What to look for
While buying a jump starter, the only main criteria should be: how much power does it pack? Normal jump starters available in the market don’t have enough power to jump start a 6 or 8 cylinder car. It might power your mobile, iPod, and radio, but what use it is if it can’t restart your car? The iPod and radio are not emergency appliances. The dead car battery can lead to a lot of inconvenience, so turn a deaf ear to the products that promise to do a lot more with your jump starter.
Go in for the Jump-N-Carry JNC660 1700 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter simply because it is a no fuss appliance that promises to deliver. With 1700 ampere power, you can be rest assured that your car battery will get the initial start it requires.
A word of caution
If you have already used some other jump starter and have recently started using this one or if you are a novice at operating such appliances, here are some things you must keep in mind:
Be very careful when attaching the jumper cables. It is important that you connect the correct terminals. Join the positive end of the jump starter to the positive end of the car battery. If the terminals are not connected to the correct terminals, sparks might fly. This can do damage to both the batteries. In many other jump starters, there is a built-in alarm or a reverse hook up warning alarm to warn you in case the terminals are attached incorrectly.
When you recharge the Jump-N-Carry jump starter, you can’t simply leave it to recharge and go off for a few days. There is no system that will prevent the battery from getting overcharged. You have to keep an eye on the battery pack while it is getting recharged.
There is no system that removes power from the cables while you are setting it up, so while joining the terminals, you have to be careful not to get electrocuted yourself.
Some jump starters have digital displays that keep you informed about the state of the battery and charge of the booster box. There is a voltmeter in the front panel, and you have to be able to read it correctly.
What are the uses of Jump-N-Carry JNC660 1700 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter?
The Jump-N-Carry JNC660 1700 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter is a professional grade item and is used by many tow truck professionals. You can find them in garages or car showrooms that require the heavy duty stuff. It is not meant for novices, as they might not be able to handle it properly. It is not dummy proof, so if all you know about a car is how to fill the gas, then it’s time you get some technical knowledge.
The unit has terrific charge. Even if you keep it for about 2 months without recharging, it still does not get drained. This is unlike the other jump starters available in the market that get drained within a month if not recharged. Honestly speaking, how many of us have the time and inclination to keep recharging the jump starter on a regular basis? I’d personally like a jump starter that can help me in my hour of need and not be drained due to lack of use.

Customer reviews
Most consumers have liked the Jump-N-Carry JNC660 1700 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter. It is unlike the other fancy jump starters available in the market. It is a sturdy gadget which promises to do its job. Most consumers have appreciated the fact that it does not profess to have other features such as AM/FM radio, digital clock, the ability to run a TV for 3 hours, and so on and so forth.
People want a jump starter to start a flat battery. If it does that effectively, then it is immaterial if it has other features or not, and if it is unable to jump start a car, then all other features are absolutely useless.
However, the device can be ‘topped up’ by adding a light to the pack. That will be extremely useful if you have to charge your battery at night.
