Battery Booster packs

[Vixpy1]

No, of coarse I don't need one of those, when i have'nt driven the tvr for a while i just jump it off the bmw. no point spending the money is there...

except i'm now waiting for the aa because the bmw is in for a service and i've got nothing to jump the chim off..



Idiot!

Wanna buy mine?

In short succession I bought a Halfwits charger/maintainer as the battery was too low for the Accumate to get a charge in. That didnt work so I went out and bought and charged up a battery booster pack...still didnt feckin work so I went out and bought a new battery for the Cerb.

Everything works fine again and is connected to the Accumate.

So I now have a hardly used battery charger and a never used battery booster pack

I love these cars

I might have to buy another, had one just like this before and it was great but think I let it get too low on charge and then couldn't get the fecker to recharge. Was great when it worked and prolly just my fault for letting it get too low and leaving it for too long with no juice in it.

I've got a battery booster .... its been f###kin useless on the Tiv.... I've jump started Land Rovers with it but not the Tiv. Infact the Tiv seems to fry batteries dead so they will not even recharge 3rd battery in 6 months now.

obviously something wrong somewhere

I've been warned against using booster packs, especially the heavy duty ones used by the vehicle recovery brigade. Apparently they can fry your ECU.

Don't worry, even if you actually have a booster pack chances are that like me, you won't have put it on charge ready for that critical moment!
