Internal supercapicitors are charged by current the cars discharged battery, and internal electronics takes care of the remaining magic.
After a minute hooked up to the bad battery, this little unit’s capacitors were charged, and my car fired right up.
Safety first is a great motto to fallow, error in the procedure.
Price
This was the best $100 i have ever spent!
I like the price and how easy to use.
Best hundred dollars i have ever spent!
For the cost a case of some kind would have been nice.
Shipping
The vendor was great and handled the situation appropriately.
It arrived the day before i left this review.
Packaging/appearance
I took it out of the box and used the cigarette lighter adapter to charge it up.
Wish it came with a better storage box.
Competitiveness
I'd honestly say this is simpler to use than most other jump starters as long as you don't have an unusual vehicle.
