Costco Type S 12v Jump Starter (8,000 mAh Power Bank – USB C) $49 UNBOXING

Costco has a new Type S 12v Jump Starter for $49 (on sale, normally $59). Its also a 8,000 mAh Power Bank with USB C and USB A connections for 2.4A charging. There are other 12v jump starters and larger power bank combos online: https://amzn.to/2JlQ44d . Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases. For other car accessories and gift ideas, visit SterlingW Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sterlingw

I bought this Type S Jump Starter to replace my 2016 WinPlus Jumpstarter was starting to lose charge. I guess the lifespan for these are about 4 years for replacement. At $49 it was a good deal and my 2016 version saved me several times during various roadtrips and at work when a co-worker needed a jump.

The new features of this 2020 Type S 12 volt jump starter was the IP64 water resistance, the digital display instructions on the side of the device, and the USB C (input and output) which is my typical standard charging plug for most of my devices. It does come with a 12v USB car charger and a micro USB charge cable. The USB fast charging at 2.4a is a good feature. The primary use of this will still be as a car jumper, as travel a lot on the road during the weekend and for road trips.

Per the instructions, it needs to be over 50% charged in order to jump a car and it needs to be charged every 2-3 months to keep the battery life. So I the unit was made in June 2020 (100%) and now its October 2020 with 60% charge, so it basically lost 10% a month or perhaps it was only 80% charged after being built. Any ways, I normally charge every 1-2 month so this should last me another 4 years.

I have the 8 camera Lorex system ( https://amzn.to/2THMq6N ) I got from Costco as I centralized recorder. I did not want to replace my porch lights with flood lights, however this would be much easier to install opposed to running network cable and drilling holes in the wall.
