Magnificent, but LEDs are pathetic
THIS THING IS AWESOME.
The best: is that you can keep charging it (the manual says its good for it to be charged all the time). So I just let it charge at all times in the back of my car.
The worse: I think my light on my wrist watch is brighter than the LEDs on this thing. But meh, in an emergency situation, any light will do.
I've only owned it for a month, and already I have jump started 5 cars, 3 of which were a large truck variety (and actually it was 3 back to back jump starts, the guy kept letting it die lol).
The power inverter works well! It powered some speakers at a beach for several hours. It can power a soldering iron for doing electrical work in car. It can KINDA power a heat gun. It can NOT power a vacuum cleaner.
Also, I have owned several emergency compressors, and the number one problem is the pressure gauge. The PSI air pressure gauge on this Potek device is AMAZING!!!! Probably the best that I have ever seen. Even while it is running (a LOT of vibration) the gauge is readable. It seems accurate as well. I use it to fill up my car tires all the time. It is great!
