PRODUCT REVIEW: Rockford Pocket Power Jump Starter RFDPPJS2976DLX

In this video I show you a mini jump starter that was given to me to use by my sales man. I honestly didn't think it would work but I was surprised to say the least. Nano Lithium batteries in these min jumpers really seem to do the job :)
Part # RFDPPJS2976DLX

[@robbo6460]

My wife got me 1 for Christmas a few years ago. I looked at it and giggled. Then I bought a few auction cars for our car lot with dead batteries. I pulled the little giggle box out of my truck. It started every single car. It's actually started every single car I've ever used it on. Needless to say we now have 3 of them on the lot. The Noco brand are my favorites because of the serious jumper cables they come with. Great video :)

[@markusdd5]

Electrical Engineer here for a little explanation: It is not surprising at all that these things work. They are based off off Lithium-Ion batteries, which have a much higher specific energy density than normal Ni-based batteries do. And you always have to consider: the battery in the car can be dead as can be, but there is still a lot of high enery electrons stored in that thing. So the little box does not have to compensate for the whole needed cranking current, but just for the difference the battery can not supply anymore. That is why they are called 'battery boosters'. You couldn't replace a normal car battery with that thing, as it would be 'cycled' to death, unless you have a fancy hybrid setup with complex algorithm-computer-controlled charging cycles. Tip for buying stuff like that: Find out where the battery cells come from, the brand name on the case is 100% irrelevant. Look for Korean or Japanese cells, stay away from Chinese ones. The latter work just as well, but they will deteriorate much faster. Hope that was helpful.

[@MMAh00ligan]

Markus Krause which korean/japanese jump start cells do you recommend then?

[@markusdd5]

E.g. the products from NOCO should have good cells in them. But with a little bit of googling it should be easy to find out what the 'genuine' products are and what's just a clone from china

[@bryanlawless1858]

Cool. Good info.

[@freddyflintstoned913]

A dead battery is 10.5 volts.

[@autotech2143]

Factory considers dead at 9.6V or less under a load

[@MeMakeSparks]

Best review.... EVER!! Most reviews are done by people that are being paid by the manufacturer to push they're product. Your sarcastic scepticism is a riot! But at the end when you turned into a giddy little boy was pure honesty. More reviews 'unsponsored' please! Thanks E.O.!!

[@arnolddarnell9898]

Was in caribou, Maine snowmobiling, it was 20 below at 3:00 in the morning and we loaded up the truck to come home. Got in the truck to come home and the battery was completely dead. I was ready to go back to the hotel room when my buddy said he had this little battery starter. When he pulled it out I laughed. He said what do we have to lose. Hooked it up and the truck fired up easily. We look at each other amazed. It still read full power. When I got home I bought one right away. This thing is amazing.

[@1954BJohn]

Thanks Eric - an honest and proper tested review!

[@miketeeveedub5779]

This was the video that introduced me to Eric's channel! Bought me a lithium battery-powered jumper after seeing this video. Absolutely one of the best investments you should have for your car. It saved me on multiple occasions. Thanks for the video Eric!

[@dallassysv]

I have had mine for 3 years, I have jump started about 7 people stranded in gas stations or parking lots with mine. I liked it so much I bought one for my wife to keep in her car, very easy for her to use, without the possibility of connecting it wrong, she has used it once after leaving her lights on while at work. Delivers a strong performance in a small package....like me ;)

[@prophetbunny]

listen! i had to come look this thing up after i was basically rescued tonight by this device. a random passerby saw us unable to start (light was forgotten on) and in 3 mins we were ready to go... thanks for this review...you had us laughing and wow-ing along with you!

[@63256325N]

Battery tech has come a long way in the last few years for sure. Thanks for the video.

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

HAHA! YES! BEST REVIEW EVER! I loved the sarcasm in the first part of the vid -- it was like a comedy show. Freaking hilarious -- seriously. And on a more serious note, the tests, later in the vid, were pretty awesome -- especially the extreme fork lift test. Pretty killer.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Show Me What I Need To Know Hahah hey the little thing seemed to work. I was lil shocked really.

