 Dead on arrival Jan 10, 2008
By R. Thillet
"PS 3 60 hunt"
I wanted with anticipation for this product ans was let down. The charger simply doesn't work.
It's been charging over 24 hours now and the charging light stays green, it doesn't change to red as mentioned in the manual.
When I attempted to use it, thinking the battery was fully charged ( Maybe it came completely charged that's why it was green all the time), it's actually the opposite, the battery is completely drained.

Schumacher Emergency Charger is no help in an emergency Aug 08, 2010
By Scipio Africanus
"Skippy"
I bought this for my wife's car so that in the event she was stranded she could give herself a jumpstart from within the car. The charger is plugged into your cigarette lighter, and from there, is supposed to give you enough charge to restart the engine. And it is supposed to fit neatly inside your glove compartment when not in use.
"Supposed to" left us stranded on an out-of-town trip, on Labor Day no less. Although I was careful to take the little monster (and you CAN fit this brick into your glove compartment, but you will have no room for anything else in there once you do) out and regularly recharge it, it wouldn't gives us a jump. It didn't even give us so much as a cough. So, two hours later, with the car battery quickly and easily recharged by the tow truck operator, not only were we able to drive it home, but it also started the next morning, when we drove it to the mechanic's, where it received a rebuilt alternator AND a new battery (just in case).
For us, this charger only worked well when we used it as a paperweight to keep the maps and documents in the back seat (which would no longer fit in the glove compartment; see above) from flying away.
Can't recommend this item at all. Get one of the bigger ones and stow it in the trunk.

 Good Unit, great Price! Oct 04, 2006
By D. Blumberg
It charges really fast and got my car started after I had left the lights on all night! No need to get jumped or call a tow truck. Also has the USB port to charge up my mp3 player and my phone, except I can do that just about anywhere. Its small, a little weighty though. Overall very pleased.
Not worth it! Jan 21, 2012
By W. Shirley
I have had two of these. The first one would not accept a charge when I brought it home. The second one I've had for about a year. The internal battery has gone bad and will not take a charge. It is a 4 mah battery that is not available from Batteries Plus, Interstate Battery or Schumacher. I contacted them and they advised me that they had no listing for a replacement battery and they had no other answers for me.
The basic idea for the charger is good, it's just short lived and non-servicable. In my opinion it's not worth the money, use the money you would spend on this and purchase a full sized jumper battery that will actually start a vehicle for you. Please note that this was not purchased from Amazon but from a local department store.
