Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / January 2006Battery jump starter with built in air pump any good?
Thinking of buying one of those jump starter batteries. Anyone have one and find them useful? I see some units have built in lights and air compressor and wondering if these are handier? Or just best to get a power source only? >Thinking of buying one of those jump starter batteries. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >compressor and wondering if these are handier?

My father bought one for ~$200 with all the bells & whistles, and the pump only lasted a year with a dozen or so uses... Raymond J.

If yes.... what do you carry in your vehicle to air up tires? for my own personal use i bought a battery pack from WAL MART for $119 that has a light, an alternator tester, an air pump and a built in inverter that provides me with portable 115v AC current (handy as the pocket on a shirt!) and i love it! for my business use, i checked around and found a unit for around 200 dollars that provided more jump start amperage and a greater reserve , but more importantly, that i could purchase replacement battery units if they go bad . >for my own personal use i bought a battery pack from WAL MART for $119 >that has a light, an alternator tester, an air pump and a built in >inverter that provides me with portable 115v AC current (handy as the >pocket on a shirt!) and i love it! Have brand and model info on the above handy? >>for my own personal use i bought a battery pack from WAL MART for $119 >>that has a light, an alternator tester, an air pump and a built in >>inverter that provides me with portable 115v AC current (handy as the >>pocket on a shirt!) and i love it! > >Have brand and model info on the above handy? I go modular. 1 350 watt inverter 1 Truck-Air 12 volt DC air compressor 1 17.5 Ampere-hour Gel Cell with cables ( jump kit ) Works for me, and I also have one with all that built in, including emergency lights, 120 vac inverter, jacks for plug-in 12vdc equipment, booster cables already attached. My solution is "all of the above" Lg Lawrence Glickman <Lawrence_Glickman@comcast.net> wrote: >Works for me, and I also have one with all that built in, including >emergency lights, 120 vac inverter, jacks for plug-in 12vdc equipment, >booster cables already attached. what brand and model above? >Lawrence Glickman <Lawrence_Glickman@comcast.net> >wrote: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >what brand and model above?
