it’s definitely worth reading the instructions, as mentioned before, if the Noco can’t detect the battery voltage because it’s so low, it won’t jump start, you need to press the x boost button to jump start, this also removes the safety features so double check everything is correctly connected.

I'm thinking of carrying my old battery as a jump start; it went flat last year when the alternator failed however changed with a new stop/Start and kept the old as a spare once I recharged it in the house. I'm hoping that will suffice as a back up compared to buying a jump starter kit.

That's a big numb lump to be carting around just on the off chance.

Aye that's that balance I know, haven't needed a jump since owning the van but I'm not spending x amount on the right jump starter if I don't need it. I should also mention it's sitting in the garage out the way and I'd probably only take it if I was going somewhere for more than two days. We have leads and I'm sure most people would be willing to give us a hand at a campsite anyway

A NOCO is not just a jump starter. Mine has a torch and can be used as a battery pack as well. My Father-In-Law kept leaving his car-derived van door slightly ajar overnight leaving the interior light on. I used my NOCO to super boost the dead battery several times before we took his licence and the car away.

My booster has the light - white and red with different modes as well as a built in compressor for pumping up tyres etc. The tyre inflation is surprisingly impressive. We had a small Ting one before which was OK but noisy and took an age on the van, this one seems a tad quieter but a lot faster.

As it’s basically a plastic box full of lithium cells (and the pump gubbins) I also bought a LiPo charging bag and store it in that. Prevents damage and in theory reduces the risk of a fire if anything shorts. I charge it in the bag too, as that’s what they’re designed for, and it doesn’t seem to get too warm.

I read a Which Review on tyre compressors and got the one with the best accuracy so I’ve got that covered too

Unfortunately after less than a year I am through my second battery... Going to try warranty again.... worked last time! Noco coming into play last few days. Trouble I have is don't have time to go decent run so flat each time... Good old noco! Def some piece of kit! Maybe my next van won't need

I got one of these. Jumping jack. Jumps upto a 2.5 diesel, comes with different charging leads for phones, laptops etc. Never really ran it to empty, but has powered an ipad that is used as a TV in the back for the kids for a 6 hour road trip and only used 25% of battery, so pretty good.
