Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted January 7, 2018 While in Lidl I spotted this little power pack at just short of £40. It'll be handy for jump starting the tractors if needs must away from home. Has a very good light as well. Battery should be good for 20 jump starts the bumph says. Has a recharging plug and lead. 1 Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #2 Posted January 7, 2018 I saw those the other day, they look a bit small have you tried it yet on a flat battery yet , ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #3 Posted January 7, 2018 Not got a flat battery. Only rectangular ones. Tried it on the Sears/Roper. The battery on that is slowly losing charge for some reason. After two - th ree weeks standing, will turn engine but not fast enough. Started easily using the pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Came off one of John's tractors which he said at the time was a good one. Before that it had a 12 volt 17 amp battery which I used for starting a model boat engine. I think the Roper killed it. 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #5 Posted January 7, 2018 Maybe anew battery on the to do list, then Alan. Along with some new tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A BIG difference to the Roper. Boat 65 inches long. 1 expeatfarmer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #7 Posted January 8, 2018 Without going out for a look, I think ok for petrol engines up to 2000cc and diesels to 1600cc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
