Dont bother buying this item, it does not work been used a few times and not started one car! Also it looks like Coopers dont let you give their products one star rating reviews they only show higher rating reviews.0

You're to late we've all bought one. Pity you weren't here in 2014 to advise us.0

It should illegal to sell cr4p like this, it never ceases to amaze me how people are willing to pay more to mask a problem than they'd need to pay to actually fix it. Even in this case, buy one of these and you just increased the total cost of your inevitable battery replacement.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Even if they were any good, who would want to leave one in their car 24/7 have you seen what happens to a LiPo battery when it goes bad? They swell and then can catch fire.
Imagine that in your car on a hot sunny day? Swollen batteries and a nice hot car.. Toasty...Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
If it's a jump start you need then a Jumping Jack works well , size of a mobile phone but easily starts a car.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Why would anyone pay £60-£90 for a jumping jack when you can get a jump pack for around £50 that has cranking amperage of up to 900amps.?0

Exactly, which goes back to my previous point about spending more money to mask a problem than to actually fix it.
Flogging extra life out of a knackered car battery is VERY dangerous thing to do and I think the breakdown recovery people have a lot to answer for in showing people that it's "ok" to keep jump starting their car.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
