One of the newer portable glove box jump starters released, was the RAVPower 14000mah 1000A car jump starter. It is an upgrade for the older\u00a0 500A model. This compact boost pack was one nice little unit. If you end up getting a flat battery you need to have had a reliable way of restarting your car.<\/p>\n

We reviewed the best top 8 car jump starters a few months ago<\/a> and it was good to see this little unit make the cut.<\/p>\n

RavPower makes a whole lot of electrical devices like boost packs, phone chargers, network devices, cables, and much more. It’s fantastic to see them branching out into a portable power bank and car jump starter. As RavPower has a background in electronics its good to see that they have incorporated some special safety features into one of the biggest jump cable protection circuit boxes around.<\/p>\n

\"inside<\/p>\n

If you open up the jump cable circuit protection device, you will find that it’s just full of electronics. With protection for all Short circuits, reverse polarity, low voltage, reverse charging, and high temperature, you can rest assured you and anyone else who uses this jump starter will be safe.<\/p>\n

I know if my wife is stranded somewhere remote and unable to call the roadside assistance, she can jump-start the car herself and she and the car will be safe.<\/p>\n

RAVPower 14000mah 500A portable car jump starter review<\/h2>\n

It was time to take this charger into the workshop and give it a thorough review and run for its money in a mechanics environment. Dealing with flat batteries nearly every day, the boys were happy to test this unit, rather than lug about the huge old sealed lead acid battery to jump start cars and trucks.<\/p>\n

We had a notepad next to the Ravpower 14000mAh with instructions to not charge it until flat and to record the number of uses. The user manual says you should be able to get 20 jump starts. We got 14. This was a mixture of small cars, full-sized sedans, and some four-wheel drives plus 1 motorcycle. So it wasn’t an exact science but it proves this little beast has some serious juice in it.<\/p>\n

Each successful jump-start of a vehicle dropped the capacity by around 5%. After the jump-start, the flat batteries were placed on a Noco battery tender<\/a> overnight to see if the batteries can take charge and be brought back to life. 9 times out of 10 the Noco g3500 battery tender was able to fully recondition and charg back the dead battery.<\/p>\n
