A 2-in-1 jump starter typically combines a battery jump starter with another function, like a power bank or an air compressor. Here’s a brief rundown of what you might find:
-
Jump Starter: This is the primary feature. It provides a surge of power to start a car with a dead battery. Look for:
- Peak Amps: This indicates the maximum power the device can deliver to start a vehicle.
- Capacity: Measured in milliamp-hours (mAh) or amp-hours (Ah), it affects how many times you can jump-start a vehicle before needing to recharge the unit.
- Compatibility: Ensure it’s suitable for your vehicle’s engine size and type.
-
Secondary Function:
- Power Bank: Allows you to charge electronic devices like smartphones and tablets. Look for USB ports and their output (e.g., 2.1A for faster charging).
- Air Compressor: Useful for inflating tires or other inflatables. Check for features like pressure gauge, maximum pressure, and hose length.
Additional features might include LED flashlights, emergency strobes, or even safety features like overcharge protection.
