DeWalt DXAELJ16 1600 Peak Amp Jump Starter Battery Booster with USB Power Station

I previously reviewed this harshly, as it failed to start the car at all. A week later it turns out the battery was actually dead like fully dead. It was pretty old so I probably should have investigated this first. Since I do not like leaving a review in error, especially if its entirely my error, I drained the new battery on purpose, and started it with this DeWalt booster/jumper, and it actually works really well, with no wierd "plug in, wait 15 seconds, then start within 30 seconds or you have to restart the whole process" procedure, and the capacity to start the car several times before requiring a charge. Also it is perhaps of note, as I found while investigating the battery/jump pack relationship this past week, that my car is a V8, which are apprently harder to jump in this manner. With that in mind, the performance of this box is FAR better than the cheap ones. The best one of those I have had lasted 2 winters, still had the wierd procedure requirement, and would only start the car twice on a full charge.

Reality is, you’ll probably use this more for other people than yourself—and honestly, that’s the point of being prepared. Compact, powerful, and exactly the kind of tool you hope sits quietly in the truck until someone’s battery gives up at the worst possible moment. Charges easily, feels solid, and gives a little peace of mind knowing you’re ready when the call comes.

Me encantó tiene buena carga. Luego luego prende mi carro

Used it on my brother's HD last weekend. Fired it right up.

Charging it to full takes about 5 hours, but my main concern lies in the battery reliability. I kept the unit fully charged in my car for about four months, expecting it to hold the charge. When I needed it to jump-start my brother’s car, it was completely dead. After recharging it, the product did work ( video attached) and successfully started the car, but that initial failure made me question its dependability in critical situations. 1 year review: It’s been a year, and I’m extremely dissatisfied with its reliability. I’ve used it four times, and it has only worked once. Every time I try to jump-start it, the battery icon disappears and the battery seems completely dead. It even failed to restart my motorcycle. I am changing my rating to 1 star from 3 stars.

Best purchase ever made . Car would not start so I pulled out this Dewalt starter. Easy three sets when charging 👌. Anyone that drives a vehicle should have this charger as a backup. Battery is durable and a must needed item.

Very lightweight and jump started 4 times and only dropped 1 bar works great. Bought the case that fits it as well, small enough to store anywhere in your vehicle for peace of mind always knowing you have a backup if you battery dies or just have it to help someone else out with a dead battery.

Ever need a jump start and find yourself unable to find anyone to help. With the cold temperatures this year I was having trouble starting our old car. It was parked and frozen in place pretty much, in an awkward way that I couldn’t get cables to it. I got this as my Hail Mary. Took a minute to get it connected well but the car started immediately. Color me impressed! This is a must have, I’m really glad I got it. The only thing that needs improvement is the cables. Those alligator clips are tiny and hard to get a good grip with. That’s why my initial struggle. They could use a little extra length too. With all the things coated in plastic in modern engines, it was hard to reach a good ground. Got the job done though.

It works Jumps my 6.7 on cold days, won’t jump it from dead not designed to though no complaints so far

handy product. Nice and compact. Way better then using someone else's car and having to carry jumper cables. Started the battery in my rav 4 that had run down after a couple of months not in use. bought as a failsafe for my EV in case the little battery is dead. (the 12 v battery starts the big one)

I had my SUV parked in the parking garage and right after work I tried to start nothing so I plug DeWalt Amp Jump Starter Battery Booster and bang it starts with no issues love it.

even using USB-C port to charge it, the max it takes is 10W. I work in a shop and use this thing very often and its got a little bit more guts than my NOCO GB40 which is 1000A (to be expected) bought it based on price (130CAD when i bought it) but I should have spent a little more for the NOCO GBX45 or even splurged for the GBX55 as they can do USB PD @ 60w or 65w i don't remember. biggest complaint is lack of an override feature, meaning if the battery in the vehicle is completely dead like 0v, the jump starter will not do anything, and you will have to find some small power source to attach to the vehicle to trick it. overall made very well i must say i like the clamps better than noco's offerings.

Battery gave out
