2:  Was I the only one who really wanted to see that positive terminal short on the body?

I saw it 'relax' a little toward the body and got all excited to see a bit of DC welding.. but no. Boo. ;D

Omega battery today, ~11V (after it's been on the battery conditioner for a month!).. didn't even have the power to unlock the doors when I put it back on the car.

Hooked the little gizmo from the video up and it turned over and started first time.  Job jobbed.

Nice one  :y  from what I can remember from the instructions before I binned them, they advise not to leave it connected for any length of time.  The power pack once charged seems to hold it`s charge.

Looks impressive. I have cause to endlessly jump start something! I'll order one aswell  :y
Thanks Aaron & Nick W for your feedback, as without it I would never buy one. Certainly easier to carry then the bloody heavy jump packs!

I spotted these in Costco the other day, about £45.   :)

Although I'm not sure if it was the same specs as others linked on this thread.  ;)
