Battery Booster

Post by Pedro » Fri Sep 05, 2008 3:25 pm

Hey Guys,

Any recomendations on make/model or type of Battery Booster I should buy..? I hear that some can damage the ECU if not careful with the right type.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,
Pete :D

A battery optimiser would be better for the battery long term . Optimate is good .

Better still, learn how to disconnect the battery and disconnect it when you're planning on leaving the car for a while ...

Thanks Guys,

Agree with both answers, however I am just looking for something to jump start the battery as required for those moments when I just need to boost the battery to get running.

Is this any good http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=145836

When I was up in Strontian this weekend I borrowed a chaps booster pack which also doubled as a portable tyre inflator type thing too. Pretty weak that all I can say was it was yellow.
