That looks awesome, just wonder how long the charge lasts in the pack. Have to go on the Santa list  :drinking:

Very impressive, especially for those that do a lot of winter driving off the beaten path.

My pal bought a few of these for his friends (not the actual one in the vid) and I've used them and can recommend them, from memory he paid £30 each for them from china. Best part was I seen one 100%  the same but only different was this was a 'branded' one and was around the £100 mark. What a mark up they must make selling them!

What are these like if left connected to the battery as an extra backup? I've got a BMW that has a battery drain somewhere and the garage think it's a module that will cost around a grand to fix. But we were looking to upgrade soon so could I connect one of these as a backup battery and run it for a month whilst we find a new car?
