Amazon.com Product Description:
The Black & Decker Electromate 400 Portable Power Station/Jump-Starter/Compressor has 450 instant amps to start your car in the unlikely event that your battery goes dead. You can never count on finding someone to jump-start your car, even if you have a set of jumper cables. The Power Station/Jump-Starter/Compressor will alleviate this problem by giving you the power you need to do it yourself.

Black & Decker's Electromate 400 is a powerful and compact tool to restart your vehicle. View larger.

The Electromate 400 comes equipped with an air compressor.

It also has two 120-volt AC outlets for powering small appliances.

Ideal for Roadside Emergencies
When your car loses power, the Electromate 400 has enough power to both jump-start your vehicle and run emergency appliances such as portable lights, radios, cell phones, and small tools. The Electromate 400 is also ideal for non-emergency situations like tailgating parties, camping, power outages, and any other situation where no wall outlet is available. The two built-in 120-volt AC outlets allow more than one appliance to be operated at once.

Inflates Tires, Sports Equipment, and More
There's also a built-in air compressor that allows you to inflate bicycle tires, sports equipment, and pool toys, but this compressor is also powerful enough to pump up the tires on your vehicle.

Other Features
The Electromate 400 also comes equipped with a built-in, ultra-bright LED work light for emergency roadside assistance and an exclusive, built-in 120-volt AC charger that plugs into any household outlet. Other features include a keyless on/off power safety switch, reverse hook-up warning alarm in case the jump-start cables are attached to the wrong terminals, vehicle alternator voltage check, and LED battery status indicator.

Rechargeable
This unit recharges easily from any household AC outlet or DC automobile cigarette-plug style outlet, so that it will be ready the next time you need it.

Warranty
Black & Decker offers a full 2-year warranty.


What's in the box
The Electromate 400 unit, a 12 volt charger, heavy-duty cables and clamps, and an adapter nozzle set.




Rating: - Great for jump starting and charging cell phones
This is a great backup to jump start my cars, charge cell phones, and charge Nintendo DS systems. I have successfully jumped my 8 cylinder truck (small block) and the wife's six cylinder minivan numerous times. The vehicles start immediately without waiting for the car battery to charge.

I have jumped three cars on one charge without issue. Probably could have done more, but a testing lab I'm not.

This unit is clean and easy enough for the wife to rescue a friend who's ... Read More

Rating: - Nice...
Bought this from Home Depot for $99, plan on using it camping. I inflated two aero beds, a football and let a small fan run continously for 6 hours until it died. Great little unit however just a little heavy for a long hike in camp spot.

Rating: - Short Battery Life
I received this model as a gift for Christmas 07. It did in fact save me one morning from a dead battery. That was the first and only time I used it for that purpose. The next time I tried using it, the battery was totally dead.. So dead it wouldn't power the LED lights on the front. It sat in the garage plugged in the whole time. Whether this was a bad idea or not, I don't know.

The compressor worked decently for topping off tires. I just (today) purchased a replacement internal battery ... Read More

Rating: - Super handy, never let us down
We recieved this for x-mas '07. We use it all the time. We have a boat and have loaned it out to other boat owners at the lake many many times to jump start their boat. We've used it on a truck twice when we left the interior light on all night. We also use it to air up bike tires. During bad weather (we live in OK) we have used it to power our cable and tv during storms when they knocked out the power to the rest of the house (tornado season). Very useful. I would recommend everyone have one of these. ... Read More
