I get a Black & Decker jump starter for my Nissan sentra, I did not use it yet!
I don`t know if this is the best jump starter; I am not very knowlegeable about this!
Any advice will be appreciated.

Note: If it`s not good , I will return it!

Black-n-Decker makes a very good product for the most part. I wouldn't think this is something you will be using alot, so I think it will suit you just fine.

Is this one of the portable/hand held boost chargers? or 1 that you plug in and let charge overnight?

Either way, when all else fails. Read the owners manual

I am thinking to return it because I will not use it, only when my battery fail, and according to the instruction; I have to charge it every 60 days, ...it`s more work for me!

When my friend called AAA, the guy that came used a Black and Decker to jump his car. I don't know which model, but it worked pretty easily. It's supposed to be better than connecting to another car. You don't know when your battery fails, so you have to put it in the trunk and remember to charge when it needs it, but when you need it then you can easier jump your own car.

Well I've got one of these:
Black & Decker Power Tools

And it's never let me down and saved my back side on several occasions.

Looks like you just got a regular no frills jump box. Did you get the 300 or 450 amp model? Mine's a 450 amp and works great.

What's the scout modo?

"Always be prepared"

If you return it are you prepared for your battery to crap out on you in the dead of winter? Are you prepared for that time you forget and leave your lights on? Are you prepared for when your neighbor is stranded with a dead battery and needs help?
