Jump pack recommendations?

[Combustion_King]

I have a set of cables in the back now, but I was thinking a jump pack might be helpful when solo, as well as camping for some Extra power if needed.

what’s good?

Lots of choices but, I went with VTOMAN flash Speed 1500

I think I have an audew. https://m.audew.com/Audew-1500A-Pea...To-8L-Gas-or-6_5L-Diesel-Engine-p-187382.html

Used it a couple times, works great, mine keeps a charge for a long time, I charge it quarterly, but I think it's usually only down 1 bar by then. So much easier to use than jump cables

as nice as this is- that’s not what I’m looking for.


The Gb40 one is more what I’m looking for, maybe even the 50

I use a GooLoo. Hold charge for a long time and has never let me down!

Avapow 6000A. Have two plus my friend has one. Works every time. Used numerous times to jump trucks in my work fleet.

I went through a phase were I had several NOCO products and accessories. And I’ve had 3 fail. Two chargers and one jump pack. None for any reason I discern. They were not abused, garage kept mostly, and the jump pack had less than three uses. It just rode around under the back seat of my truck in its NOCO case. Went to use it one day and it was dead. Quick internet search showed a large number of others with similar problems. Some Russian sounding fellow on YouTube was showing how some resistor or something on them just fails. Anyway, never again a NOCO for me. I’m trying a Hulkman 100 now:
HULKMAN Alpha100 Jump Starter 4000 Amp 32000mAh Car Starter with -40℉ Start Tech PD 65W Lithium Portable Car Battery Booster Pack for up to 10L Gas and 10L Diesel Engines https://a.co/d/085ipzl

I’ve had to use it twice so far and it’s been great, but I’ve only had it for 8 months.

The $50 jump packs on Amazon or eBay work great. I have started a diesel tractor with a stone cold dead battery no problem.

Nocu is what I use and recommend. Many different models. mine is 1500w

I work in a repair shop. We have the Noco gb70 and use the hell out of it. No issues whatsoever.

I'm always afraid of leaving a fully charged lithium battery in my truck, especially in the summer.

That said, I know a lot of people do it and haven't had any issues. My son has had a Anker Roav for 3ish years now, and I haven't found anything it wouldn't jump off - including our diesel tractor.

I’ve got a 3000A super capacitor one, so it siphons off remaining energy in the battery and then delivers it all at once for the jump. Can charge off of usb too. Haven’t used it yet.

just didn’t want worry about charging it or leaving it in the Bronco.

IMO lithium batteries are at their most dangerous when charging, not once charged. I leave my Noco pack in my bronco all year round (I charge it once a year) and I'm not worried one bit.
