 What's happening guys? Thanks for tuning back into the channel today as you could tell by the description We're gonna be doing something a little bit different. We're gonna be talking jump packs What are they what they've come to be? You know back in history the jump packs that you can see where these a lot bigger bulky case suitcase like things that weigh like 35 pounds, but battery technology these days has progressed Exponentially we are putting batteries in smaller sizes that is reaching peak amp output That are just the same amount as those bigger heavier chunkier batteries So I'm gonna go through three of these today in three different price points So you guys can get an idea of what they are how much they cost and what kind of output you're gonna be looking at For the money that you're spending Like I said historically in the way of booster packs. These are typically what you saw these things weigh about 30 pounds or so 25 30 pounds they put out at max 1500 peak amp hours and you know, they're just they work but they're big and clunky and you know Kind of a pain to carry around so what we've moved to Nowadays our jump packs that are like this As you can see for hand size these things have gotten pretty small. Yes, there is a price difference and yes, there is a difference in the amount of amp hours and output that you're gonna and how much you spend on these that's gonna make a big difference in what you're Looking for so we've got something a little bit on the lower end mid-range and a higher end There is obviously the spectrum is so much more wide than you could imagine But we're not gonna go through all of those Just you know a good mid-range of what generally you're gonna be looking for with your day-to-day applications in these First one we're gonna come to is our lower line one. This is our and by lower line I'm not saying lower quality or anything along those lines, but the more cost-effective one is our odd do This one has a 500 amp max peak output for your vehicle this one has a flashlight has two USB outputs the 15 volt one amp input and a 12 volt Output as well that you can put a little cigarette lighter on got a battery indicator to tell you how charged the battery is Nice compact little design and one this size you really could fit it in your pocket if you wanted to These things are at a really good price range They are right at $60 available on Amazon and I'm gonna be putting the link to these in the description as well So you guys can check them out the battery rating on this one for charging through the USBs like you could charge your cell phones This one is rated at right at thirteen thousand eight hundred milliamp hours So when you're charging your phone battery the average phone battery these days is between thirty five hundred and Four thousand milliamp hours, so this one is going to charge your phone or whatever it is Roughly, you know four or five times So it's a really good charge packet just to have in your car for those people who always let their cell phone die It's good for that and then also to have for a jump pack as well Something that's standard across the range between all of these and pretty much any jump pack that you get anymore It's going to be this version of circuit protection So I have got a vehicle behind me that we're going to be testing these out on This is a circuit protector that goes in and it's got our cable clamps that you would connect to your battery as well The circuit protection in this is able to sense the voltage and the polarity of the batteries that you have hooked up to So when you hook this thing up if you have it hooked up incorrectly You will see a red light and it will beep at you telling you hey big dummy. You've got this thing hooked up wrong Check it again. Hook it up right read the damn manual but so it's really easy to do and Then they also have a boost button that if you have something that's you know kind of testy and doesn't want to get real great Connection this will kind of bypass some of the circuitry and the safety sensors in it This one has that function the Duracell one does not have that safety bypass The genius boost HD does also have the bypass as well. So we're going to hook this thing up our test vehicle that we have is a 2017 Chrysler town and country Minivan and I've already discharged The battery in this system the standard battery is rated at 730 cold cranking amps and it does have a 3.6 liter engine So that's going to be rated at right around 292 95 horsepower Which is a pretty good sized motor for what you guys are going to be using these jump packs That's the range that you're kind of looking for you can get bigger jump packs that are four Bigger motors diesel engines and such but the smaller jump packs that were kind of going over are Going to be for motors, you know up to this Maybe a v8 but not really rated for that. So these are the ones that you're going to be testing So I will get this first one hooked up and we will show you how well it works All right, so we're going to show you guys what we've got to work with as you can see Testing here. We're at like 10 ish volts right around there on our battery and This thing's been