About this product
A flat battery should not end your day.
A portable jump starter you keep in the boot, so you can start the car yourself instead of waiting for someone with jump leads.
A flat battery almost never happens at a convenient moment. It happens in a car park in the dark, or on a driveway when you are already late.
A portable jump starter removes the part of that problem that depends on other people. You do not need a second car, and you do not need to find someone willing to lend you jump leads.
It lives in the boot on a charge. When the car will not turn over, you connect the clamps, start the engine, and drive.
Keep it topped up. A jump starter that has sat flat in the boot for two years is no more use than no jump starter at all.
The case for carrying one is simple. Every other fix for a flat battery needs a stranger: another car, another set of leads, or a recovery service with a two hour wait. A jump starter is the one that only needs you.
Connect the clamps to the battery terminals the same way you would with jump leads, red to positive and black to negative, then start the engine. Once the car is running, take the clamps off and let the alternator do its job.
The habit that matters is charging it. Lithium packs hold their charge well but not forever, so top it up a few times a year and check it before a long trip. A dead jump starter is dead weight.
It is worth knowing what a flat battery is telling you. If the car goes flat again within a few days, the battery is likely at the end of its life or something is draining it, and a jump starter is getting you to the garage rather than fixing the fault.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

The complete guide
Choosing and using a jump starter
4 min readOnline Auto Company
Why carry one
A flat battery is the most common reason a car will not start, and it is also the easiest to fix at the roadside. The catch is that the traditional fix needs a second vehicle and a willing driver.
A portable jump starter takes that dependency away. It is a battery pack with clamps, stored in your boot, that gives the starter motor the current it needs.
How to use it safely
Turn the ignition off before you connect anything.
Connect the red clamp to the positive terminal on the car battery, then the black clamp to the negative terminal. Check your handbook if you are not sure which is which, because getting it the wrong way round can damage the electronics.
Start the engine, then remove the clamps in reverse order. Let the car run so the alternator can put charge back into the battery.
Keeping it ready
The most common complaint about jump starters is that they were flat when needed. That is a storage problem rather than a product problem.
Charge it when you buy it, then top it up a few times a year. Before a long journey or a cold snap, check it.
When a jump start is not the answer
A jump start gets the engine running. It does not repair a battery that has failed or find a fault that is draining it overnight.
If you need to jump the car more than once in a week, book it in. You are treating a symptom.
Very cold weather makes a weak battery look worse than it is, so a battery that struggles every winter morning is usually a battery near the end of its life.
Portable car jump starter for 12V vehicles, supplied with jump clamps and a charging lead. Kept charged in the boot, it starts a car with a flat battery without needing a second vehicle or jump leads. Connect red to positive and black to negative with the ignition off, start the engine, then remove the clamps and let the alternator recharge the battery. Recharge the pack every few months so it is ready. A jump start does not repair a failing battery or a parasitic drain; repeated flat batteries need a garage.
