Having bought the unit recommended by Scottyav about I have to say it is a substantial bit of kit.
I've not had cause to use it in anger yet but feel more confident regarding it's abilities than others I've seen.
No doubt time will tell.

I was on the brink of buying something similar but am going to place an order for the XS tomorrow....shame we couldn't do a group buy through a trader?

Quick question; do they have to be connected to the battery or can it be done through the 13 pin socket? Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

If you mean how you charge them up I'm sure there is a 12v cigarette type charger and also a 240v 3pin plug charger
Ordered mine on Tuesday so can tell you more when it arrives

Well - time for me to eat humble pie - I was one of the biggest cynics of these devices and it passed my first test with flying colours. I left the sidelights on my Mini on for 12 hours - after which there was no light coming from them, so battery properly flat.

I connected the Floureon this morning & it started on the second turn of the key

The kit comes in a small case, with connectors, a cig lighter & 240v charger cable and a tyre pump -

XS POWERPACK arrived monday

4 lights showing straight out of box,charged a couple of phones and bluetooth speakers from it,then left the little light on to flatten the battery.only took 3 days to flattern the battery.
so charged it back up for around 8 hours

this morning went to fullfat, doors opened with remote, put key in but would not turn

checked voltage 7.2 volts

conected powerpack to earth post and positive post (not battery),four lights showing on power pack
got ignition lights on car

turned key and just a click no start

checked connections tried again but pressed the boost button this time

turned key just a click again,no start

last resort = read the manual

connected to battery this time

turned powerpack on

pressed boost

turned ignition on

waited around 20-25 seconds

turned key and started

still 4 lights on so looks like plenty of charge left in it


what a very nice bit of kit, did not think it would be any good ,but has blown me away being so small

cheers scott good call

I bought a Floureon a few weeks ago. It started my car first time (New Bosch S5 now fitted!).
It is extremely useful when it comes to starting my mower, so much so that I'm now of the opinion that buying a new mower battery would be far less fun

ive only charged mine once in over twelve months and still 3 leds and used a few times, best one ive used ironhorse you've made a good choice  _____________________________________________________
