IT WORKS!!! Started my Ford E350 Cargo Van — Battery was completely dead!
IT WORKS!!! I have the bad habit of sometimes forgetting to start/use my Ford E350 Van (V8, gas). I only use it periodically and, when I forget, the battery drains.I also do NOT want to use our other more current/modern cars to jump start the Van because, FYI, it can damage the sensitive electronics of newer cars. I also want to avoid using my Roadside Hazzard Insurance because excessive use can raise insurance rated.I got this Jump Starter via a Lightning Deal for ~$43… Well worth it if it works!We do own a HALO and have successfully used that to jump start neighbor’s cars and even a small pickup truck. But, the HALO is not powerful enough to handle big vehicles (like work vans or heavy duty trucks) that require high amp capacities.I researched my van and found that I would require a jump starter that can handle at least 2000 to 2500 amps. This jump starter asserts 5000 amps… more than enough (overkill).As you can view with the video, the jump starter WORKED! I was on vacation and my Ford E350’s battery was completely dead — not even the door lights or automatic door locks worked! No electrical power at all.For some reason (it could have been user error) it took TWO attempts to start my van with the jump starter (see video). But it definitelt handled my big heavy duty commercial van like a champ. I cannot believe such a little and lightweight device would start it — especially with a battery that was completely drained. I let my van running for 30+ minutes and it is back to full form.The video actually shows my experience from first opening the product, to charging it, and to finally using it to successfully jump starting my van. Again, I got this jump starter from a Amazon on a Lightning Deal and received it overnight (Early morning the next day… Isn’t Amazon amazing!).Here are a few points I found:● The jump starter arrived at 75% power. I wanted to give the starter a fair test, so I charged it to 100%. I did lose track of time, but I estimate that it took appx. 2.5 hours to charge the remaining 25%. That’s not exactly a fast charge. But, most people (including myself) would charge this overnight before going to a trip or camping. So a potential ~10hr period for a full charge (from 0% to 100%) is not an issue.● The instructions are not as clear as HALO’s (HALO has clear instructions in the carrying protective bag). But it is very user friendly and not difficult to use. However, I would suggest making an instruction card, maybe laminate it, and include it in the carrying case. This way your spouse, children, whoever, can easily use it.● Maybe I missed it, but the instructions DO NOT say anything about a “clicking” sound when you first connect the jumper clamps to the car battery. This was disconcerting. After all, a “ticking clicking” sound is something no one wants to hear while handling anything that can spark and explode… ha! But the sound is apparently part of the process.● My ONE grievance is with the jumper clamps… They are TINY! I wish they were bigger and more substantial. They were just barely big enough to clamp onto my van’s terminals.Other than that, I am VERY HAPPY with this jump starter. It is small, handled my commercial van like a champ, and I will be taking it with me on every van trip.

Car Jump Starter
I bought the VACASSO 5000A Car Jump Starter to keep in my car for emergencies, and so far it works pretty well. It’s small, lightweight, and easy to store in the trunk.I used it once when my battery was low, and it started my car quickly without any issues. The built-in flashlight is also a nice bonus, especially at night. I like that it can also charge my phone, which makes it more useful.

Car connection cables are short
Works great. Very slow to charge and the connection cables are very short, almost to short to connect to my car’s battery.
