With 600W inverters on both units and capacities ranging from 299Wh to 499Wh (expandable on each), VTOMAN’s FlashSpeed 600 and Jump 600X cover two very different use cases. One leans into ultra‑fast AC charging, the other adds a full automotive jump‑starter port to the mix. Together, they show how much capability you can squeeze out of compact wattage.
