Ksetch Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 It's that time of year when some of us get caught out with the dreaded flat battery. I have jump leads but the problem I have discovered is getting the bonnet open so I have realised that I will need to get myself a compact battery jump starter pack. The Sealey SL65S seems to be the recommended one but do any of you have any further recommendations. Is this powerful enough to start my 986 2.7 ? The current battery is 2 years old and the car is always kept in the garage overnight but is not in daily use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKW59 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I have one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BF08HGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 bought it on a flash sale like @Darkstar did. I had cause to use it a fortnight ago, I didn't need to pop the frunk (just enough juice left in the battery) but it started the car exactly as it claimed!

the baron Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I got one of these at silverstone classics in the summer, i also use it to charge my phone and iPad etc in the car as ive only got one cig lighter so comes in really handy, you have to get this size as the smaller ones aren’t capable of jumping a Boxster https://www.enigmabatteries.net/600-amp-jump-starters/jump-starter-series-600.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulQ Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I just keep a smaller starter battery on standby. Something 20-30ah will be ample to start the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
