Buture Car Jump Starter - Guaranteed to start your car if you have dead battery!
During COVID19 lockdown, I have not driven the car since end of February. Last week, I tried to start the car which has been sitting outside for weeks. Sadly, the battery was completely flat so that I had to open the car manually as the electronic key fob would not work. I thought of calling the AA but I decided to postpone the drive and opted to go to Amazon to search for a car charger instead thereby reducing contact with AA personnel. During my search, I stumbled across several Jump Starters. In the end, based on the feedback that I had read and following my intuition - I decided to go for the Buture Car Jump Starter. I could not have been more right! Yay!I ordered the unit on 29 May 2020 and it arrived yesterday afternoon, 1 June 2020. The unit arrived with 85% charge showing on the display. The pack came with different wires (as advertised) but did not come with the plug to charge the unit (as advertised too) so I used my spare Samsung phone charger for charging. I think it fully charged the unit after a little over an hour.I connected the Red/Dark Orange Alligator Clip to the battery (+) terminal and the Black Alligator Clip to the (-) terminal. The indicator light (in the base of the alligator clip) initially started to flash green and red. I waited for the light to go a steady green in colour roughly less than 30 seconds - then jumped into the car and started the ignition. I was very pleasantly surprised that the car started on the very first try which made me very chuffed as the charging unit did not disappoint. Well done Buture Car Jump Starter!I normally do not write reviews but as I was very happy with the product I decided to write one as requested by Buture when I emailed them about the coupon I had received as one of the lucky 100 customers enclosed in the bag that the unit came in. I could exchange the coupon for an Air Compressor Pump Coupon or 15% Off Coupon as a gift. The coupon wording says they would get back to me within 12 working hours. I emailed Buture today at 11:46 today and got a response from them at 12:29. Now, that was quick!On the basis of my experience, I would highly recommend the Buture Car Jump Starter to start your car if your battery is completely flat based one my experience!I am now waiting for the Air Compressor Pump and will update this review once I’ve given it a try.

Holds the charge for months.
I bought this some time back after seing one of the rescue services start a car with a similar unit.It's been used a few times on my car and has been loaned out to friends. I have no hesitation in recommending it. It holds the charge very well between top ups.

Works perfectly!
I was initially looking at ordering a different brand of car jump battery, but that one had a long lead time of more than 3 weeks. My car (1.6l petrol) didn't start when I wanted to drive it the other day because of a flat battery, and I didn't want to wait another 3 weeks.Then I decided to go for this Buture instead, with a quoted delivery time of 1 week. Surprisingly, the day after placing the order my package arrived. So that's just brilliant!The product came with 87% charged battery. While reading the manual I charged it up to about 90% in just a few minutes really, and then I decided to give it a try, as I wanted to drive my car.Just follow the instructions, and the car started the engine directly, so works as advertised. I used the function to connect the Buture to the car battery using the clamps. After the jumpstart the LED screen indicated down to 85% capacity. This product also has the option to charge the car battery via the cigarette lighter, but I didn't try that. That would take 15 minutes waiting, while directly connecting to the car battery is immediate. It's just a matter of preference I think.Now I'm using the Butura to charge my phone.I've only used the product 1 time, so can't say anything about long term use yet. However I do know I will keep this thing charged up in my car at all times. If in case my battery is flat, or if you need to help someone else out, this is perfect. It is small and in a nice carrier bag, easy to keep in the car. Build quality looks good. And it's no hassle with traditional jumper cables and a donor car. If noone else is around, you can at least try this first, without waiting for 2 hours for roadside assistance. This is certainly very usefull when the battery is just too low to start the engine.So in short: great product, super convenient, anyone can use this. Definately Recommended!

Very useful tool to keep in your car
I took delivery of this unit today, the delivery time was great. The unit is reasonably solidly built, the jump start cables are chunky enough to instill confidence, the warning light could be useful during a breakdown at night, the included accessories are useful and make the unit quite versatile, and everything stows away in a nice sturdy storage box that doesn't take up too much space.The device came with a 92% charge. I needed to change the battery on my car (Mazda MX-5), so used it with the cigarette lighter adapter and an ODB memory keeper straight out of the box, and it kept the settings (radio presets, clock, etc) perfectly during the battery swap.Although I haven't used it to jump start my car yet, I am confident that it will do the job if it comes to it. It's one of those items that you hope you'll never need, but will be grateful to have when you need it, and I'll definitely keep it in my car. I can see it coming in handy as a powerbank on travels or driving holidays, too.The only thing I would mention is that the output to which the cigarette lighter adapter attaches can be switched to either 12, 16 or 19 V (the output voltage is indicated on the screen), and care must be taken that the unit is set to supply the correct voltage when connecting a device using the cigarette lighter adapter. This is not a negative point, but something to keep in mind.
