I agree, i believe that they probably use a small pump because it create less heat so that it doesn't damage the electrical component.

I used it once to pump up a front tire on a mower to 9 pounds. It took forever 😞😞

It survived a four day camping trip. Was able to be direct charged from a Jackery SolarSaga Mini 40W and that solar panel kept it topped up between uses in the evening and early morning. Excellent display of its use powering AC devices!

Great video one question that it leaves unanswered is what type of block I have to plug into the wall to charge it when the battery goes low. Can I use the same block that I use to charge my iPhone to charge the unit?

@Toolspecs

Yes just a phone block. You can use either a USB-A or a usb-c block, both work fine but of course usb-c blocks charge way faster.

How long that's a last?

You show, to charge the unit itself, plug the USB into the port on the unit....what do I plug the other end into...? I don't want to use a block plug that I insert the other end of the cord and then plug that into a standard household plug-in and ruin the unit by attempting to charge with too much power. Do I plug the other end into a USB port, perhaps, on my computer...???

A computer would work or just a regular cellphone power block. Power block will tell you voltage "V and amps "A" Calculate watts "W" : V × A = W

Besure to watch his other video demo

Great tutorial. I bought it yesterday and after fully charge the display shows 12.4 v. I saw some videos made by other people with 12.7. Is it normal that I’m not getting more than 12.4? I’ve also read that it should be charge 20hours during first charging.

@Toolspecs

6 ай бұрын

Anything over 12.4v is just what we call a surface charge, it will settle back down to 12.4v which is fully charged. After the unit reach full charge, there's absolutely no point in keeping it on charge for longer.

The battery was halfway charged, as I expected. I plugged it in to charge, and it indicated charging by the battery indicator moving up. A couple minutes later it stopped doing that and just showed half a battery with no movement. Then it the screen would just go blank (went off, I assume). So I tried to charge something else from the battery to see if it would work the other way, but it wouldn't charge my phone or my computer. So I tried the AC plug, and it worked. And the air worked. The light worked. But it's been two hours and I can't get it to charge.
