StarkPower i SparQ Lithium-Ion Jumpbox

I have always liked the idea of having a jump box but in the past they where just too big, heavy and not very practical.  I have a lithium battery in one of my bikes from StarkPower and it is awesome (read my review of it at http://www.weberworkscnc.com/stark-power-lithium-motorcycle-battery.html ) So I decided to go back to StarkPower (StarkPower.com) and give their I SparQ 600 Amp Lithium-Ion Jumpbox a try.

First off, here are some of the features of this little power house:

I was amazed at all that this Jumpbox can do and what is included with it.
There is a USB charging port on the side of the unit that you can charge your electronics with your own cord or it comes with a cord that fits most universal cell phone charging ports and iphone.  It also comes with 8 different adapters that should fit most small electrical items and laptops and the output voltages are 12V, 16V and 19V. There is both a 120V wall charger and a 12V cigarette charger. Then of course there is the jumper cables. All of this in one handy carrying case.

I wanted to start off by getting familiar with the unit and trying out some of its features before I gave it a real test. The Jumpbox is incredibly handy to have around when you are on the road for more than just jump starting your car, truck, boat, motorcycle or whatever you can think of. Because of its small size and large power, it will charge your electronics at two times their normal rate, has a built in LED flashlight with three modes, On, SOS Flash and Strobe.

All of the items in the case can easily be stored under a seat or in the trunk but if you’re on a motorcycle or space is at a premium, just take what you need without the case.

Now that we have covered the basics, on with the real test of what this thing was designed to do. Start your dead engine.  The manufacturer claims that you can start up to a 6 liter engine and can start you car 20 times on a single charge. So to test this claim I decided to use it to start my boat. I was in the process of replacing a dead battery so this was a great time to try out the new Jumpbox. The boat has a 4.3 liter Volvo Penta V6 engine and I did this test without any battery in the boat. The Jumpbox was hooked directly to the battery cables and I started the boat 21 times without any hesitation from the unit.  It turned the motor over with ease and could have kept going but I think 21 times starting a boat gets the point across, don’t you?

Here is the YouTube video of the Jumpbox starting my boat.

The beauty of this device is in its size, features and piece of mind that it provides. Take it with you on a motorcycle trip, keep one on the boat, in the family car, camping or whatever you can come up with. I was amazed that something so small can pack such a huge amount of power. Lithium batteries have come a long way and this unit can stay safely in storage for years (charge it at least every 6-12 months for optimal performance) You don’t have to worry about it generating heat or fire like the early lithium batteries and at 1 pound for the unit, it wont weigh you down.
