My car doesn’t get used all that often which means I have had a few occasions when I go to use it only to find the battery has died. So, having a reliable jump starter in the car became a must. The Gooloo GT6000 is a high-capacity portable jump starter that’s designed to cover a wide range of vehicles and double up as a handy power bank for everyday tech.
The GT6000 delivers 6000 A of peak current, which is enough to start most 12 V petrol and larger diesel engines, from family saloons to bigger SUVs, vans, or even light commercial vehicles. Gooloo claims on a full charge you can get 70+ jump starts, which sounds impressive but in reality, one or two is all you need in a crisis.
The unit also functions as a 27,000 mAh power bank with versatile outputs. There’s a 100 W USB-C port with Power Delivery, which can fast-charge laptops and modern devices, alongside USB-A ports for phones, tablets and accessories. A 15 V/10 A DC output adds flexibility for powering things like inflators or inverters.
Gooloo hasn’t overlooked safety, the jump starter includes a 10-layer protection system with safeguards against reverse polarity, over-current, short-circuits and overheating, making it easier to use without worrying about damage to the car or yourself.
Practical touches include a 3.2-inch SmartView display showing battery level, output and temperature readings, which helps you monitor the status of the battery at a glance. A built-in 400 lumen LED light with steady, SOS and strobe modes is handy for roadside emergencies or working under the bonnet in the dark.
The unit’s IP65 rating means it’s dust and splash resistant, important if you’re storing it in a car boot or using it outdoors. Recharging is relatively quick too, with fast charging bringing the internal battery back up in about 1.4 hours.
Overall, the GT6000 is a capable and multi-purpose device. It’s especially suited to owners who want more than just a jump starter, the combination of strong jump power, device charging and emergency lighting makes it a useful part of a car emergency kit. RRP £179.99
