AstroAI S8 Car Battery Jump Starter 1500A – Portable 12V Lithium Jump Box with 3 Mode Flashlight, Power Bank & Smart Jumper Cables - for 6.0L Gas and 3.0L Diesel Engines

Great car jump starter. It’s powerful, compact, and very easy to use in emergency situations. It starts the car quickly without needing another vehicle, which gives a lot of peace of mind. The battery lasts a long time and it’s convenient to keep in the trunk or glove compartment. It also includes useful features like a flashlight and USB charging ports. Very reliable and a must-have for any car owner. Highly recommended 👍

When I took the AstroAI S8 out of the packaging, I looked at the unit and said to myself "you're kidding me this will never work but whatev's I'll give it a try". Boy was I wrong, this jump starter nails it every time. Early am, I took my dogs to the beach, returned, opened the lift gate, the pups jumped in and that was it, out of nowhere the battery died.....literally nothing was working. Got a jump and was back on the road. Back home, left it over night same thing. Luckily, I thought this would be a good time to buy a jump starter, cause you never know. I'd been toying with it for a while and already have a tire inflator/pressure monitor as a 'just in case'. Honestly, I didn't expect this to happen again but it did. My car is only a few years old, it's a BMW X5 4.0i. The jump charger not only needs to be able to crank & spark the engine but power-up all the monitors/heads-up display/driving/safety/management/seat passenger detectors/climate/level & motion sensors and way more stuff/systems in tandem with cranking the engine. By-Jove....it can do all of it, the car starts without any hesitation. Unfortunately, from a dead battery, the default is for all the electronics to fire up at once, so there's no 'lite start' option. I was really surprised. Useability is a sinch. Plug-in the jumper cables to the AstroAI S8 unit, pop the hood, connect the cables to the vehicle contacts (a tiny green LED by the Boost button start flashing), press the 'Boost' button at the base of the cables, get behind the wheel and start the car. I couldn't tell the difference between the jump start and regular start. It can even start the car with less than 75% charge. I can expect at least 4-5 starts from the device. It charges from a standard USB port (USB A) and when it's fully topped-up it stops charging. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I should point-out the car was jumped from designated contact points, not the battery. Also, as soon as I press the 'boost' button I can hear the car come to life and go through some sort of boot-up. By the time I get behind the wheel, my key is detected, everything is as normal and start the vehicle. There was an instance whereby the alarm went off, I just hit 'unlock' on the fob and that did the trick. On the downside, the jumper cables seem a little short (I had no problem reaching my car's contact points) and you will have no problems jumping the battery directly. Although, I've see in some vehicles the contact points are more than 18in apart, this will require some sort of extension. As a blanket synopsis: The AstroAI S8 works great, it easily starts a super systems-power hungry vehicle w. a 3.0 inline 6.

Perfect and did the trick. Much cheaper than the others and does the same thing.

Works great. Ideal for a quick jump start. Can be charged at home. Atleast 4 jump starts on a single full charge. Comes with a comfortable carrying case. Easy to carry, easy to use, clear instructions for safety.

Haven't tried it on a car engine - yet, but it jump started a generator. UPDATE: 3/9/2026 Originally gave it a 5 Star review, it now has a very generous 1 Star review. Good for one jump on a very small 12 volt battery. In one "Jump" it will fail. Can't even jump start a small 12volt generator battery. Can't charge the AstorAI, light won't go on. What a POS! It wasn't even in the car where temperatures can be extreme. It was always at room temperature between 65F degrees - 76F degrees. Look elsewhere. If you purchased this within the last 30 days from Amazon - return it. Update on the Update: 3/16/2026 Although the Jump Starter that I received had a problem the seller has stellar customer service. It doesn't get any better than that. So originally the rating was 5 stars, with the "problem" it went down to a 1 Star, however the seller's excellent customer service brings it to 4 stars

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I purchased this AstroAI S8 Jump Starter for my vehicle and honestly it’s one of the best car accessories I’ve bought. It’s compact, easy to use, and powerful enough to start my car quickly with no issues. I love that it doesn’t take up much space in my trunk and gives peace of mind for emergencies. Definitely worth the money! It also works as a power bank for charging your phone

