JoeM 7,621 #3 Posted January 10, 2019 I have a Schumacher 1200A Jump Starter with Compressor. Compressor is anemic, but can be used in a pinch. Starting wise, it works great. Kind of neat when you hook up the battery before turning it on, it shows the current voltage in the battery. That works too when you have the machine started and the unit off, you can see the charging rate voltage. I have also used the inverter feature to run my C-Pap in over night power outages and that worked great. Plus it will charge a phone. It is bulky. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,164 #4 Posted January 10, 2019 I had a Schumacher all in one booster with the light/compressor/usb. it worked fine for about a year then started flashing an error code. which could have been the battery pack or something else. I pulled the battery pack out and sold the unit on ebay for parts and almost got what I paid for it. I just use a regular plug in 110v charger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,918 #6 Posted January 28, 2019 Recently got one of these. so far so good. Haven't used the compressor but I'm sure it's only good for use in a pinch. https://jet.com/product/Stanley-1000-Amp-Peak-Jump-Starter-J509/cd3f596d961b4d8492f56e49d9eab26c?jcmp=pla:bng:nj_dur_gen_automotive_parts_accessories_a2:automotive_parts_accessories_automotive_tools_equipment_battery_chargers_jump_starters_a2:na:PLA_333307803_1219358577516715_pla-4579809528384840_c:na:na:na:2PLA15&pid=kenshoo_int&c=333307803&is_retargeting=true&clickid=315801a5-3ce7-4bb2-8b26-b332ee0a3891&kclid=315801a5-3ce7-4bb2-8b26-b332ee0a3891&msclkid=2b40fc67010319a8b935a0286d64049d 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 8,609 #8 Posted February 2, 2019 First Issue is, allway's a 500Amps Main Switch for Things not everyday used. another Issue, allway,s charge things if possible by an small Charger. Had in the past a Iveco 2,8 Turbodiesel. sometimes it want start correctly, but no issues are found, charging seems to be fine no known power drops. To be continouse Ready i buyed a Red-Flash AGM Powerbatt 24Ah (1200CCA )at a Fair. It worked for me for about 5Years without any Problem, but then it was stolen, because i was distracted at a meeting. it was packed in an old Photo Pocket to carry easy by shoulderbelt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
