    Hi thanks for the info, however from past experience most people I have encountered who have tried them have found them next to useless.

    In fact for roughly the same price as it is advertised for it is possible to get a 400 amp starter pack.

    I know which I would rather have in my car.

    Cheap jump pack off ebay. eek..

    My 1st guess would be the battery will last as long as one in a modern smart phone between charges.

    They need to be charged at least monthly even if not used.

    If you let the battery run down and leave it in that state it wont charge properly afterwards.

    I have a Clarke 910 unit with a compressor, Its handy. And the battery still holds a decent charge after 6 years.
    It started a fiesta with a totally dead battery a little while back.
