The jump-starting feature is also a big part of this power bank, and the power output for it is 500 AMPs. That’s a good amount, but it’s not amazing. 500 AMPs is the minimum amount that a portable jump starter should offer because even though the HALO Bolt 58830 advertises that it can jump starts cars, ATVs, and boats, it can’t jump-start a completely dead battery. 500 AMPs of power is not enough. Verify that the battery is properly plugged into the charger. Make sure that both ends of the charger are plugged into an appropriate outlet and that the battery is properly inserted into the charger. Solutions: Disconnect the HALO BOLT ACDC 58830 and allow it to cool for several minutes. Then try the jump start process again. Structure-wise, the Halo Bolt 58830 is a power bank that is built well. The charger can heat up internally if you crank your car too many times while trying to jump-start it, so it’s best to take a break after about three cranks. This well-designed case has a very comfortable handle that allows for convenient portability on the go. Suitable for traveling, hiking, camping, or storing your large power bank when not in use.

Summary: Solutions: Turn off your headlights and any other components that may drain your car battery and try the jump start process again or consult with a certified mechanic. I bought this item to charge my cell phone in the event of a power outage. It is small, but I like that because it can be stored in a drawer. It’s very heavy (about 3 pounds) so it would not be good for travel. It does not hold a lot of charge, so it won’t recharge your phone more than once or twice. I charged it for about 10 hours and then plugged my phone into it with the cord that came with the phone and only got a 60% charge on my phone.The USB ports have a power button in between them that turns on both ports, and when pressed, the USB port button turns blue. To turn off the USB ports, press the power button again. Okay, so what can you do with a 15,900mAh power capacity with the two USB ports, an AC outlet, or a 500 AMP jump starter? Well, quite a few things, but not as much as you thought you could.

The Bolt 58830 power bank’s build quality is pretty good, as the structure of the power bank is put together well. The entire power bank is made of plastic, so it doesn’t exactly feel premium, but it does hold up well whenever you need to use it. Power banks are among the most useful chargers that you can own. Portable power stations are an even more reliable type of power bank, and ones that can jump-start your cars can be lifesavers.Plug the jumper cables into the jump start output on the HALO BOLT AIR. Make sure the jumper cables are fully plugged into the jump start output before trying to jump your vehicle. When it comes to powering a laptop charger or charging devices simultaneously, this power bank does not overheat. The only time it would overheat is when you’re jump-starting a car with it. We recommend cranking your car three times, and if it doesn’t start, then take a break for about five minutes, let the power bank cool down and then try again. The Halo Bolt has 58,830mWh of battery power within, and the official description suggests that it can provide up to several hours of additional usage for a MacBook Pro or iPad Air. In my testing, the results didn’t quite match those targets. We have been storm chasing for about 5 years now and one of the things that has been a constant struggle for us, is finding a way to charge our equipment (phones, iPads, cameras, GPS) when we are out in the middle of nowhere. We have tried using solar panels but they don’t work nearly as well as we would like for them to. Another problem with solar is how unreliable it is when it’s cloudy or raining. The Halo Bolt charger has changed all that! Now were are not just limited to charging our devices while we are driving or plugged into an outlet at home. We can charge anything anywhere! This thing is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs or wants portable power.

You can use the USB ports, the AC outlet, and the flashlight at the same time with this power bank. However, you can only use the Bolt alone’s jump starter, with nothing else being on.The AC outlet is one of the highlights of the Bolt 58830, as you’re able to power an appliance or, more importantly, a laptop charger. We say, “More importantly” because the three-prong AC outlet is meant for laptop chargers. 65W may be useful for powering a lamp, but really, we found it to be used as a power source for a laptop charger. LED Flood Light - Don’t be left in the dark. The HALO Bolt Compact has a bright, LED floodlight built-in. It’s perfect for changing a tire on a dark road or for finding the pen at the bottom of your purse. Powering an appliance or a laptop charger with the AC outlet can only be done for an hour. Since it has a 65W power output, if you’re powering a laptop charger that’s within that power range, then you’re able to power it for an hour.
