HULKMAN Alpha65 Smart Jump Starter 1200 Amp 12000mAh Car

I got the Alpha85 for my Tacoma a few years ago and I was so impressed with it that I got the Alpha65 for both of my kids and now this one for my wife. I’ve only used it for real once to start my Tacoma when the battery was a little low on water and it had sat for a while and didn’t have enough power to turn over the motor. The Hulkman cranked it up like nothing. I like how compact and relatively light weight these things are. They hold a charge for a long time and they work when you need them to. Makes me feel good to know my wife and kids have that little bit of help out there if they ever need it.

This jump starter just saved me from a potentially bad situation.

I grabbed this out of the shipping box and put it in my car, as is, without charging. My car’s battery has been acting up, so I thought I may need it. And I did, at night, in a questionable part of town. A lot of thoughts went through my mind from the point of my car not starting to grabbing this jump starter, connecting it, and the moment of truth. I thought about the store closing in 30 minutes, the part of town I was in, it being night, and the last time I had to call a tow truck it took hours before they arrived. All that was put to rest in seconds. This worked flawlessly. I thought it would, based on the reviews I’ve read, and my other Hulkman product, but nothing is certain until it is. Three cheers for Hulkman!

Se ve que no es el tpico arrancador low cost, los materiales de construccin exteriores son de muy buena calidad, las lenguentas de las tapas de las conexiones son gruesas y de goma de buena calidad, las pinzas son de un tamao considerable, al cogerlo en la mano se nota pesado, comparado con uno low cost, que presumiblemente tiene la misma capacidad de carga, el HUKKMAN, pesa el doble. La presentacin del producto est muy trabajada, viene en una caja precintada en plstico transparente, para asegurarse que no est manipulado o devuelto por otra persona.
Lo negativo es que el maletn de trasporte hay que comprarlo a parte y no es barato.
Desde m punto de vista, si se consigue de oferta un HULKMAN o un NOCO, te aseguras que la capacidad de la batera es real, no vale la pena invertir en arrancadores low cost.

I liked the product. Well made, good design, and easy to use. Three starts later and the Hulkman was still at 97% charge.

With a completely flat car battery you will need to press both buttons on the Hulkman to get the green ready light. This is in the instructions but easy to forget.

I purchase 2 different brands to see which was better. The quality of material of the Hulkman was far better than the other brand I purchased. Also, Hulkman was easier to use and even may hold enough charge for up to 1 year while stored. I will test this over the next year for planning to store in my SUV. The instructions do state to store in a cool dry place but it also states it can be used in Temp up to 113 degree. After registering the warranty on Hulkman’s website to receive an extra 12 month, I notice you will need a serial number for future claims. Their website claims the serial number is on the back of the box but this is not true. Another reviewer said it is on the plastic shrink wrap cover of the box which 90% of buyer will throw out like I did. Hence without this serial number you have no warranty right. This serial number should be printed on the back of the charger or box but is not so why give a 24 or 36 month warranty but not honor it without this number.

UP Date: My charger came with no serial number on the box or charger and cables. I called and email customer and got right them after a very short wait. Both stated that some chargers are shipped with no serial number so all that is needed is sales receipt. The Hulkman warranty page does read one needs a serial number to proceed with warranty claim, but customer service said that this was not correct. I received a 24 month warranty but was upgraded to 36 months by entering my purchase information online.
