They say you can never have too much money. I don't know if that's true. Shakespeare had King Richard shouting "A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!" I don't ride a horse, but I do have a couple of old convertibles that have had the battery die on occassion, so I can relate. All the money in the world won't help you if your car and phone batteries are dead and nobody is around to help. That's why I was very excited to see the JumperPack mini from Cyntur.
I liked that the JumperPack offers a huge 12,000 mAh of power and still fits in a glove box. This battery pack charges USB devices at 2.1 Amps, suitable for an iPad, in addition to 12V DC. I also liked that it offers safe charging for cars, motorcycles, and boats, so you don't need to worry about plugging it in the wrong way. Also, it has a flashlight and at $99.99, it's reasonably priced. This is one of the few products I've reviewed where I've struggled to find a "con" to write about Perhaps it could have more than one USB port? My only real complaint is that I didn't have one earlier, on one of the several occasions when my roadster's battery died!
Pros
- A whopping 12,000 mAh of power
- Compact size and not too heavy
- Safe charging
- Supports USB and 12V DC
- Reasonably priced
Cons
- Would be nice to have two or more USB ports
- Wish I'd had one earlier!
Final Verdict
If you worry about being stranded, either due to an empty car battery or cellphone battery, or both, the JumperPack mini from Cyntur should meet your needs.
