Is the brand good?

Technically, can you jump start by plugging it into cigarette lighter - if it has the adapter?
Solar chargers plug into the cigarette lighter - so it must be?

You won't get an actual jump-start through a cigarette lighter port … devices which do it that way are more of a trickle-charge where you plug them in and then wait at least a few minutes (due to limitations of that wiring). But If you plug these things up to the battery with the clamp cables, you can then actually start the car in just a few seconds … they're pretty impressive for the size. I don't have this model, but I got a similarly cheap AstroAI one a few years ago. It has started my own car and a few other random cars in parking lots where I've see people with their hood up needing a jump. It's so much more convenient than messing with jumper cables and trying to get another car close enough in cramped quarters like a parking lot.

It looks like it has an "RST" button for what it calls "mandatory start mode". It also refers to it as the "forced start button" so it's probably similar to what some models call the boost button. Here's the user manual from their linked page …

I bought it and returned today. Cover for jump port broke off on first use. Feels light for stated power rating. I have USB portable battery chargers that weigh more. USB output only measured 5v 1.45ah. Cigarette lighter adapter nice option but the plug fell out easily. Very nice case. I didn't have a weak battery to jump but I'd be surprised if it really has sufficient power output.

20,000 mah battery with 12v output? I'm all over this, great as an external battery to run my portable electric cooler

Don't rely on inflated mAh numbers. Evaluate your jump starter based on its Wh rating and real-world performance. Proper testing will reveal whether your device can actually deliver when your engine needs it most. Many jump starters advertise large capacities like 26,800mAh, but that number alone doesn't mean much. Without the corresponding Watt-hour (Wh) rating, it's just a marketing number. What truly matters is the usable energy output.

Based on extensive testing, most of these devices only deliver about one-third of their advertised capacity. In reality, you're likely getting around 12,000 to 16,000mAh of usable energy.

High amp ratings like "1500A peak" are common, but they don't tell the full story unless:
- The boost circuit is well-designed,
- The battery cells can sustain high discharge current,
- The wiring and connectors are thick and efficient.

My 3.0L German diesel engine requires approximately 800 amps for 3 seconds during startup.

Power Calculation: 12V × 800A × (3 sec / 3600 sec) ≈ 8 Wh

So, a single crank uses about 8 watt-hours. If your jump starter is rated at 30Wh, you'll get maybe 2–3 cranks total, especially after accounting for energy lost during voltage conversion.

- Cheaper units lose 20–25% energy in the process.
- High-quality brands like NOCO typically lose 15–20%.

How to Accurately Test a Jump Starter:
1. Charge the jump starter to 100%. Use a USB power meter to ensure it's no longer drawing current.
2. Discharge it completely and record the watt-hours (Discharge Wh).
3. Calculate actual capacity in mAh: Real Capacity (mAh) = Discharge Wh ÷ 3.7V
4. Charge the device back to 100% and record the input watt-hours (Input Wh).
5. Calculate energy loss: Loss Wh = (Input Wh - Discharge Wh)
6. Calculate efficiency: Efficiency % = 100 - (Loss Wh ÷ Input Wh × 100)

Got it today, feels cheap. Plugged it in to charge and the light wasn't moving from 3 bars. Left it for few hours still at 3 bars. Doesn't compare feel wise to my Gooloo I bought in December. I guess time to return

I would not get this one as it does not have a boost button. For context : If you have a battery that is extremely dead, the jump unit can go into protection mode basically and refuse to jump the battery. Units with a boost button (small button on one of the sides of the little black box where the alligator leads come out of) allow you to bypass this and force the jump start. I went with this unit for our second vehicle which has boost functionality for around 26ish bucks after coupon code. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZP6H...title&th=1
thank you so much, i recently bought a 26ish one because my roomate is taking hold of my nicer one by gooloo (that i swear by because i used it at auctions and etc and it is still running strong) so i bought another one to give to my cousin, but noticed there was no boost button and that made it annoying to start my camry hybrid so i ended up buying the one you posted as another spare to give to my roomate so i can have my nice one back

I just saw the sale price and was about to buy and it changed, oh well. Last one I got I left in my car and after a while, even after charging, it did not hold a charge. But for the price it was worth it.
