Scosche - Portable Car Jump Starter with USB Power Bank - Gray/Black

This product is awesome. I left the lights on in my car and instead of calling someone or buying jumper cables I decided it was time to invest in one of these. Ran to the store, charged it up and jumped my VW GTI. I drove it to run errands and the car battery hadn't recharged enough when I tried to start it again so I had to jump it a second time and it had enough charge to jump it twice! I was so relieved! This also can charge other electronics with the USB port. The flashlight not only turns on solid but can flash which would be good in roadside emergencies. The black case that holds everything was much nicer than I was expecting. Because the case is so nice I think this would especially be a good gift. There is also room in the case to hold a few other things. I added a ziplock bag with rubber gloves so I don't get my hands dirty from getting into the hood of the car. I do leave the battery in my car in 100F+ heat. I have noticed that the battery looses its charge sitting in my car even if I don't use it so I would recommend checking the charge on the device regularly. I estimate that over 50% of the charge was lost after 3 months in my car not being used. I did some research and that seems to be a fault of lithium ion battery technology and not this specific product; so keep that in mind if you purchase this. I make it a habit of opening the case and checking the charge when I vacuum the interior of my car. Overall good buy.

Picked this up because I ran my car battery down and needed to get ~something~ to fire it back up, and figured this would be far better for emergencies than jumper cables. Got it home, charged it, took it out and the car started up instantly. Drove it about a half-mile to the gas station to fill up (which wasn't enough to charge the battery) and had to use it again, and it worked just as well, no issues. Again, this morning when I left for work, it worked beautifully. Hopefully the distance was enough for the alternator to charge the car battery back up, but if not, this little jumper pack is still showing a full charge after three jumps, so I'm not worried at all about being stuck here. I don't know if it's got enough power to turn over an eight cylinder engine, but if you're running on four or six, this thing's got enough power to give you multiple jumps if need be. Highly recommended.

I love bought 2 from different locations and somehow they work beautifully as an extended battery charger for USB powered devices and portable applications likea fan however before I used it as a powernoption for those devices, I used the BOOST featire to jump start my dads 6cyl car and my friends 4cyl... within moments the pack got so hot I couldn’t hold it without wrapping it in a towel.

this unit is OK but it took a very long time to fully charge. I would prefer to recommend the 700 amp model for the price difference. This model will only jump start up to a small 6 cy engine.

I bought this because my car’s battery had died and needed a jumpstart, it did the job. I like how small it is and that it is small enough that I can keep it in the glove box.

Well took around 6hours to charge then I plugged in my phone 45 minutes later battery still the same dead waste of time and money it will be returned

Plan to use it soon when I will be leaving my car in the garage for an extended period of time.

Bought this for my Dad. Didnt need the next one up, but still a phenomenal product with a good name behind it!
