Anker ROAV - Jump Starter Pro - Black

I live to be prepared and I even have jumper cables in my 2017 tacoma, but since I have a lot of stuff going on when my truck isn’t even on, it drains my battery like my dash cam and viper alarm. Since we are supposed to be shelter in place, my truck doesn’t get a lot of action to recharge my battery. I tried to jump it the last time it died using my Audi and that car is such a hassle just to get to the batter (since it’s in the trunk under the spare tire) I decided to look into a portable battery jump Starter. Literally just bought it yesterday, and my truck died this morning. Sadly, I was excited to see if my new toy will work and wouldn’t you know it, jumped my truck with no issues. My tacoma is a 2017 trd sport 4x4 with a V6 3.5 liter engine.

This little jumper has saved us so many times in a pinch when we were not in a place where we could get a jump from another car. Also when we could have called AAA we jumped ourselves and saved a long wait. See the photo where we broke down on the St Charles bridge. Once the traffic stopped and i was able to jump out it took about 1 minute.

When I saw this as a Deal of the Day, I decided to give it a try. I charged it when I got it, then had it for a couple of months before I had a chance to really test it. After sitting for a month with an old battery that barely make the dome light glow, it spun over the 4.0 6 cyl engine of my Jeep, like it had a fully charged battery. Later that day, I used it to start a friends 12HP lawn tractor that had been sitting for 2 years. (Totally stone cold dead!) Again, spun over as if it had a full charge. There is no waiting for it to charge the dead battery, as with a battery charger. I connected it, got in/on the vehicle and started it. After starting both, the booster still had 3?4 charge left in it. This was a spring day, in the 60s. I've yet to see how it does at 10 below... I expect it to perform well then, too. It comes in a soft zippered pouch. It's a solid little package.

I picked this up because I thought it would be handy to keep in the car for emergencies. With everyone sheltering in place because of COVID-19 I wasn't driving my car for several weeks and by coincidence the day the Jump Starter Pro arrived my car battery was dead. I charged the Jump Starter Pro up and then went outside and connected it to the car battery as instructed and it immediately started the car on the first try. Plenty of cracking power. Very impressive. This was well worth the price for the peace of mind to know that I won't get stuck with a dead car battery again.

I was shocked at the power this has. It took about 3 hours to charge it fully. I had to use it to start a vehicle and was really impressed at how powerful it was and how easy it was to use. I connected the cables to the battery; got into the vehicle; turned the key and voila; it started the vehicle without hesitation. I wasn't impressed with the instruction booklet as I had to call the company to get some questions answered. The booklet indicates that when you connect the cables to the battery it will give you information on your battery. Mine didn't. I just got lines running across the screen. All in all, a great product.

I have found myself with a dead car without a set of jumper cables or off the beaten path a few times more than once. And the wait for help can often be long and painful. In order to make sure that this was going to work out in the field I decided to leave the lights on my Chevy 1500 on overnight, the battery was dead the next morning. I was able to jump the Chevy and easy store the carrying case in the door pocket. I feel comfortable that should I need it, this Jump Pack will help me get out of any hairy situation.

I had an older can in my driveway, a large 8 cylinder with a battery that had been dead for over a month. I decided to see what this jump starter was really made of and hooked it up (after giving it a good charge of course.) To my surprise, it actually cranked it over! I think this a great thing to have around for emergency situations and makes a great gift for family members. They might not think so at the time they get it, but when they need it and it works, you'll be a star!

Purchased a month or two ago, charged but haven't had need to use until today. Daughter locked keys in vehicle (car off but in ignition and turned to accessory). Windshield wipers were going, long enough to drain battery and car not turn over. Connected the jumper, waited less than 1 minute, turned key and started! Vehicle is a 4 cylinder small Nissan Sentra, should there be a need to use with our SUV would certainly try using again.
