Which Jump Starter?

[Dellmassive]

100%.

The gb40 or gb70 are much cheaper.

Being as the advice is to not clamp directly onto the battery -ve terminal on the T6 when jump starting, I've wondered if there is a convenient place to attach the -ve clamp as the "spread" of these Lithium jump start clamps is quite limited?

Exactly why I haven't bought one yet!
Where do I put the negative clamp if not on the battery and having only a very short cable length?

Thanks Dellmassive, but I don't think that the clamps on my Lithium jump starter will spread even as far as the third picture in that thread.

@andys comment made sense : I clip on another jump lead to the earth one so it reaches the engine block.

 

[Loz]

for a few seconds of charge from the jump starter I just put it straight on the battery posts, its charging and long term power that must go through the battery monitor.

3:20 into the vid

 

[jvt02]

for the price the db power 600 is hard to beat, and has good reviews, when I was looking at getting a jump starter I read all the reviews and this one came out tops. its not something you use everyday, but gives peace of mind, and it works superbly.

I have an old 320 Mercedes, it is safe to jump start it from my T6 using the positive battery terminal and the earth on the left side of the engine?

only if you disconnect the cali first(remove the earth) then put the leads straight across the battery

Sorry I’m a bit confused (not hard!) so I undo everything connected to the negative terminal on the battery in my T6 , then connect the batteries using the leads as you would normally?

 

[Dellmassive]

So I loved The NOCO so much, i got another . . . . . .

How does the GB50 compare - Looks like it might be a good option. Anyone tried one?

I had one for 2 years and was really happy with how little charge it lost when left for ages. It also got two people out of trouble by jumpstarting their cars, but when I checked it just before going on holiday in Sept this year, it was at 0v and has refused to charge ever since
