Audew 2000A Jump Starter Review

There are TONS of different portable jump starters out there. I chose the Audew based on: reviews, specs, and price. To me it seemed like the best deal without spending $100+.
So far it has left me very impressed so longevity is the last aspect to address.
I bought it for $65 in fall of 2020 however I see now they increased the price to $97...but I still think it’s worth the purchase!

After having a battery go dead on me, I purchased 2 of these for each of our cars. These are better than jumper cables because it's hard to screw it up, and you don't need to count on anyone for a jump start. These tiny little things are must-haves for all cars. Thanks for the great review of it!

[@lbo6050]

I have no clue what I did wrong but mine wouldn't jump my small car.

[@tulebox]

I notice a lot of people on KZbin doing it wrong. Solid green light means your car is ready to start. Do not push the boost button. Only push the boost button if the green light is "blinking".

[@4link4wd]

Hi, thank you for the interest! I am sure different brands and models differ slightly but for this particular jumper, it will not supply power until you press the “boost” button. The green light only indicates correct polarity

[@tulebox]

@@4link4wd The green light has multiple meanings besides just polarity. These meanings are written on the side of the black connector, as well as in the instructions. I don't see a battery indicator level on your dash, but on my dash, when Audew is connected to a dead battery with a solid green light, the battery level indicator jumps up, so it is getting power without pushing the boost button.

[@4link4wd]

@@tulebox Interesting, maybe I’ve been doing it wrong then! I swear I remember trying to start it and it didn’t do anything, and so I hit the button and it fired right up. But I’ll have to take another look at the instructions and experiment with it more. Thank you for the input

[@gil6995]

@@4link4wd I have a different brand booster/starter but the Audew might work the same way. On mine, when connected to a battery it must read at least 2 volts from the battery before the unit will supply power to the clamps. If the battery is less than 2v or is dead, then you have to push the boost button to supply power to the clamps. This is a safety feature so that the clamps cannot accidentally short circuit to each other when not connected to a battery. Once you push the boost button the clamps have voltage whether connected to a battery or not. If you have a voltmeter you can check this out for yourself. Probably something about that feature in your user booklet.

[@4link4wd]

@@gil6995 Thanks for the input! I did read the manual recently and see I have been doing it wrong- according to the manual. Not sure how I missed that when I first read it lol

[@alanluckystripesb3706]

You can't just reset the boost button, you have to disconnect everything. It can take 3 to 4 disconnects and resets to start a dead battery especially on a big engine. Remember, you have to disconnect for at least 10 seconds then reconnect, press the boost button again and follow that sequence until it starts.

[@4link4wd]

Thanks for the input!!

[@tylerotaniconlon1990]

That little battery is amazing and every car owner needs one

[@Javelina_Poppers]

I noticed mine does the same thing when it's really cold. After a several tries it seems to build up some internal heat and works better. A pain, but better than being stuck.

[@tylatham1058]

I bought the Audew 2000A about 14 months ago...it started out great, battery held a charge well. I used it around 6-8 times in that time. I went to jump start my lawn mower and now the lighted plug attachment no longer lights up or transfers power from the power bank. I contacted Audew and they told me it was outside of the warranty period...i'm left with a $100 power bank. I would advise to try another brand as the durability of the Audew seems to be lacking in my experience.

[@fiddlinmike]

Same for me. This thing sucks.

[@studson699]

Same here, plug attachment just beeps, no lights, no power.

[@1mw4tch1ng]

most people dont pay attention when they have low charge battery and then try to jump start with a jump starter battery. You need to make sure to close all the doors and turn off all accessories (blower fan, etc) to help direct all the power to the starter.

[@thomasluggiero3413]

One of the best jumper packs you can buy!

[@billmadle1235]

Mine is brand new n it doesn’t work.i tested it without the push in clamp box that plugs into the red unit n it had good amps but hooking it up to a battery,the green light doesn’t lite up at all n it didn’t work at all.

[@gummo6596]

I’ve had my Audew 2000A since August 2020. I’ve probably used it roughly anywhere between 20 and 30 times and I’ve never had any issues with it. Used it mainly on a 06 350z and a 03 Jetta. Highly recommend it

[@stymie09]

Max shelf life on these even if you take care of them is 3-4 years. My Audew is 2 1/2 years old and won't recharge anymore.

