$59 for the cheapest jump starter. Probably a bit more reliable compare to the other unbranded one. Can start cars with up to 8L gas engine and 6L diesel engine. Bought one before and it seems ok jump starting my beautiful Falcon.
How long are the batteries in these supposed to last/stay reliable as an emergency backup for?
I usually fully charge mine and the last time I check after leaving it in the glove box for 6 months, it still got 3 bars. So probably quite a long while but just charge it up every 3 months just to be sure.
Three bars didn’t jump start my ford mondeo. Had to charge fully.
So I’d say every month.
I second this. I've got a quarterly reminder to charge mine. I've got the gt4000s and it only drops 1% between charges.
I’ve had mine for 4 or 5 years and still going well. From memory, I think 3 bars was still ok to start a 6L V8.
I charge mine about 1 time per year. Uses a couple percent for each start.
Documentation recommends to charge every 6 months.
Just bought a Gooloo Titan GP4000Pro on Aliexpress for $108 and it arrived very fast for aliexpress. Would pick that over these choices
Just checked. Yep definitely go for the GP4000Pro on Aliexpress instead of the GT3000 on eBay
IMHO the GT3000 is the better unit, different tech holds the charge longer, IP65, 100W PD, display is better etc.
Got the link
Good price, but do we think there will be better cashback offers on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
Let me check my crystal ball
And?
It's as long as a piece of string.
PSA don’t buy rac batteries and you won’t need this
those bastards make a fortune on those, came out to a work colleagues car (flat battery) & told her the battery needed replaced, I'd warned her they would, quote was almost double what you could buy the same spec battery for. Needless to say she declined, car still using same battery 2 years later
Yeah they’re known for trying to sell you and install a new battery when the exisiting one still has plenty of life. My first battery went for 8 years but they wanted to replace it after 4 years.They also might try and sell you new tyres.
Should concentrate on trying to minimise landfill rather than making a buck on unnecessary replacements.
Australian Rooboost 2000 $99 delivered. https://www.amazon.com.au/ROOBOOST-Starter-Australian-Operat…
I think negs are for it being Australian, very interesting indeed! it was usually Commi Chayna!
Highly recommend. Got one myself (GP4000) and it really is an excellent unit. Have either a dodgy battery/power drain in car for a while now, and haven't been able to get it checked. This Gooloo jumps my car effortlessly every single time. Multiple uses without having to recharge. I did have a cheaper version before, and whilst it was ok, no where near as good as this one. Definitely handy tool to have
In the exact same boat with the same model (GP4000). My Kia Sorento has had a strange drain for a few years now, many checks later and multiple batteries and still haven't found the issue.
Using this and it's 'Boost' mode has jump started the car each time. I charge after each use and probably use it every couple of months between uses.
Sounds like you could use one of those battery terminal switches, with the big green knob you turn to switch on and off. When you know you're not using it for a while, turn it off. Stops all the known drains like alarms, and the unknown fault drains.
I know you've got a jump starter to solve your problem, but each time the battery goes flat you kill it a bit more.
Thanks for the information. I'm pretty car illiterate, so this will be something I will chase and ask the mechanic next time I go in.
Any idea if these are worth it/better over the AstroAI ones on amazon?
I'm waiting for a good brand to make a hybrid of an air compressor and the jump starter. I love my xiaomi pump but don't like how I have to now keep two things charged and ready.
Here's an example of one https://www.amazon.com.au/Battery-Starter-Compressor-Inflato…

message to OP….. beautiful falcon?? come on…. they'll think we're a bit funny!
could you change it to magnificent falcon? :)
got a GP4000 …. should be enough to start a couple of tractors, a couple of buses….. then the falcon, but that never needs a jump!
True OzBargainers don’t buy a jumpstarter, they just use their 12V ozito battery, grab some spare cables, and hope for the best. 😄😄
I have had the GP3000 for an number of years now, and gave mine a bit of a hiding this week as the battery in my 2.8L ute was stuffed. It easily managed 3 starts in one day.
