Maybe one of the jump start/power bank/compressors? Something along these lines? Amazon.com: Built-In Air Compressor - Jump Starters / Jump Starters, Battery Chargers & Port...: Automotive

And maybe look for one with USB ports ;)

Well if that is the case - Here is one that has USB Port (even available on eBay for $109) :



BTW:"My" BAD - Here @DavidOck & I are spending your money for Ya' . . . :facepalm:
I know - I know - Not Nice ! ! ! :rolleyes:

That one has some mixed reviews (quite a few 1 stars), it also does not say it is lithium, which most likely means it is lead acid.

Oh Well - I didn't read the reviews, I just found that one because it had a USB port and @DavidOck suggested getting one with . . . So - I was trying to help someone else to spend their money along with him . . . SO - There . . . :pervy: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyway - Like "They" Say - "Can't Please Everyone" & "BUYER BEWARE" . . . Plus, although I always look for the less expensive prices - I never said I was infallible when it comes to providing a suggestion for someone to get something, particularly when I am trying to spend their money . . . ;)

IMHO - The only one I know that is that infallible, in more ways then one. especially when it comes to finding "Stuff" at a GREAT Price that a majority of people want or NEED - is @JCinFLA, talk about a "Mench" . . . :thumbs:

Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

Ain't that - RIGHT - "Most People" ? :rolleyes:

    EDIT: You weren't totally clear on your wording, but I am assuming you when you say you put the battery in backwards, you meant in the charger.... and the charger was a newer one that could detect that and as a result it simply did not charge that battery.

    Yes that is exactly what happened. I'll blame my unclear post (and this headache) on the IPAs last night too.

    Today I have to do more Christmas shopping for me and Mom. Looking for a good air compressor for filling tires for my son from me. Stadium seats for my brother and sis in-law for Mom to give them as well as perfume for sil. I have to mix some juice. Clean house. Annnddd, I want to put together my vape cabinet. 18 days until Christmas...:shock: I’m not ready. I need to get my son a few more things and I’m out of ideas. And I have a lot of gifts to buy for my family. I want to get Dad a new printer. OK I’m feeling a bit panicked. :unsure:

    Others have suggested it but I got a battery pack jump starter for my car and an air compressor that hooks up to the cars power. The one's that have both in one unit are nice too.

    If you're going to get one of those, get one that is Lithium, not Lead Acid. The Lead Acid ones need to be charged like every 3-4 months and if you forget to do it, they end up being garbage. Lithium can hold the charge to like 70% after 2 years.

    Hmm I just went and checked the one I have and it says Lithium Polymer battery. Never even heard of that, anyone know anything about them?

    I did not even know they had lithium now until this past week when someone else pointed it out in this thread (I forgot who). I have had several of the lead acid ones (at least 3 over the years) and inevitably I eventually forgot about charging each one and they ended up in the trash. I was warning someone to be sure they charged theirs regularly because of that and that's when someone said they had lithium now.

    For those, you could charge them every 1-2 years and they would be fine. Far superior because they just sit in your trunk (or glove box for the small units without a compressor) and it is easy to forget about them.

    Shock...Gasp

    I am retro vaping today. Protank (1.8 ohm coil) on a provari 2.5 at 3.7 volts. It is a delightful change from my usual sub ohm builds. Really enjoying it. Nice change of pace.


    Yup, been doing that a lot lately. Then when I hit my subohm tanks, the flavor is much more pronounced and I don't even sub-ohm vape.

    I'd expect a lithium polymer battery to be fine for a jump starter.

    The Viking unit I bought, from Harbor Freight, is lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4.

    I reached out to Skullkandy to ask if they'd sell me a half dozen of their plastic "off" collars, for use with mm510 large positive nuts. The collar works great on the Alchemist squonker I bought from them.

    As long as your charger has reverse polarity protection that marriage is gonna be FINE. Just think of it as one of them had a brief affair and stayed in bed, but it's really regretful and promises never to do it again.

    There are dire reports of a particular charger, I forget but it may be one I have a different model of, and like it started CHARGING the reversed battery somehow.

    If that happened to me I'd chuck the battery AND the charger probably. I think that was the general consensus anyway.

    My last purchase was 14 of my beloved Green Samsungs. I have not bought anything in a week and I am GLAD. The packages (I still have one to get at the like, PO, it requires a signature I have NO CLUE what it is) like, they were embarrassing by the end.

    Break time. The good news is I have new stuff to satisfy me until the end of time, as I have no real time (I find setting up new tanks stressful, not fun, usually) to deal with it.

    I should shove my untouched NON MTL Brunhilde that I got by accident on the classifieds, then I only gotta go to the PO ONCE. L OL maybe soon.

    Man I slept until 11.. Sheesh.

    No my charger didn't try to charge it thankfully. I have a Miboxer C4-12 and when I pressed "slot" to see if the second one was also done charging it just said "error." That's when I realized my mistake.

    Also I'll never think of my batteries the same now that they've had "an affair." :lol:
