Lidl portable jump pack

No personally, but I have requested feedback from peers and they are supposed to be good... in a cheep and cheerful way.

I have just opted for a set of leads in each car of mine. Lower maintenance and you will generally always find somebody to "give you a jump".

If you frequently go places where you can't come across another car in say, 15 minutes (waiting, walking) .. then you need to plan accordingly.

Any idea how long it holds a charge for? Could I charge it up, and then just forget it in the car, or would it need a regular recharge?

most lidl stuff is pure shite to be honest.

a chocolate teapot be more useful

anything electrical i bought there blew up

they say made in Germany but Its the Chinese that are making it and theyre not a great bunch of lads when its comes to quality

i dont understand why they keep peddling out this rubbish, shame on you lidl

Have to agree, I have relatives that bought mowers, pressure washers and various other tools that ended up in skip, buy cheap buy twice as they say

Anything electrical from Lidl has a 3 year guarantee (which, I admit, can be handy sometimes).

The battery pack in question is highly unlikely to fail imo.

I wonder how many phone charges you could get from it? Don't bother doing the maths for me, I'd say the answer is "loads". 🙂

Yeah, the previous model of this Lidl had 12,000mAh, so that would only charge a 3,000mAh phone battery 3-4 times. Unless my simple calculation is wrong.

Any idea if it will suit a 2.0 petrol?

I had one of those when we had a car that tended self-discharge randomly (it'd be driving around fine and then you'd get up the next morning and it'd be flat as a pancake, never figured out what was causing the drain).

The jump-starter worked fine but as with the poster above, we let it go flat after changing cars and it was impossible to get a charge into it after that so it went into the bin. I don't know if the recent versions are any better.

OP link no longer working for me...is this a charger or a lithium battery jump pack?

My Noco boost jump starter is the same, if the battery is completely flat it won’t recognise it, but you can override it so it still sends power to the battery by holding one of the buttons

Thats just a charger all be it imo a good one for the money. I've got two of the previous ones they have sold which are less powerful.

This is the sort of thing you get inside one of those portable jump packs, this isn't the Lidl one.

Nearly all those tools are good. Particularly if its just home DIY use.

Just a note don't use them on wheel nuts, OK maybe to remove them (but best not used on locking nuts) but definitely not for tightening them.

Claims to be nearly as powerful as my dewalt impact wrench.

Get 4Amp batteries - but that does up the price a good bit.

Edit> With the included charger and 4Amp battery its a great deal.

Had one for light farm use Car Maintenance it good for sure for money doing things around Machinery suspension ect But will not Loosen wheel nuts and can be very dangerous toy too put wheel on trailer with it and forgot to use Wrench to tighten them after (which is a must as it will not tighten wheel nut enough and that a Fact 400nm on box rubbish in my eyes) wheel loosen Destroyed rim and wheel bolts luckily I Noticed it before wheel came off . It was very Reliable too had about 4 years before it broke after lot of use got a milwaukee in end

3 year warranty on electrical items too...
