A couple of weeks ago I (well, Bessie the blue Jazz) had a flat(ish) battery and didn't have enough oomph to turn over. It was my own fault, so not complaints just an annoyance.

Mr AA man came out and did a boost start after checking the battery was OK. All well and good. But how to cope if I do another ID 10 T mistake and flatten the battery again?



Its not a bad bit of kit. 18AH battery and all the odds and sods including an air compressor for £70. Works as described (well, I haven't needed to boost start the battery yet) and the case is neat enough to slide under one of the front seats. Its a 'just fits' fit. so it won't slide out and rattle around.

Its a handy bit of insurance I say.

 

Have a similar unit, works great, and is good insurance. Keeping it in the car however during the winter months is ill advised. The Lithium Ion battery does not retain the charge in cold temps. The unit is small enough I can keep it in my briefcase, and warm.

 

Good idea, though it doesn't get as cold here as it does in New York

 

Suaoki Jump Starter? I don't even know what that is, and I want one.


Looks like a great kit.
