Amazon.com Product Description
Being stranded by the side of the road with a drained car battery can cause anyone to panic, especially if you don't have jumper cables. But you can give your car battery a boost from inside the comfort of your car with Black & Decker's Simple Start Battery Booster Car Starter. The Simple Start puts you back on the road quickly--just plug, charge, and go. No need for jumper cables or waiting for help to arrive. Simply insert the Simple Start's DC adapter into any of the car's 12-volt DC or cigarette lighter outlets and wait several minutes. A boost indicator LED and audible beep lets you know when your battery is charged and ready to start. 
Instead of jumper cables, plug the Simple Start into your cigarette lighter and start your car in minutes. View larger. |

 Works January 5, 2009
Gavin D. Holland (NJ)
I left the map light on overnight on my 2002 Toyota Highlander and it wouldn't start the next day.
I took my bicycle out and road 2 miles to my nearest Target store and bought this and cycled back. I was a bit sceptical after reading the reviews.
I charged it up for 5 hours; the charge light hadn't stopped flashing - but it was getting dark and I decided to chance my luck. I plugged it in the 12V Acc port in the Highlander. It beeped and did nothing. I then turned the key to "Acc" (as per manual) and then tried again - bingo - the green light started flashing.
After 15 minutes the light stopped flashing and I could then start the car.
I then charged the Booxter up again overnight and I'll put this in the glove box.
Nice product.

This unit has a known defect, it continually beeps while charging. Not only does the unit not charge but the sound is too annoying to stand. B&D's remedy of turning the unit on and off several times does not work either. Be on the safe side and do not buy this product.

I had the same problem that others did. Fresh from the box, the device wouldn't charge. I called the manufacturer and they acknowledged the known problem. They tried to help me "reset" it but that didn't work. I purchased mine at a local hardware store. It is going back this weekend.
This thing looks like a great idea for my wife - if it works.

My son left his car with me and the battery went dead. I hoped I could use this to get it going, but it didn't happen. I'm not great at using jumper cables. Guess this is good if my car needs a boost in cold weather - we shall see.

Purchase this product at your own risk. I purchased one and it cost me over $600 in repair bills to have damages caused by this jump starter on my car.
