@kucrush. It has for sure become the "annoying item of the season". They did two TSVs in a period of about a week, and I doubt we're finished with them.

Cold temps are apon us & in some parts of the country freezing temps = DEAD BATTERY season.

Also, people are not driving their cars all that often now. Cars sitting in driveways, garages, street for weeks on end = DEAD BATTERY.

Not surprised Q is having Halo Bolt Overload

@Mz iMac There is that eyeball again. LOL Funny you said that because I have 2 cars and with driving so little one went dead from sitting. I have a bolt that I bought 3 years ago. Started right up! It is a good product.

@kucrush It seems a Halo product has been the QVC star for several Christmas seasons. It's one of those easy gifting items.

I noticed that the Q reviews for Halo Bolt are rather mixed. 50% seem to have problems starting up their cars. They can start it up at first, after that something goes wrong.

Reading the reviews from users around the net including YouTube, 90-95% are excellent-good reviews.

Makes me wonder what is so different w/the Q Halo Bolts than the ones in retail stores?

@Mz iMac One thing I learned was that several years ago, I had a really bad battery. I got stuck in a shopping center parking lot and it did not work. If a battery is beyond help, it won't work. I think that is what happens to most. It is good if you leave a door open, or don't run a car for awhile. If you have a really old and bad battery forget it.

@BalletBabe That is a really good point! Never thought the health of the battery would come into play. Especially if the battery is the cause of a parasitic drain.

My mother and I agree that QVC assumes that the more times you see the presentation the more you come to realize how much you need an item. That is how I ended up getting a Bolt as a Christmas gift last year.

@Mz iMac I am under the realization that the Q receives a cheaper version of items which is why the price is cheaper !! You get what you pay for right?? So you have an excellent point. My hubby has always had a rule and it has served us well over the years. We change our car batteries every 5 years, prevention is key

@LindaSal Cheaper price at the Q? Cheaper Quality?

QUANTITY: Halo knows if Halo Bolt is offered on the Q they probably will sell thousands (1,300) vs Home Depot who MIGHT sell 2 in a month. Volume selling speaks loudly.

#2 I'm going to follow your lead on replacing battery every 5 years. Mine was 6 years old when it gave up the ghost - current one is 3.

Tech explained how many things are still running in the background even when car sits in garage..........clock for example.....battery drain.

Based on my experience don.t buy it. Bought 2 a couple years ago. One was a gift. I should have realized with only a 30 day warranty it was not a good product. About 4 months after purchase my car would not start. Halo did not work. Called Halo and the customer service guy was really amused to tell me that if my car was actually dead it would not work. Where was this info in the demos etc. Tried it a second time with a neighbor's car and it wouldn't start either. So now I just use it to charge my cell phone on trips. Next purchase will be from Costco at half the price and they will let me return it if there is a problem.
