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.
