Veratek Multifunction Jump Starter & Inflator All-in-One + ReelCharge Solid-State battery cells power banks
For years the founders of ReelCharge created products for major national brands. Eventually they decided that they could offer customers easy, reliable and accessible power without the added costs of too many middlemen, markups and unnecessarily complicated technology. Their goal: real, practical and genuinely useful tech.
They accomplished that by owning their own manufacturing: their factory, their process and their standards, to eliminate the middlemen and deliver high-quality products directly to you, their customers.
Veratek Multifunction Jump Starter & Inflator All-in-One
The all-in one V8 Pro Air is designed in Seattle. It delivers safe, anti-spark jump-start power for most vehicles — including cars, trucks, boats, buses, SUVs and RVs with up to eight-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, and 12V lead-acid batteries; as well as lawn mowers and motorcycles. It is UL2056 certified for safety and performance. Ten incorporated safety protections guard against high and low temperatures, low battery, reverse polarity of the battery cables, short circuits and more. Do not attempt to jump start vehicles with a higher battery voltage, different voltage or higher displacement. Included are EC5 jumper cables.
An air compressor, which provides a maximum pressure of up to 150 pounds per square inch (PSI), is built-in. It comes with a 23.6-inch compressor hose and a variety of adaptors to inflate car tires and more. There are inflation mode settings on the LED display for car, motorcycle and bicycle tires, as well as balls, each with a preset default air pressure level. Plus and minus buttons let you set the air pressures manually.
The included LED flashlight has three modes: flashlight, SOS and strobe.
Powering the V8 Pro Air is a 2,000A peak lithium battery with a high-capacity (59.2Wh) battery pack, suitable for everyday use and emergency preparedness. Dual 18W USB-A outputs enable fast-charging of phones, tablets, and other devices. It is designed to hold a charge for up to 6–12 months between uses. The battery’s life span is approximately 1,000 charge cycles. Recharge it with the included charging cable.
The included ballistic nylon carrying case, complete with a handle, easily and conveniently stores everything.
According to the website, the V8 Pro Air (model VT-JV8ABK) comes with a “30-day risk-free trial” and a “3-Year Warranty” (note that the User Manual that was included with my review sample states “12 Months Warranty.” I suspect that is wrong or out of date).

ReelCharge Solid-State battery cells power banks
Power banks are widely available from a multitude of companies, so for companies to stand out from the rest requires that their power banks offer more. These ReelCharge power banks have advanced solid-state battery technology, to provide thermal stability and a reduced risk of overheating, swelling, fire or thermal runaway.
They provide two charging outputs: up to 15W for wireless charging plus 20W USB-C output.
Their trim, slim, compact design is also rugged for everyday use, with a precision aluminum housing.
The 5000mAh power bank features a premium tempered glass surface, offering enhanced scratch resistance, and is available in gray and an attractive shade of orange. Four colored LEDs indicate the state-of-charge.
The 10,000mAh power bank foregoes the tempered glass surface, while replacing the LED state-of-charge indicators with an LED display. While its depth is greater than the 5000mAh power bank, it is noticeably slimmer than an older-tech 10,000mAh power bank that I have from another manufacturer.
Both power banks are airlines carry-on compliant, non-flammable and backed by a three-year warranty. Learn more at www.reelcharge.com.
For more information and to purchase these ReelCharge Solid-State battery cells power banks, priced from $49.99 to $69.99, visit https://reelcharge.com/collections/solid-state-power-bank.
Additional models, offering up to 27,000mAh are also available. Visit https://reelcharge.com/collections/reelcharge-power-banks.
I do NOT recommend storing electronic devices in the interior of a closed vehicle, as it can quickly get extremely hot inside.

Jan, the combined jump starter/inflator is a neat gadget. I have a compact inflator that I use on vehicles, bikes, trikes, etc., but have not considered a jump starter. The electronics on my new Jag are so complicated and delicate that I would hate to damage anything.
I’m pretty well equipped for power banks for my devices. I have some at home as well as the built-in in the Jag. David.
David,
I like how this 10,000mAh power bank is significantly slimmer or shorter than my older 10,000mAh power banks. It fits nicely inside my zippered phone case that I wear on my belt. These also claim to be safer, which is a significant factor.
