    i don't want to argue but is a collision at 30 kph strong enough?

    forget it. i'll just stop at my suggestion to keep it in its box and be mindful where you place it inside your vehicle. safety first lang.

    i have 1 myself btw.

    I have my doubts with the inflator. Portable air compressors vibrate like crazy when running. I'm afraid it'll break the battery sooner. The powerbank itself could be good but I think incorporating an air compressor isn't such a hot idea.

    From the pictures, the starter/bank is totally separate from the air compressor.

    Ay, onga no. *toink* hehe.

    Nasa wishlist ko yan dati pero wala pang pic na nakalagay sa parang briefcase nya kaya kala ko one piece.

    I hope may adaptor na pwedeng gamitin sa modem/router ng pldt.

    It depends on your needs. I can't carry that thing when backpacking to charge my smartphone and tablet.

    My primary use is the portable power bank. Secondary lang ang jump starter function.

    By the way, the 300000 mAh advertised is obviously a typo error. 30000 mAh makes more sense. The cheap price also makes me wonder about the quality. My tire inflator alone costs more than that set.

    I also have no idea bro. But consider this.. many uses dashcams with lithium batteries. Nakabilad pa sa araw. If 30kph collision is a major impact, dapat sumabog rin sila di ba? They would pose more danger since sa harap nakakabit ang dashcam. Close to the driver and front passenger.

    bumps won't cause it to explode. but if the outer shell is breached and the wires inside start crossing, or the cells get punctured then you'll have a nasty lithium-ion fire

    a padded box won't be good enough. i recommend a tough metal box that would contain the fire as well

    Just buy a jumper cable. What are the chances your vehicle will stall? And what are the chances your vehicle will stall and there noone around to help you.

    how can it output the said spec of 150 - 300A jumpstart when it is 14Ah * 3.7v?

    doubt all these powerbanks can juice a really dead battery. buy this primarily as a powerbank, not as a jumpstarter

    google sony VTC5 cells then recall your basic electronics class. you just need a few cells of those cells in series and parallel to start a car

    Unless the cells were manufactured by the same chaps who designed the Note 7's battery, there's little chance of it exploding inside the car. Just keep it out of direct sunlight and enclosed spaces (ie. glove box, center console, trunk) and just store it as low to the floor as possible, such as under the seat, to keep it relatively cool.

    That said, in the last 8 years, I've only had to use my jumper cables once. I personally think that those jump-starter powerbanks are a waste of money.

    I'm thinking it just uses a heavy-duty capacitor for the jumpstarting function. Drawing too much current directly from the cells is a bad idea.

    luck plays into the picture. mine saved me when my sorento's battery died a few months ago. i also had a set of jumper cables in the trunk at the time but the cars around me at the parking lot at circle-C were all, uhmm, parked, nobody to help.

    Nauuso ngayon ang dashcam. I am not expecting but my dashcam drained my one year old Motorcraft battery for only 3 days continuous recording inside the garage. I can't believe that dash cam consume a lot.

    Napabili tuloy ng jumper cable ng di oras.

    It says, there is an output for jumpstart and another output for USB charging.

    At full charge, a 14AH battery would last for 1 hour with a discharging current of 14A.
    If you will discharge that battery at 300A, it can last for 2mins and 48 seconds. That is enough to start your car.

    Flag a taxi. Heck, even book a Grab to a pseudo destination, just to get a jump. I also have a Petron Privilege Card and comprehensive insurance that offers free roadside assistance.

    For something that can only happen once in a blue moon, I'll take my chances with those choices.

    agree pops. but i go places where there are no taxis, only carabao drawn carts. and they pass only twice a day if they do at all, day break and sunset.

    sorry to burst the bubble...

    but for me, this thing is not really useful in the pinas where we have a tropical climate... only on countries with cold weather is the battery performance/capacity affected thus need for a little jump start...
