Overview
A 1500-amp lithium jump starter rated for 6.0L gas or 3.0L diesel engines, under 8 inches long and under a pound, with a smart boost mode for fully drained batteries. Suits drivers who want a compact glovebox unit for occasional dead-battery emergencies rather than daily commercial use.
The boost mode is the notable feature here: when it senses voltage under 9V it unlocks a dedicated boost button rather than just trying the same current on any battery, which is what several owners credit for starting batteries a normal jumper would not touch. Owners caution that after the engine starts, the clamps need to come off within about 30 seconds, and that repeated boost-mode jumps drain the unit faster than one or two normal jumps would.
- 1500A peak current for 6.0L gas or 3.0L diesel engines
- Smart boost mode auto-detects voltage under 9V
- 8 built-in protections including reverse polarity and short circuit
- 3-mode LED flashlight with strobe and SOS
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who tested it in extreme conditions, including Phoenix heat and a car left in storage for 3 months, report the boost mode starting batteries a standard jumper would not. Reviewers also describe it starting a BMW X5 4.0L and a 5.0L Mustang, with one comparing it favorably to a $200-plus jump box that failed on the same engine. The main caution raised is that the clamps must come off within about 30 seconds of the engine starting, and one long-term owner says boost mode only holds up for 3 to 4 jumps before it needs a recharge.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Boost mode drains the unit after about 3 to 4 uses before it needs recharging
- Clamps must come off within about 30 seconds of the engine starting
Performance notes
The smart boost mode checks battery voltage first and only enables its boost button once voltage reads below 9V, targeting fully drained batteries specifically rather than applying full current to every connection. Metal safety clamps and 8 built-in protections, including reverse polarity and short circuit protection, are what several owners point to when describing confident use on vehicles ranging from a compact SUV to a V8 Mustang.
