Portable Jump Starters

Howdy,

I just bought a new Projector 2000A 44ah jumpstarter off Ebay for $370.

Last Saturday the same thing was in Conventrys for almost $1000.

Cheers
Alan

I have a projecta, only a small one of 17AH that I brought simply for recharging my camera and phone battery. One day though I had a flat battery on my Landcruiser and thought I would try it out and it started it with ease.
I am convinced now that even the cheapies are a very handy accessory.

Why not buy a 60ah battery,
put it into a $25 battery box
you will have change in your pocket

A battery of 60ah is a battery of 60ah
only the name changes and you have to pay for a few extra bells an whistles.

Wilco318,

what usage pattern do you have in mind for your jump starter?

Occasional jump starting only, or everyday cyclic use?

The answer to this question will determine the all important charging method.

Best regards, Peter

Where in the country are you?

I have just bought an ARK Powerpack from BCF on special for $139 and dropped my Cruisers old cranking battery in it, and when it packs it in, I can drop a deep cycle one it it. Charge it at home or as we are driving via the 12 volt plug.

Thank you to all that have replied and left there opinions. I have purchased a 44 amp hr projecta jump starter off ebay for $325 inc post. I must also say the Ark battery box looks good but its not quite what I was looking for.
