What portable power pack?

[BFG TERRANO]

As title! Going to buy one but which? Ideally kept charging in the car for jump starts when needed etc. A compressor and light are also handy. Halfrauds have one with a 240v invertor also which would be handy. Don't mind spending a bit for a good one. So, any experience or recommended makes/models?

I have had and used a Clarke's for over ten years! And it started a bus with flat batteries (connected to one of the bus's two 12 volt batteries) a few months ago.

I reckon the key to a long life is to keep them charged and remove them from vehicle immediately it starts.

Yep, Clarke Jump Start 4000 is a lovely bit of kit.

Maplins do a good one for under £80 at sale prices.

It was effortless to jump start my 2.0 Diesel, and the tyre pump is very good also.
