Rally 7471 Portable 8 in 1 Power Source and Jumpstart Unit with Hand Generator

• Jumpstart any 12 volt battery quickly and safely
• Emergency hand generator charges battery
• 140 watt inverter operates a variety of household products
• USB power source to operate and recharge portable electronic devices
• 260 PSI air compressor for high pressure inflation of tires and more

Just received the Rally 7471 in the mail today, it is charging as we speak. First impressions of this is a great American product. I can't believe no one else has already thought of this. The packaging was great, the instructions are very clearly written and easy to understand. I purchased this to be able to use while camping / documentary out in nature. The pros for me with this product is the portability (light weight), power inverter for charging laptops and camera gear, and the ability to hand charge the whole unit when not near outlets or vehicle.

The manual says that after pulling the charging handle for approx. 3 mins there will be enough power to jump start a vehicle battery, and that powering a laptop will last around an hour and a half. I am going to take it through it's paces and update this review.

Thanks alot Rally!

***UPDATE***

actually got around to testing the unit out downgraded my initial 5 stars to 3 stars, and here's why. After fully charging I plugged in my laptop and watched a movie. The laptop draws at max 60 watts, the battery lasted about an hour and a half (what the manual says). The recharge from the wall outlet takes about 26 hours (has red, amber and green color changing LED for battery status). After draining I used the pull handle, pulls like a normal gasoline lawnmower engine. The manuals says that after pulling for 3 mins there will be enough power to jump start your car battery. I don't know about that, but it ran my laptop for another 5 mins.

Pretty weak battery performance, but overall good little product, light weight and has all the accessories.

Decided to pick this up based on the positive reviews (which I suspect could be from company employees, perhaps). I charged the unit for 48 hours continuously. Then, I plugged in my laptop and used it as normal. This draws between just 40-50 watts using my watt meter. At the 45 minute mark, the unit was dead. The packaging estimated 1hr and 6 minutes of run time with a 90 watt draw, which is twice the wattage that I consumed. So, I figured that I'll just go ahead and see how much juice I get out of pull starting it for 3 minutes, and do another run test.

Well, on the second pull, the pull cord became fully extended and will not return back to it's retracted position. I couldn't help but notice on the bottom where it says MADE IN CHINA. Well, that explains that. Hopefully I can return this piece of junk for a refund.

I am disappointed. I used the hand generator , and the cord came out , and now refuses to go back in position. If any of you are trilled about the hand generator feature, well it is a gimmick, I should have taken the owners reviews into consideration. I hope i can get a refund. Stay clear of that product people.

Want Rally 7471 Portable 8 in 1 Power Source and Jumpstart Unit with Hand Generator Discount?

I just received this unit today. It is charging as I type. I like the hand generator feature and that's the main reason I bought this Unit. I don't expect too much from this power pack since it's only 140 watt inverter. I have a 600 watt inverter power pack from MotoMaster Eiminator. It works good but no hand generator. Will update this review if there's any problem or something worth mentioning.

EDIT: The Rally powered my 7" portable TV for 5 1/2 hours.

I want to second what others have said. The unit looks great, but it doesn't hold much of a charge. It might be fine for jumps and pumps, but as an AC power source, it's very poor. I charged the unit fully (24 hours) and ran a laptop off it that pulls about 60 watts. As others have reported, I was able to run the laptop for about an hour before the Rally ran out of juice.

If you want it only for an emergency jump/pump or two, I'm sure it's fine. Also for *briefly* powering an AC device that has no batteries.

As a backup for a laptop (or any device that has batteries) it's terrible: you'll get far more juice out of a spare battery for a tiny fraction of the weight.
