• 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...

  Good morning Jeff! Yes The Projecta jump packs such as # VX95NR 900A and # VX63NR 1,200A work with the 12v battery on hybrid vehicles.

It basically allows everything to communicate to get voltage to the 12v battery properly...

• 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...
