Hello, after reading about fellow Kona Electric owners having to occasionally use a battery jump starter on their dead/weak 12V battery, I’m now looking for some product recommendations.

I would like to get a multifunction unit that also can inflate tires, has a flashlight, and maybe even includes USB charging ports to help power small electronic devices. An ideal unit would hold its charge, be durable, small and lightweight, with a clamshell-style zippered case.

If you have one of these types of battery boosters, please tell us which model you have used – and if you would recommend, or not.

I’m in the US market, but feel free to list your own country’s devices, as it may help someone else on this subreddit.

I like watching these car reviews from this husband-and-wife team out of Vancouver. I thought they did a fair assessment of the second generation, and perhaps last, model.

The juvenile black bear (maybe two years old?) was headed north along Crooked Creek crossing Herndon Road near the intersection with Rossford Lane. We couldn’t get our cameras out in time, foiled again!

Does the iPhone 17 Pro Max fit properly in the second generation wireless charging pad? And, does the phone’s new vapor chamber cooling design work well with the car’s charging pad, and prevent the phone from overheating?
