Employing a host of practical features, a portable jump starter (also known as a jumper box, jumper pack, and a number of other monikers) is the more independent way to start your car when the battery runs dry. Rather than relying on the goodwill of strangers or AAA roadside assistance as required in the past, a jumper box delivers power to your 12V car battery directly from a small lithium battery through a familiar set of metal clamps. Just latch each clamp onto its respective terminal and get your motor running in a matter of seconds.
“Wow, just WOW!” one customer exclaimed. “Technology advancements make this an amazing value and solution for ‘jump starting’ today’s high current demand vehicles.”
“Outstanding jump starter that has worked like a champ every time it’s been needed,” another shopper added. “I’ve owned this for over two years now and every time it has been needed it has done exactly what you expect.”
Apart from serving as a self-sufficient jump starter, the Gooloo GT3000 in particular houses a 16,000mAh battery inside an IP65 water-resistant, 94V0 flame-retardant rubber over plastic enclosure. A 3.2-inch LED display provides real-time information such as the jumper box’s remaining battery life as well as a “Ready” indicator that tells you when it’s safe to start. The device even doubles as a power bank, with a suite of ports including twoUSB Type-A ports, one of which can fast-charge, as well as bidirectional USB-C. Its 100W power delivery means you can even use it to charge larger devices, such as laptops, on the road.
“This is the best jump start box I have ever owned and I have owned quite a few,” noted a reviewer. “I’ve used it numerous times over the last two years on lawn mowers, diesel tractors , diesel trucks and vehicles, even a few pieces of heavy equipment with no problems.”
Gooloo claims the internal battery will charge from 0 to 100% in just under an hour. Since most of us will leave it in our trunks and forget about it until an emergency rises, the GT3000 also holds a charge for up to two years without decline. Although it lacks the built-in tire inflator some jumper boxes have, Gooloo’s GT3000 model does include a bright 400-lumen emergency light with three distinct modes tailored to different situations and works in extreme temperatures as low as -4 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit..
Overall, the Gooloo GT3000 is a lot of box for the buck, especially at this temporary $70 price tag.
