Collection: Battery Jump Starters

While portable battery chargers are really useful if you have some time to spare, sometimes you need to get moving much more rapidly. A jump starter battery booster is what you – or a fellow motorist you spot stuck at the roadside – need in a tight spot as it delivers a sudden jolt of electricity to kick-start your battery. Once you’re back up-and-running, your engine will charge the battery further.

Most jump starters are highly portable The smaller jump starters can be stashed away in your car boot or even in your glove compartment, so as long as yours is fully-charged, you’re good to go, no matter what. 

 You can charge lights, laptops and other mobile devices with your jump starter Most modern jump starters have USB ports, so you can charge up your phones and other devices, with a mini USB socket used for charging your jump starter up once it’s been used. The larger jump starters might even have plug sockets so you can plug in a vacuum cleaner or a jet washer without dragging an extension lead out from your house. As you might imagine, these jump starters need to be charged via a wall plug.

The GYS Gyspack Pro 025523 weighs 9kg but delivers 1750A peak and can jump start larger vehicles like camper vans and commercial vans.

You should look out for a jump starter with an integral torch The thing about flat batteries is that they don’t always happen during daylight hours. It’s a good job, then, that lots of jump starters feature at least one torch to help you to see what you’re doing.
