Amazon.com Product Description
Being stranded by the side of the road with a drained car battery can cause anyone to panic, especially if you don't have jumper cables. But you can give your car battery a boost from inside the comfort of your car with Black & Decker's Simple Start Battery Booster Car Starter. The Simple Start puts you back on the road quickly--just plug, charge, and go. No need for jumper cables or waiting for help to arrive. Simply insert the Simple Start's DC adapter into any of the car's 12-volt DC or cigarette lighter outlets and wait several minutes. A boost indicator LED and audible beep lets you know when your battery is charged and ready to start. 
Instead of jumper cables, plug the Simple Start into your cigarette lighter and start your car in minutes. View larger. | 
Charges cell phones or laptop computers. | 
Small enough to fit in your glove box. | No More Jumper Cables
With the Simple Start there is no more worrying about lifting the hood and connecting jumper cables to the wrong part of your car battery, creating sparks and potentially damaging your vehicle. Whether you're in the rain, on an empty street on a dark night, or alone in an unfamiliar place, you no longer need to track someone down to jump-start your car. With the Black & Decker BB7B within reach, you'll never have to get under the hood to restart your car. Charges More than Your Battery
The Simple Start offers a powerful, built-in LED light for emergency use and a 12-volt DC port for charging cell phones or anything with a car charger outlet, including laptop computers. Easy to Store
The compact design of the BB7B allows for storage inside most glove compartments, toolboxes, car trunks, or even under the seat. Rechargeable
The Simple Start recharges easily from any household AC outlet or DC automobile cigarette-plug style outlet, so that it will be ready the next time you need it.

 Does not work on Honda Accord September 2, 2008

Even with key in the accessory position, this fully-charged device continuously "beeped" in booster-mode no matter how much I tried twisting the adapter plug into the DC outlet on a Honda Accord.
Bottom line: It was unable to recharge the car's battery.

I bought this for two reasons. First was to jump-start vehicles, second was to provide power for a fan when we go camping. It fails at both tasks. I t would not jump the 3 vehicles i have tried it on. (worthless). Two of the vehicles were SUV's the other was a e-150 cargo van. Maybe it works better on compact cars.....
Took it with us camping and hooked it up to supply power to a small fan. Worked for 15 seconds and then the fan stopped and has never worked again. It was a small 4' 120v ac van.
I am not impressed and will never try to hook any AC devices to it ever again.

I bought one of these during the winter of '06-07. It stopped working shortly after I bought it (would not charge). I called Black & Decker and they sent me a replacement. Ditto -- did not work, and failed to work exactly the same way as the first. Having only so much storage space in my house for unusable lead batteries, I did not request a third, but instead got new car batteries for both cars, and a good set of jumper cables for each -- which I never needed to use during the much more severe winter of '07-'08.
Does not work August 17, 2008
2005 Honda Pilot battery drained. Could not jump start with another vehicle. Brought the B&D battery booster at Target. Charged battery booster fully as instructed. Could not get it to work properly (tried the ignition key in all the positions). Aslo got the Duracell Instant Jumpstart System. Duracell worked like a charm.
Doesn't work - won't charge / won't boost August 16, 2008

I should have listened to so many of the reviews in here. I have the same problems.
The product does not work. I cannot charge the device at all. I have carefully followed the included instructions, but the device instantly changes the charging light to "steady green" (indicating full charge) and the device just beeps constantly when I attempt to charge it. However, the device is not fully charged (once I unplug the charging adapter, the flashlight wont even work!), and it will not boost my car (again, it just beeps constantly if I try).
