These batteries really work!
Firstly, you should note that I have the earlier 250 watt version of this powerpack (very similar, but without the compressor).

I am buying a 2nd 300 watt version because my experience has been so good with my first one.Unlike some of the other reviewers, I had no charging problems and it has held the charge for the past several years without fail (comforting green light).The real test came during the big NYC blackout-- I was the only one with any lights on!Worked like a champ.As I said, I'm buying another one.

Great item
I bought one of these last year in a store and it worked great. Now i bought one again on here at a cheaper price. I use it in the yard to replace a long and tangled power cord to weedwack, to trim my bushes, and light an area at night for 15 -20 mins with a 300 watt light. The little LED lights are great for keeping me informed of the battery status.I filled my bike and car tires with it. I use it alot to go camping and i recharge it ever time im in the car going place to place. And this winter i have jump started 2 cars and one pickup of my coworks so far on the cold nights i leave work. I keep one at home and the other in my SUV and i will say it has payed itself off with the number of times it has come in handy.

I use it all the time!
This product is great! I have used it now for over 6 months and have been very impressed. I've even given two of these away as gifts!

I've used this Xantrex 300 watt generator and it has helped me in numerous situations:

My car battery died. I used this to jumpstart my car.

My car's tire has a slow leak. I used the air compressor function to re-inflate it. It takes a long time to inflate tires, compared to those 50 cent air/water machines at the gas stations, but it gets the job done and I can take it with me. It works on my Acura's 15 inch tires, as well as my friend's Dodge Ram (30+) inch tires.(It also has a needle to inflate sports balls, which I haven't used yet.)

My Shed has no electricity. I use the attached double lamp florescent light and I can see. (Not super bright, but it helps.)

It's primary use, however is for my laptop. I constantly plug in my laptop (Dell inspiron 8600) while in my car. I get power for 2-3 hours. A better strategy to maximize laptop use is: I use my laptop with it's long lasting Centrino battery (last's 4-5 hours). I then shut it down and recharge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours with the Xantrex 300w unit, as it has a standard outlet that I can plug into. I can then use my laptop for another 4-5 hours. Shut it down and recharge it again, etc. etc... Doing this, I can recharge my laptop battery a total of 2-3 times before the Xantrex unit needs to be recharged, and thus I can use my laptop for a total of up to 20 hours!

In response to some other reviews: They do take about 48 hours to charge fully, but you can leave it plugged in and it will automatically maintain it's full charge. I've seen it fully charged, which turns the charging indicator light green. Then I noticed a few hours later that the light was amber again, indicating it was 'maintaining' the charge to keep it full. If I had not previously noticed that the charge indicator was green (full), I too would have drawn the conclusion that it 'took longer than it was supposed to' to charge. But that is not the case.

I've also seen these things sit out in the rain for days and days and still work properly. Although I do not recommend allowing them to get wet, I do think its an attribution to their quality of workmanship. ... Read more

Might as well get the long ones....
It never fails, that when you need a jump, you are parked nose-in the parking space. With 25 foot cables, you don't need to push the car out. Plus, it doesn't matter what side the battery is on.AMAZON.COM sells 12, 16, 20 and 25 foot lengths. Compare the prices, and the 25 foot is a good value for just a little extra money. Thick, heavy, 4 gauge wire provides quick starts (these things weigh about 15 pounds!). Each clamp has a glow in the dark polarity indicator on it. At first, this sounds like a solar powered flashlight, because the cables are stored in the dark trunk, but ten seconds in front of the booster car's headlights will charge them up. Cheap jumper cables are no bargin. Buy the best and be done with it. I can't wait until my next dead battery! (Well, almost). ... Read more

Not a substitute for a Jump Start
From the Magellan's catalog description:
"PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LABEL ON THE AUTO JUMPER STATES THAT IT WILL RECHARGE A *DEAD* BATTERY IN 10 MINUTES. THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR SMALL ITEMS SUCH AS A CELL PHONE OR A LAPTOP BATTERY. THE AUTO JUMPER IS DESIGNED TO RECHARGE A WEAK CAR BATTERY, BUT WILL NOT RECHARGE A COMPLETELY DEAD ONE. "

So if you've left your lights on for three hours (like many people do), don't expect this little gizmo to get you going. However, it IS a handy, sealed, self-contained source of 12 volts for many purposes, with a built-in recharging system. ... Read more

Wrong place to put your money
For the price of this bag and a decent set of cables, you can get a portable jump start system from Husky, Coleman, etc. with a built in worklight (added bonus, you can use these systems as a power source for power outages, tailgate parties, extended cell use, etc.)And, these gadgets are easier to use and/or store than cables.Add about 10 bucks, and you can get the models that have light duty air compressors built in.

