formatzero Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 As per the title,can anyone recommend a portable jump start pack suitable for the 350z. There seems to be a plethora available so any feedback appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Whichever one you buy, I'd highly recommend testing it on purchasing. Leave the lights on. Run the battery down. See how the pack works. I've read so many reports of bogus products. The good ones do work though I got this over a year ago as an Amazon lightning deal for £15. Works on the Zed instantly. Battery was left to die so all I got was a click on turning the key. Hooked it up and started first time Helped out a few bystanders with it too. Been offered £50 for it by one bystander I helped I'd buy from a big brand or a retailer you can get a refund/replacement. Costco, Halfords springs to mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptek49 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've just picked up one of these as this sounds like a really good idea now you've mentioned it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0748GL615/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Reviews are good - Amazon have a great returns policy if its junk anyway. My batteries been struggling a bit due to the cold and my short commute to work so this should hopefully do the trick if I need it. The item description mentions max engine size it's rated for is 2.5L, however a reviewer has mentioned jumping their GTR with it so we shouldn't have a problem. I can let you know next week how well it works if you want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGT4 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 from experience you'll need something with much more punch for the 350z - like 700A+ anything less is unlikely to work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I have always just got something from Amazon and never had problems. You can read verified reviews see what cars people use for some guidance (some verified are fake though!) - they often give guidance on engine size capability etc. Edited January 31, 2019 by coldel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've cancelled my order and ordered this instead: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TACKLIFE-Car-Jump-Starter-Flashlight/dp/B075HBDN95/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1548945143&sr=1-3-spons&keywords=600a+jump+starter&psc=1 Will update once it's arrived next week.

scobie140 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I've got a little portable one off amazon years ago, Starts the zed from stone dead no problem several times on the one charge. Well worth the £50 to save messing around with jump leads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
