Review: Audew Portable Emergency Vehicle Battery Jump Starter Power Bank

This makes it a good unit in many scenarios from camping to simply storing away in the trunk for an emergency battery boost.

It can charge almost any device from a smartphone to a laptop along with jumper cables for a car or truck battery.

*This unit was sent to me to review with my honest opinion and results below.

Specifications and Features
Battery Capacity: 13800 mAh

Peak Current: 600 Amps
Outputs: 5V 1A, 5V 2.1A, 12V 10A
Input: 15V 1A

Everything comes packed into a hard case with a zipper to hold it shut.

Opening the case all the components are packed neatly inside.

Inside the case is the power bank along with a wall charger, cigarette lighter charger and adapter, jumper cables, smartphone charging cables, and user manual.

The power bank is a square unit.

The front has the power button and LED lights to shows the charge state of the battery.

There is also 2 outputs for the jumper cables or cigarette lighter adapter.

The tip has a built-in flashlight, 2 USB charging ports, and a port to charge the power bank internal battery.

The 2 USB slots make it easy to charge a smartphone, tablet, or most any small electronics.

Three smartphone charging cables are included including Micro-USB for Android and Lighting for Apple devices.

Of course, most will already have a USB charging cable that can simply plug into one of the USB slots for a charge.

The vehicle battery jump starter has 2 clamps for negative and positive battery terminals.

Be sure to get the terminals correct when hooking to a battery Red for Positive, and Black for the Negative battery post.

The clamps do have a safety to show they are hooked up correct along with a Boost button.

The power bank has a Peak 600 Amp load for starting a car or truck with a dead battery.

When using a power bank to start a vehicle with a dead battery I always let the bank charge the dead battery for 5-10 minutes before trying to start the car.

This may be unnecessary but does help in my opinion since the dead battery has received a charge and a lot of voltage/amps will not need to be pulled through the cable wires.

How many times it can start a car or truck with a drained battery will depend on many factors from the state of both batteries to the size of the engine.

A small car with a slightly drained battery and the Audew power bank at full charge will likely start such a car at least a few times.

A big truck with a very dead battery will likely get 1-2 jumps.

Charging the power bank periodically, or at least once a month, to keep it in a full state of charge will be a good idea for an emergency.

Summary
Power banks such as the Audew are not really thought of until there is a problem, then they come in very handy.

One nice thing I like about portable jump starters is when someone else needs a jump and wants to hook to my vehicle.

As many know new vehicle computers can be damaged if the other car after starting sends a spike of voltage back to the helping vehicle.

While I have not had any issues yet having a portable unit to help others is a nice thing to have when needed.

I am still testing the unit so far with good results and will update if anything changes.
