If anybody had their Topvision fail on them, please post. Mine worked for about a year then failed. Only used it four times.

I came to say that I had the chance recently to test out the Audew I bought after watching this episode when it came out. Our Dodge Grand Caravan had completely discharged its battery overnight, not even panel lights. I grabbed the Audew from our other vehicle which was outside in 7'F weather. When connected, the Audew beeped and flashed green informing that the battery was too low to auto-connect so I hit the boost button and I got a steady green light. The first 2 attempts the car hardly cranked, but it was improving after each try due to the heat generated in the booster. On the third try, it started right up. I have to say that I'm pleased with the cold-weather performance of the littler booster and boy am I glad that you tested it under adverse conditions. A big "Thank You!" from Maine!

It wouldn’t start because you’re using a low-quality battery. I live in Wisconsin too. If you want your battery to start, you need to use a battery with the highest CCA rating. If your CCA rating is low, it won’t start. It doesn’t matter what brand you use, but if you live in extremely cold weather, choose the HIGHEST CCA battery.

After getting it checked with a handheld digital battery tester, it didn't appear to find anything wrong with the battery after all the tests it performed... A few weeks later and using an analog tester with a battery draw test switch found that the car battery wasn't coming back up in voltage after the draw test, however, until I found that out, the genius boost actually worked very well to start the vehicle, and give me enough juice to get going and get the alternator working enough, to keep the engine running with the radio going... **Note** the battery was still over 10 volts, so it wasn't anywhere as extreme as these tests, which appear to start at around 6 volts give or take a couple

How many years are the lithium batteries in the jump packs expected to be good for? Do they recommend storage at 100% charge or is it better for longevity to be a slightly lower state of charge? I had a sealed lead acid jump pack that's gotten tired and have just put a smaller standard flooded lead acid in a milk crate with jumper cables for portable jump duty, but that's not something easily tossed in the trunk. If the Audew lasts years, it'd be nice. The 16+ voltage seems a bit of a concern if connecting to a car with no battery to limit the voltage, if it has an ECU or sensitive 12V electronics.

[@NarutoMagicCyclops]

@@3nertia I don't think that's how supply and demand works in any respectable manner... If you aren't able to supply it you'll charge more both to be able to continue building more units and to possibly upgrade infrastructure to then be capable of selling more units at either the old selling price or close to it.

[@NarutoMagicCyclops]

@Sven3xs Never heard of it, and that rarely happens, not to mention that would also mean they have a good backstock and are already capable of keeping up with or able to match demand at that time or otherwise able to meet demand within a short period to continue with current pricing. Expansion itself costs money which might be needed in this case considering they didn't or don't have good stock of the item. Prices will go up to meet production costs unless the framework was already there to begin with. Similar problems have occurred to other companies namely GPU ones where they undercut the competition by too much and ended up losing profits, it's why companies nowadays will charge a bit more rather than continue to undercut, or they will charge to about the same as the competition.

Your test of the AUDEW made me a buyer and since then it has started a dozer, backhoe and several cars. What a joy not to depend on jumper cables all the time. Essential equipment for long off road exploration in Nevada. Used to carry an extra battery, what a hassle that was.

Your videos are far more insightful than any other resource available. With Everything you review, the information you give is based 100% upon facts as opposed to others who base their conclusion mainly upon biased (paid) opinions. It seems like you can’t be bought, and you’re not just another influencer pushing a paid promotion on its customer base, and I have tremendous respect for that. Also love that you don’t waste any time and get straight to then useful information which we seek. I can’t stand watching similar videos and having to listen to them babble on and on about what they think. this type of ‘cut to the chase’ approach which you have is much more effective and thoroughly keeps your audience’s attention engaged. I will always watch your videos and support your channel, Kudos sir!

I bought the audew solely based on this review and recently had the opportunity to test it out on the dying battery in my 2018 VW Passat. The battery was showing 10.2 volts the day prior to using this on a jump box. Had to use Boost but the little audew worked. Took the battery to be replaced and it was bulged on the short sides so it was dead dead. Audew worked for me....also worked on my harley which is what I bought it for.

