The product, in the report: POD (Power on Demand). A compact charging unit designed to charged small electronics and jump dead batteries in autos. Also contains a built in flashlight. Note: I have a photo but your sites ‘Add File’ is not working
I purchased a P.O.D. X4 (Power on Demand) Feb 22, 2015. I’ve used it a few times. Mostly camping charging cell phones. I’ve jumped my Goldwing twice and my car once. The second time I jumped my car, I had just fully charged the unit. I connected it to my battery posts, and had it in my hand trying to press the button to turn it on. The button would not press, only to find out it was swelling in my hand, popping the case apart. It immediately, got hot and started billowing heavy white smoke. I dropped it and disconnected the leads to the battery and dropped it to the ground. It popped and fizzled spewing heavy white smoke, so heavy I thought someone was going to call the fire dept. Within seconds it got extremely hot and melted. I could have easily burned my hand, or worse, catch my car on fire if I had left it unattended.
I’ve tried connecting the manufacturer, but no response.
It’s too bad about the defect, it was a nice unit and was very convenient.
I have not found any information on any defects for the P.O.D. I would hate to think it could catch on fire sitting in my car of motorcycle saddlebag.
