    I've got something similar I bought a few years back from Autobarn. Never used it on the boat but I did jump the V8 diesel cruiser a couple of times last year when the batteries were dying without issue. The batteries weren't totally buggered but wouldn't do the first start in the morning.

    The missus did a bit of research before coming up with this little lithium number.....only used it a couple of times so far with no issues..

    She picked it up for half price on a Fathers day sale..

    They are brilliant!! If you maintain them that is....you can't buy one and throw it in the glove box to be there for 9 months down the track.
    You can stockpile bog rolls for a lifetime, but you can't stockpile energy for 12 months.

    Maybe it's me but nearly everything electrical that I've bought from Aldi I've had to return or just didn't last.

    Not just you Sam. At least Uniden (as far as I know) isn't an Aldi brand.

    Yep they are great, small and portable. Have used them to jump start engines, pump up airbeds and boat tow toys. Got one from Kings, they are the same price as the Aldi, but have a bit larger capacity.
