This is a very well made jump pak. I've owned a number of jump pak's over the years and this one is the best of them. The cables are longer than any of the others I've had also. An example of the quality. The cables themselves are printed "Made in USA", and have a high quality sheathing on them which makes them very flexible. The most noticeable thing right away was the fact that this one is much "slimmer" than others. In other words, instead of being the size of a normal battery, this pak is slim and tall. Makes it easier to carry and store.

I did a fair amount of research before deciding on this unit. After looking at most manufactures I pretty quickly eliminated the others for quality concerns. I figured for an emergency use unit it did not make a lot of sense to skip on quality. The "Jump-in-Carry" rated high on reviews regardless of the unit. The basic difference in their models is size and starting capacity roughly translating into battery size. While I did not need a large unit capable of starting large trucks bigger battery capacity does translate into more reserve starting power and more important to me could be somewhat discharged (if you forgot to charge) and still work for my application. Consequently, I tried to stay in the middle of the pack as far as "cranking" amps was concerned. Additionally, the larger (typically two battery units) got to be pretty heavy and not really portable. The closest competitor to this unit is the 660 with 660 amps of cranking power at about half the price! The reason I bought this unit is as follows. 1. 770 cranking amps vs 660 or close to 20% more. 2. 68" cables vs 46" cables. These were the longest cables I could find on a portable unit. Most were 46" or shorter. Even at 46" in most applications I suspect you would be trying to find a place under the hood to balance the unit. At 68" the unit will sit on the ground or at least give you more options as to placement. 3. Size wise by volume it is over 30% smaller than the 660 and weighs about 1/4 pound less even with the longer cables. Additionally it is only 4" thick which opens up many areas for storage that might not be possible with the 660. While this is highly subjective I also figured the black case would show less wear and tear over time. If none of the above is important to you the 660 should work well. If it is I would opt for this unit and not look back. I also ordered a 1 foot cord that is tied to the unit and will be a dedicated charging cord so I don't have to scurry one up at recharge time.

Update: Received this unit today and it looks bullit proof! Even though I bought it because of the smaller size I was still surprised at how small it was. Large screen portable PC's would have about the same foot print. Unit is slim at only 4 inches but will still stand upright on a flat surface. Unit will fit under and behind the back seats on an Avalance with some room to spare. Not mentioned in the information I saw is it does come with a 12V plug in and a male/male cord that can be used to recharge from the car plug if needed. Analog gauge on front is large, easy to read and "old school" no nonsense. Activates with the press of the red button and shows charge state. As arrived it showed in the green and ready to go so could have been used immediately. The one foot cord I bought while a touch tight will allow the unit to stand up against a wall and be plugged into a standard height wall outlet then plugged into its self and wrapped around the handle for storage. Unlike some of the "toy" jump boxes I saw at the local discount store this is a professionsl grade unit that should last most users a life time espcially since the battery can be replaced. NOTE: I recharged the unit per instructions for about 30 hours (24 hours would have done it). For this type of battery a full charge is slightly under 13 volts. Mine charged up to about 13.25. The volt gauge on the unit goes up to 16 volts and the middle of the "green" area is at about 13 volts. So do not expect the gauge to show all the way up in the green when fully charged. At proper charge the needle should show about the mid point of the guage which is about in the middle of the green.

Battery completely dead, no problem. Hooked this up and car started up immediately. This unit has well made extra long cords. Its also the only model by Clore from what I could see that is actually manufactured in the USA. Yes its expensive, but when your in a jam you are going to be so glad you paid the extra $, like I was. You never know when your going find yourself in this situation especially with an older car. Put this in your trunk and feel at ease. I think the extra confidence you'll have is worth the money.
