A Pocket Size Jump Start
When the Micro-Start arrived in the mail. We were not disappointed. Everything that we used to drag around with us (and so many more cool accessories) fits into the included leather case. The case wasn't anything special, but it's definitely nice to have a place to corral all the accessories. It reminds us a lot of the old CD cases we had in our cars back in high school.
Amazingly, on my first draft of this post, I neglected to mention the jumper cables. There are so many awesome features that I completely spaced the most obvious (and important) feature. The Micro-Start comes with a set of small detachable jumper cables which plug into a covered port at the end of the jump started. The small cables are much appreciated as not only do they make the whole system that much more portable, but they replace a really heavy set of cables.
Along the side of the Micro-Start is the laptop port (this is not included in the XP-3 version), five battery level indicators, the power button, a USB charging port, a 12V outlet (also not included in the XP-3), and the 12V input port for charging the Micro-Start. We expected the Micro-Start to come with a wall charger, but we were surprised that it came with a car charger too. That was a huge bonus and a big plus for us, since the ability to charge our other mobile devices was what sold us.
We are on the road a lot and with our blog, our business, and other work related activities, that means that are electronics are on the road a lot as well. In the last few years, I have often considered buying a battery back up for my cell phone but I’ve honestly just never gotten around to it. After we got the Micro-Start, we took a trip to Best Buy and took a look at some of the battery back ups I WOULD have bought, had the Micro-Start not had the USB port - they were in the ball park of $60-$100! Granted, we paid $159.99 for the XP-1 because we wanted to be able to charge our laptops, but even if we had spent a $130 on the XP-3, not only could we charge our phones (for a REALLY long time) but we'd still have the ability to jump start our cars, truck, and ATVs. From a financial standpoint, the Micro-Start is a little more expensive. But for us it was a no brainer.
We always have so much stuff with us and being able to use the Micro-Start for jump starts and as a battery back up for our phones is really nice. We tried it on both Scott's Android and my iPhone 5 and it worked great. We were even able to use the flash light while our phones charged. That gave us quite a bit of peace of mind and we will definitely be ordering a second Micro-Start for our car.
Some of the included adaptors for mobile devices were the old iPhone/iPod 30-pin charger and a micro and mini USB, which you can see plugged into Scott's Android phone in the photo above. Unfortunately, the Micro-Start did not include an adapter for the lightning cable used on newer Apple devices, but I was able to charge my iPhone 5 using my own lightning cable plugged into the USB port.
The Micro-Start also included adapters for a variety of laptop chargers. Scott's HP fits, and we're planning a little experiment in the next few weeks to update everyone on just how well the Micro-Start works with the laptop. Unfortunately, there is not currently an adapter available for the MagSafe connector used by Apple. So while we can use the Micro-Start to power Scott's HP laptop and HP Chromebook, I'm out of luck if I want to charge my Macbook Pro. I'm still looking for a way to make this work, but if the sole reason for buying a Micro-Start is to charge a Macbook, I wouldn't hold your breath. Everyone else should be fine though.