discharged for a little while So this is simulating something along the lines of you just left something on overnight and it's you know kind of discharged So first off, I want to show you that if you hook this thing up wrong what happens So the red light lights up that you have the reverse polarity It says no dummy hook it up the right way So we will hook it up to the correct way and Then it says it is correct. It is good to go and you should be able to start the vehicle so before No start and if we hook the jump pack up, we'll see how easy it starts With the jump back. It is said is correct So that made it pretty simple like I said, we're only a couple of volts down You know three or four volts down so it's not way way dead But that's the other safety feature that these things have to be able to read the correct Voltage and the correct polarity of the battery There has to be some voltage left in this battery if there is not it can't read the polarity and Therefore it will not allow this to start because it doesn't know if you have it hooked up right or wrong So that is the one downfall to these jump starters is that if your battery is dead dead like below three volts It will not work unless you have an override or a boost function to say I know what I'm doing Go ahead and put out the voltage anyways So if it has below three volts, you're kind of out of the loop on a couple of the other ones But this one has a boost button that if you were at a dead dead battery It will charge it up. It doesn't have a whole lot of output because it's only at you know peak 500 amps I'd say it's probably Maybe at 200 amps after your peak, but that's probably what you're looking at for something this size So as you see that worked that's what I said before it was rated at 13,800 milliamp hours for charging just standard cell phones and everything like that it comes in this nice little case That you can kind of put everything away and put that in there Zip it all up and you can have that case to put in your little glove compartment It's got your other charge cables that it does come with which that's a pretty neat little add-on everything from an old iPhone to the newer iPhone to a newer mini micro HDMI cable so pretty cool And then your other charging cables that you need for the unit as well So all in all pretty good unit, especially when you're talking about 59 60 bucks. So That is the jump pack from Audu the next one we're going to be going to is Kind of a midline one from Duracell This one is 80 bucks on the Amazon 79 95 I believe This one is rated at 1,100 peak amps on starting it is rated at red run 18,000 I think right around there mill amp hours on the battery Capacity so this one is going to charge things a little bit more It also does have the flashlight on the front strobe functions and everything just the same as the other one here in the front this one has an HDMI out or The micro HDMI and the USB I'm sorry. This one is for charging Charging only this is your USB output this kit Does not come with any extra cables other than the one to charge and the one other USB for it and then These for your jump pack purposes so like I said 18,000 mill amp hours for cell phone and Little batteries for charging those so this is rated a bit higher on that aspect and the other one was Rated at 500 amps peak output. This one is rated at 1100 amps peak output Roughly the same size a little bit bulkier. I'll get this one to compare so About the same size This one's a little bit thinner So and they weigh about the same as well So we're gonna hook the Duracell up to the van after I get it discharged back down to the same exact level So we're working at a van with this same exact voltage discharged All right, so we'll see where we're at now voltage wise We're at the same Voltage right around nine volts. So we are discharged make sure it won't start Just clicks so we are low and we'll see what the circuit protection on this one does So a little red light flashes and it says no dummy. You've got it hooked up backwards Now unlike the other two chargers this one Does not have an overrider a boost function So this one is good for your teenage kids who like to push the buttons and try to figure out how things work and Chuck each other This one cannot and will not shock you in any way shape or form so this one is full proof you can't do it wrong and So when we hook this one up correctly We can see that we have a little green LED light that comes on tells you yes, you've got it hooked up correctly So we've got this thing on powered on full battery See if it starts her up and as you can hear this one was beeping right there This one beats also and flashes a green light to remind you. Hey, this thing started up Don't forget to unhook your clamps So you don't drive off, you know close the hood and drive off with it It beeps and tells you hey make sure you unhook this thing again. So that's pretty cool It's got you know the extra safety measures so for your teenage kids I would say this is probably one of the best ones that you can't mess this thing up You absolutely cannot it's rated for a decent amount. You know a little bit more than the Audu Jump pack. So this is a