Customer Review :

Works as expected, great purchase.

I have this charging my HD and my Honda CRF450X, works great. Both bikes start right up when I get on em... I was delaying buying this for no reason, but finally did. It's great. I bought the standard product and extended the leads myself. I mounted the main box on the wall and hard wired it in to power... So it's always there when I need it.

Again you can't go wrong with this device, I have only had a month, but works as advertised for sure.

No substitute

Nothing works as well as Deltran's various Battery Tender products to keep a live battery in good health or revive a dead one. This model is particularly nice since it can charge two batteries at once, and can be wall-mounted in a way that keeps it out of the way in your garage but still lets you see the charging status lights. If you have a car that doesn't get driven very often, or if you work on old cars as a hobby, you need this. 'Nuff said.

Keeps My Boat Alive

I bought this one for the batteries in my boat. I store my boat and in the compartment where my batteries are there is no room for an on-board charger, so I went with this Tender. Since I have been using it my batteries have been perfect.

battery charger

So far it is great. I have 2 batteries connected basically at all times unless I am using one and it is great. Small and compact, it charges these batteries for a golf cart overnight with no problem and is a snap to use. I hope that it lasts but so far, no problems!!!

A compact and light charger that works

I bought the Battery Tender 2-Bank Battery Management System charger to replace a very old one that is close to end of life and mostly, for the capability of:
1. charging two batteries concurrently
2. overcharging protection

I was pleased with the weight of the Battery Tender, the compact size and the simple user's interface that shows the status of the charge. It does the job effectively and the price is right. I haven't had it long enough to make statement about its reliability except that it appears to be well made. It is a plus that this charger can be used on a long list of different types of battery. Please check the manufacturer's list to make sure that it fits the intended use.

A useful and effective portable jump starter

This review is for the Black & Decker JUS500IB 500 Amp Jump Starter with Inflator

I received this last week, plugged it in to charge the battery, and planned to leave it in the garage. I wasn't planning on writing a review until I used it, until this morning when I needed jump-start my car because "someone" left the lights on overnight. Sure enough, I put this baby to work immediately and the engine started (no surprise there).

What I was surprised about was that I needed to connect both the positive and negative to their respective terminals. At first, I connected the negative clamp to the chasis (like how I would normally jump a car), but my car would not start. I tried several places along the non-painted metal frame part and even the engine block of the dead car to no avail. As a last resort, I connected it to the bolt of the negative post (while wearing eye protection), and the car started. I know this is a no-no, but nothing else worked, and I needed to go to work. I'll troubleshoot at a later time (or most likely never). (Minus half-star)

Now, I keep it in the trunk, just in case. It has a nice compact body, so it does not take up much space. I like the light on the unit, but it is also a bit awkward to use (it points UP, rather than down), so I had to hold the unit upside down to see what I was doing. I have yet to use the inflator, so I have nothing to contribute about it. I did try it, and it seems to work. The compartment for the hose is awkward (behind a small plastic door underneath), but at least the hose is stored and not dangling around.

It does not come with an extension cord, which is required for charging. Luckily, I had one available, but it would have been nice to have come with one (even a six-footer would be nice). (Minus half star)

Overall, a very nice portable jump starter. I have a project car that constantly needs a jump, so this will come in handy. For those who do not anticipate to use it a lot, this unit may be a bit overkill, and there are other smaller and cheaper alternatives. Highly recommended. Will update in a few months.

Note to Amazon: This product comes with an "AC charger," and not an "air conditioning charger." Please make the appropriate change in the product description section.

Useful tool - But inflator died suddenly

So far this unit has performed well. I used it to jump-start a raggedy old farm tractor, and the little box seems to have an impressive amount of cranking power (for short bursts, anyway).

I've used the inflator twice to inflate a car and a truck tire. Takes awhile to get a tire up to pressure, but's that's normal with these little compressors. For it's size, it's quite adequate as an emergency air source. Took me about 8 minutes to bring the car tire up from 25 PSI to 45 PSI (under the weight of the vehicle). Really not that bad.

The truck tire took a bit longer, as I had to stop the unit to let it cool down. B&D recommends running the inflator for no more than 10 minutes continuously. Total time to bring this nearly-flat tire up to pressure: Just under a half-hour. Again, not too shabby considering how small this thing is.

I like the layout of the controls and indicators. Clear, easy to read, easy to access. Storage for the jumper cables is OK. I'd prefer to see them stowed in a sealed compartment, but they seem pretty secure. Keep the clamps clean, and there shouldn't be any issues storing this in a car.

Storage for the inflator hose is cheesy. It's stuffed into a tiny compartment, and you have to really bend the hose in order to get it inside. The maximum length of the air hose is about 2 feet. You must set the unit very close to the tire for the hose to reach the valve. Not a problem for me so far, but keep this in mind if you need a unit with a long reach. B&D could have done better here.

A major gripe I have is that the inflator has no provision for a backup power source. Depending on how long the internal battery will remain charged in storage, you might find it lacks the juice to power the unit in an emergency. Why couldn't B&D include a 12V cigarette adaptor for this situation? For a unit that's supposed to be a piece of emergency gear, this seems like a glaring oversight. You'd better hope that the internal battery is extremely reliable - without it, the unit is useless. Could have been a five-star rating if not for that issue.

Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase. Reliability will be the ultimate test, and it's still too early to pass judgement. If it holds up season after season, and delivers the goods when really needed, I may change my rating to 5 stars. For under 100 bucks, I'd say give it a try.

UPDATE: 12 Jan 2010
The inflator died on me, with less than 4 hours total runtime. The motor was cranking away, but there was no air pressure at all. Brought it to a B&D service center, and paid $15 to have a new one shipped to my home. No hassle at all returning the unit, and the replacement is working as advertised - so far. Maybe I just got a lemon, so I'm not going to downgrade the rating at this time. Will check back at a later date.

A close up visual is always important...

Excellent jumper cables for my son's automobile needs. The length is right, colors adequate, cable connection secured to clamps.

The only reason this product did not receive a five star was the image led me to believe the jaws where solid brass (similar to my old jumpers) but they are not.

Still good quality though and my son appreciated the cables!

Battery Tender Alligator clips

The Battery Tender Alligator clips allow me to charge a battery without having to install the ring type terminals on the positive and negative posts. I can also charge a battery without having to remove it from a vehicle or removing the cables from the battery. A very handy item to use with my Deltran 4-bank charger.

Not Bad But

This is a good product but the inline fuse does not work, it kept blowing each time I tried jumping off my bike. I had to cut out the fuse and it worked just fine after that.

Unit looks good and makes sense but has problems

Unit looks good and makes sense but has problems:

1)The manual is unclear and says that before jumpstarting, all switches should be off. However, in fact the jump start safety switch needs to be on.

2) It had only enough power to barely turn over, let alone start, my Mazda Millennium.
