Hi all,
Just curious this morning. Does anyone know of a way to start an Auto with a flat battery, without the use of jumper leads, battery pack etc. Is there a way to push start them etc? Just interested! ;-)
Cheers
Scoey!

Hence why I have 3 batteries! ;-)
If you were really stuck, boil the billy and poor it over the battery to warm it up, make sure EVERYTHING is off (fans, stereo etc), cross your fingers, hold your nose right and try again.

LOL! I just tested that theory the other day, I reckon I'm going to try it next trip. I measured 4 amps running the leccy blanket off the inverter. I seriously reckon that'd keep the chill from comming up through the air mattress. :-)
We have such a space shortage when we go away and I think I might be able to cut down on some blankets and crap if we use the leccy one.
