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.


Charges cell phones or laptop computers.


Small enough to fit in your glove box.
No More Jumper Cables
With the Simple Start there is no more worrying about lifting the hood and connecting jumper cables to the wrong part of your car battery, creating sparks and potentially damaging your vehicle. Whether you're in the rain, on an empty street on a dark night, or alone in an unfamiliar place, you no longer need to track someone down to jump-start your car. With the Black & Decker BB7B within reach, you'll never have to get under the hood to restart your car.

Charges More than Your Battery
The Simple Start offers a powerful, built-in LED light for emergency use and a 12-volt DC port for charging cell phones or anything with a car charger outlet, including laptop computers.

Easy to Store
The compact design of the BB7B allows for storage inside most glove compartments, toolboxes, car trunks, or even under the seat.

Rechargeable
The Simple Start recharges easily from any household AC outlet or DC automobile cigarette-plug style outlet, so that it will be ready the next time you need it.


Warranty
Black & Decker offers a full 2-year warranty.

1 out of 5 stars don't waste your money   July 18, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

purchased this item and needed to charge a car battery about 3 weeks later but the unit didn't work. returned it for replacement and that unit also did not work. the charger sounds great in concept, nice design and features, easy to use buttons and controls but all of this won't get you moving when your car battery is dead. it has been a long time since i have purchased an item that performed so badly. didn't even bother returning the second unit - i have wasted enought time with this useless device.


1 out of 5 stars Crappiest product I ever bought   July 13, 2008

I bought this battery charger and then I used it to start up one of my cars. I followed the instructions to the last word and it wouldn't work at all. The old fashion one seems to do a better job. So I advice anyone not to buy this thing.

I fully charged it and also put the ignition to ACC, but after the 15 minutes, I still couldnt start my car. My cockpit light got a little brighter. That is all. Dont buy it.


1 out of 5 stars Did not work from the start   July 10, 2008

I bought this item about a year ago and at first, I thought that my car lighter was not working but it is working, it's this battery booster that is not doing its job. Even after I leave it to charge for a full day, when it is needed, it still does not do the work. To think that at the time I bought it I paid about $54 plus shipping and handling to be delivered on a saturday but it did not work. I wish I can return it.


5 out of 5 stars Works Great For Me! Mystified By Negative Reviews.   July 1, 2008

I use the Simple Start at work. We have these trucks that are equipped with way too much electronics and to save money the owners didn't want to upgrade the stock 12v battery charging system. Consequently, if a truck goes unused for longer than 1 day the trickle drain on the battery knocks it out so you can't start the vehicle with out a lot of trouble and assistance. But not for me! I charge the Simple Start up over the weekend, plug it into the lighter outlet, let it charge the battery for 15 min. and the truck starts every Monday morning. I love it. Now you have to be careful about following the instructions. When you plug in the Simple Start and hit the 'charge' button, you have to be sure the power is going to the 12v battery. Usually this means putting the car key in the accessory position. It works so well for me and I'm so satisfied with it, it's hard to understand other reviewers problems with it.
