I bought something like that from Costco a few years ago and it cost something like $29. I've only used it twice, once on a lady's car and once on my totally dead battery on my truck. Sure beats dragging out jumper cables and looking for a donor vehicle.
I remember back in the day just touching front bumpers and using a coat hanger to bridge the positives. Wear gloves though, if the jumped vehicle doesn't fire right up that coat hanger will get REALLY HOT!!!
Now this is the video I have been waiting for. That shows someone out there to test a big diesel engine truck to test the gadget. That's all I needed to know. Thanks sir for your video ! U did well.
Thanks for the tip. I found the 2000A one for half the price and it'll make a great gift for my father in law and his "I only drive it once every other month" '98 Mustang.
I use to have a 800A DBpower jump starter, it had seen constant heavy use in the two years that I've owned it. One day it died, but it was my fault completely; I had accidently left it on my car seat in direct sunlight. The battery swelled up and broke the case completely.
@@kad3e3 yep I have that one as well and love it. Though tbh had a tough time starting my 6.8 v10 that sat for 6 months. Started my lb7 that needed new batteries right up though that only sat for a weekend
Glade it worked for you, I have one & it could not fire my 7.3l psd, nor could it even started a buddies Jeep. Waiting for another one… hope to have better luck with the next one.
Isnt it amazing how far batteries have come? I can remember back when my dad bought some of the first battery powered drills and such when I was growing up , and they were complete garbage... and these were the high end of the time. Battery would last like MAYBE 10 mins, and they had NO power....not to mention the battery was HUGE and super heavy. Now look at how far they have come. They have impact guns like the Milwaukee that are beasts ran off battery, and then look at this jump box.. its cool shit .
I remember having RC cars that would go maybe 4mph.....You'd charge them for like 5 hours and they'd only last 15 minutes. hahaha. It was such a bummer.
i have harbor fright one i been using for about 3 years still works fine and it starts my 6.0Liter ford deisle as long as it has full charge iam pretty happy with it for 29.00 dollars and bought becuase i was Tow truck driver and hated pulling my cables out in the rain or in parking lots but those things do work really well and usally has usb so i use it to charge my phone or what not when camping and can charge it up while i drive ben handy tool to have
I have the 2000A and it just started my 4.3 litre V8 Lexus like it had a brand new batter. With tax from Amazon was $75. I am so impressed. On top of that you can charge all your devices with it as well. Very nice product.
I bought 2 4000A models on Amazon this week for $83 each. Thought about the 6000A but had a neighbor try his 600A on my dual battery truck and it wouldn’t start. I figured for the money one on each battery should do the trick.
Just bought this 3000, Avapow two days ago for $ 68.00. Amazon 🎄 sale. It's charging now and I hope it works because my battery is deader than yours appears to be. Good video thanks 👍🎉
I cannot thank you enough for putting this video out. I almost spent $289 for Noco Genious GB150. I', a fan of Genius products, but this sure saves me a lot of money. Thanks again sir. 2015 Ford F350 6.7 V8 Diesel.
Had one of these PowerAll jumppacks. Jumpstarted a car with a broken battery once and it burned the diodes in the clamp. I guess they do work, but only when the battery is good, but low. Not completely dead.
Some jump packs have built in features that enables you to jump start a car with a completely dead battery. Its just a matter of finding the right one.
I bought a Noco 4250Amp and when its fully charged i jumpstarted a 6.7 but the battery went down to 2 bars. Wasn't very happy since i sometimes use it multiple times a day. I just picked up the 6000amp avapow, hopefully its good. And if it isnt well its still under half what i paid for the Noco.
I bought this same one cause I was impressed with your video. When my 2011 silverado 5.3liter didn't start I grabbed my AVAPOW and hooked it up. Truck started immediately. Problem tho, my truck went into heart attack mode, herky Jerry, like a seizures of sort. All electrical went full tilt. Brakes went stop and go. Wipers turned on by itself. Took the truck to shop they tell me battery was expired. No juice in it left. Replaced battery with new. It's back to normal. We don't know why truck acted that way after the AVAPOW was hooked.
It wasn't the jumper that did the freak out it was the fact that the alternator was fulfilling itself because the battery was no good and all the modules lost power which meant they all had to wake up and re handshake
Nice! I have one but it's huge compared to that 1. Lol Mine has a inverter and air compressor built in. It's not as easy to tote around like that one. And for $92 can't beat it . 😎👍👍🤙👋
I got one of those new packs, they are great for starting a dead battery, but I don't like how it only supplies power for starting. I've had times where old-school jump packs saved the day and got me home when an alternator craps out. You can't do that with the new jump packs.
I just Bought the Avapow 6000a Jumpstarter for $99 plus Tax, People in the Review section was complaining about having to use a Type C Phone charger cable? 5V and 2 or 3 amp Phone Charger, People now days Complain about ANYTHING lol. Luckily I've got like 3 or 4 Samsung Phone quick chargers
@@FordBossMe Yeah i don't get why People Complain about having to use a Phone Charger? Maybe cause they have a 5 year OLD Phone that doesn't Take Type C cable 😂 They need to Upgrade atleast to a Samsung Galaxy A10 ($50) at Walmart
@tradde11 My only concern is the Auto Technology in the Jumper, As in it does not supply Energy untill you Bump your Starter meaning your Battery probably Dips below 11.9 Volts for the Jumper Box to Activate and send Power? Idk I'm not an electrician lol!
I actually bought one of these for around $80 almost 2 years ago, it wasn't that brand but it only lasted around 7 months because it's never really the batteries that go out it's the cheap charge circuit that blows. Those do work but they're kind of iffy unless they're a reputable name brand like NOCO because the circuit quality is really good you won't get it to fail that way. I've seen a lot of these jump packs that all look identical but have different brands printed on them like they come from the same factory in China. I've also bought cheap power banks that weren't name brand and the charge circuit always failed. The name brand anker has been going for 4 years straight.
@Samson Holdsworth yeah thats why i wasnt so convinced afterwards, ended up just getting another cheap 600a $50 AGM Schumacher pack and as long as you keep it plugged in all the time the battery wont get ruined. The gfci plug it was plugged into booted and i thought it had been maintaining charge that whole time but 7 months later the battery was flat and got ruined. i took the gfci crap off and put a regular plug. there's no water in the garage anyway. Still maintaining charge which is what you gotta do, the float charger terminal for the mower disconnected itself and it wouldn't start, immediately fired up with the pack. The stupid solar panel maintainer for my RV broke and was flat. it fired that 7.5L gas v8 up no problem. you dont need 1000, 2000, 3000 amp stuff. the majority of them lie and fall way short of their rating in actual testing but still put out enough and if it starts people dont investigate further.
@@elihernandez330 Interesting.. yes i also got the 600a Schumacher one about 12-18mo ago at a local pawn shop for about, yep, $50 lol and IT has GOT to be the best 50 bucks I've ever spent. That lil sucker saved my butt countless times and i LITERALLY, went/ got over 10 jump starts from a single charge of the unit!! Long story short: I reluctantly had sold that unit to somebody who was In need… And have just moments ago purchased this unit from this video so hopefully it will pan out to be as high quality and reliable as that Schumacher was.
That's not how it's set up, it's set up 12 volts for one side such as the glow plugs and certain functions and the other side is set up 12 volts for the other never is a 24 volt system because it's not running together that way
It depends how the batteries are hooked up to determine if the system stays at 12v or 24v. If you go from pos on a battery to negative on another, that would turn it into a 24v. Pretty much puts the electrical system in series. With a 12v series, you are in parallel. With series, if you disconnect anything, there will be no power. With parallel, you could remove one battery and still have power. Now that isn't speaking about all the other electrical things. Just the connections/battery. Most diesel trucks have 2 batteries.
Clearly it started with this but wouldn't start without it and this is the main one that we use for all of the double battery Super Duties when the big roll around booster pack won't do it
Is outrageous and then I tried to pay the phone off out right so I didn't have a payment and they wouldn't sell it to me they said the maximum that I could pay on the phone was $800 or they would not give me a plan with the phone
@@FordBossMe I've seen a few. Good work. I was offered a similar product to review and it makes sense in an emergency but hard for me to believe I'd use it more than once a year. I could be wrong though.
Most of the region items like this the people said they'd not even had to use it, yet. So they couldn't say it actually worked. I read and chose this one because several people had used this one.
ProjectFarm debunked a lot of these lithium ion jump starters. Their claims on the box are greatly exaggerated; in reality they push out about 700-800 amps for a few seconds on a full load. I have a similar jump starter like yours but it’s the “6000A” variant; and pushes 1000 amps during a jump start.
Well I could tell you right now that it's working for me so far and I just showed you how it works so I don't know how you're going to negate that I like project Farm but what I don't like how everybody references him every time something gets tested let other guys have a chance without being a fanboy of somebody's go to for everything I mean there's plenty of us out here that are professionals that actually do this in the field and it's completely different when you stress test something you show it live versus what's being done in somebody's home or garage I get what you're saying and I mean no disrespect but I'm really tired of hearing project Farm every time somebody popped up with a new test or something if they want to show it kind of gets old
@@FordBossMe Hey, thanks for replying back. I understand you completely, it works for me just like it work for you. I am just saying that a lot of Chinese companies over exaggerate the amps number on their product just to boost their sales.

