Editorial Review :

The Cobra Jump Starter Powerpack means you'll never be stranded or without emergency power again. The Jump Start Powerpack contains a maintenance-free, high-efficiency sealed lead acid battery with 1800 Watts of power to jumpstart your vehicle without the safety and mechanical risks inherent with the old style of vehicle-to-vehicle jumper cables. The Reverse Polarity Indicator lets you know when the proper connection to the battery has been made. Then, the jump starter safety switch safely transfers power to the high-efficiency heavy-duty booster cables. The Jump Start Powerpack also comes with a convenient 12-Volt DC output and a 5-Volt USB output to power and charge mobile electronic devices such as iPods, PDAs, and DVD players when you're at the work site, on the road, or camping. Additionally, it contains a 400-Watt/110-Volt AC Outlet for operating household appliances anywhere that traditional electricity isn't available. The ultra-bright LED light can be used either at work or in an emergency, and the on-board 260 PSI air compressor is a must-have for flat tires, inflating sports equipment, or getting the air mattress set for camping. When the battery status LED lights up, simply use the included AD/DC charging jack to bring your unit back to full power and ready for the next incident.

Wears out quickly, mostly useless

I purchased the unit partly to take around in the car, mostly for portable emergency power on long trips through wide open country, partly for portable convenience power when traveling by car, and partly for in-house emergency power (in case a storm knocks out the power.) It takes 24-30 hours plugged into a wall outlet to completely charge the unit from an "empty" state. (The charger is a separate power brick, so be sure to take it along if you're on a road trip and need to recharge.) At first, when not in use, it held that "full" charge for about two weeks. The auto power port (formerly known as a cigarette lighter), USB power power (good for charging an iPod or similar device), and 3-pronged 120 VAC outlet (for running just about any normal household device) all worked fine and could run various low to medium powered appliances for several hours from a full charge. The the built-in air compressor is handy for re-inflating tires that are low. Haven't actually tried the built-in jumper cables on a car with a dead battery yet. The built-in LED light is handy for using the device in the dark, but the unit's far too heavy to be used as a common flashlight.

After just two months (with no actual use beyond initial try-out), the unit can no longer hold a full charge for 24 hours when not in use. After charging for a full day, the power now tests "low" after only 12 hours of non-use, and "empty" after two days. The only way it can be used as emergency power is if it's kept continuously connected to charging power (120v wall outlet.) It's not much use packing it around in the car anymore; even if it was fully charged in the morning, by dusk it will be "low" and it won't power anything for long.

I consider this purchase a complete waste of my money.

Cobra cjic 350 Car / home survival tools

Eve did a wonderful reveiw so I will just add where I can see some points to help someone .

First you always get what you pay for . This is not as good for starting cars as the Jump and Carry but its great for the average person in average circumstances . For one thing the cables are very short and mine came with a newer 900 peak amp starting rating . Anyone else not have the 1800 sticker on the front ?

I also noticed mine has a 14 amp sealed lead acid battery its not a AGM like the jump and carry which is 18 amp . This one has a small reserve battery too

One of the most important features of this unit is you can leave it plugged in and it has overcharge protection in it's power cord . Thats a deal maker .

The air pump isnt a Viair 70p it takes 5-10 minutes to top of a tire , vibrates with moving parts , very loud , but it works and would help you fix a flat on the car if you have a tire plug kit and a pair of pliars to take out a nail or screw from tread

There is room in the back where the hose for the tire pump is to put the charger / a plug kit / the two inflator nozzles and I can see where the door might not always remain closed in time so also a small roll of tape to tape it shut .

The set up is very nice and well thought out . I had thought it was a larger battery and hoped it was more advanced but this is good . Its old tech and thus thats why the reasonable price . I will add on later on wear tear and how it works . However I figure I pretty much know . If it runs my laptop for 4 hours between charges I will be happy .

