Adventure Kings 1000A Lithium Jump Starter

I bought it home charged it over night tried to start my motorbike the next morning and it wouldn't wind it over enough to start I had to go and get my old one from the car to start the bike. Follow up customer service is nasty asking for a video of… Read more

me trying to jump start my bike the first time i used their jump pack, as if people video using it just incase it is cr#p. Then you tell them I don't have a video and they dismiss you by saying it again. Basically i'm going to need a video.

Below par product – Bought this unit about 2 years ago, and have always kept it charged every 3 month. Went to use it for the first time on a bmw 730d, and nothing. Smoke started coming from the unit. Disappointing and a waste of $100 Show details

Kings 100 A jump starter pack. Heap of Rubbish . Save your money . The thing was not 2 year old only used I think twice . Battery will not charge up . No charge lights coming on . Heap of [Content Removed]

A great item to have on standby – I purchased a kings jump starter about 7 years ago primarily for a JetSki , but I’ve used it only on a diesel troopcarrier about 8 times so far ! I’m happy with it , I’ve left it in the vehicle for months on end and hasn’t lost any charge I would definitely recommend. Show details ·  1

Perfect for a 4 cyclinder – Kia Magentis, Battery Indicator says all is excellent, but does not hold any amp-hours. 10 months old battery. Stops turning over, 1000a Jump starter starts it in seconds while only using up to 2% of its power storage. Bloody little ripper at a great price... Show details ·  1

Works well – Works well jump starts my car even with no battery in it. I use it every day as a power bank and it does everything its supposed to. It barely uses any power when jumpstarting I used it 10 times in one charge and it worked perfect. Only issue is that it's power gauge does not work well under 40%. It goes from 40% to 1% in only a couple minutes. Show details ·  1

Can't rely on it - Very short shelf life – Unfortunately, I have to agree with Matthew S, Aaron, Andrew and others. I bought my A38 a few years ago, and I needed it within the first 6 months. It started my '93 Toyota Landcuiser 6cyl 4.2 Petrol GXL no problems. Bewdy. Or so I thought... Charged it, and put it away for next time. I needed it again last month - Jan '25 - to start the… Read more

same car. Topped up the charge - checked it. 100%. Ok... Hooked it up to the Cruiser, turned the key. CLICK. Nada. Nothing. Went back under the bonnet. Checked the LCD. 0%. What? Ok... charged it back up, checked. 100%. Tried to jump start again. CLICK. 0%. So I'm guessing the internal LiPo's are dead. From what I've been reading, there's no point in trying to claim for a replacement, as it would be well out of warranty by now.

Pretty disappointed - but at least I got one good start out of it... unlike plenty of others. I convinced my Partner to buy one too - I'd wager that that one's dead as a doornail now too.

I've bought a few things from Kings over the years. And I must say I'm not overly impressed - the 6mx3m outdoor 'Pergola' canopy ripped during a nasty storm. Replacement canopies do not exist. The frame is pretty sturdy, but useless without a canopy.

I probably won't be buying anything further from Kings - or recommending them to anyone in the future.

Sorry, but just not good enough.

Bad service won't buy anything else – I bought a kings 1000a jump starter in 2022, even though I have never used it and it was at 80% charge, I went to go and use it in Jan 2025 to start a flat battery on my 4wd, and it wouldn't start it. Useless, the one time I was in trouble and needed it and there I was stranded. When I got back to Adelaide I rang kings warranty service, they were… Read more

a bit abrupt and didn't really care. Once they realised it was out of warranty, he might of well said too bad so sad, that's your problem. As this is a known fault they should of offered me something, a least a credit. Really bad service, I won't buy anything else from kings now that's it.

Not fit for purpose – Totally useless. Purchased this in October 2024 and went to jump start my landrover which was sitting for around 2 months. Battery was still turning motor slowly just not enough to start. Went to use the jump starter and it made zero difference. Used old jumper leads and car fired straight up. The jump starter was 100% charged but failed to do its job and only around 4 months old. Don't waste your money.

i love this product. easy to use and quick to recharge back to 100% Show reply

Disappointing – I purchased my unit to be kept on my boat for safety of mind. Being kilometers offshore we need equipment that will do the job when we need it. Purchasing substandard equipment is not my norm and I thought King's would only sell quality. Ensuring my equipment is well maintained is a must and this ethic has fortunately meant I had no real use for… Read more

this jump starter that is clearly unfit for purpose. The sales person was informed of the intended use on the boat where faulty equipment can be the difference between life and death but there was nothing but high recommendation of the product from them. There was NO instruction manual or warranty information with the unit and I was told at the time of purchase that they no longer include an instruction manual as they are now online. To my surprise I have read other reviews which refer to their instruction manual!! Too many people complaining about the same thing proves there is a serious issue with quality and performance.

