Schumacher DSR165 Jump Starter and Power Station
Owners of 12-volt gas engines up to eight cylinders or diesels up to six who will keep an AGM jump starter on a charge every 30 days.
A jump starter Schumacher describes at 2200 peak amps, 525 cranking amps and 350 cold cranking amps, with a 12V DC accessory outlet and a 2.1A USB port. The listing gives a 22Ah AGM pack, and the manual attached to it is written for two other model numbers.
Published specifications
- 2200 peak amps, 525 cranking amps, 350 cold cranking amps (Schumacher's DSR ProSeries article and the listing)
- Sealed maintenance-free AGM lead-acid internal battery, 12V DC, 22Ah (manual, DSR114 column)
- 12V DC accessory outlet (15A maximum continuous in the manual's DSR114 column), plus a 2.1A USB-A port
- 4 AWG battery hookup cables, 60 inches / five feet, with colour-coded clamps
- Included charger: 120V AC 60Hz 0.5A input, 12V DC output at 2 amps (manual)
- Manual DSR114 size 16.7 x 12.9 x 5.5 in at 18.73 lb; listing says 20.8 x 14.6 x 6.3 in at 24.5 lb
Strengths
- Schumacher's own article gives the DSR165 its three current figures and links its SHOP DSR165 button straight to this listing, so the identity is checkable.
- Schumacher's article rates it for gas engines up to eight cylinders and diesels up to six, with a 12V DC accessory outlet and a 2.1A USB port.
- The digital display reads internal charge as a percentage and vehicle battery voltage, and the charger flags a bad battery with its own indicator.
Caveats
- The listing names DSR165, DSR115 and DSR114 in three fields, and its manual is headed MODELS: DSR114, DSR115 and never names the DSR165.
- Upkeep is real: the manual calls for a charge after every use and every 30 days, and a full charge may take up to 24 hours.
- The listing's extension-cord line and its battery-tender wording do not match what the manual's charging section says, and dimensions and weight differ between the two.
