works well
Size: 1000 Amps
This is my fourth one of these type devices. Second one with a compressor. The air compressor is REALLY, REALLY good to have around. Upon initial checking it over- all functions, am pleased with it. Will update this if I have any issues. It has a USB outlet. Feels heavy enough to have a decent size battery in it. Instructions claim it has a 19Ah battery (right good battery size if true). Also claims it cannot be overcharged via AC charging. That means it does have a float charging regulator. Personally, did not want a built in inverter. Have one of these in each vehicle and a seperate 300 watt inverter at home. Will do like another guy said and tie the 12 volt charging cord to the handle. Would not overspend on one of these with many bells and whistles. This looks like a good one in my opinion. Beware of the $100. Energizer model with an inverter if as other reviewers say it cannot be charged via 12 volts DC- only by 110 AC. Not for me. Like the fact that any outdoor 110 volt extension cord will charge this thing. So, only have to keep up with the 12 volt DC charging cord. Keeping up with AC chargers is a real pain for me. August 2015: Started a V8 4.6 liter vehicle with a completely discharged battery several times with one of these. Impressive. Both units are still working well on mostly standby service. Both are holding a charge well. The compressors appear to hold up well with some use on 14" to 16" tires. Both compressors still working with some occasional use. It's not a heavy duty compressor though. August 30, 2012: Am thinking about getting a second one of these and using the two year old Vector model, with a compressor, in my other vehicle to augment one of my alarm system backup batteries and for other uses as needed... In hurricane territory, it pays to have battery power available during the storms. The charge indicator and light switch on the Vector model are acting up- can't be sure it is well charged. Dec. 2012: It's time to retire both of my older Vector models. Ordered another one of these in order to have one in each of my vehicles. Like this unit better than the Vector models. Seems there is right much demand for them around Christmas. Have also bought a 2500 watt DC to AC power inverter to augment my generators here in hurricane alley on the NC coast where I live. Like the fact that about any extension cord will charge these things. No AC charger to keep up with. Just the male to male DC charging cord which I have tied to the handle. Feb 2014: Like my older ones, these hold a charge a long, long time just sitting unused. There's a charge indicator to check the battery status. The air pump is not that fast but any air pump is a good air pump when you don't have anything else... March 2014: Both units are holding up well over time. One has been used fairly frequently for jumping vehicles and inflation of tires. The other has mostly just been on standby with some light use- holding a charge well. I'm happy with them so far. July 2014: Brought one inside to power my cell phone with in the event of commercial power failure during the night with hurricane Arthur. Arthur didn't knock out my power yet did plenty of damage nearby. Tried out the USB port. The power meter app on my Samsung S4 showed a 540 to 610 mA charging rate. The light and USB port would likely have gotten me through an outage for Arthur was a relatively weak typhoon. ... show more

Good little Box
Size: 1000 Amps
I purchased this about a week ago. I looked at many of the reviews for other units and all of them have positives and negatives. Many of those negatives stem from DOA units which were not returnable. The small Clore unit was my first choice, i even added to the basket but switched last minute. The Clore had almost glowing reviews and seems to be great at what it offers, a small low cranking amp jumper. I had owned a Schumacher before and the thing was a beast. The brand has lower reviews on Amazon but i was 100% happy with it. In fact, in my old Volkswagen Beetle, the battery died and i ran on that little Schumacher for about a year by recharging it every night. I killed it but it served the cause like a real soldier. I would have bought another but i wanted more cranking amps than it offered for cold weather, versatility, and options. I was hoping to find something which offered a little more, such as use as a power source, but didn't want a box taking up my whole trunk (small Volkswagen hatch) at a crazy price. I decided i would spend up to $100 and get as many features as i could for the price in a brand name box. This Stanley fit the bill. I looked at the Energizer 84020 unit but by measurements on here, it sounded huge. The inverter option is nice, but giving up my precious trunk space was not an option. Stanley use to be a great brand, simple, but effective and rugged so i went for it. First impression is that it looks better than i hoped. I was expecting an ugly pseudo tough