The device took a really long time (20+ hours) to charge for the first time. I have only used it 4 or 5 times in the last year, and generally had to charge it before and then charged afterwards hoping that it would be ready the next time I needed it. I didn't use it for about two months and tried to charge it and it shows the charged and charging light on and it will not hold a charge.

Unless you plan on scheduling when your car is going to need a jump or can wait for endless charge times every time your battery goes dead I would advise to stay away from this product.

This is a great jump starter. However, it seems to take forever to attain a full charge (couple of days!). My first experience with these devices. Tried it new out of box and got nothing. After a day nothing. But after a couple of days SUCCESS in getting my old Bobcat skid steer loader with a bad battery and corroded leads to actually start. Now I am a believer!

I don't understand why all the hate for this nice battery. First of all, it clearly says that it requires 36 hours to charge it the first time. So ignore that complaint when reading the reviews.

This is a 18 AH sealed lead-acid battery. It will discharge over time. The instructions say to charge it every three months. It also needs to be charged after every use. Always keep the battery fully charged.

I went on a trip and used this three times to start my car last weekend. I did not charge it between uses, either. I used it again to start my kid's car last night. I am very happy with this product.

Want Schumacher IP-1825FL Instant Power with Adjustable Work Light Discount?

I bought this item last night. I charged it (17 hours) until the light turned green. We followed the instructions and nothing happened except for some sparks when I put the black terminal on to a metal part. I am unsure if we need to turn the jumper on. There is a red power button and a reset button that is not even explained in the manual. I will be getting a refund for this product.
