About this deal

Inflate a Flat with Ease: A built-in, powerful air compressor with interchangeable nozzles allows you to easily and conveniently inflate tires, balls, and more First of all, make sure that the battery is fully charged. If it is not, then charge it for at least 20 minutes before using. The jump-starting feature is also a big part of this power bank, and the power output for it is 500 AMPs. That’s a good amount, but it’s not amazing. 500 AMPs is the minimum amount that a portable jump starter should offer because even though the HALO Bolt 58830 advertises that it can jump starts cars, ATVs, and boats, it can’t jump-start a completely dead battery. 500 AMPs of power is not enough.

The AC outlet is one of the highlights of the Bolt 58830, as you’re able to power an appliance or, more importantly, a laptop charger. We say, “More importantly” because the three-prong AC outlet is meant for laptop chargers. 65W may be useful for powering a lamp, but really, we found it to be used as a power source for a laptop charger. This Halo Bolt has three 5,300mAh batteries, so we can deduce that this power bank has a 15,900mAh power capacity. This is nowhere near the claimed power capacity or the capacity they want you to think this charger has. Solutions: Turn off your headlights and any other components that may drain your car battery and try the jump start process again or consult with a certified mechanic. The Halo Bolt has 58,830mWh of battery power within, and the official description suggests that it can provide up to several hours of additional usage for a MacBook Pro or iPad Air. In my testing, the results didn’t quite match those targets.

Using the Halo Bolt 58830 is simple. Each of the ways to use it has a power button to turn that specific part on. The Halo Bolt is only recharged from the DC input port. There are two ways to recharge it from the DC port, and that would be either using the AC adapter or car charger adapter that it comes with. Both are useful in their own ways, with the AC adapter being useful for faster recharging and used in your house. The two most useful parts are the AC outlet and the jump starter, but at the same time, the AC outlet has a 65W output only, but it can be beneficial for powering laptop chargers. The jump starter can be useful for starting your car in case of an emergency. It also helps that it’s a three-prong AC outlet rather than just two. Summary: Try different charging outlets. If one outlet works but other outlets don’t, try using a different outlet or inserting the battery into another device to see if that helps charge it up.

In terms of how many times you’re able to jump-start a vehicle, it depends on what you’re trying to jump-start. If you’re starting from a full power capacity, the Halo Bolt 58830 power bank can jump-start sedan cars about 200 times, but when it comes to jump-starting SUVs, you can expect about 90 jump starts. Output Charging: So you should not be fooled that this is a 58,830mAh power bank, that’s far from the truth, and it seems that the brand placed that into the name to make it sell more. As the 58,830mWh refers to jump-starting capabilities that this power bank has. When it comes to showing how much power capacity a portable charger has, brands will almost always use Mili Amp Hours or mAh. At the same time, this one is labeled as 58830mWh.When it comes to charging with the USB-A ports, you’re mainly going to be charging smartphones with it, and if that’s the case, you’re only able to charge most phones to full power about three to four times. Smartphones now use fairly large batteries, such as Samsung Galaxy S20 using a 4,000mAh battery, while the S20+ has a 4,500mAh battery and the S20 Ultra has an even larger 5,000mAh battery. Structure-wise, the Halo Bolt 58830 is a power bank that is built well. The charger can heat up internally if you crank your car too many times while trying to jump-start it, so it’s best to take a break after about three cranks.

You can use the USB ports, the AC outlet, and the flashlight at the same time with this power bank. However, you can only use the Bolt alone’s jump starter, with nothing else being on. On the bright side, the Halo Bolt does come with everything. It comes with an AC adapter and a car adapter for recharging. It also comes with a Micro-USB cable and a carrying bag for the power bank.The Flashlight also has a button, but it does not turn any color when pressed and only turns on the flashlight. The flashlight only has a single constant run setting and does not have a strobe or SOS setting. It is quite bright and can be useful in an emergency if you don’t want to use your phone’s flashlight. The Bolt 58830 power bank’s build quality is pretty good, as the structure of the power bank is put together well. The entire power bank is made of plastic, so it doesn’t exactly feel premium, but it does hold up well whenever you need to use it. Cranking a car with a power bank, such as the Halo bolt, can cause it to overheat. Reliability The unit comes with a car adapter and an AC adapter for recharging. It also comes with a Micro-USB cable and jumper cables. Powering an appliance or a laptop charger with the AC outlet can only be done for an hour. Since it has a 65W power output, if you’re powering a laptop charger that’s within that power range, then you’re able to power it for an hour.
