Does this charger double as a Jump Starter without been connected to an AC power source also?

No. There is no built-in storage battery; so it must be connected to AC power.
1958606
No. In order to do that it would have to contain a 12volt battery, which it does not.

The simplest way to use this anywhere (while camping or in the home) may be to get a "Jump starter" device that is pretty much a small 12V battery in a housing with jumper cables, a lighter outlet, and more. There are several brands of those available, but they are all pretty much the same thing (do a search for jump starter here on Amazon). This needs over 10 amps power to start it and ~6 to run, so a car battery charger would be the only thing close enough to a "power supply" that plugs into a house outlet that could run it. I don't think running a charger without a battery is a good idea, so that's why I suggest the "jump start" battery.

No, mine seems to hold a full charge forever. I actually didnt buy this to start a car. But today I went to start my pickup and the battery was dead. I hauled out the jump starter and was amazed at how well it spun over truck. I dont ever leave plugged in, once its charged I just leave on the bench where its warm.

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.

I don't know. I thought this was a piece of junk and ended up throwing it in a dumpster. You may need to do the same. If you want a nice jump starter, I recommend a "Jump and Carry" from JNC. I have the JNCAir so I can also use it for filling tires and it works great. http://www.amazon.com/Jump-N-Carry-JNCAIR-1700-Amp-12-Volt-Compressor/dp/B000KPU8F2/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1429869275&sr=1-1&keywords=jnc+air

It usually starts with one or two pulls of the starter cord so it's really not an issue. It will re-charge itself when running. If it's an issue any trickle charger will do but is really unnecessary.

I believe there is two models. This one is for jump start only. It comes with wall charger, and that is pretty much it.

The 15 amp does not have a "car start". That being said it is always faster to charge a battery with more amps.

No you need a trickle charge unit for that. However it is a great jump start system.

No it is just a battery. Charger is sold separately and does not com with it.

This isNOT a jump starter. It's a maintainer and a darn good one. It puts out a max of 4.3 amps. You need 30 amps to jump start. If you put this unit on your TV all the time you won't need a jumper, and your battery will last a lot longer.

Yes, this is a 12VDC battery. It won't jump start your car, but will charge the car battery enough so your car will start. You leave it connected to the car battery for about 20 minutes then disconnect the Power Tank before starting your car, or it could damage the Power Tank. It doesn't have enough starting amps to jump start a car. It is great to use to charge your phones when the power goes out. It will run 2 telescopes for many hours when your out in the middle of nowhere. The led flashlight is awesome, but never use at a star party, or you won't be invited back, it is so bright.

yes but not sure whether its the starter or trickle type. but it does charge the battery.

That cord is meant for recharging the unit not to jump start a car, You can not jump start any car that way with any product (only charge). The only thing you can do is do a slow low amp charge through the auxiliary power outlet ( I am a ASE certified tech and have seen people do much harm to the cars power outlet) Like others have said that outlet is fused and the biggest fuse I have seen is a 20 amp on that circuit, that is not enough amps to start a car.

I cannot say for sure but, my guess would be yes. I've used my as directed to jump start a friends car and it powered the starter motor just like the cars battery.

Hi, Klara. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Plug the Mity-Mite into heavy duty extension cord to charge it. Once it's fully charged, the unit displays a green light when you press the button on the front of it. If not charged, the light will glow red or yellow. The unit can be used to jump start almost any kind of standard battery used in a vehicle (not, of course, a hybrid battery). This is not a trickle charger, in other words you cannot put it on the car's battery and expect it to slowly re-charge the battery. It's like having jumper cables without needing to attach one end to a viable battery and the other end to the battery that isn't working. Hope this answers your question.

Hi, J. I am sorry, but this may be a question the manufacturer could answer. I don't know about your jump starter. It did not work for my potable air compressor even though the ad said it would. Thanks and best wishes!
