| Also | not published | USB power bank and 100 lumen LED torch |
| Auto shut-off | Preset pressure, so it stops on its own | not published |
| Charge retention | not published | Holds charge for up to a year, so it is usable when actually needed |
| Duty cycle | Roughly 25 minutes on at 30 PSI, then a cooling period. This is the specification that decides whether a compressor survives, and it is in the manual if anywhere | not published |
| Engine limits | not published | Petrol up to 6 litres, diesel up to 3 litres. Diesel needs far more cranking current, which is why the diesel figure is half |
| Flow rate | 1.47 CFM | not published |
| Jump starts per charge | not published | About 20 |
| Maximum pressure | 120 PSI | not published |
| Not for | Truck or large SUV tyres from flat -- the 400P is the model for that | not published |
| Peak amps | not published | 1000 A -- a peak figure, not a sustained one |
| Power | Direct to the battery with alligator clips, not a cigarette lighter socket -- a socket cannot supply the current | not published |
| Reverse polarity protection | not published | Yes, and it is the reason to buy a proper unit rather than a cheap one -- clamping backwards with an unprotected starter destroys electronics |
| Storage in a car | not published | Lithium, so it should not live in a car through Indian summer -- store it indoors |
| Why it matters | Inflating four tyres from flat can exceed the duty cycle in one session. Let it cool between tyres | not published |
Every row is a figure one or both products record. A blank is a figure the catalogue does not hold, not a zero.
