OK, I will check if Walmart around my place has this kind of jump starter or not. But do not you think 800 Peak Amp is a little low to jump start a car?

Betty, let me end your confusion. I was in the same boat about a month ago. I was set to buy a more expensive, small, lithium ion charger. However, after investigating what was available at my local Walmart, I ended up with this jump starter https://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumach...p-Starter-12V-USB-Power-Supply-Black/54459186.

It has performed flawlessly. However, I opted to spend an extra $5.00 on an extended warranty. I highly recommend this product. I'm very happy with it.

800 is plenty powerful. I've already used mine to start a truck.

That depends on how honest the rating really is. 800 amps would crank a diesel pickup with a severely depleted battery. I know for sure a single battery with a rating of around 900 amps will crank a 6.6L Duramax at the proper speed. I kinda doubt a 800 amp battery and an 800 amp peak load jumper box are the same thing.

Betty,

Check out the Anti-Gravity Micro Start models, this link also has a good video review. They are small, powerful, and can be used for charging many different things. Those large, heavy, portable battery jump starters are old news now. Antigravity Micro-Start XP-1 Power Supply - RevZilla

I believe most places will say how much amp peak rather than the reality.
