First i really Don t believe the 20,000 mah, it drops from 100% down to 62% charging my phone once. Its pakaged great, decent carrying bag, and quality usb charge wires, and the jump cable/clamp is of better quality then most, bright emergency light. But thats all the advantages it really has. Whats inside is going to bed the same crap in all the cheap jump packs with some flashy outsides to upsale it
I spent 65 bucks on a different jumper and it only looses 12% on a phone charge.

I’ve used this jump starter twice recently and am impressed with its ease of use, function and apparent build quality. Once I used it to supply power so I could open the trunk on a car where the trunk-mounted battery was disconnected. The other time: jumping a car with a drained battery. If your battery is too drained to be started in the normal ‘Quick Start-Up’ mode, you’ll have to initiate ‘Manual Override Mode Activation.’ To enter this mode, hold both the light and power buttons at the same time for three seconds. Manual overrride mode bypasses all safety measures so the pack sends out power regardless. This is explained on Fanttik’s website and the Amazon listing, but unfortunately NOT in the manual or back of battery pack. Thanks to me leaving my ignition in ‘accessory’ position for several days, my battery was dead enough that ‘Quick-Start-Up’ wouldn’t work. However, the car (2015 Dodge Charger with 5.7 V8) started immediately when I entered manual override mode. Jumping the car used 15% of the battery capacity.
The charger has a sturdy, quality feel. Battery clamps and charging cables feel like equally good quality. The display is large, bright and easy to read. Charging cables have handy cable ties with snap closures for stowing when not in use. Since this version didn’t come with the 65W USB wall charger, for the initial overnight charge I plugged into a USB-A port built into one of my electrical outlets. It charged slower but worked; I imagine any USB power source will work. Other than the manual not explaining ‘Manual Override Mode Activation,’ the only let-down so far is the included storage bag. Its thin fabric won’t offer much protection from being banged around in a trunk. However, it has two compartments which offer at least some protection. I put the charger in one pocket (facing outside so the screen doesn’t rub the cable clamps through the material) and everything else in the other. I’ll probably buy a better case at some point. As at least one other reviewer noted, it’s like unboxing an Apple product with the high quality packaging that feels almost too good to throw away.
NOTE: there are two versions of this jump starter: this standard version and the Deluxe version which add a 65W PD charger, car charger and hard case. If you buy this cheaper standard version, do not expect the extras. As of this writing the Deluxe version is not sold on Amazon, but is on the FANTTIK website. As near as I can tell, the accessories are not currently available separately. I added some photos showing the specs on the back of the jump starter, and information from the Fanttik website on ‘Manual Override Mode Activation.

Hello,
So I just received my Fanttik and gave it try on a 2 month old battery that has been sitting in my truck and no such luck. I charged it up to a 100% hooked it up, and held the power button down for 2 seconds. The display showed start 18 volt and then 100%. I then gave it try and nothing.. Battery terminals, wiring was tight and in great condition but did not work. I now have it on the charger to see if I can get it to hold a charge. I will update when I get a chance.
Okay so the battery could only charge to 2 volts. But could not hold a charge because it had dead cells. So I ended up having to buy a new battery and it started right up. So if the battery has dead cells and does not hold a charge than this will not work for you.
Hoping to try it out on another vehicle someday. Will update again when I am able to use it as it was intended for.

I charged it once I got it… a few weeks later I needed it, and it worked like a charm!!! I don’t use my car often, and sometimes forget to run it to keep the battery charged. Today my car wouldn’t start, and this device jumped it on the first try!
AMAZING PRODUCT! and it didn’t break the bank either!
I saw a lot of people complain that it won’t work if your car’s battery is totally dead, but that’s not true! you can override the safety features by holding in the power and flashlight buttons at the same time. be careful obviously, but this will allow it to jumpstart a car that has a 100% dead battery.
the flashlight is really bright. I haven’t tested the ability to charge phones on it though

My 2017 300C had been having battery issues after sitting for some time and wouldn’t hold a charge. I have a battery tender/trickle charger which has done fine while I troubleshot, but that doesn’t work if you need something quickly.
This thing is fantastic. I had never heard of this brand but saw it recently on a YouTube channel as a sponsor to a channel I really enjoy and trust, so I figured I would give it a try
The unboxing alone feels very premium – everything fits perfectly and the materials used are of good quality. Once you get to the unit and cables, you can easily feel that the materials all look and feel premium as well. If you told me this cost 2x what it does, I would believe it. Quite frankly, if it was a more well-known0 brand, I’m sure it would cost that.
So, I charged it up for the first time and put it to the test last night. Started my car with zero hesitation. The start only took a few percentage points off the full charge, and I was able to hook it up to the USB charger in my car to continue charging while I drove to purchase a replacement battery.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the device and would definitely recommend it to anyone on the fence!

The unit I purchased is not the deluxe package. Apparently the deluxe package is only available on the Fanttik website. If you do not get the deluxe package, you will have to use a standard USB wall charger adapter, like from your iPhone. Fanttik says this may take up to 5 hours using that type of adapter. I’ve had this charging overnight and it seems stuck at 60%. However, they say in their literature that with a 65W PD charger, the time to charge is 1.5 hours. YOU DO NOT GET A 65W PD CHARGER WITH THIS KIT. One of these will run you about $18 – $25. I their deluxe kit, this is included along with a cigarette charger.
I am returning this unit and will be purchasing the deluxe directly from the Fanttik website.
