Duracell DPP-300EP It saved me!

I bought this almost a year ago, but never actually used it until a few days ago. I came out from work and my car battery was dead. It took me about 10 minutes to get it out, read the instructions and hook it up and my car immediately started. My car battery was bad so my car wouldnt start again the next morning and I couldnt use it again as it takes 48 hours to charge but at least it had gotten me home. It also comes with the air compresser to blow up tires (which I havent used yet) and several regular plugs and cigarette adapter so you could, for example, charge a cell phone if you were out camping. It also has a great little flashlight on it that is very bright. The only downside, besides the amount of time to charge it, would be that the switch is on the outside and not covered up. I was putting a bag into my trunk one day and accidentaly hit the switch and turned it on, not realizing. The next day, or could have been several days later, the alarm was going off on it telling me to charge it. Another feature which is great becaue the alarm is pretty loud and at least I knew then I needed to charge it. It would be nice if there was a plastic cover over the switch so you couldnt accidentaly turn it on. I still gave it 5 stars though because of all the features for the price and how well it worked when I needed it. I bought this for my car but made sure to get the 600 for my husbands Ford Expedition. Great gift for family!!
