Battery Starter/Chargers
I'm looking into getting one of these, or if not a simple power pack for jump-starting etc, but theres so many out there its hard to know where to begin!
I've seen them with cranking boost of anything from 60amps to 2000amps.
Which would do the job for the average car at home? (mines a Skyline, but don't see it makes much diff......)
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers
Neil

- but does joe publics car really need 400 amps of starting power? Obviously the bigger the better but I guess theres no need for overkill too

LOL!!! Its actually the Skyline LOL!
Its got a **** poor small battery to save weight and with the alarm on can go flat in 3-4 days if not started!
Though the Pug lasts about a week from drain until that goes too - however, as thats garaged and used infrequently I disconnect the battery, and so it always starts first time!
