WOLFBOX Jump Starter Review

[JTBros]

Yeah, this isn't a review. This is an advertisement.

They asked me to post something as well. Just came up with general thoughts but didn’t have a method to test.

Then I'm curious why they thought you would be a good person to review the product?

This really doesn't seem any different than the gazillion random-alphabet named products on Amazon.

They gave me one for just commenting on their release thread. Wasn’t even asking just an off hand comment.

Yeah, they asked me too, as I also commented on that thread, but I already had a supercapacitor jump starter, and didn't want another, so I kinda ignored it. Were you able to test it with the car battery disconnected?

I didn’t even know it was an option, but with the lack of testing they had done (no UL rating etc) I may get a lithium battery case for it lol.

I don't think he tested a "wolf box", but I watched Project Farm review & test 12 jump packs, and I'm planning on buying an off-shore brand "GOOLOO GP4000" based on the review.

Jump starters are a must-have in any vehicle. They do hold their charge well and have multiple charging functions.

Well, I'm not sure about the Wolfbox, but I just used this today, first time. I had watched some reviews on it last year. I wanted one that had the option to still start the vehicle, even if the battery was toast, the boost button.
My Sis said her car was dead, not even a door light. I purchased this last year for myself, for a self recovery situation. It sat in my vehicle all winter, and I charged it again maybe a month ago, it had only lost 1 bar of charge all winter long, 4 bars total.
I put the volt meter on her battery, and it was below 5V. So a pretty good test. Connected it up, it detected there was some voltage, and was fleshing Green, meaning it would attempt to start the vehicle. Pressed the "boost" button as instructed, and it gives you 30 seconds to start the vehicle. Sis pressed the start, it cranked like there was a good battery in there. No hesitation at all. Started right up. Disconnected it, and volt meter, and car was charging at the 14.7 volts, so charging systems was good. 2.0 ecoboost engine. It's not some big monster engine, but for most people, this small package would great, or something similar. Not heavy, smaller package. Something to maybe keep in ones Bronco.
Her battery is almost 5 years old, so I will have to replace it.

I got one of the Wolfbox jump boxes off of Amazon and it's been sitting unopened in the box for about a month. Yesterday I went out to fire up my one of my Early Broncos, it's been sitting outside my shop for a few weeks. The battery was dead (Optima yellow top). It wasn't the battery's fault, there's some small drain I haven't had the chance to track down, and I usually leave it on the battery maintainer when it's parked inside the shop. Anyhow it was now dead, and I was looking around for my jumper cables so I could start it off of another vehicle. Then I remembered the Wolfbox so I went and grabbed it off the shelf, opened the box, and saw that it had a 73% charge from the factory. I said what the hell, may as well try it so I hooked it up and after figuring out you need to hold the Start button for a few seconds to get it into start mode, I tried the key and the Bronco fired right up. It has a 5.8l V8. That took the Wolfbox down about 8% of charge (to around 65%). That sounds like a winner to me. I think it will be a good thing to carry in the Bronco, especially with how small it is.

NOCO always has good products. I have a few of their trickle chargers, but not a jumpstarter. Expensive, yes, but quality.
