Product Information

A jump start is a handy way to start a car with a flat battery. But jump leads can cause damage to both cars and people if they’re not used properly. Most batteries will last somewhere between 5 and 7 years. However, our mechanics see cases where the battery has failed after only 2 or 3 years because of how the car was driven. There are a few ways you can avoid getting a flat battery and help your car's battery last longer: 1. Go for regular drives

If you’re keen to do it yourself, take a look at our advice on how to jump start a car. But make sure you read the instructions in your handbook and follow those if they're different to our steps. Maximum capacity – Engine sizes have been shrinking in recent times, and unless you’re running a huge land yacht of a car, you won’t need a hugely powerful jump starter.

Bigger engines need extra oomph to get going, which is often why cheaper models will struggle with engines larger than three litres. This hand-sized option from NOCO may not be cheap, but it will be able to start pretty much any engine you’d find in a car, even top-speed chasing supercars like the Lamborghini Aventador. Safety features – There’s some serious voltage running through a jump starter, and electricity can cause pain and fire if not used properly. Look for non-sparking leads as well as protection against overcharging and reverse polarity. After all, for the money you’re paying, you should expect it to be safe to use. If you've got a flat battery, we won’t just jump-start you and send you on your way. As well as charging or replacing your battery, we'll try to find out why it went flat in the first place.
