How to spot a fake capacity Jump Starter

Dear ,

A question that gets asked on a daily basis in reference to our AGA A13 Multi Function Jump Starter is:

"What makes yours different from others i have seen?"
 
As an industry expert and market leader of multi function jump starters, iTechworld has a responsibility to give the truth to our customers.
 
Today, I am going to teach you how to spot the difference between a genuine rated capacity jump starter and one that has a fake capacity.
There are 2 different kinds of lithium battery used in jump starters. One is Li-PO, the other is LiFe. Most of the multi function jump starter we see in the Australian market is Li-PO.
The standard voltage of Li-PO is 3.7V.
Lets use the AGA A13 as an example, first we need work out what the Watt hours of the AGA A13  to do this we need to use ohms law equation (A x V= Wh)

The AGA A13 has a storage capacity 20000mAh which converted to amps = 20A

The Voltage is 3.7v

(20 x 3.7 = 74Wh)

Now we are going to work out how long it takes to charge up an AGA A13.

To do this we need to know the AGA A13 charging input which is 1A @ 15V.

Now we use the equation (Wh / charging voltage * charging Amps = Charging time)
(74Wh / 15V x 1A = 4.9 hours)

Are you still with me?
Lets have a look at some of the ones you can find on the deepest darkest part of your google machine.

This is a jump starter I found online. The capacity of this jump starter is 68800mAh mentioned-above.
68800mAh ( 68.80Ah x 3.7V = 254.56Wh) is 354.56Wh,if the 68800mAh capacity is true.
(254.56Wh / 12V x 1A = 21.21h) So the full charging time should be over 21.2 hours.
But according to the description the full charging time is just 3-4 hours.

The question I put to you is: if this company will lie about the battery capacity, what else have the lied about?

The disturbing thing about all of this is that almost all the ones i found online are mislabeled in some way, shape or form. The aim of this blog is to give you the tools and a point of reference so that you can cut through all the nonsense and make an informed decision when buying a multi function jump starter.

Kind regards
AGA TEAM

Battery Chargers vs. Portable Jump Starters

图片
It"s important to know the difference between battery chargers and portable jump starters. Vehicle battery chargers normally plug into a household outlet (110-120 volt AC) in order to recharge a battery. They normally take several hours to two days to get a full charge. Although the alternator in your vehicle has the job of charging your battery, sometimes an additional battery charger is necessary. This can be important to have if you use your vehicle sporadically or only during certain times of the year. While pretty useless in the event of a roadside breakdown, they are able to charge up your battery when you get home, saving you money and inconvenience down the road. Unlike a charger, portable jump starters (aka battery boosters, emergency boosters, battery jumpers, and jump boxes) can be used anywhere. They don’t need to be plugged into an outlet. They also don’t re-charge your battery, but rather provide the necessary amperage to crank the engine and start the vehicle.

Portable jump starters are like peace of mind in a box. No waiting on AAA. No depending on seldom-used jumper cables in your trunk. No flagging down a passing motorist to give you a jump. These cutting edge jumper packs are easy to use and safe. They’re also easy to store and maintain. But you still need to choose the right one. The right size, the right features, and a unit you can trust when you need it to perform. Otherwise, you’re stuck with a false sense of security and a car that won’t start. Below is everything you need to know about  AGA car jump starter  and how to choose the best one for you. The best portable jump starters have reverse polarity protection. If you connect the cables incorrectly, a warning light comes on. Some even sound an audible alarm. The best part is the circuit is not completed, so you have an opportunity to switch the cables before starting the car. With size, power and safety covered, you might think you’re ready to buy. Get rid of that notion right n

Here's a special AGA power bank that can jump-start your car battery

A car battery dying in the middle of nowhere is one scenario no motorist relishes. Yes, there’s that Motolite hotline that you can call to deliver a new battery to wherever you are. But that's assuming you have cash or a credit card on hand. And what if your battery is just temporarily discharged? While roaming inside the mall near our office, we discovered an interesting device inside the Handyman hardware store that can supposedly help you in case your battery fails--whether temporarily or permanently. It's called the AGA Power Jump, and it's essentially a large power bank that has special connections to jump-start your vehicle's battery. Based on the video presentation being shown, using the AGA Power Jump is so simple that even those not mechanically inclined can use it. In case you hear that dreaded sputtering when you try to start your car, just connect the included special jumper cables to your Power Jump, attach said jumper cables to your car's battery,
