PoD - Portable Power on Demand

Photo main
 PLAY
Powerful - Capable of jump starting a car. Functional - Capable of charging four devices at once. Portable - Fits in a glove box.
If you've ever needed a jump start, but there was nobody you could ask to hook their car up to yours, then this is your portable solution. The Power on Demand X4 jump starter is capable of jump starting everything from small atvs and watercraft up to a V-10 engine. It carries a charge for up to one year so you can charge it and leave it tucked away in your trunk or you can carry it with you on business trips and charge up your laptop or tablet or smartphone. It even has a flashlight built in. The X4 is just about to hit the market and already we are developing the NANO version which will be about half the size of the X4. The X4 is roughly 5"x3"x1", and the nano will be closer in size to your cell phone (only a half inch thick).
This unit, the X4 PoD, is already on the market. If you're looking for the present for that guy who has everything...this it! The purpose for this KickStarter campaign is to obtain the funding for us to launch the new NANO version which is half as thick as the X4 and still carries a sizeable battery pack. The X4 battery holds 12,000 mAh, while the NANO holds 8,000 mAh. Both will jump start the same vehicles up to a V-10 engine. 
This video below will show the X4 jump starting a car.

X4 PoD jump starting a car
We are launching a new NANO version of this same X4 device that will be thinner and that is the basis for this campaign. This is to help us get this product launched and out there.
The charging cables will charge Apple products as well as Android products! In the picture below we demonstrate a device from each of the 4 charging tips. Unfortunately we didn't have an Android phone to display here, but the micro tip charges Android smartphones.

Production

We have already put the X4 model on the market and it has proven it's success.  We have developed the nano model and we are ready for production.  The prototype works exceptionally well.  We need a minimal amount to get the first batch made, and this is where Kickstarter comes in.  By funding the initial $1,500, we will be able to produce the first batch.  Since all of the materials have been sourced and the internal components have already been manufactured, we are confident in our ability to successfully fulfill all orders by the end of October 2014.

Risks and challengesLearn about accountability on Kickstarter

We have already successfully placed the X4 into the market and have been successful selling it. The manufacturer has already proven their capability to get the units made and delivered in a timely manner, so we don't see any problems getting these NANOs made and in our hands in time to ship out to you within our expected delivery time. With our projected shipping to be in October, we are confident we will meet our deadlines if not earlier. Once the project gets fully funded I'll send out updates on how the production is going.

    Solutions from Science has this this in the market already, I know I have one. Works amazingly well. Has its own case, very nice. Works like it says it does. Have jump started my old 59 chevy truck a couple of times & my lawn mower that was sitting since last year. Haven't had to use for the cell phone yet. Even helped my neighbor jumping her big ride on lawnmower. The case has all the cords. This product is amazing and worth every penny. Quality, nothing cheap here. I highly recommend. Won't leave home without it.
