    How do you charge a laptop with it? Just curious.

    It has the lead, adaptor and a variety of connectors!

    I was pretty sceptical it had a Mac magsafe connector, but apparently it does. Fair enough!

    My neighbour left her car lights on overnight, so battery dead, car not starting.

    Out I came with my £22 tiny little powerbank. I felt like a bit of a fool, how could such a small battery possibly jump start the car?

    But yes. Yes it did start the car!

    Anything with Lithium Ion Batteries and the like can only be sent to UK Mainland, so I recommend AddressPal.

    Grabbed one aswell, for 19.40 has to be worth a punt considering youd pay the same for a powerbank, as above addresspal was the only option, even though the only time I used them before they lost the package I'll give them 1 more try.

    Intrested to see how it will fair over time without much use and if it'll end up as a paperweight, but sure isn't that what bargain alerts is for!

    Can be used as a powerbank also.. so potentially some usage there.

    You will need to charge it up every month or two otherwise it won't be able to jump start a car, but there is no reason it won't last for a few years. I'm keeping mine in my classic car (20 years old) that I take up the mountains to go hiking. The last thing I would want after coming down from a long winter hike to my car in the middle of nowhere with no phone reception is for it not to start :D

    The car I keep the charger in? A '99 Porsche Boxster. My other classic, an '87 Mercedes 190E 2.6 auto, is up for sale. Or it will be in the next few days. If I were to keep it, I'd keep a charger in that car too :D

    Nice, I'm trying to decide what classic to get, didn't realise boxters were classic now, excellent!


  • Registered Users Posts: 64,702 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    Well depends on your definition of classic :)

    You don't get the cheap €56 motor tax until the car is 30 years old and insurance depends, I have a very cheap fully comp policy where even some 15 year old cars qualify as classic. If you are interested in classic cars, have a look on the classic cars forum! Even start a thread with what you like and you'll get a load of helpful reactions.

    I bought an 8000/300 one on a lightning deal

    Would have preferred bigger money allowing

    ,car is a 1.3 and easy started


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,375 ✭✭✭5500


    Starter basq linked to arrived yesterday, surprised at how small it is, easy to throw in the glove box and forget its there. Plenty of warnings on it though not to use on a diesel engine, but ok with petrol up to 2.5L, presume the 300A isnt enough for diesel, so worth bearing in mind for anyone who is looking to pick one up, take note of the starting/peak current
