Got mine today. Seems well made. I like the large digital display. My old Gooloo just has 4 bars representing charge level.

The USB C port doesn't support PD nor Samsung protocols, so no fast charging my phone or tablet, alas, that wasn't something that was advertised, so I can't really ding them for it.

12V/cigarette lighter port works fine.

Recharging the jump starter via USB C proceeds at 12V at about 1.5A, so just as advertised - nice.

Now I just need to find a car with a dead battery to test its primary function. :)
 
99800 mah battery?
That's like 3.5x bigger battery than the Hompow, Avapow, noco gbx155
I can't imagine it's true.


Is the same picture that says 99800mah it also says 10000mah in the lower left corner...
And the table further down says 8000mah
Lol

Found one of these for 35$ shipped from WM so I'll try one of these also just for grins 🤣 . The Homepow I received looks nice and appears to be a decent unit at first glance. I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
 
I must have slithered right in there... It will go up head-to-head against my Gooloo, there's a dead Express 2500 at my company's shop that would be perfect to try both of them out on!
Well, tried the Hompow 6000 & the Gooloo 4000 on the '19 Express 2500 6.0 LS at my shop-it hasn't been driven in at least 6 months, so it was TOTALLY dead. The Gooloo, with boost mode activated, was able to start it-not cranking fast, but it did start. Shut it down & hooked up the Hompow, enabled "start assist", but it couldn't seem to get good enough connection to the (worthless) GM battery bolts to start it. I did hook up the Hompow to my 500A carbon pile, and it delivered enough amps to start burning the clamps a little, warm up the (dinky 8 gauge) cables, & throw an overload-so it works, but it needs posts to clamp on to. The Express ain't right, it has weird charging system issues, alternator doesn't seem to charge correctly anyway.

Maybe you need the Thexton 311 as shown here?

Those would help. I actually have a set of jumper cables that have brackets that slide out of the clamps like those, they work pretty well too. I was just trying to find a good test to compare the two. I’m actually a big fan of the dual terminal batteries, like the EP/Deka 778DT-then you have posts to put on jumper cables or even accessory connections, that’s what the Express in my sig has.

Helped another person today, Dead Chevy Express looking van with side post battery.
Another guy was out there with not one giant Clore JNC660 but 2 of them.
The bulky battery clamps could not make a good connection to the dumb little battery post nubs. Really poor access to the battery terminals on these vehicles.

The pointy Hompow clamps with fine teeth were able to make a good connection and easily cranked it over in 2 seconds.
