Schumacher IP-125 Instant Power Jump Starter With 12 Amp Hour Battery Review
The Schumacher IP (Instant Power) 125 Jump Starter with 12Ah (amp hour) Battery is powerful and convenient multi-purpose source of power while on the road. Packed with the capacity to generate up to 750 peak Amps of jumpststarting power, which can be used to revive a faltering or power a range of devices via the unit's 15-amp DC power socket, the IP-125 is the perfect companion to everything from drivers on the go, to household emergency kits. Additional features include: Maintenance Mode charging and DC circuit breaker protection.
The Schumacher IP-125 is a combination DC powered Jump Starter and external 12-volt power source, that goes wherever you do. Built around a powerful 12-volt, 12Ah, AGM battery, the IP-125C generates up to 750 peak Amps which can funneled into the onboard jumpstarter rated at 250A @ 5 seconds. Jumpstarting events utilize two 18" battery leads that wrap out of the way when not in use. In addition, the unit's charge can also be used to power all manner of DC powered devices via the unit's 12-volt DC outlet and a user-supplied DC power adapter.
External 12-volt power sources are a must-have accessory for any driver who spends a decent amount of time on the road, but like any battery-based tool, for all their uses they are only as good as the charge they carry when you need them. For this reason most require an ongoing schedule of monitoring and recharging by owners in order to maintain a proper charge without damaging the internal battery, but the Schumacher IP-125 is differernt. Its built-in charger, fed by an extension cord (sold separately) features Maintenance Mode charging. Maintenance Mode charging is a smart charging cycle that initially charges your battery at an efficiently high rate up to a preset level, at which point charging ceases. When the battery eventually drops below this level again, another less powerful charging cycle begins that is just strong enough to raise the battery's charge to the preset optimal level. This smart charging does not pose a risk of overcharging, and so enables you to leave your Schumacher IP-125 plugged in all the time. It will always be ready when you toss it in the car and go.
Schumacher Electric Corporation (the "Manufacturer") warrants this Instant Power (IP) Jumpstarter and DC Power Source for one (1) year and the internal battery for ninety days from the date of purchase at retail against defective material or workmanship that may occur under normal use and care. If your unit is not free from defective material or workmanship, Manufacturers obligation under this warranty is solely to repair or replace your product, with a new or reconditioned unit, at the option of the Manufacturer.

Duracell DPP-600HD Powerpack 600 Jump Starter & Emergency Power Source with Radio Review
Households around the world trust Duracell for high-quality, long-lasting batteries. As part of their industry-leading line of superior quality power products, Duracell has created highly reliable, rugged portable power solutions that you can count on in any situation. From power outages and roadside emergencies to remote jobsites and the great outdoors, the heavy-duty Duracell Powerpack 600 will be there to provide plentiful power for work, recreation and emergency backup situations. Do you frequently need extra power for your tools or accessories, but none is available? If an outlet is not in reach or plugging into the dashboard's cigarette lighter is simply not an option, the Duracell Powerpack 600 is the perfect solution. This robust stand-alone battery based power source is powerful enough to run many popular electronics, small appliances and power tools, and can even jump-start vehicle batteries. A multitude of safety and emergency features assures safe, simple "plug and play" operation, even when used by consumers who possess only basic technical knowledge.
The heart of the Duracell Powerpack 600 is a sealed, non-spillable 28 ampere-hour AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery. The Powerpack can be safely and conveniently recharged from any household AC outlet or DC cigarette-lighter outlet, so that it is ready to go whenever you need it. This robust battery is tied to a power inverter that provides 600 watts of power to its three grounded AC outlets and one DC socket. Multiple outlets give you the flexibility and convenience to operate several appliances at once, while the 3-digit barograph LED indicator dynamically monitors the Duracell Powerpack's battery charge level. Internal protection circuitry ensures long inverter life by safeguarding against overload and over-temperature conditions. An audible alarm also signals during overheating and under-voltage situations, alerting you to any possible safety concerns.
The Powerpack's 28-amp battery can jump start most 8-cylinder engines with its included jumper cables. A reverse polarity detector further ensures your safety by disallowing power transfer in the event that the jumper cables are connected to the incorrect battery terminals in error. Duracell Powerpack 600 also provides ample power to recharge and operate cordless and cellular telephones. At the same time, it can operate emergency lights, televisions and a wide range of DC-powered products. A built-in AM/FM clock-radio provides access to news and emergency broadcasts, while the built-in emergency light provides extra illumination to keep you out of the dark and to signal to others if you are stranded. Perfect for Outdoor Adventures From remote job sites to the family picnic, Duracell Powerpack's portability makes it an excellent choice for any outdoor adventure. It is strong enough to run power tools and equipment on the job site or in the wilderness. The 600-watt power inverter also lets you bring some of the comforts of home to your campsite or outing. Small appliances, portable coolers, laptops, televisions and gaming consoles will run for hours. With an ultra-bright built-in LED light, Duracell Powerpack 600 assures that you'll never be left in the dark. If planning a longer trip without an access to a traditional power source, small, unregulated 12 V solar panels, rated to produce a maximum of 2.5 A (or 30 W), can be used to charge the Duracell Powerpack through the AC charger input socket. Please refer to the Powerpack users' manual for instructions. Comes Equipped with Everything You Need The Duracell Powerpack 600 includes several convenient accessories. Compatible jumper cables allow you to jump start your vehicle without the need to connect to another car battery. The AC adapter recharges the unit from any standard wall outlet and stows away inside the unit when not in use. A DC charging cable can be inserted into any standard cigarette-lighter outlet, providing re-chargeability on-the-go in any automobile, boat, or RV. A versatile accessory bag is also included for storage. Key Applications

