Hey there,
In this video I take a look at the Halo Bolt. This particular unit has 44400 mWh. There are other sizes available. The halo bolt provides wireless charging, an AC outlet, a bright LED light, one push button jump start, 2 USB power ports, and a LED power indicator. I put this item through the ringer and even attempt to jump start a dead battery. Let's see if it really works. Check out my full review right here.
The Halo Bolt was purchased for just under $100 from QVC.

It says currently unavailable 😒...Any other spot it can be purchased for the same price you brought it, which by the way you didn’t mention how much you paid.
I just ordered one, my battery died a couple days ago, because one of my cats got in the minivan and stepped on the headlight switch, turning it on. Car wouldn't even click it was so dead. My old style garage charger wasn't working (ARRGGHHHHH) so I called out local on my facebook for help and the neighbor lady came with one of these in hand. Car started right up almost instantly- now THAT'S what I'm talkin about!! HALLELUJAH. I live in the country...I am half an hour away from most everything and a single mom- I can't be stranded for very long in case of an emergency. I ran my errand then came home and started shopping for one of these right away. I wasn't going to wait another moment.
A couple months back I had an unexpected litter of puppies. It was a very high risk birth and I took mom to a friends house 3 hours away who had extensive experience with birthing puppies even in high risk situations. Mom successfully had babies and survived and we stayed there for two weeks to ensure that if the puppies had any problems my friend was there to advise me and help. When it was time for us to go home...puppies needed to be transported in a box without mom in it for safety- 3 hours. That meant that they needed a heat pad to be kept warm. I ended up buying a box that connected to the cigarette outlet with regular plugs for that heat pad to plug into and run...but this would have worked just as well. You just never know when you'd need a regular plug for something in the car. If it works as nifty as here once I get it, I may end up getting another for my son to have for his stuff, and one for my daughter for her car. There is TONS to be said for easy and lack of fussing with stuff, especially when you're stressed.
Best thing ever !!!!! Save me from dead battery. I’m going on the third on this product. I feel very secure when I go on road trips,
I bought 3 of these a couple years ago, and I just ordered a 4th. These things are so versatile! We've used them to jump cars and our lawn tractor battery. You won't be able to power a laptop over 65W, so it doesn't work with 90W laptop power supplies. I mostly use them to charge my cellphone or power my cellphone during live streams where I don't have a regular power outlet by my phone. I also use them to charge my phone and bluetooth speaker outdoors at my picnic table.
Yeah, they really are versatile. Thanks for sharing your experience with this product!
It has a 120v standard wall port, why would this not charge any laptop? I need to know because I have a powerful gaming laptop that I need this to charge while it's not in use and turned off...
How could it jump a tractor yet not power a laptop lol?
@@DrewSkinner the AC outlet and jump start functions are two separate and distinct features. The AC outlet has a max watt limitation. So, yes, it can jump start a lawn tractor, but won't power over a 65 watt laptop due to the AC outlet limits. Honestly, I think it is a design flaw. It might seem funny that it would work for one and not the other, but my experience with these units and seeing it not work firsthand with my laptop is all I can say on it. It attempts to charge the laptop but then kicks itself off after a few seconds.
my galaxy S21 ultra cell phone charges in like 67 to 69 minutes from 0 when i plug it into the wall socket at home. will this charge my cell phone just as fast with that built-in socket?
When the car started I knew this was worth having and that it would solve all my problems. You see Jeff I have been battling QVC withdrawals from a lack of seeing personally inspiring products on there. Since my divorce in 2006 nothing has been able to make me smile again. Until now. Happy days are here again! I just ordered one and they let me talk on TV about my purchase! I sang your praises but when I mentioned the surge protector they started back peddling and knocked my call from the live broadcast. Either way I’m good till spring. Love this little power pack and your delivery.
P.S. Grandma said this halo will make a nice addition the one I already have 😇
Hahaha. That's funny. I too was impressed that it actually started the car. That was the true test for me. All of the other features were just bonus. I hope this halo will give you something to smile about yet again.
I own 3 of these units. Saw a utility truck that needed a boost. Several people tried and could not get it started. I came along with my little unit and everyone laughed. I got it started on the first attempt and the unit only had 2 bars.
These things are VERY handy for starting cars. I had to use one a little while ago and it churned over like crazy and car started instantly! FANTASTIC.
I have a few of them...they are very convenient.