looking thing that felt generic with its over the top looks. It presents better than that. Function over form might be more important in a thing like a jump box, but if you use it at the camp sight or beach as a power source looks become a little more of a priority. Included was a needle for inflating the football or soccer ball, and a car plug which is for powering it up as you drive I guess, or trying to jump via the cigarette lighter which is a hit or miss. I wanted to test it out, so i let it charge overnight. I plugged in my android smartphone and it started charging the phone instantly. Then i grabbed my deflated football from the garage and filled it. I wanted to see how it worked on an iPhone, so i borrowed one and plugged it in. It does charge IPhone. In fact, after about 5 minutes on the Stanley you could see the bar go up by one. The next day, i jumped my dead car and it started up. Then i inflated my tires. They lost a little air the last few months while the car was sitting. Big help since you cant drive to the gas station on the flat tires, so what do you do? The inflator is loud, but did the job and didn't overheat adding 5-10 psi to all four tires. Each one took a few minutes (2-5). I think if you had a complete flat, you might be there awhile but i am sure if you pulled out the stop watch this thing would still beat AAA. The pressure gauge on the Stanley doesn't read correctly. It just always reads as low or high. Don't rely on this feature, maybe mine was a dud but i wont try to return it over that. I use a hand held pressure gauge anyway since i have never seen a built in one work anyway . So far I was happy with my purchase but had one last test to put it through. Like i mentioned, my car had been sitting. The battery was very low. I needed to buy a trickle charger but didn't want to buy yet another one time use tool. So the Stanley's final test was to be a trickle charger of sorts. I plugged the unit into the house current and ran an extension cord out to the car, clamped Stanley onto the battery and put it into jump mode. Left it to sit overnight, and by morning my car battery was full, sans trickle charger. I dont know if this is supposed to work this way but it did. It might lower the life of the unit, but for occasional use ill make the sacrifice. The work light is dim, but bright enough for a roadside emergency. Maybe equivalent to a couple candles or key chain light. Keep a real flashlight in the glove box anyway (the streamlight microstream is great one which i reviewed). A few people mentioned it doesn't have a shutoff where you can leave it plugged in indefinitely. I do know that when mine was full after charging the power button blinked to warn me. I dont want to leave this plugged in anyway. It should be in the trunk, i mean what are the chances you get a dead battery just at home? A shop might want a unit which can stay plugged in but the commuter should be less concerned about that imho. So overall, after a week of use this is a great item. The size is right (maybe about the size of a case of soda), looks tough, and can inflate tires, footballs, lovedolls etc...while jumping your car several times before recharge. It can be a backup phone charger or usb power source for the outdoorsman, and function as a makeshift trickle charger for the collector car in the garage. ... show more

Got my car back on the road
Size: 1000 Amps
Update: My trusty J5C09 jump starter has lasted 11 years. In that time, it has started every vehicle that ever needed a jump start: my car many times, as well as the cars and trucks of friends and strangers. After 11 years, the battery in the pack is now showing signs of age, having a voltage of around 12.4 VDC after charging instead of 12.6 VDC or higher. Still useful, but I want highest reliability for my jump starter. The battery in the pack may be replaced (search for J5C09 Replacement Battery), but I simply purchased another J5C09. I am amazed that this pack lasted 11 years and jump-started so many vehicles! Original Review: This is a review of the Stanley J5C09 500-Amp Jump Starter with Built-In Air Compressor. I highly recommend this product: it jump started my car with ease. It also jump started the large truck of a stranded stranger I encountered in a parking lot. I purchased this product from Amazon many years ago. I store it in the trunk of a vehicle that is used very infrequently (and is parked too far away from an electrical outlet to use a Battery Tender charger). This jump starter has started that car on many different occasions when the battery was completely dead (i.e., there was not enough power to operate the clock or electronics). Having this available to easily, quickly, and reliably jump start my car just one time would make this product worth its entire cost. This jump starter also makes a great back-up power source for power outages or camping. It has a standard 12 VDC cigarette lighter plug. Since I have car (12 VDC) power