When the temperatures drop quickly, it seems like that is the time your vehicle battery will let you know that it is just not as strong as it used to be. Your four year old child is looking at you expectantly wondering why you are not making the car go. Your wondering how you are going to ever reorganize your day to deal with this small disaster. A full morning of missed appointments, late meetings, getting your child to the day care, and finding someone to help you get the car started leaves you feeling overwhelmed and nauseous. Battery jump starters can save the day. Here are the cold facts about the Stanley J5C09.

Full Of Great Features.

This jump starter provides 1000 peak amps and 500 amps of continuous power, enough to start any car, pickup, RV, or boat. This unit will not leave you working in the dark as it has a powerful led light that swivels 270 degrees keeping your work safely visible. Trouble comes in threes it is said. After you start your car, then fill that low tire with the built in 120 psi compressor or charge that mobile device from the built in usb outlet. Not all battery jump starters offer the durability of the J5C09. With a tough high impact resistant case and strong metal carry handle you can rely on it functioning when you need it. For those of us who are not mechanics this unit comes equipped with a reverse polarity warning system, assuring the novice of doing the job safely and correctly. Keeping your Stanley J5C09 fully powered is simple with the twelve volt accessory plug or A.C. socket for an extension cord.

What is not to like?

At eighteen pounds this thing is a bit awkward and charging takes up to fifteen hours. In addition, it does not maintain a peak charge while plugged in, so it must be unplugged after it is charged and then plugged back in every couple of months to keep it fully charged.

The Bottom Line.

This jump starter is a competitive value delivering higher amperage than most other models in its price range. The full range of features in this model make it an excellent choice for men and women who travel, or recreational enthusiasts who finds themselves far from the beaten path. This battery jump starter means getting your child to the day care on time, making those meetings and keeping your appointments.
