    We’ve tested them in industrial environments and they are hit and miss - very much so...

    If you don’t get a kick first go they’re often done and dusted...

    If you don’t like my suggestion feel free to scroll on by - I’ve helped many people on this forum, so a bit of short, sharp, reality isn’t always a bad thing...

    If you want fluffy responses - get a dog/cat... Jump starter

    If you want recommendations for potentially hazardous Battery packs from China - I don’t have any... some don’t have safety charging circuits (Samsung Galaxy anyone) and others don’t meet their ratings...

    And the fact they should remain on charge to maintain effectiveness precludes much of the convenience where as a simple 2nd battery has multitudes of uses and far more dependable... throw in a set of leads with an Anderson connection on one end and you’re very well equipped....

    Every gadget adds weight!!!

    I had absolutely NO faith in the small jump start devices But the Missus wanted one and I got one for her birthday for her as she had the occasional problem with a flat battery in her D4D Hilux.To my utmost surprise the silly looking little thing had absolutely No problem starting the 4 cylinder diesel in her truck one morning
    I have since fitted a new battery in her Hilux so she hasn't had to use it for her truck any more But it has been used on several occasions jumpstarting the kids cars and the ride on mower as well.
    Like any other jump start device the charge has to be maintained in it and these small devices are actually pretty bloody good and can not only jump start your engine they can be used to charge up your phone/camera and even your laptop and they are a fraction of the weight and size of the older style battery packs that you and I have.
    Yes they look like good gear and once my current jumper pack decides to drop it's bundle I will go for one.
    What is their life expectancy?

    Cheers, Mick.

    The Missus has had hers for a couple of years now and it is still going strong, I paid about $80 for it at Bunnings.

    I bought this Projecta a year ago and it has been very useful. They come in several sizes too.
