I've had the same result. Handy little toolkit I bought over 5 years ago, still works today.

Awesome! Glad it's working great for you!

How is it working 10 months later?

It has been 3 months and it's still working great. Fortunately I don't need to jump the car too often, but I usually keep it inside the car to charge my phone or other USB devices. The charger is much faster than the USB connections in the car.

GK Thompson kind

I've learned you should attach the clips to the car battery, then plug it into the jump battery. Great device to have!

@@earthling1984 Hello Earthling, I was very impressed by your detail video review of anker jump starter, do you have interested to review an upgraded version from us?

Perhaps they made the instructions better now... Sure didnt say much of anything back in 2015...

@@earthling1984 Good point! However, chinglish doesn't seem to have changed much over the years! Have a great day! 👍😉

Mine still works too. I've only used it a few times, but, it sure had come in handy! I just charge it up every 3 to 6 months to keep it full enough to use.

Yeah, mine still works! But, sometimes I just have to connect it a few times. Then I get the solid green light and it's good to go.

I've heard of the ones that use your cigarette plug. Never tried those myself. Those plugs aren't made for high power. I would be worried about sending so much power through the little wires it uses. But, I've heard they do work, just take some time. I'll have to give them another look.

Not sure if it is too late, but we have a 2008 Prius 2 and the exact same portable jump starter. I lost count how often we used it due to leaving on the ceiling lamp or something else. Just in case if you are wondering how you jump start your Prius: 1️⃣Turn off all power consuming lamps and what not to lessen the load on the lead battery and jump starter to help the jump starting process. 2️⃣Open the hood. There is a black cover over the fuse box on the right. Pull it off and you will see a fuse bank and a red cap that covers the positive terminal that connects to the lead battery in the trunk. Pull the red terminal cap aside, it has a hinge on one side and is held closed with a clip on the other side. 3️⃣Connect the the positive (red) clip of the starter to the positive terminal of the car in the fuse box first, then connect the black clip to a blank, unpainted metal piece under the hood. As in this video shown, there might be still an alternating blinking between the red and green LED of the starter pack. Sometimes the connection might be bad and you might have to fiddle with the clips a bit. But sometimes it is just a deep discharged battery that takes a while to pre-charge and the starter goes green when the lead battery gets over a certain voltage level. With our Prius that was standing 6 weeks unused (and was probably drained due to a lamp) it took like 2 minutes until the starter pack gave its OK with a green LED. 4️⃣❗❗When you have put in your key fob don't start up your Prius into "ready" state right away. First keep your foot on the brake and wait for the brake pump to kick in, wait until you hear that it stops (takes less than 10 seconds) and just then push the start button of your Prius. This is just an extra step to even out the load on your lead battery and the starter pack. If you push the brakes and the start button at the same time the board computer and the pump will draw more amps together as when you wait until the brake pump is finished. It very well and pretty much always will work if you push the start button right away, but in case it doesn't you can take that extra step. Sometimes this trick might work even without a jump starter. 5️⃣After a succesfull start into the "ready" mode of the Prius you should pull off the starter pack, it should not be left on the terminals for a prolonged time when the Prius system is running, or even any other type of car is started. All in all, jump starting a Prius should be a rather easy and successful process as it doesn't come even close to the peak cranking power of those jump starter devices (400 amps). At its worst it needs about 60 amps for a short time, usually 30 amps. The lead battery of a Prius doesn't provide power to crank the engine, but the high voltage traction battery does. All the lead battery needs to do to start the Prius is just providing enough power to the board computers to check if everything is OK and then connect the HV battery to the system with a contactor. From then on the lead battery is charged and the HV battery is taking over.

And help you first

My battery is always 100

Amazon

"Those post?"

No, really! Baking soda (distilled) H2O solution and a brass wire brush. After that get a battery post grease from your auto-parts store.

I got mine on Amazon too. Started my v-8 suv.

Running a bit will not fully charge the battery. Not good to leave battery in a partial charge state.

I admit, it usually just sits in its case. I don't use it for usb charging. But, I did just use it a couple weeks ago to jump a car. Still works! I charge it up full every 6 months to keep it ready to jump a vehicle. Still works like new. I've jumped probably 7 vehicles over the past 4+ years. Worked great every time. Never tried a v8 engine. But all 4 and 6 cylinder engines have started right up!

@@earthling1984 Thank you for updating your experience with this jumper. My last one "Micro-Start' stop holding its charge after just two years and I tossed it. I will get the Anker jumper :).

@@paulc2548 I think many may be made by the same manufacturer. I have Vekkia brand and it’s exactly like this Anker brand.

Yes. But, this is best as a jump starter and emergency power. If you want a battery to charge laptops and phones you can get one that is much smaller, yet, more powerful. This requires a larger size because it can jump car batteries.

+acephantom903 Well, that's what instructions said. I agree, when I jump start with cables I put the negative on a metal piece under the hood.

Earthling1984 My jump says to ground as well. I guess maybe because it is a different battery type that is what is needed in this case? No clue. I like my older style jump battery. It comes in handy every couple months or so because I work in an area with lots of older folk who let their cars sit aside for long periods of time without use.

+Junior The 5th yeah, needs daily handling and lots of patience.

ok thanks

You can definitely jump start it with the Anker. It may smell like burnt hair tho.

benjamin braun Yes. Didn't you watch the video?

+Vero It's pretty neat!

+Earthling1984 Post a video of the first time you have to use it for real! Would be interesting to see how it goes.

Vero I'll try to :) I don't often need it for myself (except for this time my Jeep was dead). But I do often help other people if I ever see someone with a dead battery.

