It's one of the biggest power banks you can buy at 99.9Wh, with USB-C and USB-A, DC output, and jump starter capability. While these portable jump starters are designed for normal cars and trucks, I thought I'd give the Gooloo GT6000 a test -- starting a 1936 Albion SP PV70 coach, one of the many vintage vehicles at the Anglesey Transport Museum here in North Wales, UK (and yes, it still drives! The GT6000 has a 3.2-inch LED screen that shows the basics: battery capacity, charge/discharge rate, and whether the unit is ready to jump start a vehicle.