Duracell Jump-start and Powerpack Model Specification Comparison
Specifications are subject to change without notice* CA = Cranking Amps: the amount of current an automotive battery can deliver for 30 seconds at 32° F, without dropping below a specified cut-off voltage (usually 10.5 volts). * CCA = Cold Cranking Amps: the amount of current an automotive battery can deliver for 30 seconds at 0° F, without dropping below a specified cutoff voltage (usually 10.5 volts).Note: When selecting a jump-starter the CCA performance rating should meet or slightly exceed, you vehicle manufacturer's recommendation OR it should be suitable for the coldest temperatures in your climate. Note: When selecting a jump-starter, do not base you decision on the manufacturer's noted "Peak Amps." High peak amp value does not guarantee the performance of the jump-starter. Refer to CA and CCA values instead and align them with your vehicle manufacturer's specifications.About Battery-Biz, Inc.

Sunforce 52013 1.8-Watt Solar Battery Maintainer (Pack of 2) Review
The Sunforce 52013 1.8 Watt Solar Battery Maintainer Twin Pack is comprised of two solar battery maintainers that are ideal for the batteries of cars, SUVs, boats, tractors and more. The units are completely maintenance-free and easy to install. Just plug this solar charger into your vehicle's 12-Volt lighter socket and position the panel to pick up the most daylight possible. Or, if you prefer, use the included alligator clips to connect it directly to the battery, so you can keep your lighter socket open for cell phone chargers or other accessories.
Regardless of how you hook up the battery maintainer, you will always be able to start your vehicle. Constructed with a built-in blocking diode to prevent reverse discharge, the amorphous solar panels charge in all daylight conditions, even on cloudy days. The complete kit for each unit includes 7.5 feet of wire, 12V DC plug, suction cups for easy mounting, and battery clamps. With a maximum temperature range from -40 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit, each solar panel provides 1.8 Watts or 125 mA of power to prevent the natural voltage drain of batteries over time.
This Sunforce solar charger lets you harness the power of the sun, the most powerful and plentiful source of energy available to us. Unlike nuclear and fossil fuels, solar power is clean and pollution-free, and the equipment requires very little maintenance to operate.
Solar panels convert sunlight into an electric current, they do not store power. Amorphous solar panels are created by spraying silicon onto glass in very thin layers, and are commonly known as thin film solar panels. This process allows them to be better at generating electricity in all lighting conditions, including cloudy or shady environments. They have a maximum operating temperature range of -40 to 176-degrees Fahrenheit, requiring virtually no maintenance. They can even withstand impacts from one-inch hailstones at 50 miles-per-hour.
Amorphous solar cells work in all daylight conditions--even on cloudy days. Please note that this amorphous solar panel needs to be inside the dash of a vehicle or by a window indoors as it is not waterproof.
Amorphous Silicon key points:
- Lightweight, portable, and shade tolerant
- For entry to solar or hands on solar
- Best for smaller output needs, temporary set ups, and areas that do not receive predictable sun conditions
