AstroAI Lithium

May 31, 2023

Unless you live underneath a proverbial rock, the days of pulling out jumper cables have long passed. While you can do that, new products like the AstroAI Lithium-ion battery jump starter make it much easier to start a dead battery. Fewer cables…No complex maneuvering of vehicles…Less time wasted. Plus, using something like the AstroAI 2000A 12V 8-in-1 Portable Battery Jump Starter, you can jumpstart a vehicle all by yourself.

The way the portable AstroAI Lithium-ion battery jump starter and others work is through the way the three internal lithium-ion batteries can discharge high levels of current. This particular jump-starter has a peak starting current of 2000A. The typical current supply is more like 1000-amps—still plenty to jump the 12V battery in a car or SUV. It tackles gas engines up to 7.0L (or 3.0L diesel engines).

The process for jump-starting a vehicle works as follows:

AstroAI includes short-circuiting, overcurrent, overvoltage, and overload protection. Between this and the warning beeps, you should stay clear of anything that would harm the jump-starter. In the course of this review, we flipped the cables and experienced the warning beeps. That feature alone really helps this product work well for people who may have never used a portable jump-starter before.

Two USB ports let you charge devices at various capacities. The blue USB 3.0 output port on the AstroAI Lithium-ion battery jump starter can charge mobile phones and even small laptops up to 3A (5V/3A or 9V/2A). Another 5V 2.4A USB 2.0 port provides fast charging for phones.

You can also plug in the included 12V external port ("cigarette adaptor") for up to 10A power. The portable jump-start/power supply charges via a USB-C port.

We also like the included LED flashlight. Just press and hold the orange Light button and it activates. Press the button repeatedly cycles through flashlight, strobe, SOS, and emergency red light modes. Long-press the button to turn off the light.

The AstroAI Lithium-ion battery jump starter worked well for us. It works well to quickly and easily jump-start vehicles like our 2003 Jeep Liberty. With these new products, you really just need to find the features you like. The AstroAI has some decent ones and we found it a great solution for ensuring you’re never left without a means of reviving a dead battery.

In the end, the AstroAI 18000 mAh battery is powerful enough to jump-start most small-to-medium passenger vehicles. It works as well as any other lithium-ion jump starter we’ve tested to date.
