@BigPappa youre off my Christmas card list.
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![]()
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.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' . . .
I know - I know - Not Nice ! ! !

I wasn't picking on you btw... lol Hope you did not take it that way!Oh Well - I didn't read the reviews, I just found that one because it had a USB port . . . AND - I was trying to help someone else to spend their money . . . 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 . . . IMHO - The only one I know that is 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" . . .
Just Sayin' . . .

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.
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...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.

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.
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.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?
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.
This post is useless without links!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.
