Halo jump starters portable#
500 AMPs is the minimum amount that a portable jump starter should offer because even though the HALO Bolt 58830 advertises that it can jump starts cars, ATVs, and boats, it can’t jump-start a completely dead battery. That’s a good amount, but it’s not amazing. The jump-starting feature is also a big part of this power bank, and the power output for it is 500 AMPs. 65W may be useful for powering a lamp, but really, we found it to be used as a power source for a laptop charger. We say, “More importantly” because the three-prong AC outlet is meant for laptop chargers. The AC outlet is one of the highlights of the Bolt 58830, as you’re able to power an appliance or, more importantly, a laptop charger. Not bad, but for a power bank that features an AC outlet and that’s in this price range, we would expect either a Quick Charge port or a USB-C Power Delivery port. The two USB ports don’t feature any fast charging tech like Quick Charge, so you have both ports that output a standard charging speed of 12W (5V/2.4A). Like the power capacity, the Halo Bolt’s power output is pretty good, but nothing amazing.
Halo jump starters full#
If you’re starting from a full power capacity, the Halo Bolt 58830 power bank can jump-start sedan cars about 200 times, but when it comes to jump-starting SUVs, you can expect about 90 jump starts. In terms of how many times you’re able to jump-start a vehicle, it depends on what you’re trying to jump-start.
Since it has a 65W power output, if you’re powering a laptop charger that’s within that power range, then you’re able to power it for an hour. Powering an appliance or a laptop charger with the AC outlet can only be done for an hour. Smartphones now use fairly large batteries, such as Samsung Galaxy S20 using a 4,000mAh battery, while the S20+ has a 4,500mAh battery and the S20 Ultra has an even larger 5,000mAh battery. When it comes to charging with the USB-A ports, you’re mainly going to be charging smartphones with it, and if that’s the case, you’re only able to charge most phones to full power about three to four times. Okay, so what can you do with a 15,900mAh power capacity with the two USB ports, an AC outlet, or a 500 AMP jump starter? Well, quite a few things, but not as much as you thought you could. This is nowhere near the claimed power capacity or the capacity they want you to think this charger has. This Halo Bolt has three 5,300mAh batteries, so we can deduce that this power bank has a 15,900mAh power capacity. At the same time, this one is labeled as 58830mWh. When it comes to showing how much power capacity a portable charger has, brands will almost always use Mili Amp Hours or mAh. As the 58,830mWh refers to jump-starting capabilities that this power bank has. So you should not be fooled that this is a 58,830mAh power bank, that’s far from the truth, and it seems that the brand placed that into the name to make it sell more.
The Halo Bolt is quite a well-known product for its versatility and ease of use, making it a great choice for being a portable power bank that can do a little bit of everything. That said, there are different degrees of portable power stations, and this Halo Bolt 58830 is more of a hybrid, with it being a power bank that uses an AC outlet and has a jump-starting function. Portable power stations are an even more reliable type of power bank, and ones that can jump-start your cars can be lifesavers. Power banks are among the most useful chargers that you can own.
