HALO Bolt 58830 mWh Portable Phone Laptop Charger Car Jump Starter with AC Outlet and Car Charger - Grey

Product Information

We have been storm chasing for about 5 years now and one of the things that has been a constant struggle for us, is finding a way to charge our equipment (phones, iPads, cameras, GPS) when we are out in the middle of nowhere. We have tried using solar panels but they don’t work nearly as well as we would like for them to. Another problem with solar is how unreliable it is when it’s cloudy or raining. The Halo Bolt charger has changed all that! Now were are not just limited to charging our devices while we are driving or plugged into an outlet at home. We can charge anything anywhere! This thing is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs or wants portable power. Plug the jumper cables into the jump start output on the HALO BOLT AIR. Make sure the jumper cables are fully plugged into the jump start output before trying to jump your vehicle.

The power button for the AC outlet is right next to an outlet, and when pressed, it blinks Green twice and then stays Green. To turn off the AC outlet, press the power button again. The Bolt 58830 power bank’s build quality is pretty good, as the structure of the power bank is put together well. The entire power bank is made of plastic, so it doesn’t exactly feel premium, but it does hold up well whenever you need to use it. When it comes to charging with the USB-A ports, you’re mainly going to be charging smartphones with it, and if that’s the case, you’re only able to charge most phones to full power about three to four times. Smartphones now use fairly large batteries, such as Samsung Galaxy S20 using a 4,000mAh battery, while the S20+ has a 4,500mAh battery and the S20 Ultra has an even larger 5,000mAh battery. On the bright side, the Halo Bolt does come with everything. It comes with an AC adapter and a car adapter for recharging. It also comes with a Micro-USB cable and a carrying bag for the power bank. The jump-starting feature is also a big part of this power bank, and the power output for it is 500 AMPs. That’s a good amount, but it’s not amazing. 500 AMPs is the minimum amount that a portable jump starter should offer because even though the HALO Bolt 58830 advertises that it can jump starts cars, ATVs, and boats, it can’t jump-start a completely dead battery. 500 AMPs of power is not enough.The two most useful parts are the AC outlet and the jump starter, but at the same time, the AC outlet has a 65W output only, but it can be beneficial for powering laptop chargers. The jump starter can be useful for starting your car in case of an emergency. It also helps that it’s a three-prong AC outlet rather than just two. Summary: Once that’s done, you have to press the power button and wait for solid green light, and then you can start your car. Build Structure and Material: The small size makes it easy to carry in almost every bag while the light weight allows you to bring it anywhere without tiring yourself out from carrying it. Durability The Halo Bolt 58830 is designed for frequent use in rough environments. It uses an ABS plastic shell that has been tested for impacts at up to 3 meters (9 feet) high. This ensures that the unit can take a few drops or bumps without being damaged. The size of this power bank is large for its 15,900mAh power capacity, but when you consider using a jump starter and an AC outlet, the sizing does make sense. It is still enough to be portable with nearly anywhere you go. Powering an appliance or a laptop charger with the AC outlet can only be done for an hour. Since it has a 65W power output, if you’re powering a laptop charger that’s within that power range, then you’re able to power it for an hour.

When it comes to powering a laptop charger or charging devices simultaneously, this power bank does not overheat. The only time it would overheat is when you’re jump-starting a car with it. We recommend cranking your car three times, and if it doesn’t start, then take a break for about five minutes, let the power bank cool down and then try again. In terms of how many times you’re able to jump-start a vehicle, it depends on what you’re trying to jump-start. If you’re starting from a full power capacity, the Halo Bolt 58830 power bank can jump-start sedan cars about 200 times, but when it comes to jump-starting SUVs, you can expect about 90 jump starts. Output Charging: Structure-wise, the Halo Bolt 58830 is a power bank that is built well. The charger can heat up internally if you crank your car too many times while trying to jump-start it, so it’s best to take a break after about three cranks.This Halo Bolt has three 5,300mAh batteries, so we can deduce that this power bank has a 15,900mAh power capacity. This is nowhere near the claimed power capacity or the capacity they want you to think this charger has. The Halo Bolt 58830 is a useful gadget for those who like to go camping and traveling, or just to have in your house in case of an emergency. It’s really great to be able to charge your phone or other gadgets, when you’re on the road and aren’t near a power source. The jump starting capacity is also very impressive, and it’s good to know you’ll always be able to get the car going again.
