    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Plenty of videos from YouTube to show you it works.

    They even disconnected the car battery and just use the powerbank directly to start the engine.

    Can't we just wrap it in 1 to 2 layers of insulating foam (the silver sheet used for roofing insulation) and call it a day? Temp and shock protection, no?

    I for one think it's nice to have in case of emergency. Murphy's Law and everything.

    well for fender benders, yes. but for major collisions, nope. they're just encased in plastic, easy to crack, then the cells get punctured or the conductors inside short. take note these conductors are separated only by VERY thin layers of PVC or kapton

    Parang sa action movies, basta nabaril ang sasakyan, sasabog. Basta nabangga, sasabog. Basta nahulog, sasabog. We all know these are just for effects and thrills. Sa real life, di naman ganun.

    Hehe. Huling dumating ang mga pulis.
    Simple lang para malaman natin kung sasabog. Ibilad sa araw hanggang alas tres saka ihampas sa pader.

    wala naman sinabi na sasabog pag nasa sasakyan mo e. ang sinabi lang e be aware where you place it inside your car. so what was said is to just take precautions. don't place it where if you car is in a collision the battery will be damaged and thus cause a bigger accident. so common sense lang don't put it on the door pockets, or rear tool compartment if your vehicle happens to be an suv. yun lang. simple lang. walang sinabi na huwag kang bumili. wala din sinabi na sasabog yan 100% of the time. ang sinabi lang e ingatan.

    nilahat nyo naman agad. parang dutertard ang reasoning e.

    One of these proved useful today. It's one of those Crony brands sold in Lazada.

    A couple of times I've used that portable jump starter. One guy with his Elantra along SCTEX, one in Bataan with his 323, mine when I left my indoor lamp turned on (I can't believe it was able to discharge my battery overnight), and many other instances.

    I bought mine at Ace hardware. I tried it first before paying for it. I disconnected one terminal and tried to start the engine. It really works. I'll buy a new one for me, because I gave it to my brother.

    Mirage.

    The powerbank has its own detachable alligator clamps which you just clamp on to the battery terminals observing proper polarity.

    could you give more details?
    brand and rated capacity?

    Sure. From its plastic carrying case, it says:

    Brand name: Crony jump starter power station
    Model: D28A+
    Output for vehicle: 12V
    Start current: 200A
    Peak current: 400A

    It doesn't say what the mAh rating is though.

    It has outputs for powering USB devices and laptops. It also comes with a tire inflator that plugs into the powerbank.

    Looking at its Lazada ad now, I see a lot of bad reviews (with troll-like grammar) about it exploding while charging. Can't really recommend it now but, eh, mine works.
