Hi,

We have a 4.4 diesel V8

Often get a flat battery for no reason.

Under normal circumstances `I am heading towards critical ferry links and deadlines. Can anyone recommend a good compact battery boost / starter pack please?

ET

I used to disconnect mine , might be sensible getting a cut off switch fitted.

thanks

seems the slightest drain and the starter will not kick over

How old is your battery? Have you checked it is the correct sized AGM?

Starter is probably on the way out.

I was watching for the recommendation of a good jump start pack.... just in case....

Though I know I need another battery really....

One of the bigger NOCO ones - GB50 or GB70.

I've also been watching.
I bought two of these two years ago

But from Amazon at the time.
I took one back home to Zimbabwe for my D3 there and the other one I use here.
I've had battery problems with my SC (re- I needed a new battery but couldn't be arsed to buy one as I was going back to work and it was parked up for another 4 months!)
This pack sorted me but it was short-term. I've since put a new battery in and cleared most of my problems in the SC with my GAP OBD tool because the battery is nice and fresh.
Hope this helps!!
To answer your question, the battery pack is a short-term answer.
Anything from Land Rover, after it gets electronic, the first port of call is the battery voltage!!! 2005 FFRR SC Java Black with Overfinch Exhaust (UK)

NOCO GB150 - does a very good job!

I've had a NOCO GB70 for a few months now and it's been fantastic.
Much better than the giant lead acid pack I have. Its started various cars more than a dozen times already, including our 3.6tdv8 maybe 6 times - all on its first charge.
Whatever the car battery state, after attaching & waiting a minute, they spin over at normal speed & start immediately. Paul,

GB70 here, but I am installing a dual battery system from Traxide:

These cars need 2 batteries I think. I also plan to clean(contact cleaner ) all the contacts from alternator > starter > battery to make sure there is no resistance in the circuit etc

Ironically since I got my GB70 a few years ago I haven’t had a problem. I have helped a few other though - works a treat  Geoff

Thanks for the replies.

Same issues again the other day ... "chunk" when pressing start. Realeased handbrake, it started.

Ive not gone down The NOCO route. Ive ordered a cheaper version, up-to 8l Diesel for £70. Its a bigger version to the one I keep in Spain that has been brilliant for 5 years.

You sure it’s the battery and not the starter motor?
