Clore Automotive 1700 Peak Amp 12 Volt Jump Starter - Red

The cables are a good length which makes it work for our Hybrid vehicle. Good quality and sturdy.

I've owned this JNC770R for about 18 months and it's been completely reliable. Used it on my 2010 Honda Accord several times when I left lights on, and helped neighbors with trucks and SUVs. The 1700 peak amps handles everything I've encountered. The 68" cables give great reach - you can easily position the unit on the ground while reaching the battery. The digital voltage display is genuinely useful for checking battery health before attempting a jump. Heavy-duty clamps grip securely even in cold weather. It's definitely heavy at 23 pounds, but that's the trade-off for real power and reliability. The built-in charger makes maintenance simple - I charge it every few months and it holds charge remarkably well through temperature variations. One thing I appreciate: the way it maintains consistent power delivery reminds me of working with convolution algorithms in my day job - you want reliable output regardless of input variations. This unit does that beautifully. Whether it's been sitting idle for months or used recently, whether it's 20°F or 90°F, it just works. My friend Nova likes to say that the best tools are the ones that work when everything else fails. This jump starter has proven that principle repeatedly. Highly recommended for anyone wanting serious jump-starting capability without relying on another person's vehicle. Pros: Powerful, reliable, excellent cables, useful voltage display, holds charge well Cons: Heavy (but worth it for the power)

I've seen a lot of YouTubers using jump boxes from this brand and decided since I'm always working on things, I'd like to have one too. I pikced this particular version because it has a voltage readout which comes in handy. For example when working on the charging system of my mini excavator, I hooked this up and noticed that the charging system wasn't working. Troubleshooting the problem revealed a blown fuse. I replaced the fuse and immediately after, I saw the voltage rising to around 14.2 volts on the display. Saved me from having to go grab a meter. It also comes in handy to simply know the charge state. This is not a lightweight jump box. It's relatively heavy, but is well made and has performed perfectly for the year I've owned it. Another thing I use it for is when I need 12 volts for testing motors or other accessories. Again, flawless performance. It also holds charge very well. I've charged it once in the last year. I'm sure I'll get many more years of service out of this jump box. While it's not dirt cheap by any means, I think the value you get for the money is really solid.

Out of the box, it's jumped a Cummins 3x in a row, a Honda Element 1x, a Ford 6.2 Gas 2x, and a 60's Massey Ferguson 202 tractor multiple times. It showed 11.8v as of today after multiple attempts to get the tractor running. I like that it's simple. Just a nice, slim jump pack, no air compressor, or other secondary function. The angled tip clamps are far more useful than I thought they would be. As a power bank for devices, this is great for car, canoe, or other conveyance type camping, but it's size and weight make it impractical for hiking or backpacking, which is fair since that is not what this was designed for. Great all around booster/power bank that focusses on just being a great power supply with easy to use and understand controls. Good power with a quick delivery. Very minimal ramping up to full power delivery, so great for starts in cold weather. I highly recommend it.

Solid and well built. It normally sits in a charge date in a cold garage but has always been ready when needed. I've had to use it twice and it's worked great both times. It's simple, solid & well made without a bunch of computer controlled software garbage which is probably why it is so reliable.