supplies for many of my favorite devices, I have used this jump starter to power a laptop computer and to recharge a cell phone, iPod, etc. I have also plugged a Stanley PC1A09 100 Watt Power Inverter with USB Power Outlet into this jump starter to power an LED lamp during a power outage. I have also plugged the Goal Zero 14101 Luna USB LED Stick Light into this jump starter to provide portable low-level lighting. This jump starter does not come with a detached charger. The charging system is internal to the unit; but you need an extension cord to connect the jump starter to 120 VAC. You can't use one of those extension cords with plugs on the sides; you will need one that can plug straight in. These are commonly called "appliance extension cords" or "air conditioner extension cords." Something like PETRA 15-0303 Appliance Extension Cord, 3-Foot should work (although I have never personally tried this specific cord). Like most battery packs like this, it takes a long time to charge if the battery is low. If you keep this unit stored in your car, truck, or boat, you will need to top off its charge every month or two. I simply charge mine about every six to eight weeks. I appreciate that this unit has an On-Off switch to easily remove power from the jumper cables. I would recommend redesigning the On-Off switch for the air compressor. As it is, it is too easy to inadvertently switch the air compressor on. For example, although the compressor is secured in my trunk, another object slid across the trunk once and managed to flip the switch for the air compressor (what a noise!). Since then, I taped over the switch with some Gorilla tape. ... show more

Stanley 1000 peak amp jump pack with compressor and 1 problem - 4 stars
Size: 1000 Amps
Do anything I've done at your own risk. First the negative: This product would have gotten 5 stars except for one glaring problem (for me). The compressor is handy for filling up small tires like ATV and bicycle tires quickly, BUT the switch is a pain in the butt. I have hauled this pack several times loose and in the cover I bought for it. If the pack moves going down the road or in the field, the switch can be bumped on something in the vehicle, and the compressor turns on. It can be unsettling for the vehicle driver (me), and it also runs down the battery until the switch it turned off. The remedy to this takes up more room but almost completely assures the switch will not be bumped. Carry the pack in a 5-gallon bucket with some towels or a wood block or something in the bottom of the bucket to raise the pack high enough in the bucket so the pack doesn't "stretch" the bucket and split out the sides. Last week, I bought the 600/300 Stanley jump pack without the compressor, and the dimensions are slightly smaller, and the pack fits nicely inside the 5-gallon bucket I am using. The positive: Extremely handy for jumpstarting my zero-turn mower and ATVs. Riding mower batteries have been costing me about $50 a pop, and they don't seem to last for me. So, the last time around to buy a new mower battery, I just decided to jumpstart my zero -turn mower, and it worked great. I have been using the jump pack this way for the last 2 years of mowing about once a week. As for my ATV, I put a toolbox on the back rack (yes, it takes up space on the back rack) permanently mounted, and I cut the cables on the ATV side and on the jump pack side and put the red quick couplers (available on Amazon) on the jumper cable ends and also on the jump pack and on the ATV. I put the jump pack inside the toolbox and strap it down. I can't close the lid on the toolbox, but I've never had the pack fall out because the pack sits down inside the toolbox quite a bit. I also found out that winches pull a lot of juice. My 98 Grizzly only puts out 14A max from the stator. I burned out 3 stator pick up coils and 2 ATV batteries before I figured this out. The 1000/500 pack has worked flawlessly so far. The battery pack takes the stress off the stator while using the winch, and the stator also recharges the battery pack (duh) while the ATV is running. Since this pack also has a compressor on it, it is super-handy for airing up an ATV tire when it gets a bit low. My pack also has a 12v outlet and a USB outlet, and I have used both. I have a 175 watt power inverter that I've used to power the lights at the cabin, but it only lasts about 30 minutes tops, so use sparingly. I have used the USB for powering a small USB fan (4 inch) to circulate a small amount of air in the cabin, and it works pretty good for that. I have not plugged any sensitive electronics like my iphone into the USB, and I will not do it except if I'm desperate. The pack charges up from a standard wall outlet and a drop cord in an hour or two usually. Charge it after every use if at all possible. The charge indicator lights are nice. Overall, this is a very good product for my purposes. ... show more

Stanley quality has gone down over the years.
