When being stranded on the side of the road is not an option
Being stuck on the side of the road or in a lot is not an option when there is work to be done. Whether it was a dead battery due to cold, parasitic draw from sitting for a long time, headlamps or auxiliary left on or breaker not pulled overnight the reason does not matter when you need to get going now. Once you hear that“click click click click” noise you know what needs to be done, but waiting for help or being stuck is something that is completely avoidable these days and is more of a choice than a accident. With the proliferation of lithium-ion technology (the same battery technology powering your phone, tablet or laptop that you are more than likely reading this on is the same technology powering those Tesla motors driving down the road) long lasting, safe and reliable battery packs are now available and will easily fit under the bench, in the truck, behind the captains seat or tucked away in the locker.
I have had the fortune of testing many jump packs over the years, tearing them open and creating interesting power sources for my projects, cars and inventions, however to this point my go to jump pack would always be a NOCO jumper. My NOCO went with me everywhere until I was lucky enough to find out about the Goodall jump packs. My jump pack of choice (depending on the type of vehicle you have) is a the JP-12-5000T for my V8 but if you have a larger truck, AG equipment or are trying to jump start a train 😉 the JP-12-10000 from Goodall is an amazing choice! These jump packs are by far the most capable, trusted and robust jumper and emergency power packs on the market. They deliver peace of mind while driving to get somewhere or while earning on the road if you’re a truck driver or other professional delivery or transportation person. The Goodall jump packs are rated for jump starting dead batteries for vehicles from your normal car or truck up to class 6 engines (10L engine jumpstarts) for the 5000 amp model (JP-12-5000 & JP-12-5000T) and up to class 7 or 8 semi-trucks and equipment with the 10,000 amp model (JP-12-10000). Because these jump packs are light weight, from 6lbs to 11lbs respectively and compact they easily fit into smaller spaces and are completely worth the investment to have the security and knowledge that you will not be stranded on the side of the road due to dead batteries.
Other factors to consider when looking at the Goodall jump packs for purchase or when comparing to other jump packs include features such as the ability to charge other devices, see the in the dark and continuous power output. Both the 5,000 amp and 10,000 amp Goodall jump pack models have built in USB ports and cigarette lighter adapter ports for you charge your phones, tablets and other electronics. They also include an optional 12V power output for power inverters or other accessories that can help to power or charge laptops or other devices.
Both models include Integrated LED lamp panels that give you the ability to light dark areas, initiate emergency signaling such as SOS and strobe while still providing the ability to illuminate your work area in the case you need to replace a tire, plug a flat or look for that slapping noise on the side of the highway in the dark. Also the “Protect All” safety technology that Goodall has built into their entire line of safety and jump packs includes reverse polarity, low voltage protection, short circuit, over heat and over voltage protection which will keep both your unit, vehicle, battery and business safe through the entire emergency situation. This gives reliability and security that the units are extremely safe and will help to provide many hours of sustainable and continuous power to you and your vehicles before ever needing a recharge. Although the product manual says you should always jump on a charge of over 40% battery life (yes they have battery indicators) they are still able to jump for many more cycles beyond this.
Additional points that I give to the Goodall Jump packs are the fact that they have built in trouble and error code graphics printed on the housing of the unit. At the bottom of the jump pack is a label with the possible error codes and explanations. This is especially important to me because if I am already in an unfavorable or upsetting situation the last thing I want to do is try and remember where I placed the owner’s manual or start shoveling through my documents box to try and figure out what some random error code means. Having a screen to give me some sort of feedback regarding the tool and its status is big because I have owned several jump packs where the only indication was a single LED or some row of LED’s that give a hint at what’s wrong but no actual explanation. With the Goodall Jump packs you can tell that there is thought and intentionality in the design for the professional.
In conclusion if you are driving professionally, responsible for a fleet or running your own business having a Goodall jumper onboard with you will provide peace of mind, mitigate your risk, provide security and capability to keep you, your vehicle and jobs on the road.
