| Description: | The concept is rather simple no matter what you call it – a temporary connection is made to the battery of another vehicle, or to some other external power source. The external supply of electricity recharges the disabled vehicle’s battery and provides some of the power needed to crank the engine. Once the vehicle has been started, its normal charging system will recharge, so the auxiliary source can be removed.
You won’t use it 99 per cent of the time, but it will come more than handy when you actually do need to use it. As they say, the best jump box is the one you have when you need it but as most flat batteries happen when you least expect them, for instance, a road trip or when in a rush so when you don’t have one, the only other alternative to the jump start battery is jumper cables. The problem with jumper cables is that you’re left at the mercy of a kind fellow motorist to lend you their battery so you can jump-start your car. That’s not always possible, nor is it fast.
A great thing about car jump packs is that most of them are relatively small and don’t occupy a lot of space, so you can carry them around with you all the time. What’s more, most of them have lots of other practical and functional uses and features, but choosing the perfect one can be overwhelming if you’re not too familiar with the subject.
Reading the lines above you may ask: What is the difference between car battery jump starter, car battery booster pack and battery jump box? The answer is fairly simple – none at all, it is the same thing, just called differently. |
