Micro Jump Start Kit

Just received this news from ECS Tuning: Micro Jump Start Kit

Looks pretty small for what it can do. I might grab one to have it with me this winter. One never knows..

Rip off.

Check Amazon. These Lithium Ion jump packs rock. The one I have can be have for under $70 and I've jumped super dead batteries on motors way bigger than your are "supposed" to be able to jump. Ford V10 that wouldn't fire up a dome light for example. Hook up and these vehicles fire up as if the battery wasn't even low. I loan mine out to people regularly and every time I hear "I need to buy one of these."

Ecstuning is basically a rip off :

Didn't know these small booster pack existed.
For me it was news. Now I will get one for sure. Nitrousbird review sealed it.

Thanks

This is the bigger version of mine

I've jumped my E92 with no issues. This week it jumped a 4.6L Ford and a 5.4L ford for coworkers and hasn't seen a charge in months.

From what I know Powerall was the first out with these. The rest I believe is just a duplication of it. I all the Powerall and it works well.

Garage List
I purchased a Battery Tender 12-Cell Lithium-Ion Portable Power Pack (model #030-0001-WH) at Home Depot for about $75. Started my 1993 Pathfinder in one try after it had been sitting with a completely dead battery for a couple of weeks.

Same model at amazon is $100. http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender.../dp/B00Q2E2QF0
