Powerall Power Bank PBJS12000R – jump starting NSX 03

The moment of truth.


As mentioned in the caption, the device was on purposely drained after being charged to prevent any damages to the internal battery.
At the time of this testing, the blue indicator was showing 4 lights and measured at 11.9V at the jump start port.

After connecting the Powerall and going into P2 (IG On), immediately I noticed much higher voltage on the dash gauge and also the sound of fuel pump being primed was much stronger.

The engine just started so easily.

Stopped the engine, disconnected the Powerall to show that the battery was still not strong enough to start the engine.
Re-connected the Powerall and another engine start to show that it can handle multiple fireup.
The spec states that it can handle 20 fireups from fully charged state.


Considering the 'not so high quality' jump cable included, comfortable to use this device for starting the 3.0L, 3.2L NSX petrol engines but not sure about the huge petrol ones or the big diesel ones.

Time will tell.