I am so obsessed with this little thing! Car was in storage for 3 months and the battery was dead. I got this to try jumping it myself. INSTRUCTIONS: very simple. you attach red clamp, then black, wait for solid green light, press the “boost” button if the light is flashing, then try to start your car. *VERY IMPORTANT* I almost missed this in the instructions - after your car starts you must remove the device within 30 seconds or it can do damage. Also- although it arrived with full bars, I charged it before use as instructed and it continued to charge, stopping when it was actually full. So def recommended charging on arrival. HOW IT WORKED: It took several seconds for the green light to turn on, so be patient. If it doesn’t turn on, try redoing the clamps. Once the light was green I tried to start the car and it didn’t work twice. I almost gave up, but the dash lights came on the second time and the engine made a noise, so I pressed the boost button and tried again - and it started !! I think it only didn’t work at first due to my battery being dead for ages, because it worked immediately on subsequent uses. Yes, subsequent uses. I drove my car around for a couple of hours and everything seemed fine for the next day. Then after not driving it for a day it wouldn’t start again. I had forgotten to charge the device but it instantly worked and was at 50% charge after. I had a (correct) feeling it would keep happening every time I turned my car off but my mechanic was closed for the weekend and I had some errands to run- so I just brought the little guy with me. Since it’s a USB plug I charged it while I was at the gym and it was fully charged by the end of my workout! I then had to use it two more times before going home, at that point it had 75% charge. So you can get 2-3 jumps out of one charge for sure, maybe even 4! Now I thought my battery kept dying because this little guy + driving around wasn’t able to give it enough juice after being stored for ages, so I got a smart battery car charger and charged the car battery for the full 4 hours recommended. After that my car still wouldn’t turn on! Once again the little guy saves my butt - I was immediately able to jump it to take it to my mechanic, who confirmed my battery was absolutely shot from being in storage. Honestly I’m pretty impressed this little thing was able to jump a toasted battery so consistently when a full battery charge via a wall outlet didn’t even work. FINAL THOUGHTS: This thing absolutely rocks. Amazing value for the price. Some people complain about only being able to get a couple uses out of it before having to charge the device- but as mentioned I’m just amazed that this tiny, super light weight thing has so much power ! This thing is lighter than those portable batteries you use for your phone and just bigger than the length of my hand. So easy to toss in a bag and it charges so quickly. One thing I feel a little stupid about, for anyone else who is too used to charging their iPhone with a usb-C wall mount: the charger is USB A to USB C. At first I only saw the USB A port, so I plugged that bit into the device and the USB C end into my phone’s wall mount. I then saw the little USB C port in the side which labeled “in” and realized I had plugged it in backwards. So just make sure you don’t make that ditzy mistake or else I don’t think it would actually charge. The USB A ports are labeled “out” so I think it could double as a power bank for your phone or whatever which is cool!

Initial Thought: Amazing! I just got this S8 1500 had a great deal for Black Friday. I was looking at some other brands that seemed more expensive and heard that they were more reliable, but I figured I’d roll the dice since this was less than half the price of those other ones and seemed like a great deal with plenty of the safety features at the more high-end jumpers offer. I just got it in the mail the other day and had it charging last night. I have a fairly small Hyundai ELANTRA and have had friends where their batteries have died as well and it’s always caused an issue to go get the new one and install it, etc. or having to tow it if it’s in a really awkward spot. I wanted to completely avoid this and was satisfied with my purchase, but hadn’t gotten a chance to use it yet. Ironically, the night after I had it charged all the way up I threw it in the trunk of my car and when I went to the gas station later that day, I saw a big jacked up truck that’s battery had died (not sure the engine or if it was diesel or not though sorry). I saw these two guys trying to jump the big truck with a smaller car, and they had also already tried using a portable jump, starter, similar to this one with no success. I figured it would be a great time to try this out and try to help them, so I plugged it up and it was very simple to flip onto the battery. I noticed sparks on the Red side of the cable so I knew that it was connected and live so I had the guy try to start the truck, but still no luck. Before giving up though, I pressed the “boost” button with the green light next to it and BAM! The big truck started up right away and turned over normal! I’m really impressed with this little thing and especially the boost feature. Since I got to use it the first day that I had it charged and literally watched another car and another small portable jump starter both fail before using this one with success. Absolutely worth the price! I’m sure that it will easily start up my car and my girlfriend SUV.

