Hi folks
I thought it may be useful to pass on details of this bit of kit as I found it invaluable during my recent trip across Europe and may well be of interest to others
It is a vehicle starter pack which is small enough to sit on my bulkhead under the bonnet(see pic)
It can be recharged via 240V mains,USB or from your vehicle.
It also has adapters for phones and other electronic equipment
There are lots on Ebay of varying makes outputs and of course prices
This particular one outputs 20000mAh and I chose it as it was advertised as suitable for up to 3.5l Petrol and 2.8l Diesel, so should have plenty of punch for my 2l
It weighs less than 1lb and measures 165mm x 79mm x 40mm so is tiny!
I was initially sceptical when it arrived in the post as although I had read the description when I actually had it in my hand I thought "no-way" so I deliberately drained my Battery and used it to fire up the Cabrio 3 times from cold and there was still plenty of charge to do more if required but I was satisfied it was up to the job
I then fitted it under the bonnet for the trip abroad and it came into use when I left headlights on for several hours in a car park in Austria and came back to not even a flicker,so connected up and started no problem so saving the day and saving me from a "rollocking" from my co-pilot!!