[@mr2law]

LOL . loved your embarrassed face. I was surprised as you were after the starts!

[@SouthMainAuto]

mr2law Lol the thing still surprises me every time I use it. Which is about once a week at least.

[@dougkelley1266]

I bought one like that few years ago. First car battery i jumped fried it. Never worked again. So I am impressed.

[@shaun27ful]

What a great piece of kit to keep in the glove box, not only for the mobile phones, but also started cars think I will have to invest in one thank you for the review very interesting

[@SouthMainAuto]

shaun pi I have been using it sense I did the review and it is still going strong :)

[@CubasAutomotive]

I love mine. .. it's come in handy at least 5 times so far. Compact, can't beat. I also have some Wing Wang off brand. Had it over a yr now. 1 in each vehicle.

[@craig9802]

Some folks get angry at resurrecting "zombie" posts, but this one is worth a little extra attention. :) I bought a NOCO-brand jumper a couple of years ago to throw in my Jeep for when I'm off-grid. I finally got to use it on someone else's vehicle a few weeks ago, and it worked like a champ. Totally worth hauling around the extra 5-or-so pounds of weight for a couple of years, and way easier to use than jumper cables. Glad I bypassed the 20# jumper pack phase of this technology.

[@craig9802]

Oh, and - this lid deserves an extended life. It suits you just as much as the Jeep hat.

[@Darren.G]

For $100 this is almost a no brainer for anyone IMO. It's almost a safety precaution for anyone who gets off work late at night. I'm definitely going to invest in one for myself and one for the wifey. Thanks for the review!

[@SouthMainAuto]

+Darren G. I use it all the time and it works like a champ still, blows my mind how good it is.

[@craiglangkau8056]

You did an excellent job at the prestation of this product. I am impressed too! I would buy it, keep it in your vehicle, and who knows you could help someone one the road. Keep up the good work!!

[@donaldswink6259]

Eric O, that was a great review you did and when your forklift fired up the look on your face said it all.

[@disgruntledegghead6923]

Definitely not the worst review out there, in fact it was pretty good. I picked one up for poops and hahas but haven't actually used it yet, your review was a real world test so I know what to expect. Ill be using it at the shop for sure, and it does charge a phone rather quickly too. Great review man.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Jeff Knebel Still using it today and all is well, makes me smile every time I use it.

[@izzynutz2000]

hey you can never have too many jump starter boxes especially a little one like that that you can throw in the glove box of your wife's car just in case my father and I one year drove from St Louis to Minnesota in a white out overnight the wind was blowing the snow so hard you couldn't see three feet in front of you but you could look up and see the stars the following morning cars were impacted full of snow and we jump-started like 7 or 8 cars my father used to have a set of 1 inch round semi tractor trailer cables and you could jump-start just about anything with them bad boys anyway can always use a little extra help you never know especially with the weather you guys get up there nice product

[@earlcousins6635]

One of the BETTER reviews that I've seen. You tell it like it is and where people can relate and understand what you're saying. Nice job. Your comments are GREAT! Hope you do more down the road, but be selective. Don't become a tool review show.

[@manuallabor7193]

I just saw this video and wanted to add my 2 cents. I picked up one like this from H F to use on long camping trips. It worked great just like this one for 1/2 the price. It is easy enough and light enough the wife can use.

[@larryehrlich8702]

Project Farm did a great video on 8 different jump starters...it's a must see if you are looking for one of these units. On KZbin lookup "Which car jump starter is best?". Or go to Project Farm...this guy does very in depth producr reviews

[@michaelherbert8213]

Tool reviews are the best, especially from a real professional. I would love to see a shop tour and maybe some reviews of your favorite tools. I Just bought that snap on torque/angle wrench you used in the Subaru video. Thanks for sharing.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Oh nice Michael Herbert . Glad I could help you spend your money haha

[@NoahTheFacts]

I had a big and heavy booster pack, and when it failed the SLA battery cost more than one of these lithium ones. Noco GB20. It works. Loses CCA in cold weather. Charges USB stuff. Similar light modes. Glad it was on sale, but it does work.

