these are a great idea at the time but you end up forgetting about them until you need them and by that time they have run out of charge!!!!!
but still a good price if you are after one, so heat added

Charge time to charge internal battery upto 36 hours.

wow mine only takes 14 hours, so the book says. Definitely come in handy, even if your car is a little over the max specified engine size leaving the booster connected to the battery for a while should put enough charge in it to get it going. I would be lost without mine

Good deal for this sort of thing + convenience.

Although I find a spare battery and a set of jump leads is a more reliable alternative if you have a trickle charger

Have a a Look at Maplin, They Do a B Stcok one for about £23.00 quid Bought one last week its great and it also has a Air Compressor which is great at pumping at Tyres etc and also has work lights !!

IMPT you must charge them once a month or the battery will not hold charge and they become useless !!!!

reserved one of these at Ayr, but wife can;t pick it up, if someone wants it p.m me, and I'll p.m them back with the reservation number.

28th Mar 2011

these need to be charged every single day or they break, pointless unless u are always in your garage or in a mobile home.

ask your rac man nex time

I bought mine new on 14 May 2010. Didin't need to use it, but pu it on charge for 36 hours. six months later the battery in the starter was "dead", and will no longer hold a charge. regrettably only found the receipt I paid for it on 14 May 2011. So I guess it's out of "guarantee" (assuming it had one initially)
