Pocket Power Plus
Pocket Power Plus is a book-sized device that weighs one pound and promises to run all of your electronic devices while also helping to jumpstart vehicles. Here’s our Pocket Power Plus review.
Pocket Power Plus calls itself a pocket-sized device that “lets you create your own personal “Micro-Grid””. The device weighs one pound and is priced at around $120.
The device features 16 different types of adapters, which means you can charge just about any of your electronic adapters using it.
There’s also jumper cables included with your purchase, which means you can jumpstart a vehicle if you’re away from a power source. You can also use them on USB-charged tactical flashlights which are rising in popularity.
The product is endorsed by Glenn Beck, who has gone on record stating that “Every American family should have at least three Pocket Power Pluses.”
Of course, Glenn Beck is the same guy who believes that if you log onto a certain website, the American government will secretly gain access to everything in your home – so I’m not sure if his endorsement is a good or bad thing.
Pocket Power Plus claims to use a polymer lithium ion battery to provide its power.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer never mentions how big that battery is, which makes it difficult to determine how much power the device outputs. We also don’t know anything about its wattage, amperage, or voltage – things that are really important when you’re comparing the batteries in portable chargers.
Nevertheless, the manufacturer claims you can charge any device using one of the 18 different adapters (including a USB adapter).
An iPad, for example, will run for 18 hours after being charged with the Pocket Power Plus. A Kindle will run for 32 hours, and an iPhone will run for 64 hours.
Amazingly, the device even claims to double your laptop’s battery run time – something that is physically impossible.
Although the device claims to fit into your pocket, it’s a little larger than that. It does weigh just one pound, but it’s about six inches long, four inches wide, and an inch thick, or about the size of a medium-sized block of cheese.
In other words, you need really big pockets if you call this device “pocket-sized”.
Pocket Power Plus claims that it can easily jumpstart virtually any vehicle, including a motorcycle, car, truck, or even a bus.
As a real life example, Pocket Power Plus explains that one skeptical engineer took the device home in an effort to restart his Harley after months of inactivity. The Harley fired up within the first few cranks after being jumpstarted by Pocket Power Plus – even though the high-compression engines in Harleys are notoriously hard to turn over.
The manufacturer hasn’t published a video of the Pocket Power Plus actually starting a vehicle. However, a video posted online showed customers using a Pocket Power Plus to jumpstart their vehicle. You can view that video .
Other than that video, there’s no evidence that the device can actually jumpstart a car.
