car battery<\/a> jump starter. These useful devices have gotten us out of trouble plenty of times here at FC Towers, and we’re sure many of you can relate. After all, it’s all well and good having a set of jump leads to hand, but that requires a second car to get you out of bother…<\/p>\nInstead, standalone car battery jump starters are the perfect solution for when you’re on your own and stuck with a vehicle that refuses to budge. So, if you’re looking to purchase one, here’s our take on the best options currently out there to choose from:<\/p>\n

NOCO Boost Sport GB20<\/h3>\n
Award:<\/strong> Best Buy
\nRRP:<\/strong> $99.95 \/ \u00a381.77
\nPerformance:<\/strong> 8\/14
\nIs it worth the money?<\/strong> 6\/6
\nOverall score:<\/strong> 14\/20<\/p>\nAfter years of almost having the UK’s smart charger market to themselves, Ctek now has strong competition from the American NOCO brand. And whilst Ctek seems reluctant to launch a jump starter, NOCO has no such qualms. With up to 500 cranking Amps available, rated to start up to 4 liter petrol engines, the GB20 caters for the vast majority of cars and small SUVs. It’s a well-made, solidly performing, unit that’s a doddle to use. Best points are the generously long leads, the bright LED torch, ample safety features, and an intuitive one function per button panel layout.<\/p>\n
