Jump starts your battery without needing another car

The beauty of this product is that it allows you to jump a weak battery without needing another car. Suppose you're in an empty parking lot and there's no help nearby. Simply plug your SelfCharge Auto Jumper into your car's cigarette lighter and within 10 minutes, you'll be ready to go.

Auto Jumper jumpstarts your car without cables.
Jump start a weak battery in 10 minutes.

No need for jumper cables or to go under the hood

Because all of the charging of your battery is taking place through your car's cigarette adapter, you don't need to hook up cables under your hood. You also don't need another vehicle (and good samaritan) to help you out.

You won't need jumper cables with the SelfCharge Auto Jumper
You'll never need jumper cables again with the SelfCharge Auto Jumper.

Doubles as a portable back-up power supply

The SelfCharge Auto Jumper is essentially a large battery. Charge it up using the included AC adapter (or by plugging it into your car's cigarette lighter when the car is running) and then keep it in your trunk in case of an emergency.

The included 12V DC input allows you to use your SelfCharge Auto Jumper to recharge your cell phone or PDA.

You can even use the SelfCharge Auto Jumper to charge a cell phone, PDA or other device using the 12V cigarette input.

Save your car's radio, clock, and computer memory when changing a battery

Plug the SelfCharge Auto Jumper into your car's cigarette adapter while you're changing a dead battery and preserve all of your car's settings.

It's annoying to reset all of your favorite radio stations and clock (if you can even figure out how to set it!). Avoid this minor frustration (as well as the major frustration of a car that won't start) with the SelfCharge Auto Jumper.

I have a burning question about this product!

Is there something you need to know about this product that we've omitted?

Send us an anonymous question and we promise to answer it within 1 business day. The answer will be displayed below.

A few customer questions we've answered

Q: If you have a "dead" battery how are you supposed to charge the "charger" to jump your car, without a "good" samaritan?
A: When you first receive the SelfCharge Auto Jumper, charge its battery in your home. Then, transfer it to your car and keep it there in the event your car battery dies. If you were to use the SelfCharge Auto Jumper to recharge a cell phone, for instance, you could recharge your SelfCharge Auto Jumper using the cigarette lighter socket in your car while your car is running. It's a very versatile product.

Q: After initially charging the SelfCharge Jumper, how long does it keep its charge? Would it be still fully charged in 6 mo? 1yr? 2yr?
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper will hold its charge for 3 to 6 months. The charge will gradually decrease over time, but every few months you can plug it in to recharge so that it is always ready should you need it.

Q: What's the maximum amount of time it takes to charge the unit plugged into the cigarette lighter adapter?
A: It would take 30-60 minutes to charge the SelfCharge Auto Jumper through a cigarette lighter. This should only be attempted while the car is actually on, as you don't want to drain the battery unnecessarily.

Q: Jump-starting a "weak" battery is all well and good. But will your product still work when the car's battery has gone completely, stone-cold dead?
A: While the manufacturer states that the SelfCharge Auto Jumper can charge a dead battery, we suspect that there's a "degree of deadness" at which this charger will no longer be able to restart your car (where regular jumper cables may still be able to do the trick). The beauty of the SelfCharge Auto Jumper lies in the fact that it will work in most situations, it doesn't require outside assistance, and it can also charge your cell phone and other small devices.

Q: Hello, did you say it takes 30 to 60 minutes for the battery to charge? Thank you Merci ! lauryv@3web.net
A: Yes. The SelfCharge Auto Jumper is not as powerful as traditional jumper cables hooked to another vehicle, so it takes a bit longer to work. Of course, if you should happen to find yourself stranded with a drained battery, 30-60 minutes may be more appealing than soliciting questionable strangers for a jump or taking a long walk for help.

Q: Will this work on Hybrid technology cars?
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper will also work with hybrid cars as long as it is plugged into a cigarette lighter with at least 12 volts.

Q: is this only for US Cars or will it work in cars in Europe? Thanks!
A: As long as your car has a 12 volt outlet, the SelfCharge Auto Jumper will work no matter where the car was made.

Q: I have a car that "switches off" it's power ports and cigarette lighter if the engine is off. Is there a way to still use this?
A: If your car turns off your power ports and cigarette lighter when the car is off, there is not a way for the SelfCharge Auto Jumper to bypass that, so it would not work in your car. If your car functions like this, we recommend that you purchase a Power Dome EX, which can also jumpstart a dead battery.

Q: I would like to know if this product is good to use on just cars or would it work on big trucks with bigger engines? Also, what if the temperature is really cold outside. Will the charger hold?
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper was made specifically for cars and SUVs. It is not meant to be used for larger trucks. Cold temperatures will not have an effect on the charger.

Q: You note that this won't work on a car that switches off its power ports when the car's off. Will this work if those power ports are switched on when the key is turned to the Accessory position?
A: According to the manufacturer, the SelfCharge Auto Jumper will work if the power ports are on when the key is in the accessory position.

Q: After it is fully charged how many weeks or months can elapse for the battery to be useable to charge a car battery
A: The charge will deplete over time, which is why it is suggested to top-off / re-charge the SelfCharge Auto Jumper every several months.

Q: how often can you use this product/how many times can you charge/recharge your battery?
A: According to the manufacturer, the SelfCharge Auto Jumper can be used up to 200 times.

Q: do it really work?
A: Yes. The SelfCharge Auto Jumper is basically a large rechargeable battery. As long as it has a charge, plugging it into your cigarette lighter will transfer that charge to your car's battery.

Q: Can this unit charge a Volkswagen station wagon or is this only for small cars?
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper is designed to work with both cars, SUVS, and station wagons.

Q: How much does it weigh? Regards
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper weighs about 2 pounds.

Q: Does this really work is my question...I thought the cigarate lighter drained the battery not the other way of around.
A: Yes, it really works. Your cigarette lighter can do both.

Q: What is the amp load of the starter unit? Is there a way to know when the unit needs to be re-charged? I have a trans Am with the High Torque starter. Will this unit work on that? Thanks. DP
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper uses 5 amps. The unit should be charged 12-24 hours when you first receive it. It should be re-charged after it has been used or after 6 months of non-use. There is not an indicator on the unit that tells you when to re-charge. According to the manufacturer, the torque should not affect the SelfCharge Auto Jumper, as torque has more to do with mechanics than with the electrical system. The SelfCharge Auto Jumper will work with small and medium size car batteries.

Q: Please explain how the auto jumper works, and how it charges from inside the car through the cigarette lighter socket. Also, is there any warnings about the use of your product?
A: The SelfCharge Auto Jumper has a 5 Amp (14.5 volts), sealed-alkaline battery with the power you need to restart your car. Once the car battery has been jumped and fully charged, the SelfCharge Auto Jumper will begin to recharge itself automatically as you drive. There are no usage warnings for this product.
