Peak 900 AMP Jump Starter for $30.28 after rebate

jplee3 said:   Anyone know what the rebate limitations are? Is it one rebate per person per address, etc?

I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to add quantity two to cart, checkout&buy, and submit two rebates for the same receipt?

I believe it is two per household.

So is this 900 AMPs as the OP's title and Advance's says, or 450 AMPs? The model number on Advance's site is PKC0AZ, which on Amazon says it's 450 AMPs:

I guess the real question is if I can submit both rebates using the same receipt

I dont see it being a problem. You submit the rebate on line.. Just make sure you select 2 in the quantity.

Actually, I just realized it probably wouldn't make sense to try buying two cause the discount is still $30 off $80, unless there's a $60 off $160 floating around somewhere LOL

Or make 2 orders

I am wanting to but this for my dad for christmas! Will it jump a car or truck? Or is it just for small batteries like lawn mowers and such! Thanks

Now.....I did some in home comparisons between the newer model and the older one. I decided to take back 3 older models and swap them out for the newer digital ones.


Older model (non digital)
Pros
Better grip on handle
Better tabs to clip cables back onto unit when not in use
Cables are a little thicker

Cons
90 day warranty
USB port is only 500ma
Larger footprint
Power knob on side
Leds to show charge status

Newer model (digital)

Pros
1 year warranty
USB port is 1000 ma
Smaller footprint
All operating knobs on front face
Digital readout shows charge percentage

Cons
Plain non grippy handle
Cable holders round and not as neat
Cables a little thinner

The USB output, warranty, and digital display are what sold me on the newer model.

Nice work, but you left out Lethalness.
Given the better grip and heftier bulk I'd have to give Lethalness to the older model.
Also, should you ever need to follow-up a skull crush, the "little thicker" cables do offer superior strangulation capabilities.

I got the older model and it did not charge very long before the two green LEDs would be lit. So I only charged it for 9 hours, because I did not want to overcharge it. But I charged my cell phone a few minutes to see if the USB port was working, and then only one LED would light. So I am going to charge it another 27 hours to get the initial charging of 36 hours. I am charging it outside because it needs ventilation.

If you get the new one (with battery percentage led), you need an extension cord... any will do.

If you get the older model with no battery percentage led, it comes with an adapter.

I still have about 14 hours of initial charging to do and I hooked a voltmeter up to the jumper cables, it read 13.20 volts and running car is about 14.50 volts. So I will probably keep an eye on it that way since I got the older model.

Will this work with a power inverter? In other words is this like a regular car battery in that if I were camping and wanted to power small a/c appliances could I just hook the cables to the inverter?

They have a new coupon out for $30 off $75. No need to add fillers now. DOTW52 is the coupon code.

My airbed is AC power. When camping I use one of these batteries and inverter, it works fine. As other poster said, depending on how much power you are drawing, it may not last long.

EDIT: this battery probably has less than half the capacity of my Civic car battery so would drain quicker than car battery.

I mentioned that several times in the thread.. how did you miss it?

I have the newer model and finally got the time to deal with it. How do you guys get the reading out of it? I've been charging it for two days - the LED lights work, the USB has power but when I press and hold the test button, no reading comes up.
