Real-World Scenario

Battery dead on a cold Monday morning? Cold weather is the number one killer of car batteries. The chemical reaction that produces electricity slows dramatically below freezing, and a battery that was marginal on Friday won't start on Monday. Our professional jump packs handle even the coldest mornings.

What NOT to Do

Don't pour boiling water on a frozen windscreen — the thermal shock will crack the glass. Use a proper de-icer or call us if the vehicle won't start in freezing conditions.