Size: 1000 Amps
Years ago I had a car with issues and my Stanley Fat Max saved me numerous times. I can't say that today's version meets me expectations. No power button, no improvements over the years, worthless flash light, zero charge, poor sticker placement and zero customer service. For as expensive as these things are, I expect better. I can't even try this one for jump starting because there's no power button. I sent an email to Stanley Support on Sunday. It's been 2 business days with zero response. (Meanwhile the packaging is just sitting out in case I need to send it back.) Amazon can't fix it without me sending it back for a complete replacement. Amazon's solution is for me to call...which I kept forgetting to do during business hours. Not convenient since I have zero time to wait on hold. I tried the number tonight and it's for a completely different company! The unit came with zero charge. It took almost 36hrs for it to fully charge. The flash light on my old one was great for seeing the tire, but I always wished I could move it around more. Not only have they not upgraded that in any way, it's so dim I doubt you could see anything with it. A couple of years ago I got a $20 pump that you could program. You'd think with all the tech advances that it something that Stanely would have. Nope. Same exact system from many years ago. Something small, but speaks to the care/quality: the sticker on the top portion wasn't placed properly. It's off and had lots of pockets of air. I tried to gently push the air out...it looks crummy and cheap. Not something that cost as much as this did. Side note: Packaging was perfect. This wasn't a shipping issue. This unit left the manufacturer this way. ... show more

One of my best purchases in a long time!
Size: 1000 Amps
I purchased this originally to use with my landscape business JumpStart zero turn and walk behind mowers. Since then I found that I use it for just about everything under the sun. It has plenty enough juice to jumpstart a jeep that I've been working on as a project five or six times before it needs to be charged. With my zero turn and walk behind mowers I can jump start them a dozen times easy. Surprisingly enough the built-in air compressor works pretty well. For small tires like zero turn mowers, wheelbarrows, bicycles, dirt bikes and so on the compressor works great. I've even used it to top off the air pressure in my Mazda RX-8 that requires 50 psi cold anything below 40 and the light comes on on the inside saying low air pressure. Now what I try to inflate a 33" mud terrain tire, no but for everything else including slip and slides it works great. The built-in USB ports are nice to have but I've never really used them. Even though it would be nice if the battery charge lights had two or three more in total would be nice to give you a better overall idea of how much charge is available. I will say one thing that I despise about this product the stupid flashlight! For one it's not that bright and number two is its location. The way they have it situated the button that turns it on is on the underside right where you wrap the cord so if you're not careful you can accidentally turn the light on and if this happens during the daytime you'll have no idea that a flashlight has been activated until you go to use it the next time and the battery is completely dead because said flashlight remained on until it killed the battery. I purchased this in April of 2020 and it's now 5-28-22 so just over two years of use and I would say that I've used it easily 60 times and it's never let me down. As I mentioned before I jump-started things as small as lawn mowers but I've also used it to jumpstart Jeeps, Mazda RX8, Ford F-150. If you've been on the fence about buying a jump box and being concerned whether or not it's worthwhile investment believe me when I say the Stanley box is freaking awesome. If you go to my Amazon profile and read some of my other reviews you'll know that this review is sincere because if I find anything wrong with a product I have no problems with pointing it out. Also know that my last jump box I purchase from Harbor Freight and while it was supposed to be about the same amps is this Stanley the CCA was way lower and I would be lucky if I can jump-start two or three zero turn mowers and never even tried using it to jumpstart a vehicle because I knew it wouldn't have the juice I just figured I'd save the time and get out the jumper cables. Someone stealing the Harbor Freight version out of back of my truck was probably the best thing to happen to me when it comes to portable air compressors and having a decent air pump it's just a nice bonus. My only other advice would be to snap the flashlight off and cut and cap the wires otherwise you will find yourself with a dead jump box because the stupid flashlight was accidentally turned on during the day when you cut a notice. ... show more