I used mine to inflate air mattress w/ built in pump during our camping trip. Also lite up the Christmas lights outside the tent
There are a lot of great uses for the BOLT I am very impressed with it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Deems. How long have you had your Halo Bolt? Does it still work ok? I am trying to decide if this is worth buying or not. I love the fact that this is so compact. thanks--
Got this for Christmas and used it to charge my phone. It had a 75% charge when I started charging my phone wirelessly and after 8 hours and a fully charged phone, it was down to 25%. So far so good.
I like the Halo Bolt - although some of their claims are over exaggerated. It still has a lot of useful features. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
It used 50% of the charge to charge a phone once and keep it running for 8 hours? (Serious question)
Im pretty sure my Aukey 20,000mAh powerbank can do that
Just got mine today as a present. it is amazing.
It is a pretty cool little power bank. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Thank goodness you did a review on this , I have been planning to purchase this from QVC.❤🥰
It's a handy little item. I leave it in my glovebox just in case. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
THESE THINGS ARE GREAT. ..700 cranking amps @ 12 volts and they hold a charge for almost two years (and still counting) ..it will fit in the pocket of some cargo pants too. I used it to start a pair of diesel engines one right after the other and it was it sitting on a shelf for months..You need one for your boat
I am really impressed with the bolt...it has definitely helped me out a lot!
Used a big box fan all night in a power outage!!! Love this Halo Bolt
I have had mine for so long that it is one without and outlet! I have jumped my car and 3 other people's in the time I have had it. The hardest part is opening the hood! I can't say enough good things about this product except I have purchased one for my husband and several others for friends. They have all used them to jump other people's cars! When Halo comes out with a new addition to the Bolt (i.e. the outlet, the wireless charging), QVC runs it as the special value of the day. Before that, they sell the "old" one at a lower price. This is worth the $100.
Absolutely, I don't even use the plug...this just stays in the car in case a jump is needed. This is a pretty impressive charger. Thanks for sharing your experience.
This looks like a great gift for the car this holiday season. Thanks for sharing your review with us Jeff.
It is pretty neat. I was impressed with all of the features. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I own two of the Halo Bolts and the Halo Bolt flashlight. I have owned them for about four or five years. I wouldn't be without them
I've had my Halo Bolt 58830 Mwh for since 97 and still does a great job
Wow! Very cool. Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍
Thanks for your honest reviews, I'm going to buy one now.
I love this thing. It has saved me a number of times since I did the review. The jump start feature is amazing. Let me know what you think when you get it.
That’s a really nice set up it has a lot of extras over the brand I have. You are so right though to carry that with you on trips can be priceless when you need it… And plus I am helped a ton of people out also. Nice review Jeff
Absolutely. I'm putting it right in the glove box for the "just in case". Thanks for checking it out.
that's really cool to plug in a power block. I never thought to try that.
It's convenient... for a little while. Power doesn't last that long. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
This looks awesome! Thanks for the review Jeff! I always hated using booster cables. This looks well worth the $100
The first time your battery won't start and this saves the day it will be totally worth the price. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
With all the battery does work it doesn't provide as much juice as it claims it does I'd recommend that you look for a different option.
"It's an As Seen on TV product, sort of. I saw it on QVC, it's technically TV." 😂😂😂 I had no idea this thing even existed. I think the price is a little high, so if it goes down in price I will be sure to pick one up. Thanks for another awesome review!
Haha, glad someone got that. It is a bit expensive. I'd like to get another one but will wait for the price to drop. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
You can always check out eBay got mine brand new for 80 bucks and the best part the seller lived not far from my town we just meet up in a public setting so we eliminated the shipping and handling.
im going to buy one my brother in law pump all 4 of my car tires and it stop on the right psi amazing gadget very powerful
Thanks for sharing! Have a great day and stay safe!
I have 2 halo bolts and mine work great. Just keep them partially charged. Never let them go completely dead.
That is true. Always keep some charge otherwise you could damage the battery thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thanks BigMan. How long have you had your 2 halo bolts?
@@boomerang6130 My first halo I bought five years ago . I do keep it charged and works great. I use it to jumpstart vehicles and it never let me down. Also when the power goes out I use the 110 outlet to keep my coal stove running till I get the generator going. The second one I just bought this year to keep in another vehicle. This last one I bought on eBay for $82.00 brand new. So far no problems and I really like the 110 outlet. I believe the outlet will only put out 60 or 65 watts of power. Anything over that and it will shut off. I can’t speak for everyone but I would recommend it .