I was suprised this unit does not come with a DC charging cord . I thought if you bought a line with two male ends on your own it would charge that way but there were no references to this . I did see a reference to using DC and found my old chargers one worked but no other info on where to buy one from Cobra . I was dissapointed but not a deal break for me I just have to share the one I have between two units now . I also have a generator for campling / power outages so whenever I run it I will also charge the this up its a niche tool so you not have to use jumpers or a generator for small things . Very nice unit for personal all around use . If you want to jump dead cars more then have a storm / car utillity tool buy the Jump and Carry where you can replace the batteries too and get a lifetime warranty for battery replacement onetime . This one ..when the battery dies or sulfates so the charge time is less and less you just toss in the trash .

I would recomend it to everyone ..it should be in every car and thus home when you are for when the power goes out . I am disabled and wouldnt think of not having one . I run a 12 volt fan when camping/ power outages with it and the light is nice too .Perfect for filling bike / lawnmore tires over getting out the compressor.

However for people really into starting cars and filling large tires and infatables buy the 660 jump and carry with a Viair portable `12 volt pump .. it may cost more but you will be amazed its 4 times the power and air volume . Instead of 40 minutes with rest periods to do the tires you will fill them in 10 . Current cost though would be about $100 more then this set up . This is perfect for a passanger vehicle in all but the worst weather with a weak battery or if you use larger 32 inch tires . Take care .

Nice Heavy Duty Jumper Cables

Normally you don't need jumper cables, but when you do you need a good set that are long. These are heavy duty, long and very durable. I bought these to go in my pickup truck.

Good Jumper Cables for the money, But.....

For the price and in the right situations these are good cables. Good length, good ga. wire and copper connectors. But for me where they fall short is at the clamps and this type of clamp seems to be on MANY cables available today. I could not see it in the photos but the clamps are uneven at the ends because of the extra notch the manufacturer adds on one side to make it easier to connect to side terminal batteries. Also there are NO teeth on the end of the jaws so you HAVE to make your connection using the teeth on the sides of the jaws. This does not sound like a big deal until you are in a tight situation and have to clamp onto a top post battery straight down, then you have an uneven clamp end and no teeth to grip the post. I happen to also have a car (a domestic) with a remote mounted battery, not a HOT ROD or modified car, just a stock factory production car where the manufacturer could not fit the battery under the hood for space saving and design reasons and put it elsewhere in the car. Remote batteries used to be a rare thing on mostly European cars but it is fairly common now on all makes of cars. With the battery not under the hood or in the trunk I have a Pos. and Neg. lug under the hood at the end of battery cables to jump the car with. The Pos. lug is surrounded by plastic in a depression to prevent anything from accidentally hitting it and shorting. Because of this there is little room and I can not get the side of these jumper cable clamps to grab the lug, I need teeth on the end of the jaws to grip the Pos. lug. I'm returning these cables and for $15 more (on sale) than the price of these cables I got the same length, the same 4 ga. wire, clamps with teeth on all 3 sides, even jaw ends, a side terminal connection in the jaws, and they came with a hard plastic storage case, safety glasses and gloves. After shopping around for a week I found this is a great deal. I shopped all over the Net and in my local stores comparing prices wire length, size, and end clamps. There are many great items for great prices at Amazon but if you need what I need in a jumper cable go to your local SEARS.

Good Price/Quality compromise.

I finally bought one after reading all the reviews, the product is good for moderate use not for professionals I believe, it claims to have a 4 gauge cable (flexible weldering style) it looks a little bit less than that to me but can't prove it with facts, clamps could be better they all have a different tension feel when you squeeze them (bit annoying) it comes inside a heavy duty carton with handles for storage and it's very compact for a 16 footer. Conclusion, a GOOD cosumer quality product if you are not looking and wiling to pay for the very best. I'm satisfied.

Good sturdy and reliable!

