Retailed at $349 as per Jaycar
I am sure we can get better one but this is a steal as well as compatible and has wireless charger but sitting at 850A
Batteries Included
1 Year Warranty
Wireless
It wasn't long ago that so called "portable" jump starters were about as portable as 4 bricks with a handle on top. Things have changed a lot since then thanks to lithium battery technology. Indeed, this unit weighs in at around half a kilogram and could almost fit inside a shirt pocket!
Not only is it light and portable with a whopping 850A cranking current, it also features a wireless Qi charger for your phone and two USB sockets for your other devices. You won't be caught in the dark either thanks to the built in torch with SOS beacon function. Charging is via the onboard USB C socket.Features:
• LiCoO2 Battery
• Reverse Polarity Protection
• Short Circuit Protection
• Low Voltage Protection
• Overheat Protection
I was curious if the 9V USB-C input was USB-PD compatible, and it's not clear from searching online for specs. If someone buys one they should try it with a 3rd party charger and see how it goes.

This appears to be the manufacturers site, its called the same A38 but the battery is bigger. Possibly a newer model?

edit: the starting current is also confusing. Jaycar just says 850A. The manual says
with the description column saying this without any further context:
The chinax site above - which I suppose isn't official - says:
I think if you've got any high CCA engine that is in the 600-850 spec, I'd opt for something with a little more kick just in case the numbers are being fudged a bit.
