I rely on a 900A powerpack from supercheap to start a diesel cruiser ute and 70hp outboard.
I havent used it for myself yet, only on everyone elses vehicles and for camping, blackouts, etc.
It has started a V6 petrol motor in an old modified landcruiser.
I wouldnt get buy anything smaller than a 900A.

I have a 600 amp superclap item I use for the camp light and 12v shower. It wouldn't start a 4 cyl petrol motor let alone a diesel. Don't know about their 900 amp jobbie.

G'day GQ
I've had a Projecta for about 9 years, been a beauty.I run my versa lights and shower off it and have used it many times to start my boat and other peoples cars.I cant remember how many cranking amps it produces but has a 17 amphour battery.On special at Repco for about $99

I bought one of graysonline I dont know the technical details of it but it will start my deisel prado it also has a compressor and 3 outlets on it . I paid about $60 dollars for it aka

The Projecta brand "Jump Starter" are OK for the occasional emergency boost to a flat starting battery but be aware they only provide a maximum of about 475 CCA and would be unlikely to be good enough for a deisel, etc.
There is a difference in their rating of say "900 amps" and what their Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) or Amp Hour (Ah) output is.

They also have a capacity of around the 17 A/h mark which would be useless for anything other than running a couple of fluro lights, or similar low drain devices.

A "good" brand of Power Pack?
The "Blue Apple Thumper" if you can justify the cost.
Nothing else even comes close with up to 1200 Cold Cranking Amps of grunt to start the biggest of Deisel engines.

I have a projecta (original cost around $140) which I purchased 3 years ago. Its started my 6 cyl petrol jack when the battery went west. started my daughters car several times until she learnt where the light switch was, starts my sons car frequently (he's away 2 out of 3 weeks) and regularly runs my light when out camping. after 3 years I'm waiting for it to pack up and I'll go and get battery world to replace the batteries. More than happy with the unit

sand man is a smart a----s

The best power pack to jump start a 6cyl patrol ??

simple realy , a Toyota Landcruiser ,!!!!! LOL.

www.graysonline.com.au/ this is the site at the moment they have the power packs on again also some other 4wd stuff you have to bid but also check the postcode box as the delivery can sometimes be a bit pricey aka
