Seems like a pretty popular bit of kit!
If only they were an eBay Plus store for free express shipping, alas you must pay on top.
Still under that $100 price point for me at least, unfortunately no free power bank this time though!
It says free postage in the picture but then charges you for postage lol. Just an FYI to whomever is using lithium batteries, these won't work on your battery. You'll need one from a brand like NOCO.
Till this day I still dont know what sort of car uses lithium starter batteries, as most hybrids still uses acid. Is it just Tesla or something?
CTEK have the Lithium XS range too, bit more pricey though.
lithium is popular upgrade for motorbikes
Thanks for the heads up. Will wait for noco sale on amazon.
Some 4WD'ers are going dual lithium under the bonnet.
Mercedes ML365 has a lithium for the starter baterry, think maybe the S400 also
good price - I paid $100 for mine and am happy with it
works great but i regret getting it as it doesn't charge lithium batteries, had to buy a second charger : /
Awesome charger, my jet ski battery is 7 years old and is still in good condition because of this charger. I liked it so much I also bought the MXS 10 for my car.
I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on buying a jump starter instead of a charger.
I have a flat battery that I need to get going. If I jump start it and let the car idle for a couple of hours will that do the job?
This is a 5 Amp charger, a common size as charging batteries faster leads to more heat.
If your battery is 35-70Ah (common range for cars/utes) then you will need to run this for 7-12 hours (+~20% for efficiency losses) to restore a flat battery.
How long did you plan on running your car?
This charger has a recondition mode to charge a fully flat battery, which will do a better job than just idling the car for a couple of hours.
I have an 8 year old Mazda 3 that has never seen a new battery. Driven about 200km per week. What use case will I have for this?
