It’s been spot on,started a 540hp Volvo x3 times last week,it’ll start anything with a flat battery never missed yet.
I bought 1 yesterday Saturday at 4pm and it arrived at 1 pm today wish all deliveries were like that!
Keep us informed on its capabilities please as I’m tempted to buy one myself.
Your lucky, I tried ordering one numerous times, but they don't deliver it to NI.
Bought one on Black Friday and used it for the first time the other day. Combine battery dead as a do-do, no lights on dashboard and it started on first turnover. Impressed! They seem to work well. Hopefully last a good number of years too.
The cheap crappy ones will achieve that. Anything worse and they won't though.
they have very little amp hour, or watt hour capacity compared to even a cordless tool battery, so an extremely poor way to power an inverter, a poor way to power USB devices, but it works because USB is so little power. Easy to charge from the started vehicle if they come with the right plug. I've heard to not use them with less than half charge, or if sitting for a while to charge before use, one cell getting low and reversing polarity is what kills them mostly. Avoid that by not getting near empty, but also avoid leaving on the charger or at 100%.
