Diwali drives are long, and they are when a weak battery finally gives up or a slow puncture shows up at night. The Autofy VoltX jump starter and inflator is built for both moments. Here is how it works, how to use it safely, and where it falls short.
What is the Autofy VoltX and what does it do?
VoltX is a cordless 3-in-1 kit: jump starter, 150 PSI tyre inflator and power bank. Per Autofy, it has an 8000mAh battery, suits 12V petrol and diesel vehicles up to 6000cc, and carries a 2 year warranty. Price: Rs 4,099 (MRP Rs 12,999).
How does a portable jump starter work?
The starter motor needs a short, heavy burst of current. A drained 12V battery (lights left on, car parked for weeks) cannot supply it. A jump starter clamps onto the battery terminals and supplies that current for a few seconds of cranking; then the alternator takes over.
It gets you moving but does not repair the battery. Needed a jump twice? Get the battery tested.
How to jump-start a car with VoltX: step by step
Follow the VoltX manual first. The usual clamp-type sequence:
- Ignition, lights and AC off; neutral or P, handbrake on. Check VoltX is charged.
- Red clamp to positive (+) first, then black clamp to negative (-) or bare metal earth.
- Ready the unit as the manual describes, then crank for a few seconds only.
- Once running, remove black first, then red. Drive a while to recharge the battery.
Safety: never let the clamps touch or reverse them, never use it on a cracked or swollen battery, and use it on 12V vehicles only.
VoltX specifications: what Autofy actually claims
Is the VoltX inflator good enough for a road trip?
For top-ups, yes. Under-inflated tyres run hotter on highways. Set the target PSI on the LCD and auto-cut stops there. Its rated 60 L/min airflow is the highest among Autofy's inflators.
If you only need an inflator and never a jump start, the cheaper AirBit cordless inflator is a smaller alternative. Here is how VoltX compares with Autofy's other tyre inflators:
Who should buy the VoltX?
Long-distance drivers, cars parked for days, and cars with extra electrical load such as a wireless CarPlay video box or brighter LED headlights. Left on with the engine off, these drain the battery faster.
For a Diwali trip kit, add a cordless Storm 3 car vacuum for the post-trip mess and a MISTIQUE car perfume.

What is the one honest limitation?
Autofy lists battery capacity (8000mAh) and engine size (up to 6000cc) but not peak or cranking amps, the figure most buyers use to compare jump starters. Treat the 6000cc claim as your guide, keep the unit charged, and do not expect it to revive a physically damaged battery.
