Introducing Raekken, a smart kit to fuel up all our daily gadgets, literally all of them! We are all familiar with the power bank for smartphones, this one is for cars.
The Raekken smartSTROM is a carry-along powerhouse kit that comprises of almost all types of cables to charge all the popular electronics that we can’t live without. This includes smartphones, cameras, laptops, other portable electronic gadgets, motorcycles, cars, and even powerboats! When it comes to the automobiles, the Raekken is not exactly used for charging them, but to jump-start them when their battery goes out of health.<>
The protagonist of the kit is the Smart Power Bank at the center of the carry case, which has a 13,600 mA battery pack. Inside the same unit is the smart circuitry that manipulates the stored electricity to supply power to various kinds of devices in their required power specifications. The digital system can be switched to supply electricity in 5V, 12V, 16V and 19V, to charge small electronics like smartphones and Bluetooth speakers, while the other output configurations are required to power up laptops of all the brands. It also has the old and new iPhone cables as well as cable for android phones.
The second hero of the kit is a tyre inflator. It is powered by the Raekken powerhouse and can inflate a tyre from 0 to 30 PSI in about 3 minutes. It is to be noted that both – the<> smartINFLATOR and the power bank have built-in LED flash light, which is a convenient feature when you are stranded with a flat-tyre at night.
The third important utility of this kit is the jump-start, which may not be required often, but when the situation arises you couldn’t be gladder about having this at hand. Jump-start usually requires a long pair of cables and a secondary vehicle to borrow power from, but the Raekken powerhouse has a highly capable power electronics circuit that boosts the Peak Power to 500 Amps!
So, when your car dies and you are without power, you simple pull-out the short jump-cable from the kit, connect it to the Raekken powerhouse and CPR the car back to life in a jiffy. It’s really as simple as it sounds, as we’ve tried it on our car after purposely draining the battery with the headlights ON at a parking lot. And we know how stressful it can be if you didn’t have such a solution at hand when the car battery dies, as we’ve had ample experience of that in the past. Thankfully, we won’t anymore.
Bottom-line is, if such a kit comes along with every car we purchase, life would be a whole lot better! At least in rental cars and cabs for starters.
