does this product have to be plugged in the wall at all times in order to jump start?

In order to jump start--yes. There is no storage capacity in the charger itself. I bought it to run diagnostics on Optima Batteries.
2004735
No starting ability. Not a battery and doesn't put out enough juice to start.

Please forgive my ignorance Arthur. I purchased this to trickle charge my Optima Batteries. I am not sure if you can jump start, but you would need to have it plugged in. There is no battery in the unit. Very light.

This piece of equipment has no internal power source so it requires the wall plug. There are self contained battery jumpers on the market which is what you want, however they don't recharge batteries on their own. Different needs, different equipment.

No. This unit is powered by a USB connection to a device (computer, etc.), not from a wall outlet.

Yes it does plug in to wall. I have never tried with just batteries though. This piece is not user friendly and I would never purchase again

Mine did. It just plugged into the wall. The unit is quite flimsy however. If I had it to do again, I would probably go a different direction.

yes, it does need to be plugged in. and there is an off and on switch too on the device to save on the electric bill

Yes. As long as you are jump starting it with a battery in your car and near a power outlet to plug this in.

No. This supplies power on sensing motion, as if being just plugged in, but the natural state of a touch lamp after being plugged in is "off". You need a light that will come on when plugged in, without any secondary trigger requirements. The hard-wired wall motion switches are the same way.

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

No, it comes with bare end wire, which must be connected to your wall box. You can install a male plug to energize it from a standard wall plug.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

You dont need to plug in the wall.... just move the crank and work. Working with dinamo technology.

Hi, No you wire it into your wall outlet and turn it on with a wall switch. Hope that helps.
729208
No it is not a plug in. It has to be hard wired on the wall and turns off and on with a light switch

To my knowledge no; this particular model requires the cord to be plugged in in-order to function.
