Reminder: Check Tyre Inflators & Jump Packs

[mwstewart]

I keep a starter/inflator device in my cars which I hadn't kept check on for some time. I found that the battery in one pack had swollen significantly and was an imminent fire hazard.

I've put a dairy reminder to check every month together with levels and tyre pressures.

Butter to be safe than sorry.

Butter is definitely better than margarine.

You wouldn't want to end up with egg on your face.

A simple typo, stop milking it!

The op must be getting cheesed off by typos.

Reputable brand or XYXYOOOGG Amazon/Aliexpress one?

This is a common problem when batteries age and degrade, happens a lot with burglar, fire and car alarm batteries.

I charge all the power packs, torches and tyre inflators on the 1st of each month to keep them in tip top condition.

Generic, Amazon, July 2020, so did pretty well.

Yes I became quite complacent with mine. Shall start to check (and charge) monthly from now on.
