5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable and effective car accessory
I bought this as a jump starter and phone charger to keep in my '72 MGB. Most of the reviews cover the jump start capability which I haven't yet had to test. Though I did test the battery connectors, instructions were easy to follow and the 'reverse connection warning system' was clear and very effective. Not many reviews cover the other functionality of the product so I put it through its paces over the weekend. Here are my observations:1. Initial charge: The device came charged to 100% so ready straight out of the box. The charge percentage is a digital number reading which was much more useful that just 3-4 indicator lights on some products.2. Torch: Easy to turn on and switch between the three modes. Its not super bright (I don't know the exact lumens) but would be sufficient to light up a small area to do any emergency works. I wouldn't rely on it for any distance illumination. The strobe and SOS functions would be god for roadside warnings, though I prefer to use red flashing light (on my other torch) for these.3. Device charger: With two USB chargers this will be very handy when using my phone for navigation and music. It took 2 hours to charge my iPhone 11 from 23% - 94% and used 40% of the jump starters battery capacity. So I would estimate its good for 2-3 full charges but bear in mind, it says you need min 60% charge to be able to do a jump start.4. Case and accessories: It comes with all you need inside the handy and robust pouch. If I was going to get picky I would say the pouch is slightly oversized but that does give room for apple and micro USB charging cables.5. Device recharging: I haven't yet fully drained the device battery but after doing the above tests it took 1.5 hours to recharge the device from 60% - 100% via a wall plug.Overall, I'd highly recommend this device for keeping in the car to jump start when needed as well as an emergency recharger for various devices.
5.0 out of 5 stars Booster, jump starter.
This got me out of trouble a couple of times before I replaced my car battery. Great product. Ideal and lightweight to keep in car. Car also charge other items with the inputs plus torch. Great value.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!
This is an amazing bit of kit. So far off one full charge it's started my car, 2 friends cars, and the works 3L van, and is still showing 77% charge left. So easy to use, really compact, and makes you an instant hero when you come to the rescue.Can also be used as a power bank for your phone / tablet etc.Honestly, this is probably the best thing I have ever bought off Bolo.
4.0 out of 5 stars No Instructions of "How" to recharge the unit provided. Fire Risk?
The unit arrives with VERY clear instructions that it required to be fully charged before use, yet at first unpackaging it is at 100% charged. This is surprising as given the size of the lithium battery and postal/courier restrictions I would have expected the packaging to have conveyed the lithium content within. However, it was received in plain packaging.To "use" the unit it's easy and the instructions simple if printed a little on the small side for old eyes or the darkness at the side of a road in an emergency.To boost a totally dead battery you have to push a tiny, recessed button much like a "reset" button on electronics, yet you're not provided with any tool to do this. I had to use my only available metal nail, being very unsure if I would break the unit or receive an electric shock!The unit does work very well to boost and start my dead battery car, plus is well packaged to be kept in the car for future emergencies. The instructions say it needs to be recharged a minimum of every 3months if not used/discharged, more frequently of course if used.A very short USB2 to USB-C cable is included and the unit "input" is labelled as 5V, 2A ...but what do you use or where do you normally get 5V/2A around a UK domestic property?Most of my current charging points, or USB computer outputs are either 5V/1A or 5V/2.4A ...is it critical that the input amperage is exactly 2A...?Given the many recent incidents of lithium batteries exploding due to incorrect charging methods and incorrect charging amperage I'm surprised that a unit so powerful comes wth really no instructions at all as to how to recharge it in the home? Is there a fire risk to my charging it through a USB port rated at 5V/2.4A?Am I at risk as a result of purchasing this item.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lifesaver!!
Incredible gadget. I had issues with my car battery (which I ended up replacing) whereby I had to restart it literally ALL the times ! Having this in the car saved me. Clear instructions, easy to use and incredibly powerful. My car would start immediately. It is also a power bank making it a good value for money ! I used it to charge my IPhone 15 few times and it did it perfectly. I’m really glad I got this!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Starts first time
The battery on our older car has on occasion lost charge during the colder months if we don’t use the car regularly, so bought this to avoid having to use jump leads with another car etc. This is brilliant, the instructions are straightforward and the car starts first time. Each attempt does however knock down the power level by about 25% so I suspect I would only get 4-5 attempts at it, but it’s not been a problem so far. I keep this charged up and in the glovebox, just in case it’s needed.Haven’t needed to use the torch function nor the USB charger function yet.
5.0 out of 5 stars Not tested the limit capacity, but worked on my mum's hybrid Yaris
Used this to kickstart my mum's Toyota Yaris hybrid that has been sitting on our driveway for months, so the battery was completely flat.This was delivered really quickly and I charged it full before using it. At first, I thought it didn't work, until I noticed the Boost button, pressed it and the car started working.Comes in a little pouch, so nice and easy to store neatly. Not tried it on my car yet (4.0l diesel, which is the limit), but I hope I don't need to.Nice to have as both a portable USB charger, as well as a backup.
