About this deal

The wall charger is certified by UL. This means that it shouldn’t catch on fire in the middle of the night. Rugged Geek RG2000 Sport and the new NOCO X series of jump starters had USB-C charging with 60-watt PD fully charged in under 2.5 hours. The battery clamps on this unit are built solid, with solid clamping force, and are easy to operate. This jump starter has short circuit protection and reverses polarity protection. I began my tests by disconnecting the negative ( – ) terminal from the batteries that were inside the vehicles. I did this to simulate a completely dead battery.

It charges through USB-C, and there are two other USB-A ports for charging other compatible devices. The LED display is easy to read in direct sunlight. I first thought that the glossy finish makes it difficult to read in direct sunlight, but it is not the case here. Looking for a jump? We researched 50 of the best jump starters available today before purchasing 9 to test side-by-side. We took an in-depth look at the performance of each option, utilizing load testers, multimeters, and clamp meters. Using these tools, we were able to assess power performance, functionality, and battery storage. We spent hours in our at-home lab looking at voltage and amperage in real time while charging different batteries and engines. After collecting the data, we compare each product to give you an in-depth overview, finding unique uses and caveats for the models that stand out; all to help you in your buying decisions.Peak amps don’t matter. Always look for cranking amps (CA) or cold cranking amps (CCA) if you live in a colder climate. This jump starter from AVAPOW has solidly built clamps that apply decent pressure to the battery terminals. In my testing, the clamps did not bend or twist when connected to the battery. This jump starter also claims to work well in temperatures up to -4 Fahrenheit, so I did a cold test by putting this unit in the freezer for 30 minutes and then giving it a go. My test was not as cold as the jump starter’s operating temperature specs but it took 4 tries and fired the big 6.7L V10 right up. Maximum capacity – Engine sizes have been shrinking in recent times, and unless you’re running a huge land yacht of a car, you won’t need a hugely powerful jump starter.

HULKMAN Alpha85S was the only jump-starter that used a proprietary USB-C standard to recharge. I have also bought the HULKMAN Alpha100 (which uses the common PD USB-C charging standard) but it has not arrived yet. I tested clamps for their feel, clamping force, and durability over time. I was surprised to see that out of 19 clamp sets, only 8 were made out of metal. That said, the plastic clamps were not as bad as I thought they would be.Thanks again for the many many hours of testing that you did. Best review ever! All the best to you Frank. Reply One thing I noticed is that the laptop adaptors can be used to power other things that take DC voltages like printers, portable hard drives, refrigerators, or even wireless routers. It claims to jump-start vehicles with engine sizes up to 8-liter for both gasoline and diesel engines. But that can’t be true because diesel engines don’t rely on a spark from the plugs; instead, they rely on compression to raise the temperature of the air to the point where diesel fuel combusts instantaneously.

These were his words, “really, this is an awesome product. It’s compact and has a lot of power. And easy to use.” He then asked, “can I keep this one?” You know I don’t say “no” to my friends… This jump starter is also IP66 rated meaning that you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged from water splashes or dust and debris. This rating is important if you want to store this on a boat. The indicator on the jumper cable will show a steady green light when the battery clamps are correctly connected to the vehicle battery. If a steady red light comes on and the unit is beeping, the connection needs to be reversed.

Why You Should Trust Us

This jump starter also has overcharge protection so it is not harmful to keep it plugged in. But I wouldn’t suggest you keep it plugged in all the time if you are only going to use it once a month. This jump starter also has a manual override feature for the batteries that are really low or completely dead. Keep in mind that if you enable this feature, all the safety features like reverse polarity and short circuit protection will also be disabled. This can also charge your smartphones and tablets (which is probably something you are never going to do if you buy this) and has all the safety features like reverse polarity and short circuit protection. And this thing is heavy, and durable. NOCO GBX155 I do not advise you to do this on purpose even if you know your jump starter has reverse polarity protection and leave this feature only for those accidental situations. I did this so you don’t have to. Jumper Clamps and Cables

All of the jump starters had USB charge-out features except Clore Automotive, Weego, and Schumacher. Some of the best jump starters also had 12, 15, and 16-volt DC out so you can power things like laptops, hard drives, or anything that runs on these voltages. And there is not even overcharge protection so if you leave it on charge for a long time, the battery inside is probably going to get damaged. That is really a dumb design. And that compressor? Oh, it stopped working after filling just one tire.

Analysis and Test Results

The jumper cables are built solid, and I like how the plastic part of the clamps covers up the metal, so there is no risk of accidental short circuits. These jumper cables also have red and green lights indicating if you have hooked the leads in the wrong direction. It makes it super-safe to use. It also has safety features like reverse polarity protection so if you ever connect it the wrong way to the battery terminals (like I did on purpose for testing this) it flashes the red light and won’t let you jump or damage anything in your car or your wallet. The jumper clamps that are made out of plastic but have a metal pin in the hinge are sturdier than the ones that are completely made out of plastic. The iF DESIGN AWARD is one of the world’s most prestigious design awards. At the beginning of 2017, GOOLOO car jump starter stood out and won this Award, which enjoys the reputation of “Oscar of the design world” after a fierce competition with thousands of entries from all over the world. GOOLOO FLAGSHIP GP4000 JUMP STARTER ENRICH YOUR DRIVING LIFE Why do you care about 60W USB-C charge-out port? Well, for me I travel with my laptop a lot and this power bank can charge it through the USB-C port, as if I am plugged into the wall.
