5 Fubag Drive 400
Country: Germany
Average price: 6 100 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The starting device from a well-known German manufacturer is distinguished by high workmanship, reliability of components and durability. The maximum starting current is 400 A. This is quite enough to start the engine of a middle class passenger car. Moreover, the device can charge a laptop, tablet or smartphone. At the same time, the weight of the starting device is only 300 grams - it is simply unbelievable how it manages to start a car with a dead battery!
But the owners in their reviews confirm the declared capabilities of the device.Until fully discharged, it is able to provide several effective attempts to start the engine - their number depends on the ambient temperature. However, even at -30 °C Fubag Drive 400 can provide 5-6 such attempts. In addition to all its advantages, the launcher has a built-in flashlight, which can always come in handy on a long journey.

Rating (2022): 4.7
The products of the Chinese brand Xiaomi are always in high demand, and it doesn’t matter what it produces, a lawn mower or a car launcher. Now we have a compact, but at the same time powerful and capacious 11000 mAh battery with a starting current of up to 600 amperes. Such a gadget will easily start your car on a cold one and will do it at least twice on one charge. And here we must pay tribute, the brand does not try to mislead customers, and honestly talks about two launches.
Reviews about this product are not only numerous, but most are written in a positive way. Praised for high build quality and reliability. The case is sealed, and the gadget weighs only 400 grams. The charge holds for a very long time, several months, that is, you do not need to charge its battery once a week, or even more often, as is the case with other devices. And to top it all - an adequate price tag. In general, the best solution in the most compact form factor.
3 DIGMA DCB-160
Country: China
Average price: 7 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
The starting device is also an autonomous battery, that is, a power bank, which means that it can not only revive your car, but also charge a smartphone, tablet, and even a laptop.The main thing is that there are appropriate connectors for this. Now we have the best device in front of us, since it has the maximum number of inputs and outputs. Connectors of 4 types and formats, plus switches with the ability to adjust the current strength and other parameters.
The capacity of the battery installed on board DIGMA DCB-160 mAh, and the maximum starting current is 600 amperes. This is the optimal value for a passenger car, which is enough even to start a cold engine. True, one cannot count on more than two launches, although the manufacturer assures about 10 or more sessions. Customer reviews also talk about the fast discharge of the gadget. But as a power bank, it works great. Self-discharge is not observed, and the energy consumption corresponds to the norms.
2 Aurora Atom 40
Country: South Korea
Average price: RUB 28,200
Rating (2022): 4.8
This launcher is one of the most bulky and heavy in our rating and on the market as a whole. But such parameters are simply necessary for him. Firstly, this is the most powerful equipment that can even start a truck engine that does not have a battery. 2000 amps of inrush current is a lot. Secondly, on board is the most capacious battery of 40 thousand mAh.
If you have an ordinary passenger car, one charge of this power bank is enough for about 10 cold starts, and this is not an empty advertising statement, but a reality. A real assistant in the most difficult situations, which simply must be in the trunk of your car. But you have to put up with the large size and weight, as well as the lack of a normal case.The device will either have to be stored in the usual box in which it is supplied, or to look for a place for it, and such that it does not damage fragile electronics. In addition to the form factor and the lack of a case, buyers have no complaints.
1 BERKUT SPECIALIST JSC-300C
Country: Russia
Average price: 16 500 rub.
Rating (2022): 5.0
A capacitor-type starter can receive a working charge from any power source with a voltage of at least 5 V. This unique technology allows you to charge the starter from an already practically “dead” battery. Information about filling the container is displayed on the front panel in the form of a diode scale, and when the device is ready for operation, the “Status” marker will light up.
The owners consider this launcher to be one of the best. They say that almost “to zero” a discharged battery allows the device to gain charge in a little less than 2 minutes. The most positive ratings in the reviews are given to the function of starting a car engine without a battery. To do this, it is only necessary that the BERKUT SPECIALIST JSC-300C is already charged and ready to go. In addition, when starting a car with a diesel engine, it is possible to activate a special mode that provides a delay (while the candles are heating up). After putting this device into practice, most users have changed their minds about the overestimated cost of the device. The features that this Jump Starter demonstrates are definitely worth the money spent.

The manufacturer has added to the functionality and its own latest development AVRT - this is the automatic adjustment of the necessary starting current to start the engine and protect the on-board network of your car. As a result, ROM consistently receives positive reviews and is in demand. Among the pluses is a non-greedy package with 8 adapters and a convenient case for storing them, a flashlight and a strobe that can work in SOS mode. So in case of an emergency situation on the road, you can further protect yourself and your car with the help of light signals. Of the minuses - only suitable for cars with a voltage of 12V.

Rating (2022): 4.4
Battery chargers almost always look the same. Nondescript boxes with sensors and buttons. But this manufacturer decided to dilute this boredom and created the most original and most importantly compact gadget. This is a starting device that will start your car if it runs out of battery. Maximum starting current 110 amps. Not so much, so in cold weather the gadget may not be able to cope with the task.
The charging current is adjustable. From 0.8 to 10 amps. That is, you can charge almost any battery, regardless of the type of their design and content. Reviews about the device are mostly positive, and even discarding those related to design, we can conclude that we have a completely adequate device with all the necessary functions and capabilities. And add to this an attractive price tag and we get the best launcher that you can always carry with you in a car, where it does not take up much space.

Rating (2022): 4.6
If you are looking for the most reliable and high quality jump starter with battery charging capability, this is the one for you. The quality of the product is confirmed not only by numerous tests that are easy to find on the net, but also by reviews of real buyers. Yes, the product is not the cheapest, but its price tag is fully justified, since such gadgets are bought once and for life, well, or for a very long time.
The maximum starting current here is 180 amperes, and batteries can be charged up to 700 watts inclusive. There is a built-in ammeter and the ability to adjust the current. The device takes care of the batteries and prolongs their service life. Top notch and build quality. And this applies to both internal equipment and external modules. Even the crocodiles clinging to the terminals are very powerful here. One look at them is enough to understand how long they will last. But the network cable is short. You will have to look for an outlet nearby.
