Jump Starter Power Banks

Bought my son inlaw one at a caravan show for $150 worked great until he used it to jump start his 3.0 litre navara the battery swelled up and now no go I think you have to remove them fairly fast after starting as the dont like the alternater voltage Although I still think they are worth having

I have one in my Navara and also have one at work. Will jump start a V8 Landcruiser no worries. Not designed for constant cranking but will start a flat battery no worries.

I was a total sceptic until I saw one in use on a small sedan (petrol)

I purchased one from Repco to keep in the "town car" just in case. So far I have used it twice in the city for a Jeep and a small petrol sedan............worked a treat

At home I have used it on the 3L diesel Hilux..........worked perectly..as for a V8 I think it might do so even though they say not suitable for a large V8.....

based on how easily it turned the above over I reckon you could a start out of it on a biggish motor subject to the ambient and the battery condition on the flat car

The comment about the battery blowing out etc. on another poster answering your post may relate to the fact that it states very clearly and in BOLD type...to disconnect within 15 or 20 secs I think it is to avoid damage............so my vote is a yes

I've purchased & used one as well. Dead flat 4 cylinder engine, 1st hit.
what I like about it is,
1. Low self discharge, long shelf life.
2. Small size & light weight, fit in glovebox or under seat.
3. Quick recharge time.
4. Ability to use a phone charger.
5. Torch function as well.