I just prefer the companies to test their jump starters thoroughly and list the accurate amp numbers.

You should do an affiliates link with Amazon.

Hope you enjoy it!
OMG I want one of those!!!! Thanks for the report!!!!!
got the "BOLT" jumper and it also works just fine ! keep it charged and in trunk !!
That was amazing!
I have a "Topvision" one and it seems to do pretty good also.
We got a Cat brand big bulky one its not that strong either had use a charger with it to get a tractor started
It only supplies power while starting the vehicle?!?! Never knew this!
im impressed thats a nice unit
It’s not in the market at Amazon anymore only available in their website. I wonder why 🤔
I use a Buture it works great also. Keep doing vídeos.
I'm getting topvision PJ tested and it's like close to $60 now.

What do you do when any of these loses their power? Do you AC charge them back up?🦇
I’m gonna get one of those for my boat.
Nice on sale just paid 100$ for the 6000a one. So if ur 3000a works I'm good
Absolutely
I saw you put it on the passenger side battery, does it matter which battery it goes on ? What side is the primary battery on or does it matter ?
You are supposed to wait for the lights to turn green before starting your vehicle, give it a few minutes to charge your battery
Hey man I've been using this thing for a few years and I really don't need a lot of help on how to use it
If you have a dead battery a few minutes is not going to charge anything

50% of the battery in one time
