Great to see you again! Looks like you got a VERY good unit. The accessories would also sway me to make the same choice! THANK YOU very much for going to the trouble of demonstrating it’s use on a dead car or two! Maybe you could schedule doing a follow up in 6 months after using it on all the various and sundry uses you purchased it for? I admit I had to laugh at 8:00 when you told us you had already talked but forgotten to hit record. Appreciate you going through it again for us! I don’t really need one but if I did I would get the one you did because of your review! I bet you are going to modify and cut some plastic off those leads- haha!
Thanks Mac! So far, I do believe I made the right choice. A follow up is a good idea. Yeah, I was flapping away then went to transfer the clip and it wasn't there. You know me all too well...lol. I'm going to give it some time to make sure it stays working- then will probably do some whittling on it. Not for my use per-say, but if I need to jump someone with a side post only battery, the option would be there. Good to hear from you, G.
I have this one too. It arrived in the same charging state, like these guy's battery pack, 75%. Before using it, I charged it all the way to full, it took about 4 hours. It's almost a month since then. Still have the 4 bars, so 100% and I used it roughly 25 times, sometimes multiple times a day. It's unbelievable! Very light and so powerful. The manufacturer did a great job on this one!
Thanks! That is a good question and mystery to me as well. I do know length has something to do with it. The longer the length, the less amperage it can handle- rated at given gauge. But even at that, in this case- it would seem they couldn't handle what the unit can provide. I bet someone will chime in. Magic I guess...lol. Take care, G.
If you have a battery at 100a/h that's 100amp at 1 hour but if you loaded it with say a 1000amps at 12 volts, that battery could?? give you 1000amps for a few seconds I believe that's the principle but I'm no electrician
I've been using it as a flash light and today it started my highlander with a 3.5 no problem and still it's at 100% and even used the cigarette adapter to set up my dash cam where it was warm inside awesome product.....BUY ONE!!!!!!!!!!
Dexter, I took a peek at it and was dissatisfied with the accessories that come with it. It seems to be on par with my original desktop assessment of the model I'd looked at. A bag in lieu of a case, only a car charger for charging (no wall charger), no lighter type adapter, only one USB charging port (Not sure if it's fast charging or not). I'm not sure what the hot cold feature is so I can't comment on that. I can say, I'm still completely satisfied with my decision. It's done everything I've asked it to do, jump starting dead vehicles, charging two phones at the same time with fast charging- and numerous times to boot on one charge. I hope this helps so you can make a decision that works for your needs. Let me know what you go with, and how it works out for you. Good luck, G.
Thanks Carlos! If you're looking at the exact same make and model as I'm showing here- then no. It will not inflate tires. It only does what I showed in the review. Aside from that, it's been working great since day one and I used it a couple of weeks ago to jump a vehicle with no problems. Hope this helps, G.
I really think this is a better deal Dexter. Two fast charging ports, better accessories, and a better case. I've used this one plenty and it's worked great each time. Just my opinion though. Good luck, G.
This is the one I have. Take care, G. www.amazon.com/TACKLIFE-T8-MAX-Jump-Starter/dp/B07DH3QHYD/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=t8+tacklife+max&qid=1569133047&sr=8-1
Mine's not charging at all. It looks pristine, was still in the plastic but the manual was stuck together so could have gotten wet at some point. I get 5 flashes when pressing a button while plugged in but nothing when it's not plugged in. 5 flashes probably means FU but if someone has the manual and it explains it, I'd appreciate knowing before I toss the thing. tacklife had the pro manual online but not the max. The viking charger that's been in the trunk for years worked immediately.
Of coarse I don't know what the "hell" I'm doing. How on earth did I make it this far without your guidance? I really don't know how I still have ten fingers and ten toes. Can you explain that to me, in a neophyte kind of way? G.............................

Agreed! I'm completely satisfied with mine. It just works. Take care, G.
Good to see a video from you again. I've always wondered how they manage to get so much amperage through those tiny battery cables?
Thanks! That is a good question and mystery to me as well. I do know length has something to do with it. The longer the length, the less amperage it can handle- rated at given gauge. But even at that, in this case- it would seem they couldn't handle what the unit can provide. I bet someone will chime in. Magic I guess...lol. Take care, G.
Length, gauge (diameter) and material all affect conductivity.

Good to see you on YT again at least your hands? I was expecting something new from HF. Great review.
Good to hear from you! Yeah, back to my usual format. No HF this time...lol. Take care, G.
Thanks appreciate your video it was a great help
Thanks Zarif. Glad you found it useful. Good luck, G.

Good deal! It really is a great product as you know. I love mine. Take care, G.
Good review. Thanks.
Thanks Will! Take care, G.
Hey G, what engine is in the pickup? BTW, excellent review, you even did things I hadn't considered. For example NO BATTERY jump.
Thanks Hank! It's a 5.7 liter Vortec. Glad you liked it. Take care, G.
How has your tacklife jump starter held up? Thanks!
It still works like day one! No problems at all. Good luck, G.
Thx so much
No problem! Good luck, G.
Very helpful
Glad you liked it. Take care, G.
I was trying to decide between the noco xl gb50 and this one the gn 50 is a new it’s 1500a and hot cold feature

Yeah I guess u are right and thanks I appreciate your advice
No problem! G.
just bought one from Walmart for $45.99. Buy the $7 3yr walmart replacement insurance and your good to go.
Good deal! Good luck, G.
I see this being advertised as a tire inflator as well but I don't see how it does it. Can it really inflate tires? Nice review.
Thanks Carlos! If you're looking at the exact same make and model as I'm showing here- then no. It will not inflate tires. It only does what I showed in the review. Aside from that, it's been working great since day one and I used it a couple of weeks ago to jump a vehicle with no problems. Hope this helps, G.
It says that it has enough power to inflate 4 tires, but that just means that it can power a portable tire inflator.
I see. G.
My friend tell me one thing. Those 20000mah battery are real?
This has been working great for me since day one. That's all I can say. Good luck, G.
I was thinking of the noco how u rates it
I really think this is a better deal Dexter. Two fast charging ports, better accessories, and a better case. I've used this one plenty and it's worked great each time. Just my opinion though. Good luck, G.
Am looking online can’t find any ti buy
This is the one I have. Take care, G.

How do u charge t8. Max....it's not charging
I just use the usb charger and cable that came with mine. Maybe your adapter has failed? Good luck, G.
Mine didn't come with USB and no USB I tried will charge it
@@nicknachoakalowkey7033 Sorry, I can't say. G.

@@georgestatham2464 Take /send it back and get a new one. Mine has worked great since day one, and still does. G.
Positive first then negative. Obviously you don't know what in hell you're doing 17:13
