 Disappointing. June 26, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I purchased this unit based on all the positive reviews, but unfortunately, I cannot say the same. I guess I must have received a defective unit. The main battery would not charge through the dock and the LED's on the dock were not in synch, as it showed full charge whether the main unit was attached or not, even before charging. The battery charged fine on its own and I concluded that either the dock itself or the battery contacts must be faulty. I could have done without the dock, but the idea of unprotected contacts being bare makes no sense. What made me decide to return it however was the unpleasant experience with Schumacher. After 3 days of calling, each time I was given the run around and they had no records of my issue (Like I was calling for the first time). Finally they decided I had to ship the entire unit (at my cost) so they can "test it". So much for customer service and warranty on a brand new unit out of the box. I decided to return it to Amazon and they paid for the return shipping. The 3 stars is a balance of 1-2 stars for the product, 0- star for Schumacher, and 5+ stars for Amazon.
Dependable Product! June 11, 2008
I am very impressed with this product as far as it's dependability and ease of use. I had a problem with a battery drain on my vehicle in which the battery would be dead every morning when I would go to start it. I used this product every day for a few weeks to jump off the car until we could find the source of the drain. It worked flawlessly every time I needed it. I had always been scared to jump start a battery, but with this product, it is so easy I didn't have any worries. I could even throw it in the trunk and take it with me when I thought I might need it.
I have had it about 6 months now and I love it! The peace of mind is well worth it!
Great! May 28, 2008

I had another make and model power pack for a few years but it let me down
when I needed it. The Schumacher IPD - 1800 with it's 500 amps fired up my wife's car that was stuck needing a new battery with no problem.

I haven't actually had an opportunity to use this product yet, but I received it in a timely manner with clear instructions. It is now sitting in my trunk, ready to jump-start my car if need be. I have, on two occasions, needed a jump-start and a neighbor had one of these devices. It was very helpful, especially when my car was still parked in the garage and another car couldn't get close to the engine.

Works great, have used several times on everything from lawn tractor to seldom used van . . . Will not start van if battery is completely dead , but as long as there is a little charge left will start right up with unit . . .
