Not sure how good those "cheap" ones are as I've used a more pro version at the car rental place I used to work at....
Started even with the car battery being fully dead cos people forgot inside lights on for 3 days at -25 degrees  :whistle:

if that charging unit is yellow then return it asap. the battery inside doesn't last if you rarely use it and costs more to replace than the whole unit. i hope you have abetter one!!

It aint those bright yellow cheap ones. This is a vommy yellow colour that was £115 i just got it cheap(59) it says in instructions to charge it once every 3 months. Its cheaper than adding the £80 AA homestart either way im happy. Took it out gor a run to charge it up. Should be fine. If not ill post it :laugh:
