Jump starter pack for E90

rk164 · 04-26-2020, 06:55 AM

Hi there

I have a 2006 E90 330i with a flat battery, which I wanted to buy a jump starter pack for.

Are there any recommendations or minimum spec for these?

Also the car was locked when the battery died, what happens with the alarm when it’s jump started?

Thanks in advance

Not sure if that is what the OP purchased but I note he jumped started the car somehow and now he has other issues as seen in another post.

Why?

Total lack of info from the seller. What's the battery capacity? How long can it sustain the 600A Max draw? Etc.

Should be noted that it's probably a decent size/shape for throwing, but still I don't fancy it for £185. Maybe for £50 I'd take a punt.

If you don't need your car urgently and you have a socket nearby, maybe have a look at one of the CTEK chargers. I use the CTEK MXS 5.0 as I live in London and sometimes my car is just parked up for weeks and weeks on end. It does a great job.