AGM batteries work just like lead acid. I charge mine with a 'Battery Tender Jr.'. Once in your XJ, your alternator will charge it, but, if you let your car sit a long time, battery tenders are great.

+Abdullah Khaled 10k as I understand it is. you lose some energy in transfter as well. I'd say a bit more than 2x.

sorry i didn't understand +Earthling1984 what does u mean by 2x+ ? otherwise how many times this product able to charge my laptop 43000mah

Abdullah Khaled. The 600a is the CCA=cold cranking amps. The 15000mah battery on this one could charge your phone 4 times. In order to have 10 charges you would need to buy a 36,000mah battery bank charger. And honestly I don't know of a good recommendation for you since more battery banks are chinese and they lie about the size of battery their products have. So they may say it has 20,000mah but in reality it probably has 2 4000mah batteries for a toal of only 8,000mah.

when comparing capacity , you have to compare also the voltage. 12V - 3700maH is three time more capacity then 3.7 V - 3700 mAH

so this car pack has 3 parallel rows X 3 serial rows of ordinary mobile batteries. this pack contains of 9 mobile batteries. so you could charge your phone ca. 9 x times

Ron Thompson I just got it on Amazon. I paid 49 dollars I believe. Amazon prices fluctuate often. Can google search, "anker jump starer".

Thanks for the info ,I holding eBay will be cheaper,most of the time they are,I use to shop Amazon too,until I saw how much cheaper eBay is,I like your video a lot,I paid 61.00 dollars at Wal-Mart for a battery Pac that didn't work .now I try to do my homework before I buy

Still you may want to compare prices,it's takes a few seconds.plus I got tired of Amazon trying to take money out of my account for membership,a membership I never wanted,my friend tried to shop there one time,and with out asking took money out for a membership he didn't want either.be careful with amazon

Ron Thompson I'm an amazon prime member, have been for years. I like and need my prime. Free 2 day shipping on most items, and also I use Fire TV so I get tons of free shows to watch. If you don't want prime, just be careful when ordering and make sure you don't sign up.

Can i use this to motorcycle battery?

It isn't rated to do so, but, it very well might.

There are other options out there (especially since this is a few year old video). So, you may go for something newer / more powerful.

I have a 5.0 L V8 and it started it so it just might.

We have two of these. One is and Anker and the other is an Aukey. You are working on mAh and not amps. Both tell you to connect the RED first. If you don't, the light won't let your car to start. They both work beautifully IF you follow the directions. They don't work like a normal batter charger.

+george aura look on amazon

Or eBay

+eatmeatleet I'll have another update soon :)

It's an old Jeep. It has lots of quirks :P

Actually I had a flat car battery not long ago and barely managed to turn the car on. After I turned on my headlights, all sorts of lights in the dashboard came on, including the airbag. It turned out that the alternator was not charging the battery and since the battery itself was low on voltage, the instrument cluster lights and even the engine temp. needle were going all crazy.

King Parodije Sketch?

dunno yolo There are different models of different power You can get stronger ones. Also, I'm pretty sure the alternator does and will fully charge your cars battery. Of course go for a long drive or let idle for a long time. But, it will fully charge your battery. Having something like a battery tender is a good idea. I have one and use it when my car sits for more than a couple weeks without driving.

I worked for a auto parts store and the alternator can not fully charge battery it is a myth. Best option is to also purchase a charger. For best results

dunno yolo You just contradicted yourself. First you said alternator can't fully charge battery. Now you say that's a myth (so it can charge all the way)..... Maybe you are just having troube with the English language and your point is comming off wrong?

Alternator can not charge your battery to full capacity when its drained. Needs to be charged with battery charger or trickle charge it. That make more sense ?

dunno yolo But that's not true. Alternator can charge fully. Trickle charge better for the battery But either way, can fully charge from alternator. You were lied to by your auto parts store. They probably say that to sell more products (chargers).

Ricky Roberts I hooked it up exactly as the DIRECTIONS SAID TO!

brickley2000 Depends on car battery. This device can be had for $50 to $80. My last car battery was over $100. Also this is portable and able to bring anywhere and help jump anyone in need. Also it serves more purposes as it has USB charge ports and a light and such. If your car battery is fully dead, of course get yourself a new car battery. This is to jump a battery that was drained on accident by leaving a light on or whatever. This isn't something to use daily on a car with a bad battery.

Altima?

optima, autocorrect sorry.

Nathan Deneault Never had an issue with mine. Only had this one Great battery. Lasted over 5 years. But, it did start going bad. That being due to the fact that this Jeep was one of 3 vehicles I own/owned. It doesn't have AC so I rarely, if ever, drove it in summer. It would sit for 2 months and still start! But, I let the battery get too low too many times.

I had a redtop that the top weld between cap and bottom came unglued/welded.. I traded it in and paid difference for yellow top. I had another 2 yellow tops and out of 3, I had only 1 that worked. I called Optima and they were rude and would not stand behind their product. That is all, I don't believe in that company at all and now even Autozone platinums are essentially the same.. so old tech and catchy marketing and a colored top.. all you get with Optima.

Blah blah blah. There is a thing called google. Go search it for "Anker Jump Starter" and look up any technical specs yourself.

Also, I specify it has 10,000mAh and also mentioned it is 400 peak amps, and will start a 3L gas engine. I showed it starting my 4L inline 6 cylinder Jeep (which was higher than their specs, but, it worked). So what specs/stats did you want more than that? This was all in the first 2 minutes of video... Did you not listen?!?!?!?

started my 2011 4Runner just fine last night. Go bitch somewhere else.
