I have a £40 Maplin booster pack. It's pretty much unbranded but was cheap enough at the time. Must be 4 years old now. | |

So engine start didn't quite cut it straight away. But i stuck it on fast charge for 3 mins, then engine start and away we go :D | |

Yeah there are very few jump packs this side of £500 that will jump a car from dead :D most you need to leave connected for a minute or so. | |

I can't really see that it won't, biggest issue I would think is the ability of the clips to provide the current. | |

I'm after a charger with engine start next. Jump packs are OK until they let you down, I've got three in the workshop and they're all fairly unreliably now after 12 months or so. | |

I try to drive it often, I usually get out in it twice a week, just the last couple of weeks I haven't had time to drive it (mainly because I have been spending my time building a toy) :o | |

Wouldn't you be best hooking up a trickle charger? | |

Need one for the Defender, large battery too so needs to be suitable, normal jump start packs don't work on it. |
