From jumping a Can-Am multiple times in a week to charging my dead phone, all on one charge, the Uncharted Supply Zeus has a mythical status for me. You will love this device! A small device, easy to use interface, charging whatever you need, the Zeus has an ability to delivery electricity that would make Zeus proud.
The Zeus
It’s simple – you need a powerboat you can utilize for jumping vehicles and charging – and in an emergency, you have to know that what you will have will not Amazonfail. If you are looking for one piece of equipment to place in your vehicle for when you need it most – when it’s raining, in the parking lot after hours, and your vehicle won’t start – the Uncharted Supply Zeus is it.
The Uncharted Supply Zeus is a compact portable jump starter and power bank that delivers 1600 peak amps from a 20,000mAh lithium battery, capable of jump starting gas engines up to 8.0L and diesel engines up to 6.0L multiple times on a single charge. At roughly 7 inches long and weighing just over a pound, it takes up less space than traditional jumper cables while offering significantly more functionality including USB-C, USB-A, and 12V DC charging ports plus an integrated LED flashlight with emergency modes. The device excels at its primary mission of providing reliable emergency power, successfully charging phones up to 5 times, powering laptops, and running small power tools when needed. For me, I trust it, after months or use, it’s has been consistently reliable with built-in safety features protecting against reverse polarity and electrical surges, making it trustworthy for actual emergency use.
5F’s: It Deliverz
Form – 5
The Zeus has a clean, sleek appearance and in its bag – you would never know what it is. It’s about 7 inches long, 3 inches wide, and weighs about 1.5lbs. For me, it lives in my Can-Am store box, but it’s compact enough to store in a glove box or center console without taking up excessive space. The black rectangular design with subtle branding looks more like a premium tech device than ‘survival equipment’, but’s just me.
Fit – 5
This is where the Zeus excels – it fits perfectly into the role of compact emergency power solution. It fits anywhere. The size and weight make it practical for daily carry in vehicles. BUT, but, for charging your phone on a camping trip, or a roadtrip, it works – I’ve used it multiple times just to charge up a phone, headphones, a flashlight while out on the trails. The form factor is ideal for its intended purpose.
Function – 5
With Delivers up to 1,500 peak amps, the claims is, that it’s suitable for gas engines up to 8.0L and diesel engines up to 6.0L. Can confirm – on one charge, and in one unlucky week, I’ve jumped the Can-Am twice (post-winter battery) and my Land Cruiser. At one point, I needed to use an electric drill in the yard, did not want to deal with an extension cord, so I hooked up and adapter and yes, it ran an electric drill. You can already charge your iPhone from zero to 100% 5 times – or mix and match between your phone and your vehicle. With USB-C, USB-A, and 12V DC outputs, and an emergency flashlight, you have many options on charging with the Zeus. Christian and the team really did it right with this thing.
Field Performance – 5
The fact it will jump the Can-Am twice, the Land Cruiser, and still have a phone battery charge in it is enough for me to say that it passes on Field Performance. I trust it. I mean, you can have 3 different tools for 3 different jobs, or 1 tool, 10 jobs. Additionally, it has small uses, like the integrated safety features providing protection against reverse polarity and electrical surges, which is crucial for field use. This is critical when you have an unidentified positive/negative terminal and you just don’t know – with the Uncharted Supply Zeus, you’re going to know.
Financial Investment – 5
At approximately $169 (often available for less), the Uncharted Supply Zeus represents solid value in the portable jump starter / multi-function power brick market. There are so many different kind of concepts on the internet, on Amazon, it’s hard to know if you’re going to actually be glad you bought something when you can find an alternative for much cheaper. So, here is the difference – you can buy once, cry once with the Zeus (and it’s tiny little tears, not ugly crying), or you can prepare to try to send what you bought back to Amazon in 6 months when it won’t hold a charge…after you’ve been stranded. When it comes to Financial Investment, the actually company matters and I trust the team at Uncharted to get you taken care of, versus someone on the phone at the Amazon call center.
The Zeus succeeds because it focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well – providing reliable emergency power in a compact, user-friendly package that actually delivers on its promises when you need it most.
So, for that, it’s 5F’s.
