VECTOR VEC012C Jump-Start System with Compressor
Don¿t ever be stranded with a dead battery again. The Vector VEC012C jump start system features 450 amps of power, a built in air compressor, and a 12V DC portable power outlet. This unit includes AC and DC charging adapters to recharge the system.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

The Air compressor is lacking
The Jump-starter works fine, but the air compressor is cheaply constructed with plastic gearing. Inflating a tire that is completely flat causes the pump to get very hot, the hot metal part melted the plastic gears in my pump. The pump will stop working when it overheats, but the damage will be done. The jump-starter and light will be the only thing that will function afterward.

Poor Function - Very Poor Documentation - Very Poor Labeling
Vector (VEC012C) Jump Start System - - MY RATING - VERY POOR.

I'm very disappointed in labeling and documentation. The ac recharging adapter is not labeled for brand/device, and I've befuddled it with a bunch of other leftover adapters in my junk drawer. I've got a handful that fit the recharging hole, so which is it? Naturally they aren't labeled as to what device is matched for which adapter - all different recharging (watt/amps, etc) specs. I don't want to burn up my unit with the wrong one or set my house ablaze either (not quite Christmas yet).

The manufacturer (Vector brand) is too cheap to have a simple website, so I wasn't able to find the documentation manual or any useful online adapter notes with power specs. Why? The product is discontinued (per a website). None of the Vector sales sites on the web (including this one - Amazon!) don't have documentation or much detailed info (simple power/adapter specs??), reminding me again to beware of...
Battery Doesn't Last
My particular model was the Vector Veco105 but is nearly identical to this model in appearance and function except for the compressor, which it does not have. My experience has been similar to that expressed in other reviews, unfortunately. The DC charger broke after a few uses. Attempts to use other chargers have produced three green lights indicating full charge, however the charge was not maintained for long and the unit could not start my car. I have concluded that the rechargeable battery is extremely poor quality. This was discovered a little after the warranty expired however and so after one use, the unit is worthless.
