Default Which Jump Box Do You Have

I'm looking into buying one of these, but thought I should ask what you recommend, and why.

I bought this one for my boat but they claim it will start cars, also. Haven't had a need to use it yet, though.

This has only 440 cranking amps which is too low for a car. Listen to Scotty...

the real problem is the battery clamps. i have had 2 that other people bought and the plastic clamp handles break so you can't get them on the batt terminal without doing the bear trap thing on your fingers.

This is what I have: I actually bought 2, 1 for each car. Very nice! I've had them for over a year and recently checked their charge. Still at max...

Amazon Amazon

And then purchased this case for it.

look up project farm on YouTube, he does a test on a few of them and one comes out on top, the Audew box
I've had a few of the NOCO boxes and the Audew is much stronger.

Same here...
Purchased in 2017
I also purchased what looks like a little larger case then what is in the link above:

I've been documenting how well the unit retains a charge.
7/31/2018 7/8 charged
9/2/2019 7/8 charged
9/17/2020 Full Charge
9/14/2021 Full Charge
6/12/2022 Full Charge

Good point on the case. The ones I bought are a little tight fitting and require a little effort to get the units packed in.

Thanks for the tip Neal. I just purchased the Audew 20000 from Walmart.com, 98.57 includes tax and shipping. This is a good deal for this product as Amazon doesn't have it and it's way more expensive on ebay.

My 2 cents, Jump boxes are basically like a battery but with jumper cables. Buy one from a place that sells them kinda a lot and don't let them sit dead.

I've been lucky with the one that I bought a few years ago but I keep it charged(plug it in for a few hours once in awhile) and barely use it to jump vehicles. I normally just use a wired batt charger and rarely need to, since I keep my batteries up or unhook them when not in use. I use it as a power supply once in awhile but now it won't keep a full max charge very long, still holds enough power to jump a low battery(prob not a dead one) and use as a power supply for small stuff. But all the guys I've know with them use it to jump vehicles and then don't charge the box back up until they need it again, so it doesn't seem to last as long.

I bought a few of these for both myself and others for Christmas. It got better reviews in a side by side comparision video than 2 different Noco model boosters.(dont be fooled by noco branding, its still a chinese booster as well)
After using the one fo myself and being impressed. mine came with a case and adapters for powering other dc loads. theres a video on you tube of a guy with a car lot jumping like 6 cars and suvs in a row with it, 2 of the vehicles had totally dead batteries. https://www.ebay.com/itm/35366909790...epid=505304789

From who though? Are you saying they are blocked from you being able to view the links for some reason? There are no pictures linked in this thread that I am aware of, only links to vendors like amazon and ebay where they are for sale. If those pages are blocked for you its possible you have some sort of child restrictions enabled mistakenly on your pc?
