Everybody in our family has been gifted a GooLoo battery pack a few years ago. Yes, you should remember to charge it up every few months.

I have the NEBO 1500XP, has an air compressor as well as a jump box. Bit more $ at $150.00 fits in your glove box or saddlebag. Says it will start your vehicle 35 times on a single charge.

YouTube channel Project Farm has a full review.

This forum has historical threads about these chargers.

I find the issues are remembering the charger exists and charging the battery.

Timely thread, thanks SC!

Technology keeps improving rapidly. Until last year I happily used a bicycle pump to manually air up motorcycle tires, and even add a couple of pounds to car tires. Thanks to another thread here I learned the battery air compressors are quite good now.

Today I learned that jumper batteries are way smaller than a lead/acid unit I'd bought 7 or 8 years ago that only worked marginally and was heavy.

YES! They had a big drycell UPS battery in them.
I had one for a while, it would actually jump the Beechcraft off.

Wally World is clearancing these at the moment for $29.99. 30 day free returns. I rolled the dice and ordered one.

I already have an EverStart jump battery for a few years, that has been used successfully a few times.

Is there a 12v connection that with an adapter could charge a phone, flashlight, etc.?

There is a USB port you can use to charge phones, lights, etc.

Last year I bought NOCO's for the wife and daughters cars

I had a 1200A one, forget the name, it would easily start a dead V8. I gave it to my drivers, a few retirees we send here and there for dealer trades, deliveries and such

I bought this Wolfbox 4000a for myself, it's a hoss. I have used it three times in the last couple of weeks. It has used 3% of it's battery for each jump

I purchased three Audew's (two for gifts and one for me) based on the Project Farm's first round of reviews on these jump-starters, and the handful of times I used it to jump start my car and some others it worked great.

I replaced my unit (after it did not 'make it back' from a ski trip that my wife and daughter went on using my vehicle) with a Gooloo GP4000, which was also reviewed by Project Farm in his second review of these.

The pricing for the Audew on clearance is very attractive and I'll probably get one for both of the kids to keep in their cars.

Thanks for posting!

The Walmart offer is over, now up to 49.99, but Amazon also has them for that now too:

Audew

Anyone have any recommendations for a 4000A variety that does not have an air compressor? I got that covered with the M18 version earlier this year (thanks to this forum).

Thanks for the tip. Now have on to bring camping. Now I don’t have to worry as much about not enough juice to start the generator from running the furnace overnight.
