    I've got one, works fine. My electrical problem means I need it every time. Manual says recharge after each use, but I don't always. I see no safety issue, although I don't leave it alone when recharging. I think its a diehard, I'd have to check to be
    sure, has lots of features, although the cigarette lighter outlets didn't work for me, I could have used it wrong, or the fact that I got it free from the trash after it being severely damaged and run over by giant tree-eating robots.

    Thank you for the reply. I hope I never need it, but it's there if I do. Much better than calling a service.

    Check out the capacitor boosters. No battery to worry about.

    Before they had these things I carried jumper cables. I hooked my end
    up and stood there holding the other ends. Someone usually stopped.
    One time a pretty girl did. That really surprised me.
