TOPDON JS3000 Emergency Power Supply for Trucks and Large Vehicles
With nearly limitless options, finding the right replacement for jumper cables for your vehicle can seem like a daunting task. If you have a larger gasoline or diesel vehicle, the TOPDON JS3000 Portable Emergency Starter might be worth it. The JumpSurge3000 certainly has specs—3000 peak cranking current and a 24,000mAh (88.8Wh) battery capacity. It can jump-start your car battery up to 45 times on a single charge. So yes, you can probably finally ditch those jumper cables.
What's the big deal about JumpSurge3000?
Most vehicle starters have enough capacity and power to start a small passenger car. TOPDON JS3000 portable emergency power supply can provide enough power for large trucks. It can easily start a 9-litre petrol or 7-litre diesel engine. This includes the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD with the 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 or the Ford F-350 Super Duty with the 6.7-liter output stroke V8 turbodiesel.
You can tell you're dealing with something a little different than this starter's size. It measures approximately 10.5 x 5 x 2.5 inches. That's larger than most starters we've tested to date.

If the jumper cables are not connected properly, it could damage the battery, the cables, or even cause more serious problems. The TOPDON JS3000 Portable Jump Starter makes this easy by including electronics that warn you of any confusion.
Using TOPDON JS3000 Portable Emergency Starter
The TOPDON JS3000 Portable Jump Starter works in normal mode, simply power on the unit and attach the color-coded clips to the battery. The clips have nice copper inserts and are very thin. This is important for batteries that don't have a lot of space around the terminals like my F-150 battery does.
If your battery voltage is low (you don't see the green light), you can press and hold the boost button. It's powered via a jumper cable, allowing you to quickly jumpstart almost any dead or dead battery. Additional protection exists to disable the jumper starter if reverse polarity is detected.

This unit does not have an LCD screen. I actually like it. Just like the tool battery, four green LEDs will tell you the charge status of the device. Plus, since it runs on a set of lithium-polymer batteries, you can keep using it until it's almost completely drained. According to TOPDON, it also handles cold weather well. They rate it at -4 and 140F° (-20 and 60°C).

other features
LED lighting options include a 400 lumen torch that also features strobe and SOS modes. The light is bright enough to change a tire or simply use it as needed. Taking the battery capacity of JS3000 as an example, a full charge can make the flashlight work for more than 30 hours!

We're pleased that many manufacturers are already offering zippered hard cases. The one for the TOPDON JS3000 jump starter houses the unit, alligator clips and all its accessories in the housing on either side of it. As an added bonus, I've had the box under the back seat of my truck for a few weeks now and it doesn't seem to be getting any worse with wear and tear.

TOPDON also did something unusual with the JumpSurge3000, integrating an extendable hook (presumably for when using LED lights) and a metal stand. The hook comes out easily, however, the bracket requires a screwdriver or similar to open it…unless you have rock climber fingertips.

Connectivity and power bank features
JS3000 can also be used as a portable 24000mAh power bank. It includes 2 USB QC 3.0 ports (3A and 2A), a 16.8V DC port, and a Type-C PD45W bi-directional charging port. The port supports 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A or 20V/2.25A, providing fast charging for devices that support PD protocol, such as laptops, mobile phones, etc.