A compact unit that easily starts your car. Car battery went dead and started the car no issues. Had to stop on way to garage and unit started me again with 2 lights still showing as a charge level. Handy to keep in the boot to get you out of those surprise moments when your car surprises you with a flat battery. Why did you choose this product over others?: Compact and has already proven itself. Battery life: Can't fault this item started my car twice and still had some life left. Charging capability: Easy to charge and holds it's charge well. Says to charge every month to keep it topped up but.kust say forget about this and a few.months on it doesn't seem to have dropped any battery life. Car start: Started my car twice without needing to be charged Well worth the money for that reassurance should you need it and stall your car it will get you up and running again. Build quality: Well built solid unit, clear instructions and good quality clips for the battery connections. Compactness: Small but powerful. Compact and can fit in you glove box or boot.

Acheté pour faire démarrer une batterie sur une 308 Diesel (de 2012), ça fonctionne parfaitement. J'avais une crainte pour pouvoir trouver un endroit pour mettre la masse car le câble est très court et sur ce modèle de 308, la masse de la batterie n'est pas accessible (seulement le plus), mais impeccable, j'ai pu trouver vers le capot de quoi mettre la pince noire sur la carrosserie pour faire masse. Et démarrage du premier coup 👍

Das Gerät ist einfach genial und macht genau das, was es soll, nämlich Starthilfe bei entladener Batterie geben. Wer hier negativ bewertet, der hat irgendwas falsch gemacht. Die Verpackung ist sehr edel, das Gerät auch, alles hochwertig und optisch ansprechend. Mein Mercedes A180 1,6 Liter startete nach 4 Monaten Standzeit und Überwinterung nicht mehr. Die Batterie hatte nur noch ca. 10,5 V statt 12 V. Also bestellte ich mir dieses Gerät hier. Es wurde sogar mit 100 % Akkufüllstand geliefert. Ich habe es gemäß Anleitung direkt an die beiden Batteriepole angeschlossen. Nach ein paar Sekunden erkennt das Gerät dann, dass es an eine KFZ Batterie angeschlossen wurde und die Connect LED leuchtet grün. Erst dann gibt es 12 V aus. Ich habe zur Sicherheit noch den Boost Knopf gedrückt. Man muss ihn kurz gedrückt halten, dann klackt es und dann kann man los legen. Da die Connect LED aber nicht grün blinkte, sondern grün leuchtete, war die Batterie nicht Tiefentladen und der Boost Modus wäre nicht unbedingt notwendig gewesen. Aber ich dachte mir viel hilft viel :D Danach habe ich die Zündung angemacht und das Fahrzeug startete sofort ganz normal ohne jegliche Verzögerung :) Anschließend hatte die AstroAI noch 75 % Akkufüllstand wie auf meinem Bild zu sehen ist. Ich gehe also davon aus, dass man mind. 4x Starthilfe mit Boost Funktion geben kann, ohne Boost wahrscheinlich öfters. Das aufladen mittels USB-C und meinem Smartphone Schnell-Ladeadapter ging auch recht zügig. Ich lade es jetzt immer voll und lege es dann für die nächste Panne in den Kofferraum. Da ich bald wieder in den Urlaub fliege und mein Auto dann am Flughafen stehen lasse, fühle ich mich jetzt mit der Starthilfe im Kofferraum auch deutlich sicherer. Fazit: Ich bin absolut zufrieden und konnte mir so den Batterieausbau zum externen laden sparen und das alles für nur 35 €, echt top :)

It worked perfectly on my v8
