Wife has been asking for a jump starter ever since I got a few Halo Bolts on a WOOT deal and gave them all as xmas presents to family, but didn't keep one for ourselves. They've all used theirs multiple times for jumps and emergency phone charges. We might want something more feature rich sooner or later, but this is easily powerful enough to jump our car a few times in a charge and will be fine for now.
Thanks OP

No I find myself hoping for a dead battery to test!
If you live up north, just a note that if you're parking up in winter, take the jump starter in with you to keep it at reasonable temperature. These chargers don't like being being at freezing cold temperatures. My ones do have an overrride to force it to jump in the cold but easier to just bring it with you.

1) make sure the connector into the unit is good. One I had was made if plastic and while could jump vehicle after just a few disconnects the jump wire connector started coming apart
2) cable length. It's comically bad how short they can be. I understand less length = less resistance on wire but was pushing max length trying to just do positive w a ground. This one looks to be very short as well
3) the alligator clips. These look to be small. Had same problem since mine was too, and had one slip bc barely could fit over terminal when fully open, snap close bc was on edge of said terminal, and spring went flying that held it together. Was able to put back together but that shouldn't happen
All that said, they do work well in that the can jump vehicles and I will be buying another, but this time a unit that addresses all those problems (that shouldn't be in the first place). Noco seems to be the closest so far and know they go on sale at times on Woot, but also am going to look at other options
