FAQs
What is the typical charging time for the Air Box?

The charging duration varies depending on the socket adaptor used, ranging from 2 to 6 hours. For optimal charging performance, we recommend using a 30w adaptor and a USB-C double-ended cable. It's important to note that using a USB-C to USB-A cable may extend the charging time.

Can the Air Box be overcharged?

No, it cannot. The intelligent battery design ensures that the device stops accepting a charge once it reaches full capacity. However, we advise against leaving the Air Box plugged in for more than 24 hours.

Is it possible to partially charge the batteries and still use the Air Box?

Yes, you can partially charge the Air Box in situations where the pump runs out of power, or you forget to charge it after the batteries have been depleted. This partial charge will allow you to inflate your sports equipment without harming the batteries.

How long can the Air Box be stored without recharging or damaging the batteries?

The Air Box can retain its charge for up to 12 months with minimal depletion and no adverse effects on the batteries. However, as a best practice, we recommend recharging the Air Box every 6 to 8 months.

Is it possible to bring the Air Box onto an airplane?

Yes, you can, but it must be placed in your carry-on baggage, in compliance with international regulations regarding lithium-ion batteries.

How many kites, wings, or SUPs can the Air Box inflate on a single charge?

On average, the Air Box can inflate 6 to 8 kites, based on a 9m kite size, 6 to 8 wings, based on a 5m wing size, and 2 to 4 SUPs, depending on the dimensions of the inflatable SUP or wing board.

Is the Air Box waterproof?

No, it is not. While the protective shock sleeve offers some resistance to moisture, the Air Box is not designed to be waterproof.

Is it possible for sand to enter the intake?

Yes, it is possible. However, following the best practice of positioning the intake in the downwind direction or placing it on top of your sports equipment can help prevent sand or debris from entering the intake port.

Easy to get use to an power pump

We have had this for a full season. With two of us using the pump each time, and some times four times a day as we change wings.

Nice to hook it up, change, get gear ready, and wing is set accurately. We pump up one pound over recommended.

Positives:
Pumps up to right pressure
Will do five to six, 5.0 - 6.0 meter wings before running out
Easy to change end fittings
Packs away small

Negative:
The small LED screen has bar and psi, make sure you are psi
4-6 hours minimum to wall charge when down to one of five bars
Loud

I think they can come out with a second version and make it even better.

Once you have one it is hard to go back to hand pumps.

Not just for lazy kiters

Ok, full disclosure ; I thought this was for kiters too lazy to pump up. After using this airbox, I’ll never go back to hand pumping! Not only is it a huge time saver, and convenience, but it makes it so easy to change kite sizes mid session. It pumps your kite as you lay your lines and gets you in the water faster. But for me, the biggest advantage is the exact contro over the psi. This takes all the guess work out of pumping up and goes to whatever psi you set it to. I’ve found that before using this my kites were often under-inflated. Now my kite is pumped up to manufacture spec and flys better than ever. Only downside is all your friends will want to use this instead of hand pumping!

I will never use a pump again!

This will change your life and make you want to pump up all your wings or kites when you get to the beach! I set it and forget it so I can spend more time building my foil to wing or setting up my bar and lines simultaneously. It fits easily a glove box and I carry my on the jetski while coaching for quick wing changes without having to go back in. I prefer using this to a standard pump or an air compressor bc it will shut off automatically to the preset PSI/bar. Hopefully they will make it waterproof on the next design!

Best thing since sliced bread

By far the greatest advancement in the kiting industry. Accurately and effortlessly get your kite properly inflated to designer specifications so that it performs as best as it can! Saves my back when inflating larger kites and lots of kites. Great battery life!! Love this tool! Will gain more trust in it with time and start to leave my pump at home on expeditions. Have had 0 issues over the last 3 months using the airbox. P

No more pumping

This is a game changer. Long battery life, exact amount of pressure, and saving your back are just a few features that make this device a stand out. I pump a lot of kites/wings off of boats and jet skis and this allows you to just sit down while pumping instead of trying to balance in rough sees standing over a traditional pump.
