Which Jump Starter?

[PhillH]

I bought a Top Don JS3000 after seeing a review on you tube. The transporter had not been used for two weeks and on the first cold morning the battery was completely dead. No central locking or dash lights. It was a good opportunity to test the booster. No issues at all, it started straight away, I could not get a battery for 2 days so I used the booster another 4 times and it is still showing 100%.
It may not be a Noco but I am happy with it so far.

It comes in a nice carry case too.

ooh, thanks for the reminder, must get mine out and check the charge level.

Yep. Just dig it out and fully charge then drop back in the van.

Topdon seems to be climbing the ranks lately.

Not seen that jump pack.

But I have a couple of there battery testers.

And have my eye on there new 120A charger, maintainer.

I have a reminder set on my phone and check my NOCO every 2 months.

That's a very good idea.

Anyone used one of these, gets decent reviews from what I've seen, and has a inbuilt compressor:

Looks like a Chinese cloan of the NOCO.

might be on as a power bank, but not sure it will start a T6 in the dead of winter.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

That's a fake reviews site... Just Amazon click bait for links.

You need to find a proper YouTube video showing it working and a tear down...

I couldn't watch that the whole way through, I felt stressed after 2 minutes! The muppet show would suit his voice perfectly!

That voice !

 

[Dellmassive]

That voice !

He has a very popular YouTube channel I've followed him for years.

He gets a product and stress tests it, almost to destruction.

You get some very good real life data.

But agreed it can be a tought watch.

I normally skip to the conclusion, then drop back to see the individual items of interest.

.....


But specifically for the Jump Packs that this thread is about.....he shows the good and the bad. (USA based shipping).



But to answer Jon's question about buying one that had good reviews....

I bought the best one supposidly listed on Amazon earlier in this thread couple of years ago .... It was total pants. It Wouldn't start a dead T6, or run a tyre pump on the 12v side..... Just rubbish.

So I sold it on eBay and become very aware of crappy fake reviews that are just after clicks.

Nowadays I want to see real-world testing and tear downs.

It does grate doesn’t it? And it’s like a race, it’s exhausting keeping up. He is very thorough though.
