The instructions suggest a recharge every month even if not used. I would prefer a separate wall wart charger but I suppose having the ability to always charge with only a regular extension cord is good too.
I ran my system that the meter ( a separate tool, this unit has no meter) says was drawing 3.5 amps for 2 hrs ok. Most of the less expensive jump starters only have 8 reserve amps, a figure frequently hard to discover, whereas I needed about fifteen. I purchased this as both an emergency jump starter and to run a Christmas float powered by a 500 watt inverter for 2 hours. I gave it a 24 hour charge before testing.
This came unexpectedly soon, about 4 days after order placed. (I just want to add that putting air in car tires is a long, noisy, task.) I am keeping this device, as I may need it, in the future - it is also good for bicycle tires and I can use it, for that purpose. For that reason, I gave the product two stars. The compressor DID fill my tires, which I really needed. I am not blaming the product, however, because I may really need a new battery or alternator. Anyway, it did not facilitate my vehicle starting, which was a huge disappointment. So which is it? It would be nice if Stanley had a decent instructional video out, for those of us who are unfamiliar, with this kind of product. For one thing, every video shows the people connecting the red clamp to the positive AND the black clamp to the negative, on the battery - even though the instruction booklet says NEVER to do that. In searching for instructional videos, including on the Stanley website, I could find very few, which were helpful. The print is so tiny, I could barely read it. (My vehicle has been off the road, for a while.) First of all, I got pretty aggravated with the instructions. I also have car tires that need air, along with one that had gotten pretty flat. I have a dead battery and was really hoping this Stanley Jumpit 1000 would help me out. The Stanley 500A jump starter with compressor also has a handle for convenient portability. A reverse-polarity alarm helps ensure safety and prevent improper connections. You can also add air to tires with the piston-driven compressor, backlit PSI gauge and a SureFit brass-tipped nozzle that connects securely to valve stems. A rotating LED light attached to the Stanley jump starter with compressor makes it easy to see when you're working in dark conditions. It features desulfation technology to rejuvenate batteries more quickly and even offers 12V and USB connections for recharging mobile devices and other electronics. Give your car battery the boost it needs to get going with the Stanley J5C09 1000 Peak Jump Starter with Air Compressor.
