I would take the advertising with a grain of salt. I have seen them running lights and starting cars when fully charged, but shouldn,t be rellied on .What brand are they? I am looking forward to seeing you and the famous vehicle. Bill

Hi Bill. The first time I ever heard of these jump start thingees was at Greens Lake. Pricey43 had one bought from Aldi, with all the same as this one in latest catalogue. They paid about 50.00 for it. They showed me how it worked and I was sold. I ended up getting one from Big W as Aldi didn't have one at the time. I can't guarantee this one or any other brand, its up to others if they want to buy one.
When do you think you will arrive in Victoria?? Looking forward to meeting you too.

I have the "1900 amp" (note the use of "quotes" around "1900 amp"!) from Super Cheap. It's the purple coloured one. I have used it twice now to successfully jump start my diesel Pajero. I have also used it to supplement my auxiliary battery, which due to space limitations is only 50 ah, to run my Bushman fridge. The ah capacity is quoted as 38ah which I haven't tested but have found that be realistic.

What happens when these things run right down, as in the battery being flat. My son has had mine upstairs playing around with the Navman plugged into it. Left the navman plugged in without having it connected to the power, it is now flat. I have plugged it back into the power but it is not acknowledging that it is being charged. The gauge should swing up to the charging bit. Never let you kids play with your stuff no matter how old they are.

Seems to be charging ok, has come up to just over 13 since I put it on power.

They take a while to charge off the plugpak, should be ok to leave on charge (if it's similar to mine, a 1900 amp(?) job from Supercheap). I've used mine a couple of times "in anger" to start the Pajero (diesel) successfully. Also as a backup to the car's aux battery for my Bushman fridge.
