A friend has one similar to that actually. I have used it 3 times. Does as it claims without any issues.
She keeps it in her car in the event she runs the battery flat.
When i used it, it was able to crank a 1/2 dead battery instantly.

How long does it take to charge up from the flat battery?

John Cadogen has just done a YouTube review on his AutoExpert channel.

Regrettably, he didn't show it starting a car.

I won't link the YT page as he has a tendency to use bad language (verboten on here).

Yeah Ron his youtube review is where I first saw the ozcharge.I pulled the trigger and ordered one which arrived this arvo .Put it on charge with the cig lighter plug and the 5 minute charge claimed turned into about 40 minutes.They do have a disclaimer on the charge time but an extra 35 minutes [bigsad] Any way our old 6cyl diesel Toyota forklift when cold needs a shot of ether so thought would be a good test,up and running no ether so quite impressed:thumbsup:.Test in the morning 4.7 Isuzu without a battery but as the Isuzu starts like a fight I expect it will go well
