Our Take
PaddleXaminer tested The Athena this summer.
The user manual is short, I recommend reviewing it before using the Athena to ensure you complete the steps in the correct sequence. I really like the compact size of the battery pack. The carrying case is great to store all the parts. It has fewer accessories than it’s bigger brother the Zeus, which makes it easier to store all the parts. The Athena is slightly less powerful than the Zeus, but still packs enough punch to charge your cell phone four times, jump-start your car, or a new acquaintance’s car to earn karma points.
I was coming out of the grocery store in Silverthorne, Colorado and noticed someone with their vehicle hoodup. I asked if everything was ok, they said they think their car battery is dead. “I can help with that, give me a minute.” I dropped off my groceries in my car, and grabbed the Athena. The person looked at me skeptically as I put on the clamps. “Go ahead and start it up.” I said. They turned the key, and after a couple cranks, their vehicle started up!
The Athena is a key piece of equipment for any vehicle because you never know when you’ll need it.
