• Is There A Jump Starter Box That Recognizes And Charges A Completely Dead Battery?
  Hey Kevin - that’s an important one, and Projecta actually handles it well. If the battery voltage is extremely low, Projecta units like the 900A # VX95NR, 1,200A # VX63NR, and 1,400A # VX73NR have a manual override mode. That mode lets you force a charge long enough to bring the battery up and start the vehicle. This is another spot where Projecta tends to outperform cheaper jump starters that just shut down and leave you stuck. You still get safety protections - you’re just telling...

• Jump Pack That Can Charge Phones And Accessories As Well As Jump Starting 12V Car Battery
  Hey Natalie! Great question - and yes, they can. Models like the Projecta 900A # VX95NR and 1,200A # VX63NR double as small power banks with USB outputs, so charging a phone, tablet, or GPS is no problem. That’s especially handy on road trips or during power outages. Just keep in mind, using USB power does drain the internal battery a bit - but again, once you jump a vehicle, the pack recharges itself automatically. That’s something cheaper units don’t handle nearly as well. They also...

• Emergency Jump Start That Works With Multiple Vehicles And Battery Types - Top Of The Line
  Good morning Sandra! Thanks for the context - that helps a lot. And yes I agree, some low quality jump starters don't last long at all. If you’re juggling multiple vehicles, especially trucks, stepping up to the Projecta 1,400A # VX73NR or even the 2,000A # VX23NR can make life easier. The # VX23NR adds 24V capability, which opens the door to heavier equipment down the road. That said, many families do just fine with a # VX63NR 1,200A as a do-everything option for cars and light trucks....

• How Does The Portable Projecta Jump Starter Box Compare To NOCO Jump Starter?
  Good morning Lisa! Yes these two brands come up a lot since they are both great quality, name brand options. NOCO makes solid jump starters like the 1,250A # NOC48VR, but one big advantage of Projecta models like the # VX63NR 1,200A and # VX73NR 1,400A is how they handle charging. With Projecta, the unit can recharge itself from the vehicle’s battery + alternator after the jump, which dramatically reduces how often you need to plug it in. Projecta also uses LiFePO4 batteries, which are...

• Best Jump Starter For 2018 Ram 1500 with 5.7 Hemi V8 In Winter
  Hey Brandon! Thanks for the truck details - that helps a ton. For a 5.7L Ram, the Projecta 1,200A jump starter # VX63NR can definitely do the job, but I do recommend stepping up to the 1,400A # VX73NR for full-size trucks. You get more starting headroom, especially if the battery is deeply discharged or it’s below freezing out. The # VX73NR keeps the same easy operation and rapid recharge benefits as the smaller models, just with more muscle. If you ever plan to help someone else with...

• Are There Good Quality Safe Jump Starters That Work With Hybrid Vehicles 12v Battery?
  Good morning Jeff! Yes The Projecta jump packs such as # VX95NR 900A and # VX63NR 1,200A work with the 12v battery on hybrid vehicles. Even though the drivetrain is different, hybrids still use a standard 12V battery for starting and electronics. Projecta’s built-in protections make them safe to use on modern vehicles, including hybrids. They actually have a patent for this hybrid-compatible setup. It basically allows everything to communicate to get voltage to the 12v battery properly...

• Battery Jump Start Pack For Emergency Use That Can Fit In Glove Box Of 2019 Subaru Outback
  Hey Megan! Hope your day’s going well - that charger is going to be great for emergency use! For a Subaru Outback, the Projecta Intelli-Start 900A # VX95NR is actually a really solid fit. It’s designed for 12V batteries and gas engines up to 6.0L, so you’re well within its comfort zone. It’s also small enough to live in a glovebox or door pocket, which makes it more likely you’ll actually keep it with you. Compared to a lot of cheaper jump packs online, the # VX95NR stands out because...

• Which Projecta Portable Jump Pack Is Best For Jumping Car Battery In Cold Winter Climate?
  Hey Ryan - cold weather definitely changes the equation. While the 900A jump box # VX95NR can work in winter, cold batteries need more help, so the 1,200A # VX63NR is usually the smarter pick. More amps means less strain on the jump pack and quicker starts when temps . Projecta units also outperform a lot of cheaper jump starters in the cold thanks to their battery chemistry and safety controls. If winter reliability matters, sizing up is rarely a regret. Here are the temperature specs...

• What Makes Projecta Jump Starters More Expensive Than Some Other Brands?
  Hey Alan! Totally fair question lol. One of the biggest differences with Projecta Intelli-Start models like the # VX95NR 900A and # VX63NR 1,200A is that they recharge themselves after every successful jump. Once the engine is running, the alternator back-charges the jump pack automatically, usually topped off within 40 seconds. That’s something most low-cost jump starters - and even many name-brand ones - simply don’t do. For that convenience feature alone, I'd opt for this lineup. So...

• Which Projecta Jump Starter Is Best For 2020 Toyota Highlander
  Good morning Chris! Thanks for including the vehicle - that helps a lot. Both the Projecta 900A jump box # VX95NR and 1,200A jump box # VX63NR will work on a Highlander, but for midsize SUVs, I usually lean toward the 1,200A. The extra amps give you more breathing room if the battery is really low, the weather’s cold, or the car’s been sitting awhile. The nice thing with both Projecta models - and where they beat a lot of cheaper jump starters and even some NOCO models - is the rapid...
