Our take on the Schumacher SL1596 2500 Peak Amp Rugged Lithium Car Battery Starter

The Schumacher SL1596 is a 12V lithium jump starter rated at 2500 peak amps, built to crank large gasoline and diesel engines. It adds smart clamps, a pre-boost function for deeply discharged batteries, a jump start override and pre-heat mode for cold starts, plus a 2.4A USB port for charging phones and gear. It suits drivers of trucks, SUVs, RVs and boats who want one pack that can also top up devices. Against smaller pocket-sized starters it trades portability for much higher output and extra safety electronics; owners rate it well overall.
