AstroAI S8 Car Battery Jump Starter, Car Jumper Starter Battery Pack for Up to 6.0L Gas & 3.0L Diesel Engines, 12V Portable Jump Box with 3 Modes Flashlight and Jumper Cable (Orange)

I purchased the AstroAI S8 Car Battery Jump Starter for my daughter’s first car, and honestly, it’s one of the best “parent purchases” I’ve made. Knowing she has a portable car jump starter in her trunk gives me real peace of mind, especially as a new driver still learning to handle unexpected situations. The AstroAI S8 jump starter battery pack is compact, lightweight, and easy to use—even for someone with zero car experience. We tested it at home, and the instructions were clear and straightforward. It’s impressive that this 12V portable jump box can handle engines up to 6.0L gas and 3.0L diesel, which means it’s more than capable for her car and even mine if needed. I also really appreciate the built-in 3-mode flashlight (flash, strobe, SOS). That feature alone makes it a great safety tool, especially if she’s ever stuck at night. The jumper cables feel sturdy and well-made, not cheap or flimsy like some others I’ve seen. The bright red design makes it easy to spot in the trunk, and the battery holds a charge well. This car battery jump starter is now something I recommend to every parent with a teen driver—or honestly, anyone who wants to avoid being stranded. Reliable, easy to use, and great value. The AstroAI S8 Car Jumper Starter Battery Pack is a must-have for first-time car owners and families alike. Highly recommend!

When I took the AstroAI S8 out of the packaging, I looked at the unit and said to myself "you're kidding me this will never work but whatev's I'll give it a try". Boy was I wrong, this jump starter nails it every time. Early am, I took my dogs to the beach, returned, opened the lift gate, the pups jumped in and that was it, out of nowhere the battery died.....literally nothing was working. Got a jump and was back on the road. Back home, left it over night same thing. Luckily, I thought this would be a good time to buy a jump starter, cause you never know. I'd been toying with it for a while and already have a tire inflator/pressure monitor as a 'just in case'. Honestly, I didn't expect this to happen again but it did. My car is only a few years old, it's a BMW X5 4.0i. The jump charger not only needs to be able to crank & spark the engine but power-up all the monitors/heads-up display/driving/safety/management/seat passenger detectors/climate/level & motion sensors and way more stuff/systems in tandem with cranking the engine. By-Jove....it can do all of it, the car starts without any hesitation. Unfortunately, from a dead battery, the default is for all the electronics to fire up at once, so there's no 'lite start' option. I was really surprised. Useability is a sinch. Plug-in the jumper cables to the AstroAI S8 unit, pop the hood, connect the cables to the vehicle contacts (a tiny green LED by the Boost button start flashing), press the 'Boost' button at the base of the cables, get behind the wheel and start the car. I couldn't tell the difference between the jump start and regular start. It can even start the car with less than 75% charge. I can expect at least 4-5 starts from the device. It charges from a standard USB port (USB A) and when it's fully topped-up it stops charging. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I should point-out the car was jumped from designated contact points, not the battery. Also, as soon as I press the 'boost' button I can hear the car come to life and go through some sort of boot-up. By the time I get behind the wheel, my key is detected, everything is as normal and start the vehicle. There was an instance whereby the alarm went off, I just hit 'unlock' on the fob and that did the trick. On the downside, the jumper cables seem a little short (I had no problem reaching my car's contact points) and you will have no problems jumping the battery directly. Although, I've see in some vehicles the contact points are more than 18in apart, this will require some sort of extension. As a blanket synopsis: The AstroAI S8 works great, it easily starts a super systems-power hungry vehicle w. a 3.0 inline 6.

Excellent product. Works well, even on partial charge, has saved me many inconvenient/expensive jumps. Had one of these (paid twice as much) 10 years ago that got stolen. This is just as powerful at half the price. Worth having on hand (remember to charge it up fully with summer weather /not using for 3 or more months!), keep in purse or in car. You won't regret it.

Well this thing works. I have GMC Acadia, my car battery has been getting weaker and weaker when I would go to start it in the morning. The colder it gets the worse it got. I figured I try this, charge it up and keep it in my car as I knew my battery life was very limited. Sure enough all I got was clicking, my battery was dead, it was 5 degrees outside. I hooked this up to my battery, was very easy, and so much better than needing another car to jump it. I waited a minute, went to start the car and got nothing. I was nervous at this point that it didn’t work. I readjusted the positive cable as it just looked off and tried it again. The car started right up !!! I was so glad I thought ahead and got this thing. This charger is great, small enough to fit in my glove box if need. Great design and packs some power to start a pretty much completely dead battery. 5 stars for this one.

So far, so good. I bought thus to keep on our Harkey, just in case of an emergency. It's small and light weight but gets the job done.

Very affordable, convenient & easy to use. Good quality. Simple features. Compact design easily fits in a glove compartment. Every car should have one, it’s worth the cost if it’s used only one time. 3rd party services will charge 3x the cost of this battery for a simple jump. Great battery power, I’ve used it 2x without recharging but haven’t tested beyond that. A larger truck may need a stronger battery but this is fine for a standard vehicle.

I ordered this AstroAI S8 battery a little over a year ago. Its primary purpose would be to have an option for jumpstarting the battery in my 2004 Lexus ES330, and its secondary purpose would be to have an option for charging my phone or other portable electronic devices. At that time in late 2024, I was transitioning to a new vehicle but was keeping the 2004 Lexus as a backup. Because I wouldn't be driving the 2004 Lexus much, I felt the need to have an external battery option for jumpstarting the car battery. I haven't had to use this until now, but man am I glad I had this. After fully charging it when I received it, it had been sitting in the vehicle unused for the past 12+ months. I don't recall if I ever recharged it during the past 12 months. Regardless though, it seemed to hold a charge pretty well. I had to use it this past weekend and it appeared fully charged. The first attempt at starting the car was unsuccessful, and it did use up ~25% of the battery. I was worried that the issue wasn't a dead battery but something more significant. However, after exploring other possibilities, I decided to give the jumpstart another shot. This time it worked perfectly and the engine started up! This was really easy to use and it came in clutch. Nothing more I could ask for. Just be aware that each attempt at jumpstarting may use about 25% of the charge, so realistically you have 4 attempts at most before this external battery is drained.

I've had to use these 3 times since getting it. I thought I'd have to charge it after each time, but it doesn't need to be. It is so small and compact. It is an incredible product. I hope it will last for years, since I just replaced my battery. Time will tell.
