Jump Box Connecting Cables

There are a couple of cables that are really handy to have with your Jump Box. I am a Jump Starter Box nut. I use my Jump box as my own portable power station when traveling or camping. I use it for charging my laptop, cell phone, Ipod touch, and Kindle.

Some Jump Boxes come with everything you will need and others come pretty bare Bones. I just recently picked up a Schumacher Electric XP400 (it was around $40) which is nice and light but it came without any cables. It did not even come with a cable to plug it into 120V AC wall outlet to recharge it although any Extension cord will work.

The three items I would strongly recommend having for your Jump box are a 120V AC cord, a double ended Cigarette Lighter cord and a simple 12 Volt to 120V AC inverter. The 120V AC cord will allow you to plug into any 120V AC wall outlet and charge your Box. The Double ended Cigarette Lighter Cord will allow you to plug your Jump Starter into your vehicle as you are driving and recharge it. Please check the Jump Box/Starter Battery page for a warning about charging this way.
