Cheap car jumpstarter @ walmart

[Sam1]

Shopping for a battery pack for the car today and ran across a nice deal: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-FatMax-700-Amp-Peak-Jump-Starter-with-Compressor-Bonus-Road-Side-Service-J7CSR/38243769

 

$39 with a compressor & year of roadside assistance (including unlocks & 25 mile tow, gas all that jazz)

That is a nice deal. I went into my walmart a couple of days ago to get a cheap one to keep handy for the tractor. I saw this one on clearance for $13. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher-Electric-600-Amp-Jump-Starter/46167070?action=product_interest&action_type=title&item_id=46167070&placement_id=irs-106-t1&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id&category=&client_guid=4f95117a-6870-43cd-b7d0-e7b77feffe76&customer_id_enc&config_id=106&parent_item_id=38243769&parent_anchor_item_id=38243769&guid=143114ff-d943-419f-8ef4-a71627ff01ce&bucket_id=irsbucket003&beacon_version=1.0.1&findingMethod=p13n

I bought two. The one you linked to is a nicer unit though, and I'm tempted to get one to keep in my truck. Edited February 26, 2016 by Wingshooter

My parents got me a Stanley jump starter/compressor for Christmas; they are actually made some other company. Mine would never fully charge the battery, so it got returned.

One other problem I saw with mine was that it said to charge it monthly. Between that and its size, I forsaw that being an issue to it being useful to keep in the car for emergencies.

oh you have to charge it monthly?  that sucks... May have to return it then, the el cheapo one it is replacing lasted at least 5-6 months ad that thing was only about $25/refurb

I have one that I got at Northern Tool - has the compressor, usb port, light.  I charge it every few months, but it's never gone dead on me.