What more do you need in a set of jumper cables? I had a car safety kit and need to give a friend a jump so I pulled out the cables and hooked them up. After 10 minutes of waiting his car still did not start. I left the cable attached to my car and touched the other two together and nothing happened. I ended up having to tear each handle apart, strip each conductor end, and reattach to get the cables to work. Even after that the cable were extremely hot after using them. With this set I will not have to worry about any of that.

If you think your cheap, thin gauge jumper cables are going to do the trick, think again. Without a set like these you are likely to end up stranded or start a fire.

Rating :

Very well-built

These jumper cables are quite big and heavy because of their gauge. That makes it a little difficult to keep your trunk organized. However, they are very durable and feel very well built. I don't think the cable will become detached from the clamps - they fastened pretty well.

Works Great - better than expected.

Just used this for the first time on the 4th of July and it lasted all day. 10am to 11pm. We went to the beach and of course wanted music. This powered the ipod and speakers for 13 hours. We were thrilled; thought it would give out long before we were ready to leave. It also charged 2-4 phones during the day, maybe more I lost track. I'm a 5'4 female and I can easily carry this. It charges fully in about 4 hours. I highly recommend this.

Great idea, but it failed on me and is fairly limited

I purchased this powerpack in spite of the bad reviews. I thought (I hoped) I'd be one of the lucky ones and the product would work for me. I used it twice before it would no longer charge. From AC, it fully charged after about 20 hours. The first thing I noticed was that the three AC outlets are too close and/or are oriented in such a way that no more than one item can be charged at a time. This is because many plugs are not simple, small and 2 or 3 pronged - they are instead adaptor-like and larger. There is no point to offer 3 AC outlets if you can only use one at a time. The second thing I noticed is that the 26W Brunton Flexible Solar Panel that is recommended with it is just sized way too small. It will take nearly 24 hours of full sun to fully charge this battery using a 26 watt solar panel. It can recharge a cell phone, it can light up a 13 watt CFL lamp, power up a 7" tv, run a foodsaver, a small fan, and well, that's about it. It can't run any coffeemaker that I have, it can't run any medium sized appliances. It's limited to say the least. The good news is that Amazon will quickly replace it. Why buy another one? Well, the size and portability is nice. I like that it has a DC outlet. The light and radio are just alright. Why not use LED? Radio knobs (small screws) are so small as to be ridiculous. I hope the second one is a winner and won't fail on me.

Doesn't work

I charged it fully but the LCD reading for the reader only shows a few dashes leaving it unreadable. The LCD for the function stays on 0 the whole time no matter what I do. I've tried plugging in various items to the AC outlets and they don't work or barely feed any juice to them rendering it useless. What a waste of money.

Duracell 600 Powerpack

I bought the Duracell battery pack to use solely to run a 19" TV and a antenna/receiver. I need it to operate these up to two hours. So far, the unit as worked great for this purpose. The unit has a window to show the percentage it is charged, and two hours of usage used less than half of the charge. It is also OK to keep it plugged in to 110 volt AC to charge it all of the time when not in use. I gave it four out of five stars because it is too soon to know if it will hold up.Duracell DPP-600HD Powerpack 600 Jump Starter & Emergency Power Source with Radio

Better Safe than Sorry

This Jump Starter & Emergency Power Source works amazingly well for me in the few weeks I've had it. It charges my laptop great and many other things I have as well. Also, I not only would recommend this product just for occasional use, but in preparation. I live in an area that is known for its earthquakes and I don't want to take the chance of having my car stuck somewhere miles away from civilization. Better safe than sorry and I know I can count on this when I really would need it.

Beware. If you need a strong trickle charger, this ain't it. It's not necessarily a problem w/ the product, it's just somewhat misleading if you're battery needs stronger amperes.

there are a lot of these battery trickle/float type chargers around and most of them just seem to be copies of the battery tender products. i havent used it for a long time - less than a year, and it has helped a battery stay alive for an infrequently driven vehicle. this one is waterproof as well (i dont think i found any others that were waterproofd), but i haven't really tested that feature. i bought two of these, and they work great.
