Today we are diving into the new DeWALT DXAE20VBBK 20V Battery Booster!

The Dewalt automotive jump starter is a must for any garage. As someone with three vehicles, it's only a matter of time until one of them needs a jump start. My favorite part about this jump starter is its size. The unit itself is rather small which makes it great for portability. The unit measures 9" tall x 6" deep x 7" wide. The only issue I have with the unit is the length of the actual jumper cables, as I find them to be rather short at 20" measured from the unit to the end of the clamp. When not in use, the jumper cables clamp onto the back of the unit to prevent the cables from going everywhere and to keep everything tidy. The clamping width of the clamps themselves is rather narrow. I did have issues trying to clamp the clamp onto the positive post of the battery with the terminal attached. I had to clamp the unit on a narrow bit of exposed metal on the terminal to get it to grab properly. The two USB-A ports on the front of the unit are a nice addition, as it also allows you to charge small devices such as your phone in the event that you need some extra battery. Power output seems decent, with my Pixel 6 estimating 2 hrs. to fully charge from 5% to 100% using the USB ports on the jump starter. Given that most devices are now switching to USB-C, it would have been nice to have one of ports be USB-C to provide a variety of charging options. Boosting the battery was straight forward (just make sure you read the instructions properly depending on how you intend to use the jump starter) and efficient. I connected the jump starter to my car battery, let it charge, removed the jump starter and my car started right up. The two LED lights on the back of the unit are a nice addition in the event that you have to try to jump start your battery in pitch black. Personally, I feel that the lights are a bit weak and don't provide much light output (you'll get more light out of your cellphone camera light), but it's better than nothing. In my opinion, the lights have a bit of a design flaw, in that the lights aim directly forward, whereas they would have been more useful if they tilted downwards to some degree to illuminate the surface you're trying to work on (in this case the engine bay). Overall, I'm very pleased with the tool, especially because I can use the 20v batteries I already have and not have to worry about buying another dedicated unit with a built-in battery that you commonly see nowadays. Though a word of caution, as there is one downside to the 20v lithium-ion battery, and that is that it should not be stored in the car, at least not during the summer as the battery should never see temperatures higher than 130F (which can easily be reached in the summer inside a vehicle). Take that into consideration if you are planning to keep this jump starter in your car.
