Worthless description of product.
- what are the dimensions?
- how long will it hold a charge in the trunk of my car? (some last only a couple of weeks some are supposed to last for 3 months)
Someone needs to make one of these that trickle charges from the car’s battery so the backup is always fully charged.

I bought this product because the interior lights in my van are often left on and the battery drains quickly. I didn’t test it, but when I needed it, it didn’t work. It was not compatible w/ my 2004 Honda Odyssey or 1999 Honda Accord, but did work on a 1994 Ford F 150. I can’t return it to the store because it has been over 90 days. Very disappointed in this product. I checked all the specs when I purchased it and it didn’t say it wasn’t compatible.

The battery in my VW Golf tends to go dead because I don’t get a chance to drive it much, so I bought this product with the hope that it would start it the next time it died. I charged it exactly as was stated in the manual and it still did not have enough juice to start my car. If it has this much trouble with a small Golf I don’t imagine it would work much better with other cars.
It could just be that I received a defective unit but in my experience, it couldn’t get the job done.

purchased this about two yrs ago, never had to use it to jumpstart any car. But last month my wife had a flat tire, used the fix-a-flat stuff for a partial inflation repair, then tried using the compressor (was just charged the prior evening). Compressor ran at full bore for less then 10 seconds, then barely ran at all.
recharged it again, while it was at full charge turned on compressor without any tire connected and same thing.
if you want this as an all purpose unit, only depend on it as a power source but not as a emergency air compressor

I bought this unit because last winter my car battery failed and I needed a jump start. So I bought this unit and I’ve kept it charged and in my trunk. A cold snap last week rendered my car battery dead… I pulled this out and there wasn’t enough power to get the car started. Very disappointing. I’m going to throw it away because it’s useless – it doesn’t work. Might work on a warm sunny day – but in a cold situation when most batteries fail and you really need it, it doesn’t work. Don’t waste your money. Instead replace your car battery every 2 years or so and you won’t have any need for this or any problems.
