JamieP Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Does anyone have any opinions of this kind of device? http://www.lazada.co.th/i-unique-jump-starter-power-bank-22000-mah-white-8-in-1-907781.html I have left my keys in the ignition of my scooter (Honda Click) yet again. This time however, I can't even get it to start using the kick starter. So, besides the obvious solution of not leaving the ignition on in the first place, are this things any good?

BSJ Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 They put in the header it's 22amp but down in the text it's suddenly dropped to 14amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Didn't notice that but wasn't talking about this particular model necessarily. Just the general concept. Do they work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaguy Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I bought one last year when both my motorcycle and truck battery kept dying. Not exactly that model, but looks and functions similar. Works great. I can jump my 3.0 liter Isuzu Dmax with it several times without having to recharge the unit. Also, it jumps my VFR many times before running down. Took it camping and used the light on it for 4 hours without it dying. Great little unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks, floridaguy. Might well invest in one. At a couple of thousand baht, it's not a lot. Don't need it just now though. Managed to get it to kickstart no problem after posting the OP then took the bike on a run to charge the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I don't get it? If your battery is not charging should it not be replaced. It seems like your trying to put off the inevitable. I use a trickle charger on my bike battery and it never lets me down (with the knowledge that they do need replacing quicker here due to hotter climate) Edited July 29, 2015 by DILLIGAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just tends to discharge again when I stupidly leave the keys in the ignition......

DILLIGAD Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 OK , Sorry, I (wrongly) assumed that the battery was the problem. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
