 Cobra Cjic 350 Powerpack August 8, 2010
D. Crist (PA)
This is a really nice unit for camping, make sure it's fully charged.
Used it to Jump Start my Generator on my RV, haven't tried it on anything bigger Yet.
Air Compressor seems to be the weakest link, takes forever to inflate a flat tire, and it
doesn't take much to overheat the Pump. Other than the air compressor, works pretty good.
 Can't wait to try out the jump start part August 2, 2010

Wow what a machine! Great features, great price, well known company for all different kinds of electronics. Work light, cigarette lighter port, usb port, 110 volt 400 watt inverter, 260psi compressor, and 900 amp cranking power! Need I say more...
This will allow me to run a fully portable winch setup for rolling inops and jump off dead cars typically found at auto auctions, air up flat tires at auction, ect...
Beware, only 900 watts August 2, 2010

I just received my new unit, (I purchased another one a few months ago). Beware, even though it says 1800 watts in the product description, this one is only 900 watts, which makes a lot of difference when using to jump start a large vehicle. My first unit, which is 1800(same model number), is absolutely fantastic, the best power pack I've ever had. This 900 watt unit is probably fine for smaller vehicles etc. This can not be returned because of the hazardous material(battery), but as always, Amazon customer service was impeccable, and they issued me a refund. Five stars to Amazon customer service.

I ordered this item and was told they were out of stock but I would be notified when they get more. Then I get an email from Amazon telling me the item is no longer available and my order is cancelled. Well, here it is, still available at a higher price.
Wears out quickly, mostly useless July 23, 2010

I purchased the unit partly to take around in the car, mostly for portable emergency power on long trips through wide open country, partly for portable convenience power when traveling by car, and partly for in-house emergency power (in case a storm knocks out the power.) It takes 24-30 hours plugged into a wall outlet to completely charge the unit from an "empty" state. (The charger is a separate power brick, so be sure to take it along if you're on a road trip and need to recharge.) At first, when not in use, it held that "full" charge for about two weeks. The auto power port (formerly known as a cigarette lighter), USB power power (good for charging an iPod or similar device), and 3-pronged 120 VAC outlet (for running just about any normal household device) all worked fine and could run various low to medium powered appliances for several hours from a full charge. The the built-in air compressor is handy for re-inflating tires that are low. Haven't actually tried the built-in jumper cables on a car with a dead battery yet. The built-in LED light is handy for using the device in the dark, but the unit's far too heavy to be used as a common flashlight.
After just two months (with no actual use beyond initial try-out), the unit can no longer hold a full charge for 24 hours when not in use. After charging for a full day, the power now tests "low" after only 12 hours of non-use, and "empty" after two days. The only way it can be used as emergency power is if it's kept continuously connected to charging power (120v wall outlet.) It's not much use packing it around in the car anymore; even if it was fully charged in the morning, by dusk it will be "low" and it won't power anything for long.
I consider this purchase a complete waste of my money.