You just can't do better (seems up to any task)
Size: 1000 Amps
I had a big yellow Prestone that my son said wouldn't last more than a couple of years--just like all the others. it kept turning over my V8 engines in freezing Wisconsin winters for 15 years solid. When it started to fail, I tried some of the well-rated, smaller and lighter, slightly less expensive units being shown on Amazon. My son finally was proven right. None lasted me more than 2 years, and frequently they simply were not up to the challenge of my exposed cars (the garage fell apart 12 years ago) with old V8 engines, sometimes sitting idle for weeks at a time when my wife's car occupied the "street end" of our one-lane driveway. Not seeing the Prestone of 20-25 years ago, I thought this Stanley would be the closest to that work-horse. Dimensions, weight, power, and even price were approximately the same. So far, I must say that this Stanley charger has exceeded all my expectations. If it stays strong fro the next 10 years, I'd say buy it now and don't look back. The light-weights and gadgety ones aren't worth the bother. This thing has easily started my 2002 Lincoln LS V8 twice in sub-zero temperatures, once after the car had been sitting outside for two weeks. Moreover, I used it to start my wife's 2006 Mazda 2 times, and in between my son came over, noted the uneven tire pressure of both cars, and filled the deflated tires to proper levels. All of this on a single charge! When I depress the button, the light is so bright I'm hesitant to charge it a 2nd time--at least not until I've charged 20 or more cars in my block during the next freeze. This charger is, plain and simple, incredible. (Moreover, I keep it by my treadmill, just to be able to have charged iPads, iPods and iPads ready to go each day.) I don't see how you can do any better than this. But folks of a gentler disposition or physique may understandably wish to try something less heavy and bulky. If you live in a more temperate climate or are a benefactor of global warming, perhaps one of the smaller, lighter units will do the job--but you might try for a 5-year warranty. Whenever I'm tempted to complain about the weight of this unit, all I have to do is recall the weekly experience of lugging--not at the same time, fortunately--three Fender Rhodes pianos to week-end jobs. (Forget the 88, which is more keys than you need, and the 56, which is too few keys. Stick with the 73-key model, and always bring wire-cutters, a couple of extra tines and tuning springs, and the measurement sheet for cutting the broken tine to a size that's in tune (or close enough to permit an adjustment of the spring to bring it up (or down) to the right pitch). ... show more

Reliable; great product
Size: 1000 Amps
The basic function of one of these things is pretty simple: take a car with a dead battery and give it enough of a boost in juice to get the engine to turn over. They certainly beat trying to find and then position someone to get a jump between cars. That said, there are several different "flavors" of jump starters. I've had the smaller 200 amp versions and found myself stranded when it didn't have enough oomph to start my car from a fully dead battery. I don't drive a tank or a pick-up with a Hemi, so it's not like I needed a lot of juice. The little one just didn't have the power. The person that was kind enough to brave a torrential downpour and give me a jump had a 500 amp that worked like a charm. This thing is a life saver. Off of one charge, it's jump started over five cars and one was an Avalanche with a stone dead battery. The battery has held a charge for over a year, even being in my trunk the whole time. On top of being beefy enough to start every vehicle I've attached it to, there are little bells and whistles that add to the overall wow. There's an attached LED mini-spotlight comparable to a medium mag-lite, an air compressor and - get this - a USB port AND a socket similar to your car's cigarette lighter in case you want to power/charge a gadget for hours at a time without being near a computer. This thing has some heft but I didn't find it obnoxiously heavy. It certainly weighed less than a regular car battery! Pros: 1. Portable 2. Powerful 3. Simple to use 4. Easy to understand charge meter 5. Attached LED light for use at night 6. Includes a USB port 7. Includes a cigarette lighter socket (and cord) for both powering gadgets and slow trickle charging your car's battery. Cons: 1. No charge cord. You have to use a 3-prong extension cord to recharge this. After using it for several years, I bought one for both parents and a good friend and they, too, love it. If you're on the fence about buying one of these, I'll make it easy: BUY IT. You won't regret it. ... show more
