Do I need to buy a cord to charge this jump starter?

No, you do not. It comes with a cord to plug into the wall socket for recharging.

nope this charge pack comes with the adapter and also a few compressor parts.

No. There are other chargers that provide a "jump start" option if the battery is dead. This CTEK charger will prevent a battery from becoming dead. And, unlike other "float chargers", you can leave this one attached ALL the time - it won't over charge. The CTEK is a "smart charger", perhaps one of the smartest ones a consumer like you and I can get.

this is battery charger for car , not a jump start charger, this require to have access to power outlet.

No. And reading the instructions makes it clear that you should use only the cord to charge the battery. It is recommended to charge the battery only when it is completely dead to extend the battery life. One reviewer confirmed this trimmer won't run with a dead battery, even when plugged in to the charger cord.

I just received mine. You get the JumpIt as shown, a 100-240v Wall Charger and an Instruction Manual.The product's box itself is great for storing your JumpIt until needed, or you can purchase a Waterproof or Drawstring Bag and a 12v Car Adapter here: http://www.mpowertech.com/accessories

In order to jump start--yes. There is no storage capacity in the charger itself. I bought it to run diagnostics on Optima Batteries.

You need to charge it first. By the way, it is a trickle charger. It will take a while to get up enough charge to start the car. It does not fully charge.

No. The charger is only necessary if you pound your stereo hard at idle or with the car turned off. Once you take the battery below 12.6-12.8 static voltage from usage then it will need charging. If your plan is to put it up front as your starter battery then your completely fine since your alt charge will be enough to keep topping it off.

Yes it comes with a cord to charge it. You cannot run the trimmer from the power cord only though. Only from the battery once it's charged :(

No, I have to plug it into my car lighter for it to work during trips, It did not come with a charger.

I don't think anything that would have a plug on it would be heavy enough wire to jump a dead battery. If you meant to charge the battery so it will start (not have to hook it up and jump immediately without allowing other dead battery to charge) you might find one with two male ends or you could easily make one by cutting two inexpensive ones wires and making sure you align the positive wire (the one going to the middle pin on the male plug) to be positive. Keep in mind if you accidentally brush anything grounded in the care with that protruding point it could spart or short the fuse that often is in the male end or your fuse panel that is connected to your access point in either vehicle. Plugging it in like that would also require both power points in both vehicles to be on-so if it is not live when the key is not switched on it won't charge. The wires in these alligator clips is unusually heavy and would support higher voltage draw you might get with a totally dead battery on the other end. But if your wires in the vehicle are not sized that heavy you could risk fire or blow the fuse. A dead battery will draw heavily when first attached, especially if you activate the starter to try to start it, it could melt your wires or blow the fuse then. Good luck-

I would not use more than 1 1//2 or 2 amp charge. Most chargers have a switch for this. Jump starting is probably not a good idea, although I have never done it.

No you need to purchase the cord separately. It is only about another $20 though. I purchased it just in case I needed it. Glad I did!

No, that is a misprint or something of the sort, it is not at all suited to jump start a dead battery. However, if you were to leave it hooked up to a (nearly but not entirely) dead battery for 10 minutes, that would usually be enough to get the car started unless the battery itself is not just drained but also worn out or damaged/defective/etc, or unless it is very cold outside.

No. You will need a small charge controller. There are some cheap effective ones here on Amazon that I have used and work fine though... You're looking at about $20 extra for the charge controller

Mine came with a car charger. You might consider a Power all charger. They sell it here at amazon. Starts your car, charges Laptops, cell phones etc. Better option.

The other answer is not correct. I've bought this kit 3 times and it has always come with the jump start.
