Product Description
Wagan SelfCharge Auto Jumper In-Car Jumpstarter allows to jump start the vehicle from inside the safety and warmth of your car without jumper cables. The powerful sealed alkaline battery has 5 amps and 14.5 volts of power. It is simply plugged into the cigarette lighter and in 10 minutes the vehicle is ready to go. The jumper is unaffected by extreme weather conditions. It recharges from the car battery through the cigarette lighter while driving for 30 minutes to 120 minutes.
Wagan EA2045: Well my use for this product is a bit differenct for what it is “originally” intended for, but it does what it says. I am using it to power a 4 x 40 watt Car Stereo & 2 speakers of which I’ve installed in a corn hole game giving me “portable” music as the game is played.
The Wagan EA2045 provides about 4 hours worth of “playing time” before needs recharging…which is plenty. The Cigarette lighter input plug on the Wagan EA2045 works great for this application. I tried to add a picture to this review showing the install, but AMAZON doesn’t offer that as an “option”, only video.

IN AN EMERGENCY IT’S WORTH HAVING (DESPITE ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS). IT TAKES AT LEAST A HALF AN HOUR TO WORK. I WASN’T EXPECTING IT TO WORK AT ALL AND IF YOU LEAVE YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON TOO LONG YOUR BATTERY MIGHT BE TOO DRAINED FOR THIS TO WORK, BUT FOR LIGHT CHARGING THIS MIGHT JUST DO THE TRICK. MY BATTERY WAS AT ABOUT 11 VOLTS BECAUSE I WAS USING THE AUX. POWER LONGER THAN I SHOULD HAVE WITH THE ENGINE OFF (MY BATTERY IS KIND OF WEAK ANYWAY). I DIDN’T HAVE TO CALL AAA OR GET SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A JUMP START (I DID HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR FOR THE UNIT TO WORK). THIS UNIT IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR JUMPER CABLES OR TRIPLE A, BUT IF YOU HAVE THE TIME AND YOUR BATTERY ISN’T TOO DRAINED, THIS UNIT CAN HELP. FOR THE PRICE ITS WORTH CARRYING AROUND.

The jumpstarter did fine on keeping the radio’s memory and clock going; but would not work on a battery completely drained.

Great concept, but this little piece of junk couldn’t jump start a child’s electric toy car (if it had a cigarette lighter). It simply doesn’t hold enough of a charge, and what charge it does have takes forever to transfer through your cigarette lighter to your battery. Great concept, but it’s a worthless product. Would love to find one that you can use from insider your car that isn’t too big and bulky, but actually gets the job done.

This does not work at all. I WISH I’d read these reviews before buying the thing — and being stuck with a dead battery.
