It is everything as advertised. It did take a charge. Since I have not had the need to use it yet, I can only go on what the person who recommended it to me said. They had used theirs several times and it worked really well. They convinced me it was a good investment.
I work on lawn tractors. Seems like one main problem is s dead battery. This will start them instantly. I also started a v8 F150 that was so dead it would not light the dash lights or even click. Seems to have plenty of power. Being able to charge everything else is a plus.
Although I have not needed to use this as yet, with the cold temps here, it is good to have. No need to wait 60+ minutes for a tow truck now if my battery dies.
