Product Information

The lithium-cobalt battery has USB-C and USB-A ports to keep your phone and other electronics charging on long trips.

Cobra 800A Jump Starter: Our Experience October 21, 2022: New introduction, removed Audew and Viking 450A jump starters, added GooLoo GT3000 and Imazing 2000A. Lead-acid jump starters : Jump starters with lead-acid batteries are more durable and powerful than lithium batteries. However, they are bulky, making for a larger jump starter. The JF.EGWO has a four- to six-hour charging time. It does not have overcharge protection, which means you can’t plug it in and leave it overnight.

The NOCO Boost X GBX45 1250A 12V Portable Jump Starter is an extremely powerful, versatile, and reliable tool that can jump start a wide range of vehicles.While it’s unpleasant to jump a car in the rain, it’s unlikely you’ll be electrocuted. Your car’s electrical system is only 12.0 volts. This is much lower than the 120.0 volts of electricity in household outlets, which can electrocute you. Can jump-starting damage my car? Fortunately, you can now buy one of the best portable car jump starters, charge it up, and forget about it for six months or more (they do need topping up occasionally, especially if they get very cold or very hot repeatedly). Almost all of them have USB ports as well, and we often use one in the AutoGuide Garage as an oversized battery bank to charge phones, so they’re useful in all sorts of emergencies. Jump Starters vs. Jumper Cables We prefer models with built-in safety features and alerts, to warn against wrongful connection, dead shorts, and a low charge on the car battery, when being used as a jump starter. Such alerts may just save you damaging your jump starter and your car’s delicate electronics. This 2,500-amp device can safely jumpstart any 12-volt vehicle with a gas engine up to 8.5L in seconds. The eight built-in safety features are designed to protect against overheating and reverse polarity.

This depends on the jump starter, your car battery, and the temperature. The lower the power output of your jump starter, the longer it will take to jump your car. The same is true of a battery that’s closer to being dead. It may also take longer to jump your car in cold temperatures. As with the Clore, the NOCO Boost HD cables are permanently attached to the jump starter. We did notice that the cables are rather short. This means you will need to place the jump starter close to your battery to attach it to the terminals. The clamps are robust and easy to use. Handling the Fanttik T8, we were immediately impressed with the carrying case. This is a relatively minor consideration, but it is an example of the attention to detail that’s been put into the design of every part of this portable jump starter. With some jump starters, the included power cords and clamps seem like an afterthought, built as cheaply as possible. Not so with the T8, which uses the highest quality cables, meaning both faster charging and improved longevity. When using a jump starter when one vehicle is behind the other, you will want a cable that is 20 to 25 ft. long, with 30-ft. cables being for more extreme situations. Jumper Cable Durability One feature that makes the F40 jump starter stand out among others on this list is the display screen. It is noticeably larger and easier to read than any other portable jump starter we tested. That makes the F40 a good option for those who have trouble with tiny readouts. JF.EGWO F40: Our Experience

There are other little details that make the NOCO easier to use than other jump starters. It turns on with a single short press to the power button, as does the flashlight, which cycles through multiple on and emergency flashing cycles. Other units require assorted long and confusing sequences of presses, which might protect against turning on accidentally, but is a hassle when you actually need to use it. Like every other lithium jump starter we've tested, it has reverse polarity detection, alerting you if you connect the clamps to the wrong battery terminals. NOCO Boost Plus Specifications and Uses Our team members have spent day after day researching and testing the top-rated jump starters on the market. Consider the following criteria to find the best jump starter for your vehicle. Buying A Jump Starter: Expert Tips

With the GB70, you can even charge electronic devices (including smartphones) with its two ports. You can recharge this device’s lithium battery using a USB port. The battery takes up to six hours to charge, but one charge can last up to forty jumps. The rubberized casing also makes this jump starter water-resistant. NOCO Boost HD: Our Experience Customers say the NOCO Boost Plus is fast charging and that the power bank can hold a lengthy charge. Several customers say they used this jump starter on batteries that were dead, not just weak, and managed to get the car started after using the manual override on the unit. After using approximately a dozen jump starters in the AutoGuide Garage, we think the NOCO Boost Plus GB40 is the best jump starter for most people. It's priced about the same as competing models, but is smaller and better constructed than any other jump starter of the size that we tested. The clamps, in particular, are great, even better than the GooLoo's—weak clamps that don't open wide enough can make it impossible to clamp onto a hard-to-reach battery terminal. They also use the same universal connector common across other NOCO products, so you could mix and match if you needed to, although using longer cables would result in a drop in amperage. What Makes the NOCO Boost Plus Stand OutPortable jump starters have a built-in battery, meaning they can be used on the go whenever you need them. The only downside is that you must charge them after use, which can take several hours.

As an added safety measure, the unit won’t power on unless it is correctly attached to the battery. This starter has a 400-lumen LED flashlight, strobe, and SOS modes. The 18,000mAh power bank is good for about 50 jumpstarts on a single charge, or numerous recharges of mobile devices. A number of portable car jumpstarters have USB ports for charging, LED flashlights, radios, compasses, and sometimes air compressors. If a portable car jumpstarter has numerous additional features, it’ll generally be larger and heavier. Whether or not you will benefit from these extra features largely depends on personal preference. The 10 Best Portable Car Jumpstarters on the Market Today The GooLoo jump starter also has battery clamps that are on par with those of the NOCO. They're bigger and open wider than others; in fact, we discovered at least three brands used the same, small, completely interchangeable clamps. This may sound like a small detail, but we've jump started many engines with portable jump starters, and small clamps can be a big problem, preventing you from getting a good grip on the dead battery. New jump starters typically offer more functionality than simply jumping off a dead battery. Before purchasing a jump starter, you’ll want to decide which features would be useful and which work best for your car. If you have more intended use cases for your equipment, consider the following use cases when looking for a jump starter: We took note of the depth of detail and legibility of the instructions, and used each device to jump start a 1.6-litre Ford Focus with a flat battery a total of five times, with a gap of two minutes in between. Afterwards, we noted how much of the battery power had been consumed by recording how many lights had been extinguished. The general ease of use and the length of the included cables played a large part in our assessment, alongside features such as alerts – should the terminal clamps be connected incorrectly, for example.We've tested numerous portable lithium-ion jump starters on AutoGuide, and with a few exceptions like the great clamps and terrible flashlight on the GooLoo, there aren't many significant differences among them. The Nexpow model G17 2,000 amp is a minimalist variation on the theme, slimmed down to the basics: indicator lights, a few USB ports, and a flashlight. Salerno recommends shopping for jump starters by use case and brought up a few important questions customers should be asking themselves. Additional features were assessed and highlighted in our roundup; however, these didn’t directly affect our judgement, primarily due to the range of devices we were testing. For example, it would be unfair to criticise a glovebox-sized jump starter for not incorporating a tyre inflator. With a portable jumpstarter, you can easily get your car running in a few easy steps. We think it is one of the most important things you should keep in your vehicle, along with your emergency kit.
