The Energizer 84020 All-In-One Jump Starter is a powerful, versatile, attractive looking product. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself stranded with a flat tire or your vehicle won’t start because the battery is flat you would like to be able to open the boot and reach for the Energizer 84020. It’s called the All-In-One as it is more than just a jump starter – you’ve an air compressor, light, and backup power supply.
Jump starting a vehicle can be daunting for anyone who hasn’t had to perform the task before and some jump starters are not particularly user friendly. The Energizer 84020 is very straight forward to operate even for the totally inexperienced user. It really is as easy as 1, 2, 3 – the unit has the 3 steps numbered on it and you take them in order and follow the simple steps and the jobs done. It’s as simple to use a jump starter as we’ve seen.
The air compressor is a nice addition to the product and something any vehicle owner can appreciate the value of. It may not be the most powerful compressor but for the most part you’ll be using this for topping up the tires and for this purpose the 84020 is quite sufficient. This facility will also be used for inflating bicycle tires, air beds, and water inflatables.
The unit also incorporates handy features like the flex-neck work light stored in the unit’s handle which you can direct to illuminate whatever you wish; two 12-volt DC cigarette sockets for powering 12V accessories; access to three-pronged AC power by way of the built-in 200 watt, DC/AC power inverter.
