Battery charger in lidl

Iloverain

Howdy. There's a battery charger with jump start function coming to lidl Monday would it be able to jump start a tractor aswell or would you need a stronger one?
Can't link it for some reason.

Ten Pin

According to the product details at the link below it gives a pulse of 75 amps, doesn't seem enough for a weak battery in a tractor especially on a frosty morning. Probably need well over 100 amps. The manual can be downloaded from that page as well.

I jump started an eastern European woman outside ALDI one morning

I see that they have the led warning lights for sale again. I bought one last year and found it handy.

I got one of them in Maplins start of this year. €12 I think. Wicked handy yoke to have in the car.

Was outside ALDI not very public for that sort of thing. Surely you could've found somewhere more private.

Thats what you get for thinking

I hate them electronic yokes, they seen to have a mind of their own and, in my experience, won't work on a completely flat battery at all.

Best bet I think, is a good brute of a conventional charger that has a real amp meter and a boost function. Five or ten minutes on a 25 amp boost (while you're doing something else) will generally get you going, and you have the comfort of seeing what's happening rather than looking aat LEDs blinking all over the place.

I know what you mean but there is a way around that. Get jump leads and connect the dead battery to a good one. Connect the charger then and it won't detect that the battery is flat. Leave over night then to charge.

I bought a cheapo charger in Aldi years ago. Still works fine. Don't see the need to have a device to jump start a tractor. A set of jump leads should do for the rare eventuality.