Must Have for Tidy Northerners
So you live in the north -- maybe even the Great White North, eh?Well, then you know that jumper cables are an absolute necessity for winter.Maybe you have cables and they always get in a tangle; or, perhaps you don't want to get cables because they will just make clutter.Well, then this bag is for you.

The bag is rugged, compact (the size of a good size cheesecake), and nice -- classy even.Best of all, it works!Cables stay in a nice coil, your trunk is less messy, and the cables are easy to grab when you need them.It even has a small pocket on the side for smal items.

My only wish is that it came in black!

Pay attention
Ok, I admit I should have paid a little closer attention, but beware.There are NO jumper cables with this.This is merely an overpriced BAG.I suppose if you really like to keep your jumper cables in a heavy duty bag, maybe this is for you, but if that is the case, you may be using your jumper cables too much.Let's be honest, your hope is to never use these things and if you do, you dont need them stored in some expensive bag collecting dust.

Oh by the way, this item CAN NOT BE RETURNED.So pay attention here and hopefully you are smarter than I am. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Jump-starting a car using standard jumper cables can be nerve-racking. You have to pop the hood, deal with the battery connections, untangle the cables. Plus, it's so easy to doubt yourself. Red is positive, right? Wait, or is it black? Well, thanks to Wagan's new Easy Quick Jumper, the process just got easier. This clever new gadget recharges a weak battery via cigarette lighters. Just plug one end of the Easy Quick Jumper into the cigarette lighter of the dead car, then plug the other end into the donor car's lighter, wait 5 to 10 minutes, and when the green LED light turns on, the battery is ready to go. That's it. You don't even have to open the hood. The Easy Quick Jumper has an 18-foot power cord, too, so reach isn't an issue.

The system works with all automobiles that have 12-volt electrical systems, the vast majority of cars on the road. If you're not sure about you car's voltage, check your owner's manual. --Jon Groebner ... Read more

Features

• Extra-long 18-foot power cord makes it easy to reach from car to car
• Charges batteries by connecting cigarette lighter to cigarette lighter
• Works with all 12-volt automobile vehicles (standard voltage)
• Charges a dead battery in 5 to 10 minutes
• Green LED light glows when the battery is recharged--eliminating guesswork

Let Me Down When I Needed It
This product seemed like a great idea, especially for the less mechanically inclined members of my family. In 2002, I bought 5 of these, 4 for Christmas gifts and 1 for myself. Last night, my battery died and I needed to use it for the first time. It didn't work! Nothing happened. Thank goodness the other motorist who offered the jump had a set of traditional jumper cables in her car. Of course, it's now over a year later and it's too late to return it. All I can do now is warn the other family members not to rely on my gift.

Jump Start thru cig-lighter
The name is misleading in that you aren't "Jump-starting" your car. The current that a dead battery draws off of a running (donor) car will never make it through the cigarette lighter's fuse-protection. The fuse is there in case of a short that would melt wires, and in this case, it would detect the current as a short and blow the fuse.

But the charging aspect seems straight-forward

Don't wait to try it out
I thought this idea was so great I bought 5 to give as Christmas gifts. People were really excited to get them and thought it was a neat idea. However, jump starting your car isn't something you necessarily do on Christmas morning -- or even the following month.

When we finally had occasion to use them, two turned out to be DOA -- entirely non-functional, and the other three were ineffective. Of course, by that time the Amazon 30-day return policy had kicked in, and my stocking stuffers had turned into trash can stuffers. My suggestions for this product fall into three categories:

1. If you buy it, don't wait until you need it to try it out.

2. Don't buy it early if you're giving it as a gift. (You won't be able to return it.)

3. Don't buy it at all. ... Read more

Great Jumper cables from a name you can trust...
I had one pair of these cables that I keep in the trunk of my car, and nowI am getting a second pair for my second car. Solid construction, nicethick guage. Clamps are very secure and the no tangle feature is amazing.The fact that it is also secure on side post batteries is a major plus.This is a must have for the trunk of your car, however I recommend goingwith the longer cables. It's also a nice feature that they stay flexible to-94F for those of you in colder states/areas. These things will never letyou down!!Coleman is a name you can trust in all sorts of products.Ialso recommend getting the jumper cable bag just in case they ever getdirty, you don't want the truck of your car getting dirty because of jumpercables.Very sturdy 4-guage wire provides all the amperage you need, youwont lose power through the cables length, you will always get a nice cleanstart using these cables, whether it be starting your car, or just chargingyour battery, they will not let you down. Handles are also nicely insulatedto protect you from getting electrocuted from the battery terminals. ... Read more
