I charged the unit fully when it arrived. It did become slightly warm to the touch, but it did not get hot at all.When my 2007 Honda CRV's car battery was sufficiently discharged to a level when the car would not start, I followed the instructions on the unit's 12V cable tag.You have to remember to turn the ignition key, maybe to the "1st click" position. Some cars, like the CRV, does not provide power to the 12-volt socket, until the key is at the "1st click" position. Only then will there be a connection from the 12-volt socket, directly into the car battery that you want to boost.Remember also to switch-off all other car appliances like radios, lights, ventilation fans, etc. This would allow the booster to supply as much of its energy, into your car battery, and not have the booster's energy wasted on powering your car's appliances.After about 15 minutes being plugged-in and attached to my vehicle's 12V outlet, the booster's display screen indicated that I should now attempt starting-up the car. I tried it and it started-up successfully!The next month, my 2001 Volvo V70 station wagon's car battery was now sufficiently discharged that it would not start the engine.This time the unit took the maximum 30 minutes to boost the Volvo's battery. I guess the Volvo has a larger but older battery as compared to the CRV. But the engine was able to start-up too.I am no expert on car batteries and boosting, but it seems to me that this unit is not half bad!UPDATE (July 22, 2013) :The performance of the unit is still good.Tested again on my Honda CRV.After the usual running-down of the car battery, I proceeded to boost. This time I tried something different. Before the unit indicated that I could start, I tried to start the car. It was able to start!However, this was just an experiment. In a real world situation, I would strongly advise that you start-up your vehicle, ONLY AFTER the unit indicates for you to do so.It is also recommended to give the Stanlet Battery Booster, a slight top-up charge, every month or so. I noticed a slight drop of 1 bar, on the 4-bar battery strength indicater of the unit, after storing for about 2 to 3 months.

My unit didn't work right out of the box. When I called tech support to make sure I was doing everything right, I was greeted by a very rude operator who tried to tell me the unit had been discontinued for a number of years and was out of warranty. When I confronted him with the copyright on the manual being just 1 year old, I was told that I should deal with the retailer. I had higher expectations of Stanley and they will be getting a letter from me. This company they have sold their name to (so has Black & Decker and another big name I forget) is destroying their reputation.Save your money and your frustration.

These don't work. The idea is neat, it charged and behaved as described in the manual so it was working, but it was completely unable to start the Toyota, beginning with a fully charged SimpleStart and letting it charge until it said it was ready. The manual also says it should only be stored between 5C and 20C (so that's 40F to 68F). Forget about thinking you can keep this in the car, it will not rescue you.
