**This article was created in partnership with GOOLOO, which provided compensation for the coverage.**

 

Keeping a jump starter and a tire inflator in your truck makes sense. Finding room for both, along with the rest of your gear, is where an all-in-one device gets interesting.

 

At SEMA 2026 in Las Vegas, [GOOLOO](<https://us.gooloo.com/>) and [VTOMAN](<https://vtoman.com/>) shared booth 11045 in the North Hall. The display included GOOLOO’s automotive tools and VTOMAN portable power equipment. One of the products on the counter was the [GOOLOO A9 Ultra](<https://us.gooloo.com/products/a9-ultra-jump-starter?utm_source=kol&utm_medium=PickupTruckTalk&utm_campaign=2026SEMA>), which combines jump starting, tire inflation, USB charging and emergency lighting.

 

I have prior experience with the GOOLOO GP4000 battery jump starter and GT150 tire inflator, and they work great. Mr. Wheelman Cory and I reviewed those two products in our [November 2024 video](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ9SCzbGbWo>).

 

The GP4000 and GT150 were separate tools, and they are different products from the A9 Ultra shown here. This closer look at the A9 Ultra is based on the SEMA display and its specifications, rather than a performance test of that model.

## A jump starter with an inflator built in

The A9 Ultra uses a wide, rectangular housing with a carry handle across the top. Its front panel has a large display and six separate physical buttons, including plus and minus controls, a mode selector and a light button. The jumper clamps connect through a separate cable.

 

The label on the back of the booth unit lists 6,000 amps of peak current, a 99.9-watt-hour battery and a maximum inflation pressure of 160 psi. Those are manufacturer ratings, not measurements from our visit.

 

GOOLOO says the inflator has preset modes and automatically stops at the selected pressure. For a truck owner, that combination is useful in principle: the same device intended to help with a discharged battery can also handle a tire-pressure top-up.

 

A maximum pressure rating does not tell you how quickly a compressor will fill a large truck tire. Tire size, starting pressure and the amount of air needed all matter. Buyers should check the unit’s vehicle compatibility and operating limits for their particular use.

 

## USB power for the rest of your gear

The A9 Ultra also has USB-A and USB-C connections. The booth unit’s label specifies USB-C input and output up to 100 watts and USB-A output at 5 volts and 2.4 amps.

 

That gives the USB-C port two jobs: recharging the A9 Ultra and powering compatible devices. GOOLOO also lists a built-in LED light with an SOS mode.

 

For road trips, having portable USB power alongside the jump starter is a practical addition. Just remember that charging other gear uses the same stored energy you may later want for roadside assistance. Keep the unit charged and follow its storage and maintenance instructions.

 

## There is a smaller option too

The [GOOLOO A3 Pro](<https://us.gooloo.com/products/a3-pro-jump-starter-with-air-compressor?utm_source=kol&utm_medium=PickupTruckTalk&utm_campaign=2026SEMA>) was also on the front counter. It uses a narrower, upright design. GOOLOO lists it with 3,000 amps of peak current and a 150-psi inflator.

 

Those different packages give shoppers something to compare beyond the headline amp rating. Consider where the device will fit, which vehicle it needs to support and how often you expect to use the inflator or USB charging.

 

## What truck owners should consider

The A9 Ultra’s appeal is straightforward: several useful roadside functions in one carryable unit. The handle, separate buttons and clearly labeled ports are easy to see in our booth photos.

 

Cold-weather starting, inflation speed on larger truck tires and performance after months of storage would need testing beyond a show-floor look. An emergency tool also does not fix an underlying battery, charging-system or tire problem.

 

At the time of writing, GOOLOO’s U.S. website lists the A9 Ultra at $199.99. Visit the [official A9 Ultra product page](<https://us.gooloo.com/products/a9-ultra-jump-starter?utm_source=kol&utm_medium=PickupTruckTalk&utm_campaign=2026SEMA>) for current pricing, availability and compatibility details.
