Reviews    Schumacher Jump Start, Sep 21, 2011 By Anack   Ownership: Use regularly   Knowledge Level: AC/DC is more than a band Pros: Can jump start your car in an emergency as long as you are home where it is on the charger. Cons: Battery must be at home on the charger. How is this an emergency on the road? I have two units like this. They are both dead and useless. If you put them in your trunk so that you have it with you when there is an emergency and don't remember to charge it every 4 months, then it is dead when you need it. Also when you let it drain down it ruins the battery and will not take another charge. Other Thoughts: It’s only an 18 amp lead acid battery inside. If it delivers the necessary current to start a car, lets say 320 amps, how long will the battery be able to deliver that much starting time exactly in this role? Did you find this review helpful? Yes|No
