    I can confirm these are amazing. Using the boost feature I was able to jumpstart a 4.2L Diesel engine from a battery that couldn’t even turn on the interior lights! Very impressed.

    • impulsebuy on 10/08/2020 - 20:38

      No go for me. Bought from previous ozbargain deal. Toyota Hiace 3.0L LWB 2010

      • cruiseronroad on 10/08/2020 - 20:56

        I find that very interesting, did you use the boost function? The 1HZ (4.2L diesel I started) is not easy to turn over, I have tried to jumpstart from little hatchbacks in the past and they couldn't provide enough juice.

        • impulsebuy on 10/08/2020 - 21:12

          Yes I tried several time, leave battery plugged in overnight still not working. I noted the Gooloo only dropped a bar after a few try.

            @impulsebuy: Hm, well leaving the jump starter connected overnight wouldn’t do anything. Perhaps faulty unit?

            When I used the boost function it drained 3 bars of battery on mine!

            • impulsebuy on 19/08/2020 - 10:35

              @cruiseronroad: I leave battery on charge over night I mean, just to make sure the battery is fully charged.
              The battery cut out maybe 3 seconds before the car fully started, like some kind of inbuilt load protection on the battery.

              I'll try to contact Amazon to see if accept return.

          The 1HZ. Ahhh the 1HZ. What a donk. Could it be the best engine Toyota ever built? Sure it's sluggish but I'd argue the most reliable engine ever slapped into a fourby

    • ialam99 on 24/08/2020 - 18:47

      how does this compare to a similarly priced Stanley one?

      https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/stanley-500amp-jump-starter-wco…

      • cruiseronroad on 24/08/2020 - 21:17

        Completely different products.

        1. Goo loo is much smaller and much lighter.
        2. It is approximately 2x as powerful
        3. It has USB C

        Stanley:
        1. About the size of an average baby
        2. Not sure if it’s lithium
        3. Has the advantage of having a compressor.

        So ultimately the gooloo is a portable solution, potentially more compatible with modern electronics. Both will start your average passenger petrol car just fine.

    Had one die on me after about 3-4 uses. Shipped back to amazon for a full refund.

    Works well when it's not dead.

    • justtoreply on 10/08/2020 - 08:54

      Just wondering if you (& kanari who upvoted you) followed the instructions regarding charge to full before first use and also charge after use?

      The gooloo has leds that indicate charge and you can see that providing enough current to the car takes a real toll because on a fully charged gooloo the leds might indicate below 50% for a moment during a jumpstart on our 4 cylinder engine. I'd hate to think what a half charged gooloo would do if used for another jumpstart as the strain would probably be too much.

      Also I heard they aren't meant to be stored in heat as it affects battery capacity. So inside a car is the worst place possible… Very awkward! Mine lives in our cupboard then when a car battery starts misbehaving we start taking it in our backpacks (we always have a backpack due to kids or work) but the gooloo is heavy and bulky.

      I guess it's cheaper than RAC if it dies after a few uses but I'd hope yours was a rare dud or misused.

      • Mike444 on 10/08/2020 - 10:06
        +3

        Yep fully charged before first use and it wasn't stored in the car either.

        • justtoreply on 10/08/2020 - 10:45

      • Thriftster on 10/08/2020 - 10:32

        This is normal for charge reading to drop when under load. It is just a basic voltage check circuit i suspect

  • justtoreply on 10/08/2020 - 08:52

    Have this. Just used it for the third time. Happy with it and this is a good price.

    Needing a repco deal because clearly my car battery is nearly dead if its going flat fast (kids turn headlights on for 10 min whilst engine not running = flat).

    • Orico on 10/08/2020 - 10:02

        Our cars rarely travel more than 5km at a time. I'm not a car person but I suppose we'll always have short battery lives due to that

        • Orico on 10/08/2020 - 10:48

          Just start your car every day and leave the engine running for 5-10 mins. Never leave your car unused for long periods of time.
          If I'm not using my car, I start my car once every 3 days because I'm lazy.

        • Hellcat on 19/08/2020 - 11:19

          Get a battery charger and charge your battery once a month. Alternatively take the car for a long drive once a month. It's also good for the car to reach its operating temp once in a while.

      • Sven Nijs on 10/08/2020 - 10:50

        As a long term NRMA member and having used their battery service, I would say their batteries last no longer than other brands. You just pay more for the convenience of having it fitted wherever you are. Most recently I used Supercheap to replace my dead NRMA battery because I could limp the car there and paid around the same or less for the SCA 'Premium' Century brand battery fitted compared to NRMA's standard. Would happily have used Repco too but couldn't be bother fitting it myself.

        • Orico on 10/08/2020 - 11:01

          As a long term NRMA member and having used their battery service,

          I'm guilty of forking out extra for Toyota and Mercedes Batteries for cars I have bought new.

          • gromit on 10/08/2020 - 16:22

            @Orico: I was lucky, just got a new Mercedes Battery, was still "just" under warranty. luckily I did my research before calling as they tried to tell me it was not under warranty initially.

            bought one of these, good price as present for my brother.

      • ATTS on 10/08/2020 - 16:41

          +1

          sometimes, or it just doesn't hold a charge for long so you are constantly putting it on the charger. e.g. my Mercedes battery died recently, it was dead dead, no warning or low battery lights, would not hold any sort of charge. My wifes mini battery is obviously also on the way out, it is regularly getting the battery warning on and a full charge gets it another week or two before the dreaded battery light is back on.

