Booster Pac ES5000 Portable Car Battery Jump Starter

I'm a roadside technician for about 15 years. I have tried lots of different jumpstart packs. This one is my favorite. I have started over 20 vehicles in one day, on a single charge. I never charge it in my vehicle. It was recommended by other roadside guys not to charge it in my vehicle so i just take their word as good. 2 guys said the alternator went bad soon after they started doing it.

I just used mine that I bought over 1 year ago. It was full after 1 year and my Tdi fired up immediately. I watched your video to understand how to hook it up ! Thanks

You could literally not ask for a better instructional video! 👌

Pretty good video. Now I know what y are talking about when you hook it up to the battery and post. But I think it would have been an awesome video if you showed how you hooked up the cables. I need it for my ex wife to know exactly how to hook it up.

Excellent review. I borrowed this unit from my mechanic neighbor to boost my 07 Suburban 2500 after it was sitting for months in Alberta cold and it started right up. I'm been doing a bit of research of a battery jump starter and I think I'm convinced to buy this one. Cheers!

Thank you Garrard, really appreciated this content.

Thanks for this video you really gave easy to understand info on how to use these I just bought one so I really appreciate it👌🏼

Thanks for this video Gizz! This is by far the best review on the Booster Pac ES5000 on the internet! I've been looking into something like this to have around the house. Our winters are pretty brutal for car batteries and this would be a godsend especially if you have a collection of vehicles OR for me personally, if you have a large extended family or group of friends that always call on you when they have car problems!

Been using this jump box for years and years, best pice of equipment for any mechanic and like you said, only time you replace them is went you loos them 😄.

Thank you for the info I have a Ford f150 and bought a Schumacher 800 peak and noticed it was rated for a v6 took it back I was about to buy the Es 5000 booster pack from Napa but noticed it only had 400 cca and my research tells me 500cca so I was on the fence tell I noticed your video as. Well as others on the es5000 all great reviews I'm sold

Great review! Thanks for sharing!

Nice tool and a good overview/demo. I like that you can replace the main battery, which makes it a life long tool. Beats carry around a spare car battery for jumping (been there, done that)!

This is the king of ALL the boost packs. NoCo are not as reliable or as heavy duty and you have to press a boost button with them. I've had a ES5000 for 9 years jumped many cars, boats, lawnmowers with it. I charge it 1 time a year and leave it in my car. It will still jump cars even at 1/2 power on the lights. I like EZ, NoCo people say they have to change them every 4 weeks. LOL im never going to do that. 1x a year I can handle. I just bought a new ES5000 for my kids car. $140.00. If you have the room in the car get one. I would maybe try a NoCo 150 ($300.00) if forced to change but not a NoCo 70 (too puny)

One addition I don't see mentioned in the comments. Instruction manual indicates whatever the charge level it has out of the box, it is recommended that, before first use charge for 30 hours.

Why you didn't show us that the truck wouldn't start. Then start it with this unit. That would be more helpful

Great review… but I wish I could see where you plugged the black clamp .. sorry.. I’m a lady and don’t know much about cars, but I got one of these as I keep having issues with my car battery do to not being used often.

I plugged my charger up and all 5 lights stay on , what do u think my problem is?

Can't find the wall charger .

Do the battery have to be fully charged in order to work. I tried to start my Porsche and it didn't turn over and the battery pack was at the half full level after I charged it for a day just unplugged it from the charger so I don't know why it was half full. Would that indicate something is wrong with my battery pack

How do you replace the battery? I bought one just like this from a yard sale but the battery is done. Lady said that it has been sitting in her garage for years.
