The Halo bolt has a 58-shot capacity. Watt hours (Wh) are units of measurement for the amount of energy used in a given period of time The efficiency of the 115V AC inverter would be around 80%. The power consumption of your device is 55 watts. As a result (58). 8 Wh * . 80 watts divided by 55 watts equals 0 watts. You could consider a much larger power station (aka solar generator) with a runtime of 86 hours or 51 minutes.br>br>You could consider a much larger power station (aka solar generator) with a runtime of 86 hours or 51 minutes. I have a Honda/Jackery 290 power station, for example. It has a capacity of 292 watt hours (Wh) and a pure sine wave AC inverter outlet of 200 watts. Although it weighs six pounds, it has five times the battery capacity of the Halo Bolt. Amazon lists it at 6 lbs and $300. It also does not comply with TSA regulations and does not jump start vehicles. Let's put the numbers together for the Honda/Jackery 290, which has a capacity of 292 Wh. Its pure sine wave AC inverter is approximately 85% efficient. In general (292 Wh *. 85 watts divided by 55 watts equals 4 watts. I hope this information is useful.
According to the current TSA guidelines (which can be found on the Halo website), batteries with a capacity of less than 100 watt hours are allowed in carry-on luggage. 101: Luggage and Batteries Airline approval is required for 160 watt hours. (It is not permitted to bring lithium batteries in checked luggage.) ) This unit is clearly labeled as 58830 mWH on both the front and back of the box. Simply divide milliwatt hours (mWH) by 1000 to get watt hours (for example: mWH/1000). 58.830 mWH/1000 = 58830 mWH/1000 = 58830 mWH/1000 = 588 This unit has a wattage of 830 watt hours, which is just under the 59 watt hour threshold that requires airline approval. It's possible that a TSA employee doesn't understand the rules (or how to convert mWH to watt hours), in which case you'll need to educate them politely. However, I'm guessing that they've been around long enough to have figured it out.
No way, no how. Simply put, the Halo Bolt's battery capacity is insufficient to charge a large 12V deep cycle battery. Let's look at how much power it has in comparison to a single 100 amp hour (Ah) deep cycle battery. The Halo Bolt can hold up to 58 people. 4 watt hours (Wh) = 8 watt hours (Wh). At 12V, 9 amp hours (Ah) The deep cycle battery with a capacity of 100 Ah has 20 cells. br>br>You could look into solar options, which have four times the capacity of the Halo Bolt. The YouTube channel "DIY Solar with Will Prowse" is an excellent source of information. On Amazon, you can get the "MaxOak Bluetti Power Station 2400 Wh/1000W Inverter" for $2,000 if you want an all-in-one solution. It's quite large, weighing in at 48 pounds. It can power a device that consumes 200 watts for 10 hours. 2 hours; Amazon also has a plethora of smaller options. Instead of a traditional generator, you could get an inverter generator.br>br> Generators with inverter technology are more efficient and quieter to operate. All of this is intended to be helpful.
Because lithium ion batteries do not like trickle charging, you should disconnect the charger soon(ish) after fully charging the device. Because these batteries lose charge at less than 1% per month, re My charger will be charged every six months. Because these batteries have no memory, they can be charged quickly. Because they only last 3 to 5 years on average, I'll fully discharge the device every 6 months after 3 years to test the battery capacity.

Instead of the standard mAh rating, the mWh rating was used. The product itself is stunning, well-designed, and the best I've ever seen, and we have several of these types of items. However, I can't overlook the dubious marketing strategy of using a mWh rating rather than the industry standard mAh rating. Most users will mistakenly believe that this product has a capacity of 58k when compared to other products when it actually has a capacity of 15k when measured in mAh. That, and while the photo of the AC outlet appears to indicate that it can handle up to 165 watts, the "1" is actually a /, and the maximum power is only 65 watts. This would be a great product to have if you want something that is visually appealing but not overly strong. br>br>I returned mine.
Almost immediately, this charger ceased to work. It briefly charges my phone before turning off. I've already passed the return deadline, so I'm stuck with this pricey paperweight. I have another one of these that works perfectly, so this one must be a dud.
There are significantly better boosters for the same price or less that convert to 11,000 mAh and 500A boost. Their deception duped me, and I'm not impressed.
If this had started my car, it would have been a great idea. But how many people who buy this have a car that they can use to jumpstart when it arrives? I did, and I tried three times, but nothing in my car lit up, and yes, I followed the directions (which are fairly simple). This had no effect on my vehicle! I tried a jump pack I had on hand, and the dash lights turned on right away, and the car started up in seconds. I'm not sure why this received such positive feedback. You were warned!.