I didn't have cause to use it AT ALL but heard a beeping sound today and decided it must need to be charged. Why was it beeping if it is supposed to automatically turn off after a short time of non use??? I hooked up the 240v charger and NOTHING after eight hours but I established the wall charger worked to charge my phone!! I looked online to find it should only take seven hours to fully charge!! I am not the only one who was duped and hopefully there are no reports of people being stranded remotely on the water or out in the bush due to this inadequate piece of equipment that is sold predominantly to adventurers. I am guessing on the strength of the foregoing the unit I bought was some one else's return and that the sales people simply don't care about this equipment being so crucial. I would not be surprised if the new warning will include "Please do not rely on this equipment to save your life".

I was asked if I wanted an mediation with the company prior to posting my review which I accepted giving them the chance to resolve the issue privately. The company has NOT made any contact with me which only adds to the frustration of the exercise. What this does prove is that King's don't have a functioning customer service department that is willing to receive constructive criticism to forward onto their designers to improve their products. Selling goods that are substandard and unfit for purpose surely is an embarrassment to them given the image they wish to project to adventurers.

jumpstarter kings 1000a – Ive had this for abour 2 months, It did its job twice jumping my car and then the jump starter just died, it says it charges but goes black after unplugging. Edit: no one even helped return the broken product. Piece of rubbish. Wont shop here again. Last edit: Still havent got any help from kings, what a Terrible Company. Show details

Careful! It outputs 16 volts to the 12 volt socket – Purchased this product from Adventure Kings (Adelaide) mid last year. The product manual and the case show an outlet marked 12V/8A so I hooked up a 12 volt LED strip light to it last week. The lamp was brighter than usual and then it started to overheat. A voltmeter test revealed that the output from the Kings Jump Starter 12 volt socket is… Read more

actually 16 volts. The product needs to be modified to deliver 12 volts to that outlet or the outlet needs to be correctly labelled 16 volts so that purchasers realise that they should not connect their 12 volt equipment to it without risking damage or fire. The User Manual also specifies The USB 2 outlet as 9v/2A. That also appears to be an error. It tests at 5V on the unit I purchased (as a USB should). Adventure Kings could definitely improve their quality assurance. Having a qualified electrical engineer pass the QA ruler over items before release would be a good idea. I can't comment on how well the unit jump starts yet but I can say it has been holding charge well.

Terrible Kings Product – Kings 1000A Jump Starter, Used twice, Wont recharge. Very Disappointed. Out of the 12 Months warranty period. Just when I needed It, Show details

A very bad experience with the Kings Portable Battery starter – Purchased this item circa 2 years ago needed to use it for the first time last weekend to try and start my BT50. I was assured at time of purchase that it would easily kickstart my vehicle if I ever got a flat battery whilst camping. What an absolute waste of time and money buying this item was, all it did was power up the lights for a couple of… Read more

minutes. It certainly didn’t and will not kick start any larger style of battery. I took it back today to the local store to be told the battery needed some power still for it to work, perhaps Kings should make sure that their staff who are selling are aware of the item’s limitations! I’m sure my battery had some power as I said it did reboot the lights. My advice to everyone is don’t ever rely on one of these if you are bush or beach camping fortunately I got my flat battery at home and not whilst camping! No way to test it before I needed it and it certainly doesn’t do the job it is stated to do!

low life on battery – lasted nearly 3 years, used a few times charging the phone and camping light. recharged it twice a year then it stopped holding a charge. VERY disappointing given the price. wont be buying kings again. Show details

KINGS 1000 LITHIUM JUMP STARTER { didnt work } – Could not start my 3.2 ltr BT50. I had to call RACV to jump start me. Lucky i was in a town and not bush camping. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

rubbish – This "JUMP STARTER" was used a couple of times to charge phones whilst camping and it did a good job. Recently during an power outage, it was again used to charge the phone. Now the unit will not recharge nor will the LED's work. My multi meter shows 14.4v but this thing now does nothing. It is out of warranty but I would expect more life from… Read more

this type of product. Their customer service is crap, deny everything and tell the same nonsense about draining/charging the battery. I wonder if they do that in their warehouse.
