It beeped and did nothing. 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 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. I plugged it in the 12V Acc port in the Highlander.
This unit has a known defect, it continually beeps while charging. Be on the safe side and do not buy this product. 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.
I purchased mine at a local hardware store. Fresh from the box, the device wouldn't charge. I had the same problem that others did. I called the manufacturer and they acknowledged the known problem. It is going back this weekend.This thing looks like a great idea for my wife - if it works. They tried to help me "reset" it but that didn't work.
My son left his car with me and the battery went dead. Guess this is good if my car needs a boost in cold weather - we shall see. I hoped I could use this to get it going, but it didn't happen. I'm not great at using jumper cables.
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.
