DBPOWER Portable Jump Starter Review

In this decade, no one wants to wait around for another vehicle and a set of jumper cables. The DBPOWER Portable Jump Starter gives you a practical solution for emergencies. With 1600 amps of peak current and 18000mAh capacity, it can jump-start your car battery up to 20 times per charge. Also, with a standby time of up to one year, you can leave it in your car for when you really need it.

Most vehicle jumpstarters work the same, and the DBPOWER Portable Jump Starter provides few exceptions. It has the capacity to handle starting a 7.2L gas or 5.5L diesel engine. It also has a convenient slide-on/off switch that we like. Pressing-and-holding seems like an idea that has reached its end-of-life usefulness.

If you don’t attach jumper cables correctly, you can damage the battery, the cables, or even cause more serious issues. The DBPOWER Portable Jump Starter makes it easy by including electronics that warn you if you have anything mixed up.

First off, the DBPOWER Portable Jump Starter is basically foolproof. For example, an asymmetrical port means you can only insert the jumper cables into the booster pack one way. Then, color-coded jumper clamps make it nearly impossible to reverse the cables by accident. If you did, the jump starter won’t function as the system detects the proper polarity.

The system protects against:

The handy LCD screen also gives you information on the remaining battery charge as well as other basic information. A display on the cables themselves shows you the battery voltage and is handy for testing whether you need to activate the Boost button on the cables.

LED lighting options include a flashlight, strobe light, and SOS as well as a red emergency light. The light works well and we could easily see using it for emergencies. It certainly eliminates the need for an additional tool in your vehicle.

We also love the included zippered hard case as it holds the DBPOWER jump starter and all of its accesssories securely in place. The case holds up really well in the back of a vehicle.
