What Safety Features Does the Gooloo GP80 Offer?
The GP80 includes 10-layer circuit protection, spark-proof clamps, over-current protection, and short-circuit prevention. An LCD screen displays real-time voltage and error alerts. These features minimize risks of accidental damage to vehicles or users, complying with UL and CE safety certifications.
The 10-layer protection system actively monitors temperature fluctuations, voltage spikes, and current overloads. For example, if a user accidentally connects the clamps backward, the reverse polarity protection instantly blocks current flow and triggers a visual alert. The spark-proof design is particularly useful when jump-starting older vehicles with corroded battery terminals. Engineers also added a fire-resistant casing that withstands 150°F external heat, reducing combustion risks during prolonged use.
| Safety Feature | Function |
|---|---|
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Blocks power if clamps are misconnected |
| Over-Charge Prevention | Limits input to 14.6V during recharging |
| Temperature Control | Shuts down at -22°F/-30°C or 158°F/70°C |
How Long Does the Gooloo GP80 Take to Recharge?
Using the included USB-C cable, the GP80 fully recharges in 4.5 hours. A 12V car charger reduces this to 3 hours. The LCD screen shows remaining charging time, and auto-shutoff prevents overcharging. Partial recharges take 1-2 hours for emergency readiness.

Charging speed varies based on power sources. When using a 30W PD charger, users can achieve 0-80% charge in just 2.8 hours through the USB-C port. The device supports pass-through charging, allowing simultaneous jump-starting and recharging. For optimal battery longevity, Gooloo recommends avoiding wireless chargers and using only certified cables. Below is a comparison of charging methods:
| Method | Time to Full Charge | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| USB-C Wall Charger (18W) | 4.5 hours | 92% |
| 12V Car Charger | 3 hours | 88% |
| Solar Panel (60W) | 6.5 hours | 78% |
FAQ
- Does the Gooloo GP80 Work in Cold Weather?
- Yes, it operates reliably in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C). However, battery efficiency decreases slightly in extreme cold—pre-warm the device indoors for optimal performance.
- Is the Gooloo GP80 TSA-Approved for Air Travel?
- No, its 27800mAh capacity exceeds the TSA’s 100Wh limit for carry-on batteries. Check local regulations before flying.
- How Long Is the Gooloo GP80 Warranty?
- Gooloo offers a 24-month warranty covering defects and battery degradation below 70% capacity. Claims require proof of purchase and diagnostic tests via authorized service centers.
