I made the fire. At least the battery under Ars **.

Video at Amazon.com View-starting unaided, sounds like a fairy tale from 1001 nights. Yet for all the skepticism about miracles, as an autonomous and independent power actually works, although the tools to not originates from the Far East, but is quite banal manufactured in Asia. This has the same result, at least here at Amazon that an identical Product is sold under different names, manufacturers and prices. (!) Whole nine technically identical products can be found, as of 03/23/2015, after a short search with the term Car Jumper 15.000mAh - a daily updated balance of the sale price should be the logical consequence.

The emergency kit is supplied in a black storage bag which the protagonist, the extensive accessories and one - contains - hardly need guidance. A whole hodgepodge of adapters, cables, adapter plugs and other rigmarole is, after a brief overview, the scope of services explains more or less autonomously. Main discipline remains conceptually course starting weak / discharged car / motorcycle batteries, but the exorbitant supplied simultaneously allows the connection of all kinds of electric & mobile devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop, camera etc.).

The relatively low entry price regulates the level and quality of the supplied "background noise". High-quality accessories arsenal does not appear, met in sporadic use but its purpose. However, the black (leatherette?) Bag is a real nuisance, because it stinks not only bestial, but remembers even with very dedicated cleaning up and stowing all the items on the typical female handbag. Chaos in the bag is pre-programmed and can not be avoided, to universal and generally are - placed and distributed internal rubber mounts - a few.

Depending on a (current) power supply and a car cigarette lighter adapter to act as an energy source and as a framework for charging the power bank, charge via USB cable seems not provided. ATTENTION - concerning the power plug is not EU-compliant was rectified only provisionally, with my product manufacturer VicTsing is an adapter for the power port in Germany. I do not know to what extent this is the case with the other partners.

The core point. Was charged in a test developed and stored over the winter, very weak car battery for a decrepit Jaguar, which is driven only seasonal. A befitting and classic battery charger was ready in the corner, however, could be dispensed with this support, for the Power-Bank was actually able within a few seconds to load or to bypass the battery the car. A prerequisite for the function principle (and also acc. To instructions) a fully charged Power Bank. On the device itself, there is a five-stage LED display, the value of which has to reach the scale 4 in the minimum. This is feasible, especially as keeping the storage losses of battery cell is very limited.

More integrated gimmicks, the product hardly has to offer, apart from a relatively powerful flashlight that can be switched by pressing a button and supports various operating modes. Additional features of conventional chargers (fast-charge a battery, trickle charge, repair damaged battery segments, etc.) are completely absent. In summary, this JumpStarter only be used as energy bars for starting in an emergency. So just for the purpose, to suggest the name.

Conclusion: The trend I'm the unit (hopefully) rarely need or use. But it calms as faithful companion in the car, the nerves, is incredibly fast at hand and secures the current technical survival, even in the long term if there is no outside help is in sight and earshot. In this respect the JumpStarter is also the perfect holiday companion when traveling in more remote and isolated areas and at the same time still to a large piece of idiot safer to use than conventional jump-starting. All in all, an innovative, honest and extremely practical package on which a smelly storage bag also can not destroy much.

Addendum: A Car Jump Starter been asked for testing of one of the manufacturers. This fact does not affect my rating, which takes an unbiased and objective.
