Reviews of DieHard 71988 1150 Peak Amps 22AH Jump Starter / Portable AC-DC &

Customer Ratings:

I bought this unit about 2 years ago and it has worked great. Some people have issues with using the jump start but mostly this is due to not following the instructions in the manual. To jump start the unit charges a capacitor. When you attach it to you battery you have about 30 sec to attempt a turn-over. Then you have to wait for the capacitor to charge before attempting another turn-over. I have used this unit to jump start the car and when my battery went completely dead I was able to plug it into the lighter so it could back feed power to the system to keep the car running while I drove to a repair shop. I had power go out while moving into our new home four years ago and used my father's unit to power two lamps and a radio for the painters. Which is what lead me to buy one. I have also used it camping. Recently I did break off the compressor hose nozzle, bummer so I will be purchasing another unit.

I have been very happy with this model as it's a good value for the money, particularly wen it's on sale. I have used it as a back-up power supply for when the electricity goes out, to power small tools on the go that need a 110V outlet, and to pump the bike and car tires. It's compact, easy to store on a shelf, and connects to grounded AC via a standard heavy duty air conditioner extension cord.

Keep in mind that you have to keep this unit charged if you don't the battery will lose the base charge and will no longer charge fully! If that happens, look for a UB12220 battery on ebay or battery etailers such as Budgetbatteries-dot-com for replacements. When you consider that a replacement battery will run you $60 to $80, getting the extended warranty is a good idea.

Bought this 2 years ago for a several day long camping trip.

It ran our radio for the entire trip with juice to spare.

It also charged serveral cell phones during the trip.

(used the cigarette lighter outlet with a USB adapter as well as a direct plug-in)

I have also jumped the battery on my Honda Odyssey van at least ten times with it.

(My daughters leave the reading lights on overnight)

I have inflated countless bike tires for my kids as well as several neighborhood children.

Great product all around.
