Lidl Charger/Jumper

I have one for work cannot remember the brand, started a 2.5ltr gas fork lift with it ok.
 
The Chinese stuff on ebay will claim a million Ah, but clearly isn't. Especially when you feel how heavy it is. Still might help though. I've only used mine on a 1.9 diesel, that without it was doing the rah, rah, flash the indicators and all the lights on the dash but not start. Connect this and it's like you have a fully charged battery.
 
Update

Just for you Sue and Jeanette I have been back and could not find the one I thought was priced forty odd quid. I don't know if its gone up or I got the last one but here is the identical one which I think came from the same supplier as mine. This one is £59.99 but if you go through a few some get to near £80.00. I have looked more closely at it and it sure is heavy for its small size. One thing what will come in handy for me is I can run my TV off the inverter without flattening the van batteries. Well have a read through and see what you think.

I was that impressed with Carol's at the Bugsworth meet, I read them up then bought one off eBay. You have to be a bit careful has Carol pointed out earlier. Most will start petrel engine's, but are quite limited on diesel engines. Some say the engine size for both fuels. Some just say will start diesel engines, but not the size which could be very small. The one I bought can fire a diesel up 22 times, I think it was up to 5 liters. It came today so will check it out more later. It was forty odd quid so dearer than most. It comes with nice case, it has a torch, charges laptops, phones, emergency flashing lights, this one also has a little bonus of a tyer pump that works off it's own battery. Just need to try it all now and not burst into tears coz it's rubbish.

Please let me know how you get on with it. It’s unlikely I’d want to fire up a diesel 22 times but if it’ll fire up a 2.5 diesel with a flat battery once I’d be interested especially if it’s only forty odd quid.

Maybe this one? RoyPow Portable Car Jump Starter 400A Peak 8000mAh, Emergency Battery Booster Pack Designed for 3.5L Petrol Engine (Max) , Power Bank with LED Flashlight & USB Charger Port, with Carring Case: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike - same spec as the LIDL one but a few quid cheaper. Looks good,


I've been looking at these generally recently actually and look handy (actually bought this one - Car Jump Starter,EletecPro 14400mAh 600A Peak with LED Emergency lights,External Battery Charger Auto Booster Jumper for Vehicles,Portable Power Bank with Flashlight and 4 USB Ports f: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike - earlier this week as a Christmas giveaway prize on my SUV Forum. Looked the business for bigger diesel engines with a 600A peak rate rather then just 200A and a 14Ah battery, but they are sold out now :( )

Clearly that cannot be a 50Ah battery in a package that size for that price, otherwise we would all be fitting super-small mega leisure battery banks in the glovebox.

I know battery technology is getting better all the time and soon we will be fitting super small batteries (see Trojan) but 58000 seems more like an accident in waiting. When you buy from the UK at least when it goes bang there's someone to complain at.
 
It's a weird way the Chinese give the short circuit discharge rating of the cells.

Well that's what it is like starting a petrol or even harder a diesel engine, hence the enormous amount of instantaneous current required.

The best thing about Lidl and Aldi purchases is the 3 year warranty.
