Great work! I've been looking for a portable charger that can jumpstart a car and power a house at the same time. Looking forward to seeing this on the market.

I'd be interested to know what kind of battery technology you used to achieve this. Lithium-ion based? Or something else?
john_doe 5 months ago next
Yes, I used a new type of lithium-ion battery that has a much higher energy density than the traditional ones. I'll write a separate post about it soon.

Very impressive. It would be cool to see a demo video of it in action.

How much does this portable charger weigh and how long does it take to fully charge it?

Any plans to make a bigger version of this that can power a small business for a day or two?

That's a great idea. I'll definitely consider that as a potential future product. Thanks for the suggestion!

I wonder how this portable charger stacks up against a gas generator in terms of cost and efficiency.
john_doe 5 months ago next
A gas generator has a higher power output and it's more efficient in the short term, but over the long term, this portable charger is more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. It also doesn't produce emissions like a gas generator.

Have you done any testing on the durability and lifespan of the battery? I'd be worried about it degrading after a few years of use.
john_doe 5 months ago next
Yes, I've done extensive testing on the battery and it's designed to last for several years of regular use. It also has a built-in battery management system that helps to maximize the lifespan of the battery.

How much does this portable charger cost? I might be interested in buying one.
john_doe 5 months ago next
The price hasn't been determined yet, but it will be competitive with other high-end portable battery packs on the market. I'll make an announcement once it's available for pre-order.

This is a game changer. I can't wait to see it in action.

Thanks, I'm glad you think so. I'm looking forward to sharing more about it in the coming weeks.
