I'm looking at these smaller ones at 615grams, not 5kg like your's, that photo is a bit misleading and not much lighter than the large Projecta jump starter I already have, but I must say they having up to 1200CCA is impressive, I might investigate these further, there must be a smaller one.

I can believe in the battery - but I'm buggered if I can see how you can pull a whole bunch of current through the weedy little wires to the clamps...Quote:

This one lives in the pouch in the back rest of the passenger's seat in my D4 Baz. Bought it some time ago on special at one of those 4WD and Camping Shows.

I've never had to use it on the D4, but it has worked OK on the couple of occasions that I've used it on the D2 and a mate's Navara. The battery in the car that you're "jumping" still needs to have a reasonable amount of charge - I wouldn't think that this thing would start a car with a dead flat battery (though the manufacturers claim otherwise). ;)
I've found the best thing about is the range of adaptors / plugs that came with it. I've used it many times to charge phones / cameras / my portable wireless hot spot etc. You can re-charge it either from mains power or from the cigarette lighter socket in your car.
Has come in very handy on more than one camping trip. :D
That's spot on BM... If the vehicle is flat - these things don't have a chance!
Even the pack I have will only just push a dead (and I mean dead) TD5 over..
there are youtubes vids where they start a car with the battery removed.Quote:

It'll start a 4.6 when the battery is at 9v with no trouble at all.
The motor did snap start though, and I wonder how much winding time it would have given me, let alone a diesel with glow plugs. .
However I've only used it the once.

Petrols aren't as bad - lower compression...
