power source for the outdoorsman, and function as a makeshift trickle charger for the collector car in the garage. Read more

I purchased this originally to use with my landscape business JumpStart zero turn and walk behind mowers. Since then I found that I use it for just about everything under the sun. It has plenty enough juice to jumpstart a jeep that I've been working on as a project five or six times before it needs to be charged. With my zero turn and walk behind mowers I can jump start them a dozen times easy. Surprisingly enough the built-in air compressor works pretty well. For small tires like zero turn mowers, wheelbarrows, bicycles, dirt bikes and so on the compressor works great. I've even used it to top off the air pressure in my Mazda RX-8 that requires 50 psi cold anything below 40 and the light comes on on the inside saying low air pressure. Now what I try to inflate a 33" mud terrain tire, no but for everything else including slip and slides it works great. The built-in USB ports are nice to have but I've never really used them. Even though it would be nice if the battery charge lights had two or three more in total would be nice to give you a better overall idea of how much charge is available. I will say one thing that I despise about this product the stupid flashlight! For one it's not that bright and number two is its location. The way they have it situated the button that turns it on is on the underside right where you wrap the cord so if you're not careful you can accidentally turn the light on and if this happens during the daytime you'll have no idea that a flashlight has been activated until you go to use it the next time and the battery is completely dead because said flashlight remained on until it killed the battery. I purchased this in April of 2020 and it's now 5-28-22 so just over two years of use and I would say that I've used it easily 60 times and it's never let me down. As I mentioned before I jump-started things as small as lawn mowers but I've also used it to jumpstart Jeeps, Mazda RX8, Ford F-150. If you've been on the fence about buying a jump box and being concerned whether or not it's worthwhile investment believe me when I say the Stanley box is freaking awesome. If you go to my Amazon profile and read some of my other reviews you'll know that this review is sincere because if I find anything wrong with a product I have no problems with pointing it out. Also know that my last jump box I purchase from Harbor Freight and while it was supposed to be about the same amps is this Stanley the CCA was way lower and I would be lucky if I can jump-start two or three zero turn mowers and never even tried using it to jumpstart a vehicle because I knew it wouldn't have the juice I just figured I'd save the time and get out the jumper cables. Someone stealing the Harbor Freight version out of back of my truck was probably the best thing to happen to me when it comes to portable air compressors and having a decent air pump it's just a nice bonus. My only other advice would be to snap the flashlight off and cut and cap the wires otherwise you will find yourself with a dead jump box because the stupid flashlight was accidentally turned on during the day when you cut a notice.
