GOOLOO 1500A Peak SuperSafe Car Jump Starter

$49.59 after current $12 off clip coupon and another 23% off with promo code Q4Q3YKM2 (entered at checkout).

The GOOLOO brand seems to be fairly popular in jump packs, but I have no experience with it personally.

Yes, even-though the name sounds funny this is one of the better brands in the world of Chinese jump-starters… I have one, not this model and its pretty good at what it does. Mine is many years old and still holds good charge and was one of the first one to support quick charge input and output.

I also have a Gooloo jump starter. I have used it about 5 times with different people. It always works and the battery last a very long time. I might get another one for my wife.

Thanks, snagged one. I just put a jump pack in my wife’s vehicle and had been wanting one for my truck.

Thanks for the info,I just ordered 2 GooLoo with same day delivery plus some other stuff that was sitting in the cart for several days.

Thanks!
Just snagged 1, as my lawn mower needed a jump last weekend, which involved a 2 vehicle juggle, and then tearing apart 2 totes to find my cables.

Ordered the GooLoo this morning….they were just delivered with Prime same day delivery.

those car jumper things are SUPER BIG power banks!

Sure, but I think there is more to it. I think the car jumpers have additional capacitors in order to help deliver huge amounts of current to help crank the engine. Your typical power bank can’t do that.

Yes. I have a 30K bank that won’t do it.

i took apart a $50 broken one, no caps, just 3 flat prismatic li iron phosphate cells
caps that size would not provide more than .1 sec of what a starter needs
the batteries have to do all the work

i was just saying, the power bank function is a side benefit of these things

wle

Absolutely! :+1:

Out of the box the GooLoo showed 2 out of 4 blue dots

The USB C port is the only port for charging the power bank.It's labeled IN/OUT

The 2 USB A ports are labeled OUT

The BLUE USB A port is for fast charging

I connected the GooLoo with the supplied adapter and the USB A to C cable.

The included adapter is rated at 2000mA output but charged at 4.65V/2.47A

After the full charge I used the power bank feature to charge my Google Pixel 3XL using the C to C cable.

Worked well.Took about 20 minutes to go from 74% to 100%.I didn't time it.

Was the phone indicating “Charging rapidly,” like with a proper PD charger?

Thanks!

Yes,the phone showed the percentage and charging rapidly at the bottom of the lock screen plus time remaining till fully charged

Thanks! Just ordered one. Truck battery is 4 years old but struggles below 0 degrees F lately. Do need to replace it. Have older batteries on tenders which sometimes need help in very cold weather. Will report back when it arrives and gets used. Others I was considering are twice as much. Audew is what I was looking at. Amazon.com

I tried charging it with my own wall adapter. It’s pulling 2.9A @ 5.2V.

What mah rating is the Gooloo rated at? Didn’t notice what it was on the Amazon discription. I could have overlooked it I guess.

Edit- It’s 15000 mah. Just looked on their website. There isn’t a 1500a model but it looks like their gp1500 which is supposed to be a new release. Not sure if they are different. Specs look the same or close. I grabbed one just because they seem to get good reviews and “really” work.

It is the GP1500 model. 1500A is just a peak current rating.

By the way, does anyone know if the connector pictured below (in blue) is the industry standard EC-5 type? I wanted to pick up a cigarette lighter adapter for it. It looks like EC-5 to me, but some people said otherwise.

There's a 15V, 10A female power tip plug on the other side.