@@BigmanKris OK Big Man, thanks my friend for taking the time to reply back. You have convinced me. I am going to buy myself one.👍
@@boomerang6130 You are welcome my friend ! Hope you will be as happy with yours as I am with mine .
Your reviews are spot on and straight to the point! New Subscriber!
Thank You!!
I appreciate the support! Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u Absolutely Jeff no problem, your efforts and information are appreciated
Had one for many years. Love it
That's awesome, thanks for sharing!
You should be able to jump a car more than 3 times on a charge. I think they advertise that a full charge is good for like 50 jumps, but it depends on whether you have a small car, midsize, or truck.
I don't think you'd get 50 jumps on one charge. The one jump I did took 25% of the battery power. The directions state you can take 3 attempts to charge a battery - this could also mean if it didnt work by the third time it won't work. Either way it's a pretty cool device. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
pretty great Jeff, like I said on the other video I haven't had to use it yet for a car but I have used it, I love it
Omg I'd love to have one of those my van battery is constantly going dead even with a new battery in it n I'm stuck with no vehicle for me and my kids so I definitely need to look into getting a halo
Honestly I use it all the time (sadly-ha) but I am glad that I have it. If you end up getting one let me know how it works for you.
Hi Jeff, I received a Halo as Christmas gift in 2017,I used it once to to change my car. I was amazed how great it worked! Unfortunately it got missed place and I found it packing up to move in February. Question how long to you think I should charge it or even if it still works from sitting so long. One more question can you buy a new battery if needed? I have it charging now , I tried turning on the flashlight and it worked but didn't stay on. Thank you 😊
I really like this thing. Just recently got this version. From my experience it's pretty bad. The wireless charging is so slow that it mys well not even be a feature. The USB ports are old and outdated. They are slow, just not as slow as the wireless charging. The flashlight is fair and acceptable. The jump starter works only down to two bars. Before having to charge it to jump start again. The AC outlet claims 65 watts max. For me I could only run a 30 watt load for 30 minutes on a full charge. Before it stopped supplying power. After I charged it back up. Everything started working normally again. Speaking of charging it comes dead out of the box brand new. For me it takes up to 6 hours to fully charge from dead. The biggest problem I have with this portable battery. Is that it has such low capacity. It just doesn't last long enough to be reliable for emergency use.
I have the rose gold one it works great
Very cool. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thx u 4 sharing I got mine on prime day 2021 it very nice 👍
Very cool. They are very convenient to have. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
this thing looks really cool... but according to other CZcams vids, you don't hook up the black cable connector to jump start the car battery, only the red positive one. (weird)
It is a cool item. Normally when you jump start a car you can ground the black cable. The bolt however tells you to hook up both. I guess it can work either way. Thanks for checking it out.
Great review, thank you so much!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thanks Jeff, zagg had the non qi wireless cellphone charging one for $32 other day and had to pick it up
I like that charger I'm gonna check into it I have a similar but smaller one urs looks better I'm gonna check it out thank u.
I really like mine and I'm glad I bought it. When you get yours let me know what you think.
Video was very detailed thanks .
Glad you liked it. Have a great day and stay safe.
I have the HALO 57720. I didn't know they make one with an outlet.
The outlet is pretty handy. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I know this is like a year later lol but i literally just bought a rose gold halo bolt from Amazon for only 75 dollar!! 🥳
That's a really good deal! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
@@Jeffreviews4u I know, right? I can't wait to get it!! I'm going to Puerto Rico in July! 🇵🇷🥳🙌🏽 It will definitely come in handy! BTW Ditto! Have an amazing night and God bless! ☺
I love my halo hit save me a couple times but yesterday it was -12 here in Spokane Washington. It won’t even charge my car my battery is dead.
I have one and this is my experience - for a power bank and charger it is completely fine, but as a jump starter, no, it only works when you auto batter is slightly discharged. If your battery is several volts below the threshold, or dead, don't count on it! Buy a real jump starter instead.
Thank you I just use it for car and cell phone
it is a handy little charger. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@Jeffreviews4u Worth it for phone charging only? Car startup is a plus..
Thanks im taking this sailing for my travels. Looks like an amazing tool for mariners .. I wonder how waterproof it is?
