Car Jump Starter Review
This is a back up battery power bank with a lot of options. It is compact for what it is inteded to do. I picked this up with the intentions of being prepared incase I had battery issues with my vehicle. The back up battery pack comes with a black or yellow highlights depending on which one you order. This kit for the B9 600A charger includes:
110w adapter
lighter plut adapter
USB to Micro USB cable
jumper cables
battery pack
instructions manual
I will start with charging this unit. There 2 methods to charge this battery back up unit. First is using a 110w wall socket with the adapter. This is a matter of plugging in the 110w socket into the wall and then plugging in the other end of the cable into the input port. The other method is the lighter adapter for car. This is the same concept, plug the big end into the lighter socket and the other end into the input port. The unit is lightweight enough to carry into a business to use a wall socket to charge if you are having issues with your vehicle battery. Obviously you wont be able to use your lighter socket in this case. Once charged it is easy enough to carry back out to your vehicle. No need to call for some expensive help if there is no need. Now you can use a lighter socket from another vehicle while you are sitting there if there is no other choice. I do not recommed this avenue since it takes forever for the back up battery charger to charge in this manner.
Next this back up battery charger comes with 2 ports to charge other devices if you need. It can charge at 2 different speeds being 1A and 2.1A. This is great if your phone is dead and you have no other means of charging. It only takes a couple of minutes of charging with this battery back up system to be able to make a phone call.
Now what the unit is really designed to do. It will provide 600A of cranking power through the jumper cables. This is enough to start most cars, small trucks, motorcycles, or even a the battery on a gas powered golf cart. In the instuctions there are a set of rules and steps to follow when doing a jump start with this battery back up system. Make sure to follow them very close or it could result in damage. It is very easy to set this unit up to do the jump start. All it requires is plugging in the jumper cable leads into the battery back up system. Then it is hooking it to the battery but make sure you do these in the proper steps as then instructions say.
This battery unit is a 14000Mah back up unit. This is enough back up power to charge a cell phone about 10 times before you have to recharge the battery pack. This battery pack also has a couple of other features included. The battery pack has the ability to be used as a flashlight with the pressing and holding of the power button for about 3 seconds. If you press the button one more time quickly it will start a strobe light. To turn the light back off you have to press and hold the power button for about 3 more seconds again. The next feature that the pack has it a compass on the outside of the unit. Having a compass at all times is never a bad thing.
The unit is actually very compact. It comes in a small carrying case that will hold all of the adapters and battery back up syste. It takes up no more room then a typical set of jumper cables including the case it comes with. The case is a semi-hard shell clam type case. I have no problems with finding a place to store this in my vehicle.
If you are looking to be more prepared, feel safer, and have an all around handy device incase of battery problems, this is one kit I think you should consider picking up. It will jump start most vehicles, can charge other devices, flashlight, compass, compact, and extremely easy to use. I would like to thank Beatit and affiliates for sending me this back up battery pack to try out and share my opinion.