good mid-range one that I would recommend to anybody Let's go see what kind of case it comes with Okay, so the Duracell it comes with the battery the jump packs and the charging cable for the unit and It comes in this sleek little case that you could stuff everything in cinch it up and Put it in your vehicle. This stuff is double-lined and it seems pretty pretty heavy-duty It's not a chintzy, you know a little bag But it is a bag as compared to the Audu that has a little bit of a harder case to it so that's the Duracell jump pack and Now we're gonna be moving on to our big boy This one is the highest line of the bunch. This one is rated at 2,000 peak amps output. This is the genius boost GB 70 This one runs a hundred and eighty nine dollars. So it is a little over a hundred dollars more than the last one It has Outputs this is one that hooks up to a cigarette lighter Cable that it comes with and a USB as well Inputs you have the micro USB and a 12-volt input as well So this one has a 12-volt input that you can charge this one back up off of your car 12 volts Which is usually actually a little bit faster than hooking it up to just a micro USB Wall charger input something along those lines. So this one again Power function it does have a light a lot brighter than the other ones But again, this thing is a lot bigger heavier duties Battery pack this one is rated at 27,000 milliamp hours when you're talking about charging your little cell phones and stuff at that 2.1 to 2.4 amp range So this one is also quite a bit bulkier as well so size-wise we are You know quite a bit wider We are half again as wide in another inch and a half to two inches longer than the other ones as well The cables are thicker and the clamps are larger as well This one does not come with any kind of big, you know fancy little case or anything to hide it in like the other ones This one has the Battery indicator as well telling you at what percentage the battery sucked up to and on and off button And then it also has the little The flashlight one and then the little exclamation point indicator This is your bypass just like was on the odd do one as well that you can bypass it If you have a battery that is very very dead. So that's a cool function So size-wise it is quite a bit bigger. So let's go hook it up to the van and see what we do function-wise So voltage-wise I know this one is a lot bigger battery So we're going to give this one a little bit more of a work for our money And I've got this thing discharged down to five point eight five point nine volts So as you can hear the IPM is clicking away because it's got super low voltage It wouldn't even tell me to let allow me to turn the key and the function off. So it's pretty dead Here in a couple minutes it would go flat out and it'd be super dead. So we're gonna hook it up backwards here And we see we get a little indicator exclamation point saying dummies you've hooked it up backwards. So that's good and we will hook it up the correct way then then we will power the unit on It sees that it has the full charging and the clicking is stopped See how well it charges and starts That started up very fast Now I'm gonna have to say that I have used this one quite a bit in the past I've purchased this one for more use in my general day-to-day use here in the shop So I know what this thing can do. I have pushed this thing to the limits I have used this thing in temperatures that are much colder than you know, normal people would want and It works fantastically. I've even used this one up to a Ford diesel truck That was pretty dead in the wintertime. We had to use this in another small jump pack on a Diesel that was absolutely dead like had no battery juice at all So, you know one of these and then a smaller jump pack did that but these I wouldn't hesitate to use on Hemi's v8's even My diesel truck the Duramax. I've used ones like these to Jump those as well. Actually one of the guys up at truckmasters meet that had the Dodge up there He needed a jump and that came from this pack right here So it works and trust me on this one This one is tried and tested and I would vouch for this one any day of the week if you can Muster up the extra hundred bucks on it. This thing has the extra ass to go along with it Well, that's all I've got in the way of jump packs for showing you guys I want you guys to leave a little comment down below Let me know which one of these three if you guys have used any of these before How well they have been how well they work for you or something along the lines work Hey, I'd like to see some bigger ones or I'd like to see some smaller ones in the future I might be able to do some more testing, but I just chose these three I had a couple of these donated and I used the other a little bit larger one of my day-to-day use I think this would show a good roundabout usage of the jump packs that you guys would be able to purchase in your and use in your day-to-day lives and So I don't know. We'll see which ones you guys think that you like the best For the price you guys let me know which one you guys like the best and which one you think would work better for your application Thanks for tuning in again.
