 Battery booster November 13, 2008

Sorry to say I didn't like this product. I tried several times to jump start (Or charge) a car battery and it failed all the time. I have seen this in stores as "Closeouts ETC.) I think everybody is getting rid of them. I'm keeping it for a external battery supply for a GPS unit in an airplane otherwise I would have tossed it. That's about all it's good for. Save your money and buy a regular charger or trickle charger and leave it on your car overnight and it will start in the morning, but not this puppy.

I purchased this product to keep in my trunk in case my battery died. I plugged it into the wall to charge it, but all I get is an incessant beeping. The unit won't charge, and the Black and Decker support directed me to keep trying to charge it in the hopes that it might start working.
The unit won't charge. It's pretty, it looks like it could be very useful, and it has a nice design. But it won't charge.
I'm sure some of them are great. November 2, 2008

I got this because when I am a forgetful person and have left my headlights on 3 times in the past month. I bought it, took it home, and followed the directions on charging it, and it started beeping loudly as if an alarm was going off. I know I'm not the only one with this problem ([...]), but I figured I'd exchange it to see if it was only that one that was defective. Wrong. The second one did the same thing, only the beep was different. Currently I am trying to find the time to exchange it again, and hopefully 3rd time's the charm. I'm sure it's a great product if you can find one that works, but I've had no such luck, and based on other review I've seen, neither have many other people.

Useless product. I purchased this unit and plugged it into the wall to charge it. It beeps incessantly when I pushed the recharge button, and won't hold a charge. The black and decker website says to turn it off and on, and try recharging it again, but that doesn't work.
You may be tempted to purchase this product, but you're wasting your money. Don't say you weren't warned.

I bought it, put it in the trunk and forgot about it. I pulled it out one day and went to plug it into the wall to charge it. It's been sitting there for about two months. I check it twice a week, still hasn't re-charged. It's a waste of money. I'm glad I didn't have to rely on it when I needed it.
