    super light/small jump starter/ power pack

    I was talking to a mechanic today. he showed me one of these;

    http://www.clalighting.com.au/Produc...%20CHARGER.pdf

    He didn't get it from the above link, I just found that example on the web.
    What amazed me was the weight of the thing. It's about the size of a slightly long cigarette packet, but it's so light, and he said he'd started a 6 cyl Volvo that wouldn't even light up it's dashboard!!, and then he restarted it another 3 times. I don't think it would start a diesel, but would be a great backup power source for phone, laptop etc

    The bloke that works for me bought one, cost $120 as Tombie said. I don't think he has had to use it yet. He just wants the peace of mind on car club runs (1963 Daimler 250 V8 and MG.

    Think I read somewhere that they can also be used as a defibrillator in an emergency situation.

    Clip one lead to each nipple .................................

    Don't know if it matters if you get positive and negative in the right order or not.

    And if your heart starts running in reverse - I'm not even going to try to imagine the impact that might have on your bedroom activities.

    I've been looking at these for a while, not so much as a jump starter but as a pocket USB charger. Jump starting is certainly justification for purchase and a great bonus. I can get the Monster (MOP-12) unit in Australia, and sell for about $165 inc delivery ... If EBay item ex Hong Kong at $100 inc postage, probably just as useful, and save $65 too! I have asked one of the suppliers for a 'bulk' price, so see what I get offered.
