Smaller Engine Car Jumper Powerbanks

When it comes to car jump starter powerbanks, everyone seems to make a beeline for the big guns, heading straight to read the reviews and descriptions on some of the most powerful portable car jump starters currently out there available for sale to the public. It seems like everyone wants the most powerful charger with the biggest powerbank battery capacity. I'm even guilty of this, even though my car at the moment only has a 1.3 litre engine. I opted with the huge 800Amp Guluman model. But really its far too much for what I need with such a small engine car. So really, any jump starter would most probably do the job in being able to get it started.

The super powerful DBPOWER 1200A

I guess I thought that with a more powerful model, the chances of it starting the car are considerably higher because its built to be able to start cars with much bigger engines. So mine should be no problem. This thinking is logical, but step away from trying to buy the biggest and "best" battery charger and there are so many smaller models that are much cheaper in price, smaller in size, and appear to be really capable. These mini models would be just fine with car engines sized between 1.0L to 1.4L. Two that stand out are the RAVPower 300A 8000mAh (comes with a year and a half warranty) and the DBPOWER 300A 8000mAh (older model). Both are the same price.

If you've read through a lot of reviews, and know some of the best brands in this marketplace, you will be aware of how much brand matters with these products. However, this can also be misleading. Read more about that below. There are so many cheap starters out there that might seem like a good deal in terms of price, but some have numerous reviewers stating that they had it stored in their car in case of emergency, and when that time came, the jump starter just wouldn't work. Typical! At the very time when the product really needs to shine, it lets the buyer down miserably.

This is one of the worst "features" about these products. The problem is, when a person buys one of these devices (regardless of brand reputation and size), they usually don't need to use it straight away and have bought it as a safety / backup item to store away in the boot just in case they may need it one day. So it gets bought, not fully tested, and then lets the person down. We've seen these types of reviews coming through in spurts across basically ALL models, but can you imagine the sheer amount of potential cases out there of portable starters not working that haven't been discovered yet because the buyer has not yet needed to (try to) use it. I bet there's a lot! Got one in your boot that you've never tested? Do it now to be on the safe side!
