 - disappointedI made the mistake of letting the internal battery power run too low and so now I'm unable to charge it using the AC Adapter. I did read the manual before using it and did not see any warnings about "over using" the product. Only after having problems and then going to the mfr website was I able to find information on this problem. Right now I'm trying to revive the battery by charging it in my car, but so far (after 2 days of driving) I'm still not able to use the AC adapter. All in all, this is way too much trouble for something that I was going to use in emergency situations. Finally, as mentioned in other reviews, this is a very heavy item and it takes some strength to carry it around. Rating:  - Meets expectationsI use this powerpack to run my pop-up camper. It is much quieter than a generator and costs a lot less too. I plug my campers AC right into the powerpack just like I would if it were a generator. I have yet to plug something in that trips the over current circuit. This summer I will be able to determine how long the battery will last while camping. Until then, I am satisfied with the peak power performance. This powerpack can handle pretty high draw without tripping. Rating: - A good backupThis battery pack is no substitute for a generator, but is certainly a great backup. Rather than start up a generator to power a drill or a television, you can simply utilize this relatively light powerpack to run low power devices. We're definitely going to purchase a second one! The internal light is powerful, and the internal radio is convenient. It's only an extra benefit that it can be used to jumpstart a vehicle. We're going to pick up some solar trickle chargers and use this as a small solar system in the house. Rating: - Great Product!The only reason I did not give this product a 5 star rating is because it doesn't have over charge protection while using the 12 volt charger. So far I have used this product twice on my 350 cu in V8 and it has worked each time!
