Top positive review

I’m very satisfied with my purchase

January 10, 2019

This unit is something everyone should have in their vehicle, I jump start my 2016 Tundra yesterday and It start on first try, I definitely recommend this product to everybody. Very easy to use and you can charge your phone wirellessly, which is a bonus.

Update: with the Clamp Cables come with the unit i also able to check my voltage reading, see upload photo it show my wife Honda car showing 12.4V it mean the battery is good, FYI : When any 12-volt battery is discharged below 12.4 volts, sulfation begins to occur within the battery. Over time, this sulfation will diminish both the performance and lifespan of the battery .

Starting an 8L Diesel is highly questionable...

January 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

given that it couldn't start a 6.7L Cummins.

I bought this battery charger on 12-30-18 because when I returned home after vacation on 12-29 my truck wouldn't start. AAA got me going but I would likely need new batteries in the near future so I bought the 21000mAh Beatit for a little security. It did not provide that security. I woke up to dead batteries again today. I broke out the Beatit and topped off the charge (it was at 99% and I topped it off to 100). Hooked it up to my truck and to it's credit, it did fire up the plugs but nothing more than that, not even a weak turn-over. Another call to AAA and $300 later I got two new batteries. Yes, I needed new batteries but that's not the point. The point is, it would not turn-over a 6.7L Diesel. So, you get 1 star only because it appears to be of good quality and comes with a nice storage case. I guess I can still use it to charge other, less diesel, stuff.

Will not start a car!

February 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

So this jumper pack can not start even a 4 cylinder car. the reason is simple the wires that attach to the vehicle are 8 AWG 200 degree Celsius and made of aluminium, and they are 8 inches long. Given that the max amperage that can pass is 55 amps and that your average 4 cylinder requires 300 cold cranking amps to start... the only thing this box does well is charge a phone. and there are cheaper and better products for that.

Fully charged and did not crank over my 4 cylinder engine. I had to call a buddy to give me a jump and he used his own jump starter from another brand and his worked no problem.

Don’t waste your money.

This is a waste of money. It was at 100 % and quickly fell to 65% as it was sending voltage to my Chevy equinox so I know it had good connections but it would not start the small v-6 motor. Very very disappointed. Went strait in the garbage. The only reason it has 1 star is so I can do the review.

UPDATE: The company has been emailing me from a different email address every few days trying to bribe me to remove my review to the point that I'm now going to get amazon involved. So don't expect that these reviews are an accurate depiction of the customer satisfaction of this product.

Im a benz tech that's constantly jumping cars and the old lead acid jumper packs aren't cutting it anymore for the newer tech packed vehicles. I chose this one because of it's high power rating (although I highly doubted their figures), its wireless charging for my phone, and it was a lightning deal. Item arrived today in a nice looking and well laid out case. The jumper cables themselves looked to be 10 gauge aluminum, so I knew that the 2000amp rating was total BS, but that was sorta expected. I then tried to turn it on to see what the battery charge was at from the factory. Was completely dead. A bit alarming considering that lithium ion batteries should never be fully discharged, but excited to test it out, I plugged in the charger and off it went. Looked like it was charging fine and at a steady rate, but then it stopped at 35% and wouldn't charge past that. Left it charging for 5 hours (approximate charge time per owners manual), yet still stayed at 35%. I was going to let it change overnight just incase for some odd reason it stopped registering the charge percentage, but after taking a closer look at the casing and realizing that it's already contoured from swelling, I decided I didn't want to wake up to my house burning down and pulled the cord.

So my only option through Amazon would be to return it for a refund, but then that means I cant get it replaced for the same price because this one was on lightning deal, and I'd have to rebuy it at the normal price. So I decided to pull out the warranty card and go through the manufacturer. In the card, they state that the shipping costs are prorated, so within the first 6 months they'll cover shipping both ways, which I thought was nice. Looked at the contact info listed, and it's either a gmail email address or their Facebook page. No phone number, no website, no non-public email address. Sorry, but I'm not shipping my item back to someone's basement at the risk that I don't get an item back that I can return to Amazon for a refund. So my safest option now is to return to Amazon and order a real name brand jumper for 3x the price.

Not fit to jump start a car

May 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

The product description was sold as a 12V portable car jumper and indicated that this could be used to jump a car with a peak current of 2000 Amps. I have to admit that I was skeptical that a small lithium ion battery pack could deliver such a high current. But I have a car with a dead battery that needs 850 amps to jump it and I thought I would give this a try. When the battery arrived, it was already 98% charged. I followed the directions (which were very simple), I connected up the jumper cables, connected the jumper cables to the battery pack and then tried to start the car. Unfortunately, the battery pack didn't have enough current to power the dashboard and internal lights, let alone provide a jump. While this unit should be able to charge my iPhone a few times, it appears to have nowhere near the capacity to jump start a vehicle with a dead battery.

I wanted this for wireless charge and it is so slow that it just barely go’s looks like it just maintains the % you put it down at after a hour gained 2%. As the other features haven’t tried... I have. iPhone XS Max same problem with Samsung s9+ so not worth it at this point!