[@rayjenkins2872]

awesome tool i have had mine for a little over a year now and has never failed me!

[@SouthMainAuto]

Oh nice good to know. Thanks for sharing that raymond jenkins

[@sandhillspatty8251]

Rancher lady from the Sandhills. Love your review!! People should pay you to do them!! My husband bought one of these for me. It worked the first time I needed it for my old Lincoln. Today, I couldn't get it to work. At dusk, shutting up chickens, I see a strobe light going off in my car. OK, I think my problem was........I was trying to use, when it was turned off, not on. The blue lights to not go off right away when you power off..........(evidently since I had light turned on) and the wind was blowing 40 mph and I couldn't really see, if the green light was on, cause my eyes were watering so bad. It's also hard to remember to remember to charge it every 3 or 6 months, if it riding around in the back seat, covered up with (stuff) so give yourself a reminder.

[@jussikuusela7345]

18 months ago I got myself a rather bulky jump starter pack, which claimed to produce 600 CCA and 900 peak A. Based on SLA, has rather thick jump leads, and it worked fine for me. I still have it but haven't had my car battery go flat on me after the few times I got to use it. I have jump started a couple other people's cars with it though. Been replenishing the charge every 3 months or so as advised in the instructions. It has two cig lighter sockets, USB, and work light, reverse polarity indicator. 15V 800mA home charger, and a cig lighter charger which I haven't tried. It cost me 70 EUR, about as much as the battery I got for my car later.

[@Huntereich]

I funded the "Juno Power" jump starter on Kickstarter years ago and it seems similar to this. Higher quality maybe, and it's 20,000mah with all the outputs and an AC dock. Couldn't be happier with it. I jump people with it all the time, so much more convenient than cables. I don't leave home without it in the car.

[@mohawkmike142]

I have a NOCO GB-30. I works great for "normal" dead batt jumps. it will NOT jump a completely dead (2 volts or less) battery. It doesn't work miracles but it is convenient and less cumbersome that cables. NOCO isn't the cheapest out there but I have had good luck with other products from them. The GB-30 has "real" alligator clamps not those "mini" ones on this unit. Gotta beleive 20 jumps is a stretch too but hey.... maybe it will. Great little vid

[@bikerboy2791]

Thanks for the thorough review. Your credentials as a regular, working guy go far with me. Costco has a similar product but different brand for $60. It will literally fit easily in a glove compartment. It's that small. And a mechanic I know has used them and was impressed by the power in such a small package. For 60 bucks it's worth a shot. Thing is I don't want to wait until I need it to see if it works. Gonna have to find some friends with dead batteries to try it out.

[@davidzito6816]

Thanks for the review, thought it was great. I have one that's been sitting in the garage for a couple years, going to take it out and start using it!

[@John_Ridley]

I've bought several different brands and keep one in every car. I've only used one for one of my own cars once but have helped others several times.

[@adama5392]

I started a old caterpillar D6 with one of those Lil things awhile back, was astonished at how well it works... Great video as always Eric...

[@adama5392]

OEM tools sells the same thing for $50-80 on mobile distributor supply... Great presents I got one with all the same stuff for @$65

[@knunne1]

Thanks for the review, I felt the way you started out but was still curious about them. I will probably go ahead and get one now.

[@SouthMainAuto]

knunne1 Well I know it was a pretty poor review as far as reviews go just because I thought it was gonna be over in the beginning haha

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

This technology HAS come a long way, but it's not a "battery" pack. It's a capacitor pack with controlled capacitive discharge. Never take one apart, that charge can severely harm you.

[@nodak81]

I actually bought one of these things a couple years ago based on this video. It was the same brand but a different model, but more or less the same. I only needed it once so far but it did the job. I've been thinking of getting a more powerful one to carry around with me on the job. These little things have come a long way in recent years. I'm really looking at the NOCO branded ones. They seem to have great reviews but can get pricey.

[@ehkruse1]

I bought one of these. I've had two opportunities to jump start a car with it. With a nearly completely dead battery on a volvo 940 it would light up the dashboard, but didn't provide sufficient power to turn over. On a Honda Accord with a "low" battery that was making the starter click, but not quite enough to turn the engine over, this thing worked alright.

