We have studied a little his appearance. Housing is made of glossy but durable plastic. On front side of this portable power supply is very bright LED lamp. It has few different modes such as SOS and emergency strobe. As you keep pressing power button these modes will change until flashlight eventually shuts down. Definitely a great additional value for this multi-function mini jump starter. Besides flashlight there are two 5V USB outputs (1A and 2A) and one output used to attach jumper clamps. Alongside with 12V and 19V output and input used to recharge this powerful portable charger, left side contains power button and five LED lamps who indicate how much energy is left inside XP-10.

As manufacturer climes that Micro Start XP-10 can start Diesel engines, we did test on a 6.0l Dieselengine. This device is the strongest one from Antigravity Batteries and it was kinda expected this powerful mini jump starter will start our drained 12V battery.
The procedure is quite simple. We recharged Micro Start XP-10 in order to receive full power. It took some time but it is better to keep it full charged always; who knows when you will need it. Also it is quite easy to do so as you have a mobile charger so you can plug it in the cigarette lighter place in your car. Anyway, we connected detachable mini clamps and pressed “BOOST” button on clamps! So simple it is! We waited about 20 sec. until finally turned the car key. The engine started at once! No problem at all! Really impressive it jump-started powerful 6.0L Diesel engine especially because we used these massive jump starters for this purpose. However, not just it jump started our car but had enough juice to jump start two more cars, recharged my iPad and we were not even close to draining this pocket-size powerful device.
As we earlier mentioned this mini jump starter is multi-function device. It means it can be used as power bank to recharge most of your gadgets. 18000 milliamps of capacity make this portable power supply a must-have device when you go out for camping or any other place where you can’t recharge your electronics. Actually, it can recharge an iPhone up to seven times and also as it has 2 USB outputs it can charge 2 gadgets at the same time. If you use 2 Amp output you will be able to recharge your cell phone twice as faster than using 1 Amp output. For purposes of this review, we used it in our office and it did a great job by recharging our cell phones and Laptops.
