Meh. USB Power ONLY.

Power Station USUALLY means w/Inverter, for AC Power.

It does 12v in addition to USB. If you don't want to call it a power station, what should it be called instead?

It "technically" does 12v BUT only in the most "useless" way, as far as I can tell....

"Heated-jacket compatible port – allows 12V use with Bosch heated jackets"

To ME, 12v DC means I can plug a cigarette lighter in, to get power. From everything I can tell from this, its not possible (out of the box). There may be some extra add-on/$$$ adapter for that, but that's not part of the cost of this....

12v barrel plugs are actually pretty common and you could even get a cable with a cigarette lighter on it if needed.

Could you image the size of this thing if it had both the 110v AC and 12v cigarette lighter options that you seem to require built into it?

Irregardless, this is clearly not the Bosch accessory for you. However, for those who want to charge/power their 5v or 12v electronics off of their 18v Bosch batteries, under $18 for this small little compact portable device looks like a pretty good deal.

CONFIRMED, from the manual online.... The 12V is useless for "power". Its only for Bosch heated jackets:

"heated jacket heatingelement power cable to the heatingelement power port of the batterycontroller. Connecting any other device may create a risk of fire or personal injury.1.Plug the heating element power cab"

In other words, don't plug something in that will draw more power than it is designed for.

I know about the barrel plugs. My LioN Jumpstarter has one, w/Cig Lighter adapter.

Are there any CONFIRMED plugs that work with this? The included manual says:

"heated jacket heatingelement power cable to the heatingelement power port of the batterycontroller. Connecting any other device may create a risk of fire or personal injury.1.Plug the heating element power cab"

Agree here. These are stupid devices. At least have a flashlight or something to make it more useful.

This is very old technology.

If you are trying to charge a modern cell phone that is more likely requiring USB 3 & USB C or better for fast charging I would not try it with this.

I had a bunch of standard USB wall receptacles at home installed by an electrician 6 years ago. None of them are useful anymore with today's phones and tablets.

'Irregardless' isn't actually a word. Just a heads up.

I'm 100% sure that you actually meant 'regardless'. And yes, you're welcome. 👍

My use of that word was correct, intentional, and totally appropriate for this venue, however your attempt to correct my grammar in an internet forum discussion about tools is not.
