Jump starter

[Habib]

Just sadly looking at what the world has to offer and found a 400amp jump starter for £29. Could be worth keeping in the garage for emergencies if you dont use a battery conditioner.

You get free delivery if the order is over £30 so its worth ordering something else for 1p or so..

could be a lifesaver in these winter months. I leave my bonnet unlatched too, just in case the battery is so dead i cant get in the car to open the bonnet to access the battery

I have one, and it is a life saver !

BUT, it won't start the car if the battery is completely flat..... As long as there is still a bit of juice in the battery, the booster will work a treat, but if the batter is completely flat (i.e immobiliser not even flashing) then 400AMPS isn't enough to get the Cerb going.... You need 600-650 to fire it up....
