There are times when an alternative power source is called for, not just to jump-start your vehicle but to power appliances in an area where there is no available outlet. The Wagan Power Dome 400-watt power source provides more than enough power to restart your car and run lights and power tools in emergency situations. Jump-Start Your Car and Power Small Appliances
The Power Dome features 900 peak cranking amps, and connects to your vehicle battery via industrial grade number 6 cables and heavy-duty booster clamps. There are 2 AC outlets and 2 DC outlets for running smaller appliances with overload protection and easy-to-read bi-color LED indicator lights to inform you of power status and charge levels. 
900 peak cranking amps makes the Wagan Power Dome an important addition to your camping or emergency supplies. | 
The unit comes with 2 AC and 2 DC outlets. | 
An air compressor allows you to inflate tires, sports gear, and more. | Portable and Powerful
A powerful 18 amp-hour battery is at the heart of this portable power system. It pumps out 600 cranking amps to jump-start a car, truck, or boat and provides up to 400 watts of 110-volt house current to run TVs, laptops, stereos, cell phones, and more. It also has two lighter sockets to power your 12-volt accessories away from the car. The Power Dome can jump start most 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines and will operate a wide range of DC-powered products. Ideal for power emergencies, the Power Dome is a perfect compact power source that goes where you do. Runs Small Appliances
The Power Dome also has 2 AC and 2 DC to run items like hand-held games, laptops, and lamps if there's no household outlet nearby. For convenience and safety, the product has a built-in 5-LED light for extra illumination. With a run time of more than 15 hours, the light is useful during an extended power outage, a weekend camping trip, or when jump-starting a car at night. Built-in Air Compressor
The built-in 260 psi air compressor inflates tires or sports equipment with ease. The high-powered motor and high-pressure air hose inflates a 16-inch tire in about 6 minutes. Recharges Anywhere

 JUNK!!! March 11, 2010
R. Olsen
I had to send this back three times, at my own expense of course. It will not hold a charge and never has. JUNK, JUNK, JUNK. I bought a cheap one from Harbor Freight and it has never failed.
 packaging March 8, 2010
Tommie Jane Lane
Inside packaging was severely damaged, and the prongs on the AC charger were bent. My suggestion is to use high density flexible foam packaging to protect this valuable HEAVY ITEM.

Low Quality February 18, 2010

I own a previous version of this jump starter. My was made by UST and not Wagan. The exterior is identical to my unit so I assume it is made by the same manufacturer. I normally recharge it every two months even if I have not used it to maintain a full charge for when I need to jump start a car. I forgot to charge it for about 5 months and the unit is completely dead. I have try to charge it but when you press the battery status button, you can see the voltage just keep dropping. I have try to recharge it several times and I think the battery is completely dead. The charger adapter is also dead. I measure the output voltage and it measures a little over 3 volts. I take special care of my adapters so I do not damage the wires. This unit was only used several times to add air to several tires. It has not been used to jump start. Overall very bad quality.
I also have a Vector unit which is now Black and Decker and it also was not charged for 5 months. This unit still had two red lights which indicate it was in good condition. I recharge it for several hours and it came back with full power. I also own Jump and Carry JNC660 jump starter. This is a professional unit with 1700 peak amps. It can hold a charge for months and still show plenty of power. This unit is the best but expensive ($130). This unit can jump start big engines and completely dead batteries.
One other general comment for those people out there assessing which jump starter to buy. These lower cost, lower peak amp starters are only good for cars that has a weak battery (i.e. as engine is slow to crank over). If your battery is dead where the engine cannot even slowly crank over, these starter will not have enough power to start your car so do not blame the jump starter as low quality. I see such comments in other reviews. For a completely dead battery, you need a more powerful jump starter such as JNC660. I have the same problem with my Vector starter which has only 300 peak amps. It also would not start a completely dead battery. That was the reason I bought the JNC660 and carry it in which ever car we own that has the oldest battery. I need to buy another jump starter (I keep one in each car) and am thinking of buying JNC300XL which claims to have 900 peak amp and is about half the price of JNC660. The reviews seem very good and is made by the same company.
Battery Reliability is the biggest Issue! January 29, 2010
Ramin B. Ghadimi (Austin, TX USA)
My unit lasted less than 2 years. I successfully used it to jump start a few times and used the Air Compressor to top off tires. However, after sitting idle indoors for several months, it failed to hold a charge. The instructions warned me not to overcharge the battery, so I did not periodically recharge the idle battery. This probably led to battery sulfation, a common problem with idle Lead-Acid batteries. My experience with Lead-Acid batteries leads me to believe that the battery can be kept healthy only be recharging the battery about once a month. With a 16V DC Power Supply, I was able to recover about 1/3rd of the 18Ahr Capacity which supports my theory that the battery became sulfated. (I do not recommend trying to desulfate the battery because this involved about a dozen 2hr 15.5-16 V Charge cycles while monitoring the battery temperature).
My recommendations for this, and all other battery-based Jump Starters is:
1. Recharge the battery at least 1x per month at room temperature. Use a 'smart charger' to prevent overcharging.
2. Don't deep discharge the battery. This will dramatically reduce the life of this type of battery.
It is possible to replace the internal 18Ahr battery; however a repacement unit costs between $42 and $75 (B B Battery: VRLA Rechargeable Battery BP17-12).
