i drove over my old battery bosster in the shed so need a new one. this one seems like very good value. i think i paid around €300 for my last one?

Its Massive!!..why do you need such a biggie?...fwiw, i bought one off the net 4 years ago, silverline..it packed up soon after...and was relegated to the dump...waste of €60.
Its replacement was bought off a local factors for not much more, and at least if theres a problem youre not looking for satisfaction off some joker in the UK or wherever..
A decent charger with fast-charge and 12v and 24v options can be had for 100 euro ish.
I think theres too many lads jumping to buy off the net, the savings can be small, and if theres a problem, then its YOUR problem..

Seems great values indeed.
Just check that the amperage in boost mode is enough for your needs. Some googling should tell quick enough. If it doesn't have enough to boost a decent tractor engine then it will be cutting out through overheating.

Looks fairly massive for the price. I bought a 12v/24v charger in a local Agri garage, made in Italy like so much electrical stuff these days. €115.
Was happy enough with it, its not labelled as a clarke, and its blue, but identical to this one pictured. Was starting the digger, with it attached and switched on, when it went BANG. Totally dead. Local electrical engineer charged €40 to get it working again. Its about 14 inches across, by 10 inches deep and 10 inches high. Dont know where in the country you are located, but the one you are looking at is not too far across the border, so in a worst case scenario, you could arrive back on his doorstep with it.