[@jmidgit89]

Don’t buy it. This thing is junk. My model 2000 stopped working literally right before the year warranty was up and had only been used 3-4 times. Couldn’t even jump a 4.0L gas engine on a 70* day

[@4Runner1212]

Great video! Just to let you know, the first try on your Jeep, it was actually doing great! It was at 77% still. You could hear the starter trying to turn it over! Considering the car hasn't been started in a while, other than the fact that it was below freezing outside, that's why it didn't fire up. Those definitely made an impact. So when the battery pack went below 70%, at the 2nd try, made another difference. Because I learned that it should be at about 75% to start up a vehicle. Just to let everyone know. Again great video! thanks!

[@brooklynknightss]

I own two of these, they work great.. better then NOCO genius

[@chuckswaim]

Thanks for posting your great and informative video! For some reason, this jumper device has to be above about 60 to 65 percent power to work. 🤠👍✨

[@edwardcampbell3420]

How do you get the flashing charge percentage light to go out?

[@viking6306]

when it reaches 100% charge it will auto shut off.

[@margueriterizzo7925]

This is proof unless you have a lot of time to sit and read directions over and over this don’t work. Company tried to make it do too much. I don’t need useless junk added. Just jump start my vehicle with easy directions. If I want a phone charger, compass, flashlight I will buy one.

How long to complete a fully charge

[@4link4wd]

I forget exactly but a few hours! Maybe 6 or so?

[@johnglover2854]

I’ve been looking for a jump starter for a long time and I don’t want to buy something that’s a waste of money. I have a 4.2 litre supercharged car will this start it with dead battery. I looked at, at least 10 reviews and this Auden always comes out on top. I live in the uk and the only side is it’s not sold in uk and it only comes with a US charger and would have to use and adaptor. Opinions please.

[@1cavscout160]

I carry one of these in my Can-Am X3. Never want to bee out of juice off road in the middle of nowhere.

[@alanbednarz5543]

I returned mine. Reason? I tried to connect to 3 different batteries and could not connect them. The issue was the opened jaws of the clamp to attach on both sides of the terminals are very wide. The clamps are huge and in many cases there is little room around the + terminal to get that clamp to open up and grasp the terminal. I did have an older Cobra model with very tiny clamps that were able to attach. Another issue with most is that the cables are very short which means many times you cannot reach the negative terminal. I know you can attach it to any metal instead, but sometimes that is not an option with the short length.

[@alanluckystripesb3706]

I'm not an auto electrician but I believe the reason the leads are so short is to limit the amount of dropped power travelling to the terminals. As far as the clips are concerned it may be possible to find a clip to fit the battery terminals then attach the booster to those? I have only tried mine on a 2litre diesel car and a 2.5 diesel suv which have standard 12v battery posts and have had no trouble in connecting. The starter battery has not failed to start the engine even with the battery on the 2litre being completely discharged without enough to power the interior light.

[@allenyee4782]

Tried this on a Honda Fit last night and it failed me. Did everythign correct to my understanding and pressed boost button. Cannot turn engine.

It's designed for 12v, 2x batteries on your truck makes it 24v, so prob wouldn't work

It comes with a female cigarette lighter attachment which can supply up to 15V. It should work if the seat cover comes with or can be fitted with a male cigarette lighter connector.

Because when you don't press the "boost mode button " it won't pick up a charge fast enough while you try to turn it on so it's the best thing to do connect it then hit the boost button

[@haywire17]

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Every time I end up with a GREEN battery, it dies a premature death...I've had motorcycle batteries 7 months old... warranty is 6 months...go figure...last one OPENED UP INTERNALLY.... acid dip showed 100% SG on all cells, but wouldn't crank the bike. A "Forensic study" (Cut the top of the battery off to inspect) revealed "spot welded" lead cross-over (joining) tabs between cells that simply "break", producing an open circuit. I really want o support American companies... But do the math - Interstate for my bike(s) - $99 with 6 month warranty for AGM - broke in 7 months... APEX BATTERY (China) AGM $29.99 (still under ~ $50 with shipping) - 1 year warranty. I have one in my King Quad that I purchased in 2012....This is 2021....still cranks right up, and I don't even bring it inside in the winter... I've NEVER had luck with Interstate batteries. Neither has my Dad back into the '90s. Perhaps prior to that, they were good? At least they've been consistent....(junk).
