I was actually thinking about putting an SAE connector (or similar) in anyway so I could carry something like this around with me:

But then I decided that it was crazy and I should just try and find/fix the problem.

As well as checking the connectors, etc., if I have time I'll check the voltages at the battery and lights this weekend, and I may even see if I can get an ammeter in line (although not when starting).

I have one of those but it might not be any use through the SAE connector as the current they supply is very large.However it's bailed my Car out of the poo several times as I've not been using it much in the Winter and the Alarm drains the battery :O


It's still good to fit an SAE connector though as then it's easy to plug a charger in when needed.Also it supplies my Keis Heated inner gloves in the cold.
