    Lightbulb Battery booster (lithium pack)

    I got myself today a Lithium booster pack from Canadian tire (on sale at 99$ instead of $160). Perfect for our small trunk. My other huge 800amps eliminator was taking 25% of the trunk. In the Jeep I didn't care, but in this car.... it's cumbersome.

    Anyhow, impressive. Small, easy to keep warm, and impressively powerful. I did a test, where I unplugged the battery, connected the unit to the wires, and bam. Perfect start as if it was +20 outside.

    If you're in need for a jump starter, or never thought of it. This is great for emergency situation, and so small, it fits in the glove box!

    If I leave it in the car, I can easily put it in my coat to warm it up before use.

    If anyone else wants one: Noco Genius GB30 Boost. Some reviews looked way off. Not sure if they didn't charge it first like the warning label says, but I sure didn't have any problem with it.

    Cheers.

    That's a good sale price.

    I've never used a booster pack before. Interesting.... this is probably the best spec in the description:


    • battery holds its charge for up to 1 year and handles over 1000 recharge cycles


    Can't find a lead acid equivalent to that!!
