I have 2 of em. One of em now has a duff battery but I can't complain cos it is summit like 8 years old. I know of people that have killed the batteries on em by clamping them onto the battery of a running car to charge em.

That's what eventually killed mine. I had a flooded BMW in tiny lane and around some tight bends. it was nose up against a wall so I couldn't open the bonnet and had to start it purely by jumping.

I had to flatten and re-charge my jump pack 2 or 3 times to get it going. I get a nasty feeling I may have warmed the gel up a bit.

the power pack charge unit on mine gave about 3 years ago , i charge mine up from a battery charger or the fag lighter in the disco , made up a lead , as long as the wires go to same place on the plugs it will work fine .

my previous one was poor ,but the new one is great ,surprising what power it holds,suppose fast charging isnt to good for any battery
