Can anyone recommend a good value and long lasting emergency jump pack? Thinking of getting one for a family member at Christmas

This looks ok for the money, but I don't know much about them.

Sealey RS131 12V 900A Emergency Power Pack by Sealey http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/9801434716/r ... vwbS62Y334" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I want something that can be left plugged in pretty much indefinitely and rarely used, but not be dead when it's needed. Also needs to be able to do car/van & motorbike

Any info appreciated

My dads got one we use it when we go away to charge phones and that it has a decent life like but unlike the one ur lookin at u Carnt turn the positive clamp off. I think permanently charging any battery damages them my self I might be wrong. And it's 12v so will do bike and car

Cheers for the info

They should have charge controllers to manage the power? I'd hope anyway

What model does your dad have?

His doesn't have one like but if u could get one with a trickle type charger I'm sure it would be fine but plugged into the car it won't be a constant charge

Ok thanks dude

I bought my father one about 8 years ago and it's been through hell jumped all sorts with it holds charge for weeks only thing thatdoesn't work is the torch but probably needs bulb changing. I even drove from Liverpool to Salford with it attached to a car as the alternater belt snapped in the dark for £20 it's probably earned more over the years for slow punctures lol

Thanks for the comments, and the tip on the Halfords one.

This is probably a stupid question, but these can be used on bikes too right? I can't see why not, but would rather ask

yeah no worries, just remember earth to frame and live to the battery.

Don't ever let the AA/RAC etc jump you from their direct port, its 24v, blew 2 of my coil sticks.
