Portable jump starters

[d.malan9]

Has anyone used a portable jump starter? I have seen plenty of them availabe online to purchase starting from Rs.6000.00. Do you recommend using them?

Yea they work about 3 - 4 times on a diesel, petrol can go more, but avoid ene charge vehicles like wagon R etc

I don't know any proper brands, mostly generic Chinese ones but they work, good for an emergency

Bolt power- I am also looking and have read couple of reviews and supposed to be good.A bit higher on the pricing side though.

While I was looking to buy portable jump starters mainly I found 2 type of chargers (There could be more I just did some limited search). One type has capacitors that can use existing charge left on the car battery and gives a boost to start. This one was bit expensive. There was another type that the portable charger has a battery where we need to keep it charged and that battery can give boost to start the car battery. They were cheaper than the capacitor type portable chargers.

So personally I use these 2 portable jump starters. (links are only for reference, they were not the exact sellers I bought from) 

• AUKEY 18000mAh Jump Starter with 600A Peak
• DBPOWER 1200A Peak Portable Car Jump Starter

 

Here is an example using the "Aukey Jump starter" (Only to show that it works, this video was unplanned and i'm not a professional product reviewer) -
