Title: Jump Start Packs ?
Post by: Juliand on February 10, 2023, 04:23:49 pm

Anyone recommendations on these, please?

My son's car often stands for weeks without being used, as he works from home and lives in town.... We put a new battery on before Xmas, but it is obviously nor being charged up enough, and it has been very cold. It's a pain putting it on charge, and because of where he parks, it's not always easy to get access for a jump from another car, so I have been thinking about getting him a jump starter pack.

Can these tiny devices really do the job?

Many thanks

Not cheap but these Noco are meant to be good, no personal experience of them but friends were chatting about them recently.
