    AUDEW Jump Start

    I have a couple of these that have been pretty reliable but are getting old. Do they still make Audew?

    What is the choice of BBC'ers for auto and trucks?

    I bought an Audew earlier this season. Charged it up put it in the boat. Went to check the status before a tournament and it was dead. It will not take a charge or power up. I'm currently back and forth with audew trying to get it replaced.

    Same for me. I figured the dampness did it in.

    I have had one for two years. So far it is holding up well although it has not had much use.

    I have one for the car/truck/boat. I used it on the truck once.
    My battery went dead while in the garage. I put it on a charger overnight.
    The battery would not take a charge. I hooked the Audew up(clamps are not user friendly
    in limited space). The truck fired up as as normal. Works for me. LDS

    I've got two Audews that are 2 yrs old. No issues with holding a charge. Only used one of them a few times on the lawn tractor.

    Have mine for 2 years, it has worked on everything so far. Recommend recharge after every use.

    The first one I bought was an Audew 1500W. I think it successfully started my truck one time before crapping out. It charges and holds it fine, the LED display is too dim to read in daylight and it doesn't supply any power.

    I have an AVAPOW A68 in another truck that works fine. Most recently I bought a LOKITHOR J401X that works great, and has an excellent display.

    Used one a couple times to jump a 225 Merc. Until my son upgraded his batteries for his extra screens.
    Also jumped a Ram 1500 that had an old battery.

    I would recommend from my experience.

    I have the Audew. It works good for me, plus I use it to charge my phone when I’m sitting in tree stand. I’m boatless bank trash fisherman, so I can’t say how it works for boats.

    I have one that I bought on sale about a year ago. I used it once and it worked fine except that the cable are difficult to plug in because of their short length and some batteries aren't easy to get to. I guess I better go out and check it to see if it is still charged.
    GETFISHED !!!

    I bought my first one several years ago and now own 4. Both boats and 2 vehicles and never had a problem. I charge them twice a year and they hold a good charge. Jumped off a fellow fisherman's boat this summer. I gave my kids and grandkids one for Christmas last year.
