Stanley Simple Start Battery Booster

I charged the unit fully when it arrived. It did become slightly warm to the touch, but it did not get hot at all.

When my 2007 Honda CRV's car battery was sufficiently discharged to a level when it would not start, I followed the instructions on the unit's 12V cable tag. After about 15 minutes being plugged-in and attached to my vehicle's 12V outlet, the unit's display informed me that I could now attempt starting-up the car. I tried it and it started-up successfully!

The next month, my 2001 Volvo V70 station wagon's car battery was now sufficiently discharged that it would not start the engine. This time the unit took the maximum 30 minutes to boost the Volvo's battery. I guess the Volvo has a larger but older battery as compared to the CRV. But the engine was able to start-up too.

I am no expert on car batteries and boosting, but it seems to me that this unit is not half bad!

my two cents

My unit didn't work right out of the box. When I called tech support to make sure I was doing everything right, I was greeted by a very rude operator who tried to tell me the unit had been discontinued for a number of years and was out of warranty. When I confronted him with the copyright on the manual being just 1 year old, I was told that I should deal with the retailer. I had higher expectations of Stanley and they will be getting a letter from me. This company they have sold their name to (so has Black & Decker and another big name I forget) is destroying their reputation.

Save your money and your frustration.

Amazing product I bought two, one for each child who both work into the early morning hours at their jobs. My son used it immediately, before he had even charged it as I instructed. The battery booster charged his battery and he was on his way in less than 10 minutes.

This is my new favorite gift and I will be buying this for years to come!

I have a 2011 Volt. It seems there is some software bug that causes the 12V battery to discharge under certain conditions. After this happened to me the first time I bought this Stanley battery booster. So when my Volt decided to die again yesterday I hooked up the Stanley to it and let it charge the car's battery for about 30 minutes until it had no more power left. I went in the car and tried to start the car but it was only half alive and all the systems wouldn't come on-line. Fortunately this happened in my garage so I was able to then charge the car's battery with my Sears charger and then the car was ready to go. So at least for my car this Stanley unit did not "save the day" for me.
