    Versatile!

    I chose this model because of the possibility of connecting a compressor or a cool box. The built-in working lights work very well.

    I tested the unit at a neighbouring car dealer on a NISSAN 200 SX S13 1.8 petrol and a     HYUNDAI iX 55 3.0 diesel. Red terminal to +, black to -. Then switch on and wait until the white boost LED lights up. I was then able to start both cars without any problems. The first test worked quickly and easily.

    Expensive part for the probably max. 100 x where you can use it in a 50-year motorist life. Each Jumpstart costs then Fr. 2.89 or even more because the thing does not last 50 years!

    As an emergency starter for combustion engines certainly ok and good to use. But how often does it go well until the small (56Wh) Lion battery pack breaks down with the slektrical load-foam-urks? Probably not 100x and then you can throw the thing away. 2000 amps; that I do not laugh !!! During a hundredth of a second maybe with a full short circuit and then the delivered power is equal to zero and is also of no use to anyone. A starter motor starts with about 100 - 300 amps and then it reduces the voltage to about 7 volts. That is usually enough to start a motor. But how does Digitec state that it has 14850 mAh ? The manufacturer does not write that anywhere. The battery pack consists of three Lion cells with 3.7V and 4950 mAh each. Makes together 11.1 Volt nominal voltage and it remains with 4950 mAh. and consequently an energy content of 56Wh. These 56 Wh are really printed on the back of the device. Ampere hours cannot be added up in a series circuit! 1st year of electrical engineering! Probably not paid attention, what ? This fake marketing lie is also used by the other jump starter manufacturers which seems to be a disease of this lobby.
    Using the 12V output to run a car compressor for a short time is ok; but a coolbox ? Forget that; it needs about 5 amps and drains the available 56 Wh in one hour ! There is not even the cooler properly cold and the cola can inside even less.
    Charging at the 12 Volt connection goes faster than with the USB; but only up to about 75%, then it becomes looooong and never reaches the 100% charge because the voltage rise at the standing car battery with 12.5V is too small to reach the full charge. The green charging light flashes forever and a day ! The USB is also looooong, but has an internal 5 to 13.5 V converter and therefore enough voltage boost to reach the 100% with a lot of patience.

    • Calming effect for anxious battery grease-ists
    • can start a conventional V1, which is what it is supposed to do.
    • robust construction

    Contra

    • Price for what it is much too high !
    • It is of little use for a HSD hybrid vehicle because of the low voltage of 11.2 volts with an empty
    • 12 Volt battery probably hardly what because ev. the system does not come up.
    • cheap transport bag for stowing
    • you don't need it to charge a mobile phone; it's too bulky and heavy.

    Great part - the price is hot

    Great part, very robust, super-strong LED lamp with SOS function, etc. As for the 2000A, that's probably more window dressing. Various tests on YouTube came up with 200A instead of 2000A. But the part also works for hardened start refusers, as I have seen on YouTube. I haven't tested the part myself yet.

    I paid Fr. 249. So now it's even cheaper at Fr. 229.--.     

    Pro

    • Robust, solid
    • Super LED lamp
    • Starts engines up to 8 litres

    Contra

    • The 2000A are wishful thinking. At such a current strength, the cables burn out.
