    Portable Starter Batteries - Requirements for a Puma engine

    Morning all

    I'm looking to get hold of a portable jump start battery for the 'just in case' scenario when I'm on my own and my cranking battery is flat.

    There seem to be a few out there. Does anyone know what spec of starter would be required to start a Puma 2.4 TDCi engine?

    400A sufficient or do I need more?
    Any particular Amp Hours specification? I find electronics so confusing, even after years of tinkering.

    Appreciate your opinions as always.
    Bobby

    Following!
    After having trouble yesterday with a flat battery I'm now looking also!

    Are you after a old school type or one of those newer slim portable power units??

    This type SCA 12V Jump Starter - 6 Cylinder - Supercheap Auto

    Or this type Batteries & Accessories - Jump Starters - Matson - MA9000 | Blackwoods Xpress

    Cheers Lemo

    It's got to be slim, Lemo. I have no room left in Monty for anything bulky!

    Look to be a good unit and #1 out of a ten review I just read. Top 10: What is The Best Lithium Jump Starter

    Anyone used one?

    I bought one of these. They come in several sizes. Also very handy for recharging phones. Very compact and easy to use.

    Spoke to a couple of mates and Lemo's NOCO - 1000A Lithium Jump Starter - GB40 is the go, so I ordered one. Arrives Friday.

    I'm pretty chuffed with this - I can take out the HD Jump Leads I've got and put this in their place which might even leave me with a small but valuable piece of real estate in the tools cabinet I have on board. Doubtless I shall find something to fill it.

    Thanks for your help. Brilliant as always.

    The span on the leads is 23". Haven't measured the battery,must be close. Otherwise looks good value and it'llfit in the glove box.

    I have one of those little lithium tyres I picked up in Jaycar. It kicked over a Volvo XC60 no problem.

    But out I am now looking at an Arkpak battery pack so it can run my fridge.
