Schumacher IP-125 Instant Power Jump Starter With 12 Amp Hour Battery Review

I had a battery that only provided enough power to make a click when turning the key. I ordered this, charged it for a day and hooked it to my battery. Finding the proper grounding spot is critical. I was alerted to the fact that I found a good ground finally after the 2004 Nissan Frontier Pickup’s interior lights came on and the ding (key in ignition with open door) started blaring. The truck started right up.
I then later used it to start a battery in a 2000 Mustang. The battery was very drained and the car would not start, similar to the above scenario. Found the ground spot and the car started. After plugging the device back up, in less than an hour it was fully recharged.
I recommend a standard orange extension cord for this. The male end in the charger is recessed and you’ll need a cord with an inline female socket that will plug directly in.

Customer Reviews
Power cord – Anton Krylov – Brooklyn, NY United States
Overall, a reliable unit. I owned a different model with a charging cradle. This one comes without a power cord. Dear Schumacher people, why can’t you include a power cord? I have to charge it. I paid you money. So why do I have to run looking for a power cord?
Worked right out of the box – D. OBrien – St. Louis, MO USA
I conveniently broke down in front of a hardware store. I went in and found this product. I opened it up and pushed the battery status button. It showed yellow status (50% to 75%), so I figured it was worth a try.
Took it out to my car and started it instantly. The instructions say to charge it for 36 hours first so I thought it was outstanding that it would start the car with the residual charge from the factory.
Easy to use, and helped me a few times – T. Huynh – New York City
I purchased this product in 2007 and used it several times. It works although a few adjustments should be made.
a) don’t know when the product is out of product or needs a charge.
b) male power socket should allow for more room for female plugs
c) car charger is rather useless since it takes about 4-8 hrs to get a full charge.
But it.. but maintain it by charging it very month or three to make sure you have it ready to go. It is truly a life savor when you need it.