[@ehkruse1]

But i just noticed, mine didn't come with that big black plug with the lights and a boost button. My cables have a smaller box on each cable, with no lights or buttons. Maybe that's the difference

[@AnhYeuEmMaiMai69]

I saw your video and as a result bought it. I was considering a regular jump pack but I saw this and was sold. thank you

[@SouthMainAuto]

+AnhYeuEmMaiMai69 I still use it and it works great :)

[@AnhYeuEmMaiMai69]

+South Main Auto Repair, showed it to a few of my co workers and they are on amazon ordering it right now....

[@deeannawaldrop2107]

I really LOVED my mini jump starter, i used it all the time even jumped off my truck with it.it was great the very short time i got to use it. i have had it for less than 6 months and now it wont charge using either house adapter or car adapter.it was charging just fine one day and next time i tried to charge it i get nothing. its just been money down the drain. i cant find any trouble shooting on it or anyone to contact. i am very unhappy with it.

[@aephix73]

I know it's almost 4 years after this video was published, but I own 2 similar jump start kits. My newest one is capable of 1200amps and I've started a dead F-350 welding rig at work with it. I keep one in my car at all times and it's saved my butt a couple times.

[@mlb0611]

I bought the Astro Pneumatic mini jump pack and love it

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Well, the Rockford Pocket Power is no longer available on Amazon. Too bad. You still use yours Eric?

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

I'd say that most of these have the same chipsets/boards in them because my EverStart from walmart that I bought for $59 has all the exact functions. I did have to use it once as well and did well.

[@trevormangus7832]

I tried several jump starters but the best I found is the Antigravity XP-10. It will jump a diesel most won't come close to the power of the X10

[@KevinJohnson-fx6wq]

That was pretty impressive. I was kinda hoping you see if it would start the 20 times. But noticed the battery in the car was starting to take a charge because I thought I heard start to turn of on its own for a second on the third try. I was just looking at a similar unit at NAPA when I was getting oil and a filter for my car. I saw that it stated it would start 4 & 6 cyl. cars. Also had outlets which I can't remember now. Was in a box slightly bigger than the unit so it didn't have all the attachments like the one you tested.. They went for I think $55. Just noticed this was done 3 yrs. ago, but thanks for sharing. I saw you responded and said it was still working a year ago. That's very impressive.

[@tedsprangh5174]

best product review about jump starters, i saw , so SMA keep on doing these reviews ,you are born whit a talent to sell good stuff !i am convinced so i buy this RFDPPJS2976DLX Thanx greatings from, Amsterdam

I keep one in the tool bag on my old Harley. Never had to use it on the Harley. I do jump many cars with it and get Eric O’s response every time.

[@ctblues2426]

It's been a while since this was posted but I just wanted to stop by and say that I bought this product because of your review, your skepticism really sold it for me. I've used it a couple times to charge my cell phone and it works great. I almost can't wait for my car battery to die so that I can jump start it with this. Love your video's and would love to see you do more tool reviews.

[@SouthMainAuto]

+Matt Walsh I still use it to this day and it works wonderfully !

[@Robsbrd99]

Me too Matt Walsh! I'm chomping at the bit to be the hero and bring someone's car back to life. Like to charge mine up every six months.

[@ansdguy1]

You might want to go to Amazon, after watching some other KZbin reviews and comparisons. There is a pretty good assortment of these things. I recently bought a $40.00 Beatit unit that gets almost 4.5 stars. A very popular brand, also, is the Genius line. Their $100 is very popular, as is their $80 one.

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

Actually I totally enjoyed this product review by you because it was genuine. It had your first impression and interpretation of what you had in your hands. Then it had your genuine response to the idea that this thing actually works! Sure crank up that propane-fired forklift for yours pretty good! Do some more brother! I'd rather have a genuine first impression and then last impression then some scripted nonsense. In my own words,,,

[@dennisfox2344]

Of all the reviews I have seen on these boosters I trust yours the most. great job!

