motor trend gift

[jobber314]

hi all,

I just wanted to know of any who bought motor trend

if this device is really worth it. I went to my local shop to see it in person, the device is quite heavy, and also, what I am really worried is about the battery.

batteries are devices which have a maximum life, and this battery must be huge to start a car engine.

what do you think?

I saw this as well on Tim Ferris' Blog - Xmas gifts.


I used to own this EXACT charger thing and it has saved me and a few of my friends MANY times. It is definetely worth getting. It might be cheaper at your local auto parts store though. I bought mine at Autozone or Kragen.

Just leave it fully charged and in your trunk. Twice a year, recharge it just in case. You'll be happy to find it in your trunk if you ever need it.

Thanks for your opinion

I am still quite resistent to buy, usually batteries have a life of 2years, like in cellphones, and this is a big battery
