I've jump started lots of cars over the past 30 years and was super skeptical of these at first. They are pretty incredible. 3-4 starts off of one charge easily and make for a hell of a battery pack.

Just mind the size because they are quite a bit chunkier than average power packs.

edit: I’ve bought a few of these as gifts. I *strongly* prefer the ones with a molded softshell case to manage the jumpers. I haven’t found any from a well-known brand that weren’t just re-badged noname products with a big mark up. Project Farm on YouTube has some of the best product reviews out there, it looks like he’s done a bit of a bake off, might be worth your while watching if you’re looking at these.



I bought one off of Amazon that stopped working after three months, extraordinarily frustrating. Hard to find a decent brand since they all seem to be cheap junk.


This thread reminded me that I was thinking about picking one up, I just looked again and it’s almost impossible to pick from the offerings that are out there.
