Then you neglect the device on the garage shelf for months, come to use it and the battery has flattened itself.......

That's the one further up the thread but w/o the compressor. They're all made by the same manufacturer but then branded differently. Don't pay that money, look around and pick 'em up for

actually, when you look at them on e-bay, they all look the same, just different sticker on them, mmmmmmmm, good point.

 

i think i will get one off e-bay, will just have to keep an eye out for a good one, that has a built in compressor, and a light, oh, and a 12v outlet (but they all seem to have that lol)

 

Thanks everyone

Be careful when buying jump leads. Make sure you get the biggest ones (ie largest diameter) you can find. Smaller diameter cables heat up and increase resistance, thereby limiting starting current.

 

My advice to you would be to make your own.

 

Go to your local welding supplies store and buy a few meteres of heavy duty welding cable and some good strong clamps. Welding cable will be black but you can put red tape on each end of the postive lead so you don't get them mixed up.

 

Cheap too and they will last you a lifetime (unless the missus throws them out again :huh:
