Q: I used it once to jump my car now its at 25% and it's been charging for 3 days still at 25%
submitted by David - 1 year ago
A: Hi David. To better assist you our Customer Service Team would need to gather more information about the specific charger you are using to charge the PBJ300. The PBJ300 has a charge input of 2 Amps. If you're using a USB charger with an output of less than 2 Amps it will drastically affect the charge time for the portable jump starter. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance please send our Customer Service Team a message via our online chat service or give us a call at 800 363 4490 x1, and we will be happy to help.

Stranded with my 1 year old. I see a target. Couldn’t find anyone with cables to help. Literally bought this and cables and I didn’t even charge it. Walked right out to my car stuck it on and started instantly. I couldn’t even believe it. Cold New England evening also! Would DEFINITELY recommend. I’ve tried other brands and they wouldn’t touch the big batteries these cars have.

Target user quez - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve had mine on the charger for 2-3 days straight. It got up to 75% charged now it back down to 50%. Maybe mines faulty. But so far I wouldn’t trust it to jumpstart a car. The only reason why I have left it on the charger for so long, is because it’s never been fully charged. It’s always blinking which indicates it’s still charging.

Gina - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Important note: *Must use at least a 10V wall charger** Worked on my 5 cylinder Volkswagen Jetta. Charges electronics well too. Smart to keep it fully charged in a vehicle in case of breakdowns. Charges battery & if it’s not your battery, it’ll keep your phone charged until help arrives.

This worked on a 2006 Ford Escape. It comes in a nice, small storage container. It has an instruction manual with clear steps on how to use the device. The battery level indicator has 4 dots. You want 3 to 4 dots to jump your car. This came already charged to 3 dots.

Aby - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I charged twice for the Car jumper and tried to jump my car many times, then it finally worked! You really can’t rely on it if it’s an emergency on road. The worse part is when I removed the clamps, the battery core come out. I cannot put it back! Plus this is just first time to use! Finally,I called customer service as the instruction showed, but real agent answered and no further response.

Lifesaver!!

Would recommend
Barath - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is a real lifesaver!! My car battery died and it was parked far from my house. As this is the first time I’m ever facing this issue, I accidentally bought the wired jump start cables. When I was assuming I had no other option than to tow my car to the service center, this one came as a lifesaver. Very simple and easy to use, just like our mobile power bank. The instructions are clear and simple. The car started in no time! So glad that I purchased this! Only drawback, this product is not available in all Target locations and I had to go over 25 miles to another Target location to pick up this item. Overall, one of the best portable jump start power bank for the car. I would much rather spend 85 bucks than to pay for towing the car to the service center or any other location to jump start! I will highly recommend this product. Cheers!!!

Got us home from a Target parking lot

Sam - 3 years ago
This got us out of a Target parking lot, where our car (a Kia Soul, with a 4-cyclinder engine) wouldn’t turn over because of a dying battery. Before purchasing the battery, we couldn’t determine how much of a charge the car jumper would come with. Fortunately, we decided to take a chance, and it turned out that the power bank came with at least 50% power (Pre-charged). First try, the car turned over, and we were able to leave the Target parking lot and make it home.
Side note: For that first try, we went ahead and used the “boost” mode. Not sure if all the power banks come with the charge like ours did (the manual doesn’t indicate one way or another), but this worked for us. Giving this 4 stars because the product is a bit pricy for what it provides, but it was cheaper and more convenient than a tow. Hopefully this holds up over time, but we don't have any experiences around that yet.
