Hey what's up I'm Steve with Cult of Mac and if you're anything like me you'll be carrying
0:05
around a ton of gadgets but keeping them all charged at the same time is a bit of a juggling
0:09
act and more often than not I'll leave one to the side and forget about charging it
0:14
I always meant to invest in a power pack or a power bank or whatever you'd like to call it
0:20
The guys from Cobra sent over a jump pack that has a little extra trick up it's sleeve
0:24
There's a few different offerings from Cobra but the one we're looking at is the Jump Pack CPP8000
0:31
It's a catchy name I know but it features a 6000mAh battery which comes with a 2.4A USB
0:38
port meaning it will quickly get that power to your phone or tablet or whatever device
0:42
you're plugging in. Charging my iPhone 6 Plus from 0-50% took around 40 minutes which I was pretty impressed with
0:51
It's going to charge an iPhone 6S around 3 times before running out of juice and features
0:56
an overcharge protector which will cut off the charge when full meaning it will protect
1:00
your battery in the long run. The jump pack is pretty much the same width as my iPhone 6 Plus, slightly shorter and
1:06
about double the thickness but it will fit into your pocket, bag or glove box no problem
1:12
and it weighs about the same as two iPhone 6s. On the front you've got this central button which allows you to see the remaining charge
1:19
of the jump pack via the LED indicators on the front and it also doubles up as the switch
1:23
for the LED light on top. To the right of the LED you've got a micro USB input so you can charge the jump pack
1:30
via your computer and the 5V 2.4A USB port that I mentioned earlier
1:35
To the left is the 14V input to charge the jump pack via the car charger provided which
1:41
is nice to be able to charge this thing whilst driving about
1:44
Next to that is the extra feature I was hinting at earlier. On top of being able to charge all of your devices, this can actually jump start your
1:52
car, motorbike or even boat. Yes I said boat. Along with a lot of other vehicles multiple times with juice to spare
2:00
Just check your vehicle's specs before buying. If it needs more than 200A with a 400A to start, this won't work for you
2:07
For most vehicles though, the jump pack will be fine. To jump start a car, you first need to connect the included cables to your car's battery
2:14
Then plug them into the jump pack, turn the jump pack on and then turn the key in your car
2:19
The battery in my car was fine but I did take it to a local garage to try it out as I wanted
2:23
to see it in action and it seemed to work a dream. It's really nice to have an external battery pack that also has an extra feature which
2:30
I'll now carry with me everywhere so no matter where I am, if my car battery decides to die
2:35
on me for whatever reason, I don't have to rely on a passerby or breakdown service
2:39
For just short of $120, although it's currently on sale on Amazon for $90, it's a little bit
2:45
pricier than most power banks but most power banks can't jump start your boat
2:50
It's a decent size, sturdy build quality and it's got plenty of power
2:54
I've got no real complaints about the Jump Pack CPP8000. Except maybe the name