I doubt that many of these are water proof. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Can you override it
You can burn it out...I've heard if the charge goes too low they may not be able to be recharged...hasn't happened to me but a friend of mine said that happened to his. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Hi I have a halo bolt and I tried to use it when my electric went out, ironically the next day after I received it needed to go to work and wanted to blow dry my hair it didn’t work I tried different one it didn’t work I guess they needed more power than the bolt put out. I then use it for my small floor fan output on fan 50 w the bolt said up to 65 w wouldn’t start fan it tried fan started then stop tried a couple times did not work. Can you do a video with some other small appliances that it says it would work on?
I have one in the works. I'll let you know when it posts. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
@@Jeffreviews4u thank you
Key word is weak or discharged car battery. Dead or bad battery good luck.
I've jumped a few dead batteries (in cars that have sat a while) and it has done a pretty good job. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Will this work for a 2018 Jeep Cherokee? Seems that it would need a longer charging cables?
Once again, no longer available??? Amazon says, We no longer have this item available and we don't know when or even if we will be carrying it any longer. So people, you can't buy this on Amazon either. Just thought you should know.
Hello,I have the, Halo bolt and my Neighbor forgot to turn his headlights
Off so, I put the, jumper cables on, and he off & running!!
Is it still working? I want to buy some for christmas and dont want to gift junk. Thanks!
Really Njoyed your review Jeff. I'm thinking of buying one from QVC for £119.97 UK pounds. Any long term issues with these Jeff ?? They also now come with an air compressor 😀😀👍👍
hmm...was wondering if the halo bolt can charge a lithium battery
I purchased the new version with the air charger & air compressor. The clip on the air compressor won't clip onto the tire stem.
I was able to jump start 14 cars and still have 2 bars w/ the 57720 model
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Can this start a fully dead battery under 1 volt
My thoughts would be no. That's pretty low. That being said the batteries I've tested were not that low.
Just subscribed I love reviews
Then you've come to the right place! Thanks for the support.
Love mine...is there an air pump option/function?
Great 👍........
Great review
I think I would prefer the foxpeed, halo is a good name but it’s over priced and they were cheap with the case and cables... idk
Need a little help. I bought a Memory Saver, ODB device that has the same connector as the supplied battery cable. When I changed the car battery, the power on the Halo didn't stay on, so I lost the memory on the vehicle. Do you know if there is a way to keep the power on continuously? Or a phone for Halo?
After fully charging, without jumping the car, how long will the lamp and/or fan run before dying?
After charging mine the charger port area got warm to the tutch, I used the flashlight part for a bit and that part felt warm. Is that bad?
Does it need to be full to jump a car?
love my 58830
They are pretty impressive machines. I like mine too.
I have one but how does it charge in the car do you take the yellow piece out of the car charger before you use it
I use the attached cigarette adapter to charge when I am driving.
Can this be carried on a plane carryon luggage for traveling ? And where do I purchase this?
How long does the battery life last? I'm hoping to use it as an outdoor outlit to charge a Square Stand setup.
That's a tricky question... depends on consumption. If you're trying to constantly charge something you may want to look at a solar option.
HI..Im wondering if the Halo Bolt will run my toaster nad Keurig coffee maker. Thanks!
I've tried a coffee maker before but the bolt (at least the one I have) is not able to power it.
I believe a halo will put out about 60 to 65 watts of power.
just ordered one
I've used mine several times this month to jump start a few cars. Very handy. Thanks for the comment. Let me know what you think when you get it.
Jeff reviews4u my roommate has one and i’ve seen him use it too :)
@@BeiNacht they are pretty sweet!
Nice video is it worth the money
How does it cost?
Prices vary based on model. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Can I used on a mototec scooter.
Can you charge the halo with your cigarette lighter in your car while your driving ??
Yes, I've done this before. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Can I use this to charge an ebike battery?
Can the acdc halo bolt start a car without a battery
No... you need a car battery to start. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
How many mAh does this have?

halo bowl?
*subtitles error*
Who has one of these and is charging a 13-inch MacBook pro? Please let me know how's it going?
I've not used it on a MacBook, primarily because I dont have one - ha, but I have used it on my HP Spectre and it works great. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Audew 2000A
Much better jump starter and cheaper
Thanks for the tip.
This battery is definitely not what it seems. Do not waste your money or time.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day and stay.
Halo is a bad company to do business with.. I have a big Powr station 1000 and I used it 3 times during storms.. It quit working, The company does not service the power pack, does not offer exchanges, and does not know where to send it for repairs.. I am out $1000 for the 3 brief times we needed it during power outages..
Wow, that's terrible. Thanks for sharing your experience.
