I bought this just in case. Here in hot South Florida, car batteries generally last between 2 to 3 years, before giving up the ghost, and a device like this is a real life saver! I happened to pass by an older gentleman who had depleted his battery of his SUV with 2,4 liter gasoline engine, to the point where the electronics were ticking without the guy even trying to start the car. The lights and electronics all worked, but the battery was low voltage. I was doubtful this little $35 device could start the car, but plugged it in. It took only one try, the car that the man tried to start multiple times before, started right up. After this, I didn't even lose 1 led of battery. I bet I could have started a 2,4L engine for a at least 8 times in a row of 5 seconds of consecutive starting! I also started a 700cc motorcycle with a 100% depleted battery, and dried up fuel lines; not to mention hadn't moved in 3 years, so no oil lubrication on some parts. I added fresh fuel, and the starter and injector needed to push fresh fuel into the lines, causing me to start for an entire minute (in sessions of 10-15 seconds each, with 10-15 seconds in between), before there was enough fuel in the lines, and the engine started right up! All in all it took me 3/4th of the device's battery, and the device became hand warm, however it was a tough case where kick starting would probably never have succeeded! I'm very happy with the purchase, and this will be replacing my standard starter cables! I just fear the batteries catching fire in the back of my trunk, so I would like to find a fire proof case to put it in! Read more
Love this thing. So far I've used it to jump my riding lawnmower, a car, and charge my phone. It does really well for all 3 and you can use it a ton of times before having to recharge. I left it out in my shed and started the lawnmower with it about 6 times and it still had almost full charge. Charges your phone really quickly as well. Also it's small enough you can toss it in your glove box or even a purse. Though I don't know if leaving it in the car is a good idea in extreme heat/cold. Haven't tested that. Ease of use is 5/5. Plug in the cable and hook it up to the battery you're jumping. Or plug in your phone charger, and that's it. Read more
The GOLDBAT 700A Peak 12V 8000mAh Car Jump Starter never worked properly from the start and is now completely nonfunctional. I followed the instructions carefully, but it was unreliable and failed when actually needed. I’ve also tried reaching out to the company for support and received no response at all. Overall, this has been a frustrating experience, and I would not recommend this jump starter based on poor performance and lack of customer service. Read more
OMG... all I have to say is OMG. In the world of quarantine & Covid-19, I don’t drive my car. I’ve got an Acura ILX which has a push start and I’ve learned if you’d don’t start it the battery goes dead. I did want anyone from AAA coming to my house so I took a risk on this crazy idea that a little cell-phone-sized device can jump my car. Well, it’s ABSOLUTELY WORKS!! Not like “it kinda did what it says it can do” but it did MORE. I opened my hood and attached the device and my lights immediately came on, which was a great sign. And it pushes the button, and without hesitation, it started. I’d say this little thing might work even better than using another car. After I let my car run for a while, I turned off and immediately tried to restart it so see if I needed a new battery. It made some noise but didn’t restart. Connect my ”new best friend” and it restarted my car a second time without needing to recharge the device. We just ordered another one for our 2nd car because at this price and performance how can we not order more. Read more
Great jump starter for the price, started my 03 v6 Mustang from completely dead after two attempts (optima red top battery). Had to adjust it a few times and give it a minute to get it to work (must be lit up blue to jump, will turn red if not adjusted correctly). Easy to use and can get about two jumps from a full charge. Charging ports and flashlight also convenient. The jumpstarter held a charge just fine after checking it about a week later. If you can get this for a good price or on sale pick it up it will come in handy. Read more
I have to be honest. When I saw this battery jumper I didn’t buy it to try using on my Prius. I saw something else that would come in much more handy for me. I fly drones and I’m always wishing I had more time to fly but I always run out of charged packs. This 8000mah pack fits nicely into my drone bag and gives me a super portable field charging setup for those times when I just want to stay out just a little bit longer. I had to custom make an EC5 to XT60 cable to run between the jump pack and my charger but it works like a charm for what I wanted to use it for. It’s not going to be enough to charge up all of my bigger lipos but it will charge up one or two of them or I can recharge a few of my little 2s batteries to keep me out for a few more hours. I don’t anticipate that I will have to use it on my Prius but I definitely have put it to good use with my quads. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I used the Goldbat jumper as a power bank to charge my phone. After that, I checked to see if my van would start. Not even a click. The lights on the dash wouldn't come on. Hooked up this jumper, and it fired up real quick. Other jumpers may have some more features, but if you just want a portable jumper, with a strong usb power output, with a built in flash light, this is the perfect jump starter to keep in your car.