[@supersport2778]

Great demo and real time review. I saw it on Motor Week and then your video and you sold it. Company should give you one for free for the great video demo on it. Thanks for a great video review. It was actually well done.

[@nicknicu1787]

Great review Dr O! I've really enjoyed it! Nothing fake here! Loved your persistence to try and prove it wrong! Lol! I think almost every repair channel I watch has shown a review on this tool or similar. Pretty neat! I think I'm going to have to own one. I might be wrong here,but I think once you hit about 3K subscribers...or it goes by views of your videos...you'll have ads from KZbin on every video and manufacturers will start sending you tools for free,so it might be the last one you have to pay for. :) Just keep'em honest and funny like this one and you'll be fine. I'm really happy for you!

[@SouthMainAuto]

Thanks Nick Nicu. Hey I'll take free tools right!? I won't lie though for a company. If stuff is junk it's junk. Glad you enjoyed my mini last minute review haha

[@ericcorse]

First off you mean that is not a freebie. WTH. Honesty is appreciated and I am like you no way that would work. Pretty dang slick. I'd be interested if it would work on a high compression big block.

[@nickstarks22]

Great review! I appreciate your skepticism and honesty Eric.

[@MrRlitcher]

Nice work for your first review. I'm amazed by this unit too. Getting one for the Hot Rod Power Tour this summer

[@MyTerryb]

What amaze me is the high voltage battery on the Hybrid cars... putting out 240 Volts

[@SouthMainAuto]

Terry Beharry Battery technology today is so amazing. Pretty soon we will be able to jump start with our cell phones ya know?

[@CubasAutomotive]

Actually Hybrids are putting out a total of 600v DC. .. heck of a punch.

[@Socalnik66]

Boom! Mind Blown! Great vid thanks

[@SouthMainAuto]

evelec8166 Lol mine too :)

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

I'm not sure if I need one but now watching you I think I want one!

[@MinecraftSurge]

I'm not surprised at all. They have lithium batteries that put out 50 times their nominal amperage in burst mode. So if you have a 12 volt 5 amp battery, it becomes 15 volt 250 amps, and you can pretty much start anything with that. It's got a few issues, the lithium stuff is very volatile. It will also heat up like crazy and can cause itself to melt and set ablaze. What that jumppack is missing is some ultra caps in it to basically make it maintain the voltage and have more amperage.

[@jhimmelberger5371]

I have it. It works like a champ. I have jumped about a dozen vehicles and charged phones and laptops. Highly recommend it. It will lose a bit of juice in the winter if sitting in your vehicle for an entire winter.

[@hatfez]

I received a Schumacher "little guy" for Christmas 2017. Used it 5 times, only worked once & it just started by the grace of Chrysler. Save your money, buy a larger battery pack. Some even double as a sir pump & inverter for about the same $.

[@dannycole9401]

You are so smug and I love it. Advance auto parts is a block from my shop. So........ I might have one as well.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Think I will,get one , thanks for testing it out and making a video on it.

[@kaylamarie8309]

Thank you Eric this has been a very helpful video in two ways!..first, my 800 AMP Strongway booster box jump starter has a dead battery and now I know that it should cost me about $40 for a new battery. Secondly, since the thing weighs 800 pounds I have an alternate choice in jump starting systems in this new technology. I will still fix the Strongway jump starter as it was pretty spendy, but am definitely going to get one of these Rockford jump starters as well! Awesome little unit! :-)

[@L8terdays]

I have one and it works every time.

[@tihzho]

I was waiting for you to go and hook it up to the entire shop!

[@DrYosh2]

I've had good luck with one i have that's similar to this. Doesn't really work in place of a battery as others have stated, but for your average jump start situation it does very well. just keep it charged up or obviously it wont work and Li-Po cells don't last long if they stay dead.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Eric Obiestoski: Ya'll have done sold this old hillbilly. Rockford pocket power. I can remember last year being stuck in a truck stop with a dead battery in my fairly new car. Almost missed a Dr appointment. Goodun my friend.

