Got a traxide kit already. It was more for helping others.

Quality jumper leads with an Anderson connection on one end...

Hi Rod and while I have not used one yet, just a suggestion, try to get one that has additional uses.

I have been doing a bit of research on these lithium start packs.

See if you get one that can also be use to run other devices and charge phones and cameras and so on.

Hi,
After a cold weekend camping, one the vehicles in our group failed to start.
Some one in the group had a jump starter thingy and was keen to use it in anger.
Perhaps it was too cold, or perhaps a week since last charge, but it wouldn't start the little Suzuki.
A pair of leads from an old Hilux did the trick though.
That little exercise did nothing to dispel my doubts about their real world usefulness.
Cheers

Seeing no one seems to want to answer the OPs actual question, these seem to have favourable reviews on other 4wd forums.

I have never used them so have no idea on how good they are but the reviews are pretty good.

We have a couple of these gizmo's and they will both start a diesel hilux from cold, Not only that they are fantastic as a phone charger as well
We haven't had to try them out on my Disco Yet

Thanks for the replies and comments, all of which I agree with. It was just a thought, but I'm thinking otherwise now. I reckon these devices might have a home in a car that has no other electrical stuff other than standard.