I actually have one older DBPOWER model on my parents car that already saved us from being stranded with a dead battery far from home and as soon I got my own car bought a suaoki T3 with a tire compressor just like the ones you tested.

It's too bad because the GB40 IS very high quality and rugged but it's battery had bulged on me and failed to work. I didn't even get a chance or need for a boost and didn't even have it for a year, maybe 8-10 months.

Your reviews and experiments and let's go attitude make me so happy, they're a pleasure to watch and learn from. I've purchased multiple things after watching your videos based on their performance during your demonstrations. I had already bought Topvision before the lockdowns hit expecting my battery to die out since I wasn't driving anywhere for a weeks/months on end during the worst of it. Started my car up easily on the first go every time. Got it on an Amazon lightning deal for $65.00, very happy with it.

[@kfouts2]

Todd, you are probably the hardest working KZbinr out there! Being as bright as you are you probably have your own version of AI to go through and love and comment on thousands upon thousands of comments, otherwise that alone would be a full time job! I have an expensive idea for a video series so I became a patreon supporter. I figure if others do likewise it would remove the financial burden. Here is the idea..... I learned the hard way a long time ago you cannot tell a chainsaw or a generator from its cover. I would purchase cheap thinking it was all I could afford only to find that cheap sometimes quickly lead to useless. Cheap equipment with motors tend to have only one compression ring, only one nut holding the bar, etc. I think a tear down comparison (like you have done on so many things) exposing what manufacturers are getting away with might be very interesting and help your subscribers save money by not buying the stuff that will soon break. A head to head with a Honda generator and a Generac showing only performance is one thing. But revealing what type of cylinders, pistons, valves, etc. are in each might cement which is really best. Just a thought. (You will find I have many ideas, most are bad.) Love your channel. Ken

[@ProjectFarm]

Hi Ken, Thank you very much for the positive comments, for supporting the channel via Patreon, and for the terrific video idea! I'd love to test and then tear down generators, chainsaws, and all sorts of power tools. I'll see what I can do. The jump starter video was expensive and I have several other pretty expensive videos on the way. The cost of testing products is a huge factor. I never accept any form of sponsorship from companies, decline sales commission opportunities, such as becoming an Amazon affiliate, etc. to ensure that the testing is never influenced by corporations and to guard going down the path of chasing a sales commission through the Amazon affiliate program. How can test results be trusted if I'm getting a profit from a sales commission or getting paid by the manufacturer of a product? Anyway, I spend every penny and then some of the Patreon money and greatly appreciate your support. Thanks again and best regards, Todd

[@alanconway8821]

I know I'm late to this video, but very well tested. One thing that might be useful is for lithium batteries used in bikes, it's recommended to turn on the headlight for a few seconds in freezing weather but fire cranking to allow the battery to somewhat warm up. The same probably transfers to these battery packs, if they have a flash light built in flick that on for a little while before cranking

No really, it's a shame that manufacturers can print anything on their devices without the device coming close to that. Look at the first test. 1500A (or 500A starting) labeled device, putting out smoke at 300A. Sorry, but I don't see any potential for 1500A, not even 500A. You just can't trust manufacturers anymore.

[@802Garage]

​@@ProjectFarm Mine actually seems nearly the same as that Sanrock unit, other than a slightly different case design and amperage rating. Same carrying case, same cables, and I wouldn't be surprised if companies obviously fudge the rating. It also looks like the Viking unit is definitely from the exact same factory as the Sanrock starter. Even the Topvision seems very similar, but obviously a different pack inside. Basically all the Chinese units that scored top 4 on the first test are likely from the same factories. They definitely work and will start even large V8 engines in my experience. Great value overall as long as they last. Wow that Viking was a failure though. Great test!

I have a Schumacher Lithium Jump Starter 600 amp. During the lock down and subsequent work at home time, my truck would sit for 1-2 weeks at a time without being used. I was using a trickle charger but then it malfunctioned. So I was using my jumper every time I would use my truck. This thing was awesome. It would give me 4-5 starts on one charge. The unit cost me about $80 at WalMart. It was totally worth it and I highly recommend these jumpers to everyone. I especially think about college kids who park their cars in long term storage and may not drive them for weeks at a time. These devices are must have. It also works on my motorcycle.