              @OnTheMark: possibly, though a basic check with a voltage meter seems to indicate it is working. It is due for service next month so will get them to check before I splurge on a battery.

    • justtoreply on 10/08/2020 - 09:08

      It has reverse and over current protection built in but I'm not 100% sure if there's any other protections required. I didn't think so but I'm no guru.

      The same risk applies with jumper cables, not just portable batteries.

      I use it on a 2015 camry.

    Is there a major benefit of this one over the 1200A one? (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/556455)

    • ezzaf on 10/08/2020 - 12:14
      +1

      Depends what you want to use it for. The 2000A starter can provide more current, so it'll start a larger engine. It's also got USB C.

      If you've got a little four cylinder petrol car and don't care about USB C, get the cheaper one.

    • Mozgodrom on 10/08/2020 - 12:19

      2000A can do 15V/10A = 150W continuous output vs 12V/10A = 120W of 1200A.
      Might be important if you use it with a pump/vacuum or other appliance.

      The battery also has 11% larger capacity.

    • LowRange on 10/08/2020 - 14:11

      I've used both, get the 2000A

      • orly on 10/08/2020 - 14:24

        Why?

        • LowRange on 10/08/2020 - 14:53
          +5

          The price difference is negligible and the improvement of the jump starting ability of the 2000A is noticeable.

          The 1200A number is good on paper, but as batteries age they lose capacity. Also when you charge the battery and let it sit in your car for months, temp changes etc capacity is reduced. So in 2 years time when you go to jump start something and it's been stashed under the seat for several months you wont have 1200A

          Also 1200A doesnt have the indicator lights, and it's got the round connector for the wall and car charger https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61-7iBFSQPL.AC_SL1000.jpg which you wont find when you need it. The 2000A you just use the regular USB-C.

          • orly on 10/08/2020 - 15:13

            @LowRange: Convinced me 👍🏻

            • LowRange on 10/08/2020 - 16:16

              @orly: Yes good call, if your going to the trouble of getting one you wont regret the extra 800A for the small jump in price.

              Just took a pic of both units, didnt realize both the 2000A has bigger clamps too. https://i.imgur.com/ksUNmWI.jpg

    • pogichinoy on 10/08/2020 - 09:53

      Perhaps the context is that it was used multiple times on other vehicles?

      I know I've used it multiple times on a 10 year old Hilux, 2 year old Civic RS, and 10 year old Yaris, most of which are due to human error by leaving lights on. The Civic RS battery died suddenly, because as we all know, batteries don't really give an indication that they are on their last legs.

    • Orico on 10/08/2020 - 09:58

    I endorse this product 100%. Works like it says on the tin… each time, every time.

    PROS:
    The charge is retained for several months, although I do recharge it after each use.

    Another fantastic use is to recharge your smart phones during an extended blackout. (All of a sudden all your neighbours are your best mates).

    CONS:

    Tiny print on the user manual. Once I had it read under a magnifying light.

    Tiny LEDs.

    else, all's good.

    NOTE: This device DOES NOT recharge your vehicle's battery. It's purpose is to provide a boost to enable your engine to start.

        Well it seems to drain from full to nothing before fully charging my DJI Mavic Plat. battery. Not sure what to make of it.

        EDIT ; Capacity of DJI battery is 3800mah.

        As noted, Ill test it again this weekend, but have already tested it on two occasions and its the same. I have to bring along my PD battery pack (10,000mah) to charge the GOOLOO.

    • BargainKen on 10/08/2020 - 15:55

      The mavic battery is 3S or 4S battery pack, what that means is there's actually 3 or 4 3800mAh LiPo packs in each battery whereas the power bank is only 1S @ 20,000mAh. You'll be able to charge a few mavic mini batteries as they're only 2S 2600mAh batteries but thats about it. Look at the WHr rating of the batteries and then compare.

      • comm on 11/08/2020 - 10:16

        Ahh gotcha. Im not too good with this electronics stuff. The DJI battery is 11.4v and the rated capacity is 43.6Wh
        So this would mean that the powerbank can charge about 1.5 of these batteries?

        • BargainKen on 11/08/2020 - 11:36

          In theory yes but factor in about 30% efficiency loss and maybe you'll get 1 charge out of it.

      Well we use our cars for more than just driving to work and school.

        Actually that sounds contradictory…

          Actually your comment is pointless.

      So many (?) out of potentially millions registered with Ozbargain?

        Well it does seem a concern :)

        I bought one anyway as a birthday prezzy

      Winter is harsh on batteries, these "so many" people could have their cars sitting out in sub 0c temperatures overnight and are doing less driving due to Covid.

    Has anyone used the one from costco : https://www.costco.com.au/Automotive/Car-Truck-Accessories/C…
    I am thinking of getting one, looks like the costco product is more bang for the buck ?
    Just need it for a rainy day to jump start a 4 cylinder camry.

      The GOOLOO is 2000 amps and the Costco is 400 amps

      • tik tok on 10/08/2020 - 12:49

        Oh yeah, good point. A camry wouldn't need more than 400 amps ? But this point alone makes the costco one not an equal comparison.

      As far as I can see the one from Costco is inferior in almost every aspect for the same price. Battery capacity alone is half size of 2000A.