[@JeffWinter1]

Interesting to go back in time and see something I've had for years. Got a generic version in each vehicle and they're great. Pretty soon they'll just be the size of a 9volt and will run your electric vehicle a couple of miles to the charger. Lol

[@Hawk1966]

I got a Craftsman (I think that's the brand, I know it's a name brand) jump pack to review a few years ago. Charged a couple phones, ran my laptop then I tossed it in the car and forgot about it (it's about 3/4s the size of this one) until I went out to go somewhere and woops, didn't close the hatchback fully and battery is stone dead. Pull out the jump pack (my battery charger is circa 1980 and really scary!) It's at 60% hoping that's enough and Vroom car starts. Get to Advance who assured me on the phone they had a battery for my heap, they didn't. Little pack fired the car up again and I went across the street to O'Reilly's, they had a battery.

[@stevenrichey5068]

There's a car lot near me that use's those all the time....they are very surprising. ...have fun... 😄🐶

[@Joseph1NJ]

Cool. Great to keep in the car in winter time. Only thing I'd change is the case, maybe make it red, easy to see, and incase it in a rubber boot. The only test he didn't do was a drop test.

I have those type of power packs. They have they save my butt many times. Also strangers!

[@madmat2001]

The sarcasm is strong with you.

[@GNX157]

Since this has polarity protection, would I still be able to use it to connect to the battery cables while they're removed and a new battery installed? (To keep car electronics and memory powered up)

[@DapimpBDSD]

We have one at work (Snap-on brand though) and it make jump starting alot easier, we dont haul around a huge battery charger for a quick jump.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

I have 2 of them. One in each car. Make sure you buy the one can jump start 8 cylinder engine. Some other jump start 6 cylinder and 4 cylinder.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Chad Buckwalter Hahaha I can't stop with it lol

[@MLB-Av-Geek]

Haha your welcome bud

[@MyTerryb]

FROM ADVANCE AUTO.. FANTASTIC.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Well it did work but you never actually had a fully discharged battery. And most times you never do. I would have liked to have seen batt voltage before the test plus it was in a warm shop. I was hoping you took off the cables and see if it could put 175 amps thru the 8-10 gauge cable. Not sure what's going on I'm not an electrical engineer but you do have a sub that is so maybe Terry can give is some insight . This is my guess . The jumper is just boosting the available batt voltage and is not to be used without a battery in place. I think the lithium batteries are energizing a capacitor that boosts voltage for a short time. Seems illogical to me if the battery was completely discharged. For most times as you have shown It did do the job as intended. I'm impressed 👍

[@SouthMainAuto]

Steve Rob Funny you mention that. stuzman52 is in Europe right now with him woman on a little R&R. I would like to know his thoughts though too. I gotta tell ya that Nissan battery was pretty kicked. I honestly didn't think it was gonna work at all so I got distracted when it did but yes you are right I should have unhooked the battery and tried it. I suck at product reviews haha good thing they don't pay me right?! I just might buy it for the strobe light feature haha

[@SteveRobReviews]

I was talking to Terry today. I think he's visiting his wife's side of the family. Oh yeah he's watching your vid for sure tonight . Terry was raised just down the road from Andy Taylor over in Mayberry . Always wanted to see the place especially Wallys fillin station where Goober and Gomer worked I think it was in Mount Pilot. Boy them were the days :)

[@BERPSU1]

South Main Auto Repair I know you're impressed with the nano tech (I was/am too) but for commercial use don't buy that China made copy cat, put a few dollars to it and buy the originator, Anitgravity Battery's Mirco-Start. Go for their XP-10 model. Strongest one out there and far superior to the China copy. And, when I say copy I mean copy. If you compare you'll quickly see Rocket copied AG right down to the layout of the carrying case. But there IS a big difference in longevity and reliability.

Thanks for the input BERPSU1 . I haven't bought this one yet so I will look into the one you are mentioning.

Just wanted to give a +1 to BERPSU1 and the idea of getting the Antigravity Micro-Start XP-10. It has 300A (600A peak) so it should work for even larger engine sizes. It is the slightly bigger brother to the XP-1 which is like the one you showed.

On BTW, Rick, with that hat, you look like the character in the "Moon Mullins" comic strip...
