Arteck 900A Peak Car Jump Starter (Up to 7.0L Gas or 6.5L Diesel) Auto Battery Booster and 18000mAh Portable External Battery Charger for Automotive, Boat, Phone with Adaptors, 12V Jump Leads, LED

I've now bought several of these and consider them to be absolutely indispensable, buy one for each car you have and stick them in the boot till you need it.We live in rural Northumberland, 12 miles from the nearest garage and, when I'm out visiting can be that distance or more from the nearest house. It only took one flat battery experience up on the moors to convince me of the need for one of these in each car and the kit is superb, dead easy to use and very, very reliable. Charge it up when you first get it and then forget about it till you need to jump start something.We've used ours on 4x4s, vans, quad bikes, motorcycles and on one bad day I used it to jump the tractor eight or nine times. The kids like it as well because it charges their phones up, there's a good torch built in and it literally saved me half a day's walking off the moors. We've had -10 up here the last few weeks and it kills batteries without warning, latest use for the jump starter was to fire up the tractor and then act as it's main battery for an hour while I moved stuff around the yard. Just started it first thing and then kept it running as long as I needed.The Arteck brand is a good one, I had a technical query and they replied by return of email and it easily stands up to being bounced about on the tractor or in the boot of the Jeep and I've used mine dozens of times without problem. I bought the smaller one for my son's girlfriend this Christmas, odd gift you might think but more use than a half case of Prosecco as she has an old van they use for surf trips, climbing and mountain biking holidays.Very strongly recommended, wherever you live and whatever you drive.PS. A friend had a flat battery and it took the RAC / AA / Green Flag an hour and a quarter to get to them. Jump start and away home they went. £60 to buy one of these and avoid the delay, if you have a smaller car then only spend £30 on the smaller version. Money well spent ?

Here are 3 reasons I got this product:1) The most important reason. I got this product because I have been in painful situations before where my previous car’s battery flattened in the past.2) On average I drive around 1,500 miles around the UK in my car so need something where I don’t have to wait for vehicle rescue to jump start it for me after waiting for them for an hour. Especially in winter.3) Past products I got from Arteck have been really good quality and they seem to be a good brand.With that in mind here is my review.**Question: What did you get when you opened this box? **Answer:• Multi-Functional Car Jump Starter external Battery• Compact Box• Jumper Leads• Wall Charger• Car Charger• USB Cables (Micro USB cable and Apple chargers)• User Manual** Question: Does it jump start a car? **Answer:Yes.

I purchased this product after getting stuck in my car with a flat battery, I had jump leads in the car but I was in the middle of nowhere without another car in sight. I'm a landscape photographer and often go to remote areas at night and sometimes I'm sat in my car for hours whilst taking star photographs etc. Anyway I wasn't expecting much considering the price. I was pleasantly surprised when opening the box. The device itself is in a nice case and comes with lots of cables and adapters neatly tucked away in the top pocket. Build quality far exceeded my expectations, the plastic is nicely molded with tight fitting seams and feels solid. The built in torch is bright and comes with 3 settings. I have jumped my 4.0 L petrol jeep and my 2.0 tdi insignia it had no problem doing either. I have also used it as a power bank a few times. I was able to fully charge my 10 inch tablet, my phone (twice) and my small vape (3 times) all from flat. This took the jump pack to about 12% charge. I have since fully charged the pack and it has been in the boot of my car for about 3 weeks. I took it out today to check the charge level and it was still at 100%I dont normally write reviews but I've been really impressed with this product so far and the confidence it gives me knowing it's in the back of my car was well worth the money.
