jump start pack batterys

:) Yep that's the same for those rechargeable drills etc. I went to buy a 15v battery for mine the other day and it was about $20 dearer than buying a new drill so I bought a new one LOL go figure huh

G'day Peter
I've also just bought one of the $39 ones from supacheap, haven't had a chance to use it yet, I just wanted it for running lights etc around the camp and at that price it was worth taking a chance on it.

Mate! thats life in the fast lane for you.

Mine cost approx $200 three years ago (900CCA)

Same thing in Super Thief the other day was $67.00

I just luv these Chinese cootas.

its a disposable world these days.

Just a word of warning with these back up systems. Dont carry 1 in your car for when ur miles away from nowhere without testing it under load before you leave home. Some of the battery's are faulty under load.

I carried mine with me on trips for 2 years, never had to use it though, one day at home , my other car battery died so i used it to jump start it, well the battery buggered up while under load.

My point here is, they are great to have, but test them out before you head off into the unknown, just so you know it will work under load.

I've had one for about 4 years. Used it to jump start a tractor a few times and regularly to start a ride on mower for about a year while I was too lousy to buy a new battery for the mower. I put it on charge occasionally when I think of it, but it holds charge surprisingly well.

Works great, and handy to have in the workshop, but not sure that I'd want to rely on it to start the 4B in the middle of nowhere.

make sure the jump-pack has sufficient grunt before you need it - particularly if you drive a diesel. Same goes for jumper leads - make sure they can carry sufficient current for diesels - mine couldn't, so I made up some 400-amp leads from jaycar supplies...
