The unit is compact and lightweight, being easy to carry around. It has an ergonomic design and comes with 2 USB ports that allow you to charge 2 devices at the same time. The built-in LED light is very useful in case of emergencies. A full charge doesn’t take too long and once fully charged, the unit can hold its charge for up to 4 months (it’s recommended to use it at least once a month). Summary: 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.

The instructions say you can use the cigarette lighter plug to run something that needs 120 volts, but it doesn’t work at all. Maybe the unit was defective, but I couldn’t get anything to happen when I plugged something into the 12 volt plug either. It was supposed to have an LED light built in, but nothing happened when I pushed the button on top. I took pictures of everything as proof of what happened, but didn’t bother to return it because it wasn’t worth the effort or postage costs. If you’re buying this item to use in case of an emergency, think again. There are other devices out there that are much better than this one! Power delivery Halo Bolt 58830 Charging power from the USB ports is not impressive as they only have a 12W output. The main thing to focus on is whether you can use the AC outlet with a 65W output and a 500 Amp jump starter.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. 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. Also, the Air compressor and charging ports are very convenient. A must for anyone who drives a lt or who are on the road at night. can be of great assistance in many cases. Try different charging outlets. If one outlet works but other outlets don’t, try using a different outlet or inserting the battery into another device to see if that helps charge it up.

The Halo Bolt 58830 is a multi-purpose power solution, which can be used as a portable charger, jump starter, and air compressor. If you want to buy this unit, you should know that it has a good price/quality ratio. In terms of how many times you’re able to jump-start a vehicle, it depends on what you’re trying to jump-start. If you’re starting from a full power capacity, the Halo Bolt 58830 power bank can jump-start sedan cars about 200 times, but when it comes to jump-starting SUVs, you can expect about 90 jump starts. Output Charging: 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. The Halo Bolt 58830 is a useful gadget for those who like to go camping and traveling, or just to have in your house in case of an emergency. It’s really great to be able to charge your phone or other gadgets, when you’re on the road and aren’t near a power source. The jump starting capacity is also very impressive, and it’s good to know you’ll always be able to get the car going 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. 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. Reason: The HALO BOLT has detected a high temperature condition. The solution is the same as the above. 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. If your car battery still has juice left, then this Bolt jump starter can jump-start your car. However, if you want a portable jump starter that has a higher success rate of working, a 1000 AMP one or higher will be a good idea to have. Input Charging:
